It's sort of getting updated...

0 volume.

Trade Time = 9:53:00 AM (at least 30 minutes behind).

No chart available.

Come on CNBC... get it together!

So really, we just need someone to aggregate the data from all exchanges into an API-like format for places like CNBC to grab.
It has long existed at BitcoinCharts! Even the weighted USD price exists there!

That's what all of us would be better-off using, instead of constantly quoting and dealing on the bogus gox rate!

Instead, the weighted USD price isn't even shown on the Home page of BitcoinCharts itself! It's like we are all taking gox stupid pills here!  Cheesy

I suspect they will update it whenever bitcoins goes back below 75.51$ (if it ever does)

What do you actually mean?


I mean that I suspect they are happy showing a 39% crash but would be reluctant to show any increase.

That's great, but I'm looking forward to see them actually update their data, because I've never seen anything but



on this page.

They were even kind enough to add a smilie face for us!

Code:
(MTGOXUSD :)

Well, that's the format for the exchange.  e.g.,   (AAPL :NASDAQ).    But MTGOXUSD has no exchange so it is blank  (MTGOXUSD Smiley

Then clearly it should be (BITCOINUSD :MTGOX) right?

The problem is BTC-e and BitStamp have their own books. Gox has the API (for whatever that's worth) for CNBC to get a direct real-time price that the market is moved by.

Can't wait til this stuff is scrolling on my TV screen and goes blank when Gox goes offline. They are in no way, shape, or form prepared for this.
So really, we just need someone to aggregate the data from all exchanges into an API-like format for places like CNBC to grab.

Is there any information on what exact api format CNBC and others are expecting?

I see a lot of outlets starting to use bitcoincharts.com, but if CNBC is looking I can create an easily to use way to grab the data.
Just go ahead and do it. I really doubt CNBC will respond in any way, but if it's availible and made public it's very possible they might just go ahead and use it. It would also make it easier for other news outlets to put up a ticker.

If you do it you might want to consider giving away control over it to the Bitcoin Foundation. It would make it seem more official.

Sorry, but this is so big, I'm suspicious. 

I don't see how this could be faked. Any ideas?
