Hi Dargo,

Can you clarify some points regarding the API?

1) What is the request/throttle limit before getting banned, if any? (e.g. 1 request per second)

2) Will you allow users to download all previous trade data with https://api.kraken.com/0/public/Trades? Many users have a need for bulk trade data, but this can cause undue load on API servers (hence MtGox's plan to provide a Google bigquery database), so if you don't want to support bulk data through this API method please consider an alternative way to access this data Smiley

3) Are there any plans to implement a socket API for realtime data?

Thanks, I look forward to your release Cheesy

Is there any word on Kraken release date?

/cet

We're waiting on a few things that could fall into place anytime now, but could also take a while longer, so it's hard to say anything definite about a launch date. Hang in there, we're doing everything we can to make it sooner than later.

I see - thanks for the clarification. We'll look into this. Clicking on the little chart also works for closing the chart, but you probably tried that. It may be that the little chart is broken as a button for open/close with iPad. Can you tell me what version of Safari you are running on your iPad and whether you have java script enabled?

I'm running mobile safari 5.1 for iOS 5.1, javascript enabled.

Thanks - I realize now the I knew the version you have from discussion of a different issue.

One thing I've noticed is that the history chart on the top bar is difficult to trigger into a drop down, and once you get the full size version then it's also difficult to tell it to go away.  I'd suggest you put a couple of buttons on the chart to make it more obvious how to interact with it. 

Thanks for the suggestion. I what sense is the chart difficult to trigger into a drop down? It should drop when you click on the little chart symbol. That seems easy, but maybe you just mean it's hard to know that clicking on the little chart will make a chart drop down. 


I was trying to play with the history chart using an ipad.  Each time I clicked on the chart it would adjust the position of the red line showing the closing price, high and low of the day but wouldn't change the size frome the little button to the large version.  Once the large version popped up then it woulnd't change back to the small version.  I didn't haven any problem when I was using the regular pc version.

its good that you try to solve the problems before the official start , others do the opposite way  Wink

I'd also suggest that you do a proto type of the interface to supply required identity documentation and test that out before going live.

/cet

The interface will be tested carefully before launch. If you're suggesting we test it out with actual users in beta before launch, we might do something like that but it's not certain. It's hard to just test it out with users if the users are providing real info/documents - in that case we're doing it for real anyway.

stop flooding people, back to topic


any date for the launch in sight?

We don't have a date, but the "to do before launch" list is getting pretty short.  Smiley

But some of the things on the list are hard to get an ETA for, so it's hard to be specific.

Will there be an active market-making or orderbook will be filled by users only (low liquidity).
if they dont link to mtgox the trading will be pretty much dead

mtgox itself is pretty much dead. at least declining like hell.

kraken can link to bitstamp like bitfinex does

let me ask something allready asked but not realy clarified:


the demo uses MtGox market data right? once launched Kraken will be it's own and only market?

Yes, in beta mode, our order book derives from Gox's order book (it's similar, but not exactly of course). Once we launch, Kraken will be it's own market.
