Title: Quality of Data from Bitcoincharts
Post by: BNO on March 05, 2014, 09:47:14 AM
Hi all,

i downloaded the data for MtGox USD from here 2 weeks ago (18.2.2014):

http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/

And then i downloaded the same data today. And then i realized that there are differences in the files before the 18.2.2014:
for example line 28/29 seemed to have switched places in the new file and there are lots of more differences  :o :o

Theoretically this change could have hapened on my machine because i opened it to have a look on it (with Notepad++).

Anyone observed something similar with the data from bitcoincharts??

I'm interested in Details what means now and average? Now implies that they changed the data backwards?
