Yes! I'd like to see that log scale too, if it looks like a straight diagonal line, we are in-the-money!

There is now a switch on the bottom of the chart, not very pretty i know but the functionality is done:

I dont know if you already do this but just to prevent api or exchange errors I would discard any exchange rate that is 30% up or 30% lower that the other ones.

For example:
Bitcoinaverage pulls Bitstamp, Kraken and BTC-e api, result
Bitstamp: 100$
Kraken: 105$
BTC-E: 10284$ (sounds like an error here)

As BTC-E rate is more than 30% up compared to the other exchanges it is automatically discarded from the average.


Also checking if the exchange rate is more than 10$ can avoid showing 0$ when some api is down.


Thanks for BitcoinAverage

Bitcoin.de should be top priority

Hi, what exactly is wrong with bitcoin.de? We've had it integrated for a very long time now:

Bitcoin.de**    20.47%    601.29    378.02 EUR

Ignore the  **, we've just improved the backend and need to make a frontend change

We've posted on reddit, twitter and here regarding this. The issue with 0% fee exchange models has been very well discussed.

Yes we do need a solution for this, and welcome any suggestions.

Note: Email us with any specific queries, we are far less likely to spot threads on here

Hey, this post makes very little sense, can you please email us with some screenshots if you're having some specific issue?: bitcoinaverage@gmail.com

The prices and actions no longer give ANY accurate picture of the value and price of bitcoin - why SHOULD their pricing be factored into any sort of average?

I'd love to be able to see volume as measured is USD instead of BTC. As the price rises I expect the trading volume to go down measured in BTC. But to see how much USD is moving around would be cool!

I created a small bitcoin price ticker script with PHP any of you can use and manipulate the way you want. It's pulling data from Bitstamp and blockchain. Feel free to use, make better and share. You can find the script here: http://www.bitcoinvalues.net/bitcoin-forum?vasthtmlaction=viewtopic&t=11.0

I don't understand this comment.  Who does "their" refer to?  If the price of bitcoin doesn't give any picture of its value, then what would?  I'm confused.

I thought they were referring to bitcoin.de, which is why i was wondering if i'd missed some event in the last few months that means their data isn't any good?

I guess we just have to wait and see if they write back to clarify.  As far as I know, bitcoin.de is still a reasonable exchange, however, I'm not an expert.

Why is bitstamp removed from the index? I have noticed this for a week now. It seems it does not come back anymore? Anyone knows more on this?

[Ibian]

Also wondering about stamp. I noticed they were on the site earlier but their price was not being updated, and now gone entirely. 'sup?

Today I have asked this at their support email address (bitcoinaverage@gmail.com). I hope we got an update on this issue soon!

[MykelSilver]

Got their answer on this!

MykelSilver,

It seems we cannot reach everyone, we've replied to many emails and reddit posts etc, we also tweeted on this.

Bitstamp are blocking requests from our server, staff have informed me that its incapsula that they need to speak with, yet its been 2 days now and we're still being returned $566 by their ticker.

Even locally i cannot access their ticker now. There really is nothing we can do, i urge any user of bitcoinaverage to raise their own ticket at bitstamp to help push the issue through

Regards

Hi, firstly its only been for 2 days since they were under DDOS and our IP was wrongly banned by incapsula

Their API is returning us a message from incapsula, "Request unsuccessful. Incapsula incident ID: xxx". Initially for over 24hours they returned us outdated data instead.

I receive the same intermittently when requesting locally and from 4 other servers, we cannot integrate them when they return 200's and old data, if it was a clear 'no data here' then it would be ok, but their old data distorts the average.

Feel free to raise your own ticket at bitstamp to help push this through, 2 days is just not good enough.
