Ok I am a complete newbie and by that I mean I have a basic understanding of BiTCoin and I am a Fan of the MtGox Chart with Sierra Chart Sotware.

BUT with MTGox soon to be out of the Picture atleast for me, is there a Chart for other Trade Services like TradeHill or bitcoin7?
do these have to be specificialy build or are their some Template how to build these?

thx in advance

Yes, current version (0.2) supports all markets quoted on bitcoincharts.com. However it is done by polling, websocket interface is working only for mtgox.

Howto:
1. Pick market name on bitcoincharts.com (for example: thUSD for tradehill USD)
2. start bridge with parameter "-s <market name>", for example "sierrachartfeed.exe -s thUSD"

At the moment it isnt working, price is stuck at 14.76$ since hours for thill while last trade reported at thill website is 14.36 3 minutes ago. i think the problem is related to bitcoincharts.com, it is not updating the chart http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/thUSD.html
too bad!

Slush, i report often this error:

why?

Hm, unstable connection?

[Enky1974]

It didnt happen with mtgox, i report that error with thill and also bitomatPLN, perhaps because these exchanges arent using websocket for data feed?

Yes, bridge is using websocket for mtgox and bitcoincharts polling for the rest. This error is definitely related to some network troubles, but I should make better exception handling to not crash whole bridge when it happen.

Nice work!

Noone suggested this already, so: Assembla is great, they offer svn/hg/git, private and public repos.

2. Download SierraChart feed for MtGox market.

Just curious, I've not used SierraChart before - is there a reason this feed is distributed as an executable file?  After Goxgate and new bitcoin malware in the wild I'm sure we're all on high alert about running executable code claiming to be bitcoin related. (not that I believe this file is malicious, just sayin)

is there no way to configure sierrachart for bitcoin feeds without running this executable?

Yes, it is targeted to end users on Windows - they probably don't want to install any dependencies, just download & run.

Yes, read top post, sources are available. However, you have to install python for using this.

Has anyone tried to use Quotetracker to track BTC markets.  I think development has stopped, but it seems easy to write plugins and the functionality is really quite amazing.
and its FREEE.

It seems the bridge does not seem to work anymore after the reopening of MtGox  ...
