Now this is big! Mainstream we are here!

Agreed ... huge!

Now one thing is needed.  Accurate quotes.  It does show "accumulating data" though.

And the symbol is bad.  It shouldn't be "MTGOXUSD :", it should be maybe MTGOXBTC  ?    (as it is the spot price of a BTC expressed in dollars).    Just like AAPL :NASDAQ is a share of that stock expressed in dollars.

It is too bad there isn't an ETF up and running they could quote.

Does it update correctly? Bitcoinity shows a completely different value.

lol, I blame the alcohol.

It seems to be a work in progress then. In a few days it'll probably work as expected.

How cute.


It seems it's not working, though.

All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

Sorry, but this is so big, I'm suspicious. 

I don't see how this could be faked. Any ideas?

Well, that's the format for the exchange.  e.g.,   (AAPL :NASDAQ).    But MTGOXUSD has no exchange so it is blank  (MTGOXUSD Smiley

Then clearly it should be (BITCOINUSD :MTGOX) right?

The problem is BTC-e and BitStamp have their own books. Gox has the API (for whatever that's worth) for CNBC to get a direct real-time price that the market is moved by.

Can't wait til this stuff is scrolling on my TV screen and goes blank when Gox goes offline. They are in no way, shape, or form prepared for this.

So really, we just need someone to aggregate the data from all exchanges into an API-like format for places like CNBC to grab.

I see a lot of outlets starting to use bitcoincharts.com, but if CNBC is looking I can create an easily to use way to grab the data.
Just go ahead and do it. I really doubt CNBC will respond in any way, but if it's availible and made public it's very possible they might just go ahead and use it. It would also make it easier for other news outlets to put up a ticker.

If you do it you might want to consider giving away control over it to the Bitcoin Foundation. It would make it seem more official.

Is there any information on what exact api format CNBC and others are expecting?
