Just a detail, now the data sent to the function is no longer a string with some json inside, but an object (it didn't make much sense to just send strings).

I didn't expect you'd have this implemented already, if you can just comment out the JSON.parse that'll fix everything.

Actually I was!

I was just sitting here developing and I saw the messages change from strings to JSON!

It looks like there is a bug where the "Last" price in the ticker has been scaled down by a factor of 1000:

Thanks for the spot. I've just launched the fix.

You should check out the site once again, as there is a new WebSocket interface provided through socket.io.

With the recent upgrade to socket.io, the MtGox data is now available in Chrome again, as well as other browsers that lacked previous support.

Thanks to MagicalTux for moving on this!

Awesome!

I've completed the transition of bitcoin.clarkmoody.com to the new socket.io interface.

Thanks for working on this! It will be nice to see more browsers able to use the live quote services!

If this is the one and only Clark Moody you are the god among men... at least for bitcoin charts.

Thank you, but please don't go that far!

Look on the merchants list (on the wiki).

I heard of some New York deli that accepted them a while back.

Clearly we have a bunch of web developers and not enough web designers.

it's not just Gox .. it's everyone... we run a bunch (as a whole) of sites that all have the refined look and feel of Drudge Report... yea it works.. but it's not even close to sexy.

Lucky for you, I'm both a developer and a designer Wink

My soon-to-launch project is going to look very nice and provide great functionality.

Whats the title?

The History of Banks. You can read it online at Google Books or archive.org.

I just checked out a library book on the history of banks, published in 1837. It should be a very nice read.

It looks like the WebSocket is back online, but Chrome support is still missing.

I couple of days ago this page stopped working http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/time-sales/#

Where can i get the same information?

The page still works, it's just that MtGox has stopped providing the real time data feed over WebSockets.

While it doesn't show trades, you could check out the multi-currency ticker at http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/ticker/

I am a long time user of Clark Moody's site. I'm a day trader and looking for something that is working now. I know MtGox is having issues with websockets but wanted to know if there is something else out there that shows depth, orderbook and history.

So, what are you guys using?

Yeah it really hurts to depend on someone else for your data, when the data dries up...

I'm working on a serious upgrade to my services at the moment, which will allow me to run my own WebSocket server.

This sounds good to me, especially as a source for press releases and public relations. The amount of misinformation and lazy reporting out there is hurting the reputation of Bitcoin.

I also agree with the point made about 'competing' representative entities.

I have launched a bit of updated code to fix a bug.

Also, I fixed that typo in the image above...

Socket Closed.

It looks like MtGox has taken the socket down for the last 8 hours or so.

For something a little different, you could try http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/ticker/

hmm ... not so much ...

Right. MtGox is slacking on support for Chrome & Firefox (it uses an unsupported version of the WebSocket protocol).

It works in Opera though.

I have launched a new service that gives the tickers for all MtGox currencies and computes a synthetic Forex grid based on those tickers.

http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/ticker/

The Forex grid lists the exchange rate between currencies based on buying Bitcoin with the "column" currency at the Ask and immediately selling those Bitcoin at the Bid for the "row" currency. The grid lists only those currency pairs with non-zero volume as listed on the ticker.

Since the MtGox WebSocket broadcasts ticker & depth messages for USD only (at this point), this tool is polling-based. The update rate is every 60 seconds, and the cells will change colors based on changes in the value.
