Any chance of making the site a bit more iPad friendly?
The Donate, date: Mtgox, Help & Feedback and so on is floading in the middle of the screen

Just wanted to drop by to let you know how much I appreciate what you have built here. It is truly one of the most helpful trading tools in the bitcoin world, I cannot wait to see how your trading platform you mentioned that you are currently developing turns out. Another plus, your website actually works reliably on my Android phone, which is something that cannot be said about MtGoxlive. I'll be sure to send you a small donation to express my gratitude for your continued work once I get my trading in order.

Thank you very much. I think the trading platform will be a welcome addition to the Bitcoin exchange economy.

The system seems to not remove order book info at times and during large buys or sells it misses a lot of trades.  Can anything be done about this?

I like the site.

Suggestion: have a link that would let users hide the bid/ask orders that are smaller than a certain size.   Maybe links to hide < 1 BTC and < 10 BTC.  This would remove a lot of the clutter in the bids/asks.

ummmmmm

you probably meant to say: "try the 'group by' option to remove clutter", but something got into your throat?

If you watch, the book will correct itself after the next ticker message comes in - it eliminates any bids higher (asks lower) than those given in the ticker message.

Right, i get that part but im talking the depth, every 30-1hr i have to refresh the site to get real depth numbers and sums.

I describe this phenomenon here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60132.msg702035#msg702035

I've got an update that I think some people will like:

The site now displays information from any currency MtGox supports.



And as a bonus, when you change currencies, the site doesn't have to reload from scratch!

Perfect! Thank you

Clark, can you please implement local time support (timezone)?

Clark, can you please implement local time support (timezone)?

The console at the bottom outputs in local time. The chart and T&S are in server time.

[brox]

And thats what I'm asking to implement - why user should know server times or where the server is located?

A fresh refresh of the page is showing me order history and current order book state; but after that... no updates.  The "Time & sales" never change and the order book doesn't alter.  There are no errors in the console (it simply sticks at "connected").

Is this a Mt.Gox thing; has their API given up the ghost again?  Bitcoinica seems to be showing live data okay.

It has been doing this recently for some reason. There will be periods of "Connected" with no data. I really can't explain it, except to say that there is some malfunction with the socket.io stuff. My code didn't change.

I am working on a long-term solution for robust streaming data, but it will not be ready any time soon (I don't think).

If it's any consolation, Mt.Gox live seems to suffer the same fault.

[realnowhereman]

I put in a little effort and wrote a basic socket.io test page of my own.

That was connecting but then going completely silent too.  Today; with no change to my code it's working.  As is, of course, bitcoin.clarkmoody.com.

The only conclusion I can come to is that this is a fault at Mt.Gox's end.  Which is pretty appalling.  The disconnect from data was pretty much all day yesterday; so we're not talking a drop out during stressful times (which shouldn't happen anyway).

[realnowhereman]

Gone again.  Is this happening to everyone else?

More investigation with my test app shows that the 'connect' response is being received from socketio, but the subscription requests are completely ignored.  No 'subscribe' response ever gets returned.

I thought it might be something to do with my IP?  That Mt.Gox was blocking my connection; but I routed packets via both home and work internet connections and the result is the same.

Unfortunately, the connection has been spotty for a couple days. This is especially disturbing during the days following the TradeHill announcement -- it would be nice to see how the markets are responding to it in real time.

very nice work, just sent small smackeral (donation) your way.
