2 things for your charts which i like better on mtgoxlive:

1.  once again, total USD's to reach a certain price
2.  the flashing of the trades going off in the top right of the chart.

you said what I thought

http://www.btccharts.com/ are back online


I guess everyone started smashing F5 button today because there was no live data, so bandwidth jumped like 400%.
I was sleeping in that time, and my free quota was out of daily limit. Now I've moved to billable mode so such situations don't have place in the future.


If you see that there's no data for more let's say 300 seconds, and refresh don't fix stuff - send request to MtGox
Btccharts are very popular and maybe because of that their socket api is going down. But it's in their interest to keep this up and going, because when there's no data - there's no trading. So I hope this problems will be solved in a short time.


Expect new stuff to the end of this week.

For most of this morning MtGox socketio was down.  Your site would load the history and current price on a refresh, and it would say it's connected in the upper left corner, but it was not really connected.  Every time I refreshed the page I got new data.  So I refreshed once every 10 minutes.  I'm sure other people learned this trick and then that cascaded into maxing your b/w.  Now that socketio is back up it shouldn't be a problem.

Edit: and just as I wrote that socketio on gox went down again due to volume.  Grrr.

Exactly. I'm also refreshing like crazy in such situations so I have no problem when others do that


Required BTC/USD to target price is back.

get rid of the mouse instruction pop up.  i keep a small version of your chart open and the popup window blocks much of the data.

[cypherdoc]

ok, which chart is keeping up with the action better; mtgoxlive or btccharts?

btccharts is great right now... you need to be watching it right now man

i am.  i usually keep both up but they seem to alternate which is responding to gox faster.

why don't you center the last price in the middle of the chart at the bottom?

[cypherdoc]

here's a tip:  list the daily % change in price from the previous day.  no other charting service has the decency to do this.  this is a basic data point that EVERYONE will want to see.  especially when we're getting huge gains right now.

No, no no, it's fine where it is!  There's nothing in the way of it there.  It could stand to be a larger size font though IMO

I think bitcoincharts.com does that.  But yeah I'd like to see that too.

when its not centered, you don't get a good symmetric idea of the relative size of the bid and ask mountains as they fan out from  the price.

Oh, I see; I misunderstood, I thought you were referring to the big-font price up at the top in the center.

[StewartJ]

If you could make that final price font twice as big, that would be great.

I wish I could send you donations.

New features:
 - big current price can be resized (see settings)
 - trade % change, time range (rollover to trade, press mouse, hold, move to other trade)
 - bigger font (12px to 14px)
 - instructions popup - you can turn this off in settings

Price position - currently this is determined by data from MtGox. In future you will be able to set $ bid/ask range manually.

Live data - MtGox socket api can't handle so many connections at this moment. Since it's quite essential and there's no official response on this case from MtGox I've decided to create some kind of sockets replacement by myself. This will take couple days to write.

Donations - the best donation is your feedback (feature request, bug report etc )

[bzzard]

This looks like MtGox hear the voice of people and added more power!
Anyway - socketio is very strong last hour and you can see this by increased move.

Thank you MtGox!

Bad thing they don't have anyone here to talk. But maybe it's better, such "silent PR"?

Looks like there's bug:

Bids should be asks and asks-bids. But it depends how you interpret it.
I will leave this until next update. Maybe it should be sell/buy?

I'm currently in middle of the work on some kind of "rebroadcasting" system and it will take next couple days.
There's chance you will get live data from all exchanges no matter if they have any sockets API.


I'm thinking how to show volume, I have some ideas, but maybe you guys have some proposals, examples?
