I used the calculator again today.  I really appreciate it and the convenience.  This is so much better than years ago when people would just quote the mt. gox price as if it was the golden truth.

Very true, we're already approaching our first birthday, how time does fly!

Why are some 0% trading fee sites in China ignored, but BTCChina isn't?
Doesn't it also have 0% trading fee?

Thank you for that comprehensive answer, BitcoinAverage!
I figured as much, because if BTCChina were ignored, the Chinese volume would be shown to be the complete, fake, bogus-bot show that it is.

I like and appreciate your site, but you are participating in fraudulent data relay, which is costing people money somewhere...

Nice!

I also notice that google recently added a btc price to it's currency conversion service.  Do you know if they're using your api or calculating it some other way?

Hi BitcoinAverage,

I just finished my application, you can look closer on it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=709552.new#new

I just wondering, why requested API data is different from that what I see live on website.

Thanks for free API.

Bitstamp has been marked as "unreachable since 25 Jul, 11:22 UTC" and ignored, but the Bitstamp API appears to be working just fine.

Bitcoinaverage ARE U FCN kidding me ?

Bitcoinaverage ARE U FCN kidding me ?

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.

Hi,

Bitstamp, Coinfloor and Kapiton are protected by Incapsula, our hosting provider has had a range blocked by them and they are working to resolve this. We've been contacted the these exchanges directly also and our suggestion is for them to raise a ticket with Incapsula to help speed things along.

Yet another time Incapsula have caused us issues!

Too bad, not that coinbase is bad, but bitcoinaverage seems like a better option for an overall view.  How did you figure out they were using coinbase?

Thanks!

Another question: I saw that btc price on bitcoinaverage went all the way to 0 for one moment yesterday.  Does anyone know what that's about?
