Hello all,

It's a tough market for speculators but there are still opportunities to take profits. Jackbot.net's starter plan is now free and can notify you via SMS when your price signals are met. The basic and pro subscription plans prices have also been reduced. You can also try both paid plans for two months free by entering coupon code TwoMonthsFree during registration.

Take care and good luck!
The jackbot.net team.

I may not be 100% up on the competition at this point, but this is based on what I know.

   •   some pages are failing to load for me. I'm getting 500 responses.


There are others but I think they are all pretty basic: just an email notification when the price hits a certain threshold. We honestly feel jackbot.net is the premium player on the market. That doesn't mean it's for everyone, but we do hope everyone will give it it look!

So the reasons for using our service are:
   •   alert setup is both easy and powerful
   •   no need to deal with credit purchases. subscription based.
   •   reliable and well tested
   •   price competitive, especially relative to ease of use and features

Btw, I'd love to add payment by crypto! It just wasn't in the plans for phase 1.

thanks for the feedback!

what happened to the ticker api?

https://bitcurex.com/api/pln/ticker.json
https://bitcurex.com/api/eur/ticker.json


it looks like there are assumed decimal points, but the number of decimals isn't even the same for PLN and EUR.  Also there's no longer a 24 hour volume or a last trade date in the api.

Thanks!
