I like it, there's a lot of links and it's VERY clean looking.

How did you get the name "Bitcoin 21"?

This thread should be posted in Service Announcements instead of here. Anyway, I like that you actually have a simple design. Maybe underline the link when we hover? So we will know it is a link. Rather than looking at the mouse..

So sad! This profile does not appear as the #1 result (on anonymous) Google searches anymore.

Time to be active on the crypto forums again? Proud to be one of the few Legendary members of the Sparkie Red Dot!

Gonna put this on my resume if I ever join a cryptocurrency/blockchain industry!

Great! It look better now! You use PHP to fetch the content right?

correct, php fetched content is cached for performance (and using cloudflare, so it could be used by a kazillion users), i will increase frequency of cache now to each 10 min for frequently updating sources

Looks good, I wonder if you could cut the number of links down seems a bit too much for me, prioritise bigger stories. Maybe have a most popular/trending section.

Ok, limited to max 12 per source, prioritisation is dependent on source.
Will think on how to make a nice popular / trending section..

1 BTC = $ 290.29 (+0.74% in 24 hours)

OK, how about this: 1 BTC = $290.60 (285-299) where 285 is 24h low and 299 is 24h high, see http://bitcoin21.info/

You should probably ask the admins of the websites permission before scraping stuff from there, they might nt want it(or the may want it). Either way, on the front end, you need to make it better, because I feel the website is just too simple. Try to add some unique content, because using these feeds will not give you any optimisation for SEO.

I like the concept, but I agree; if you could find a way to prioritize the stories, it would help focus attention. 

Keep up the good work!

thanks for positive feedback Smiley

new feature added: generate mobile friendly links, see http://bitcoin21.info/?d=m
target pages (after clicking a link on this 'special mobile' website) are now very well readable on smartphones with small screens

scraping no problem, I use RSS feeds which are public and used to generate traffic,
it's just a simple rss overview site, no ambitions to add new content,

You might want to disable error display on the live system. I've seen sites that actually display usernames and passwords for mysql-database this way.. Also, there's always the danger of feeds becoming unavailable when working with a 3rd party, so you might try to check for this in the code, so there's a proper message in cases where third party info is not available.

it would better if you add date and time, also coloring red the hot news ?  

PS: reddit link doesnt work ---> This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
