https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=527So you all know, one thing we are noticing is that we keep losing the connection to the MTGox source data feed about every 20 minutes, however we automatically reconnect. This past hour we also noticed 2 interruptions lasting 3 minutes.
We see that the MTGox data feed is not entirely reliable and also from an engineering perspective, its technical implementation really is very confusing and not well structured. They are using what is called a web socket and then on top of that Socket I/O . This is unnecessary and the method by which this is implemented is not technically correct. So we are not very impressed with the MTGox data feed. This is just a comment.
They also do not provide an efficient data feed. However, this is not of much significance for us.
Aside from all this, we are going to do the very best we can to provide a reliable Bitcoin data feed.
