Feature Request -

Allow me to choose which exchanges to include/exclude in the average. Store this as a cookie so every time I return my preferences are remembered.

Thanks!

Hi

We've considered this as an option in the very beginning, but discarded as conceptually wrong approach. The purpose of BitcoinAverage.com is to give one well grounded average market price everybody can refer to. Excluding mtgox was a hard decision and we came to a compromise here to allow exclude only mtgox and nothing else.
If we would give an option to include/exclude any exchanges - there would be no single reliable price, but a mix of multiple irrelevant prices. So we would not implement such a feature, and would remove the "exclude mtgox" button as long as the mtgox situation will solve itself.

If you really need to exclude some exchanges and you have programming skills - you can easily do required calculations using our volumes API. All data you would need for that available at http://api.bitcoinaverage.com/exchanges/all.

Regards
Alex at BitcoinAverage

I looks useful but you should add some features to simplify that.

Hi, thankyou for the feedback but could you explain a little further what you are referring to? What features would you like to see and what needs simplifying? Thanks!

For example you should change color of some number. If I visit you site, I don't know where to look first. What should I noticed first. Just bunch of number. Make there some key elements which attract visitors attention right after visiting site. Only then show them the rest.

Hmm, I partly agree and partly confused by your answer.
The agree part - yes, we might make the currently selected currency stand out more than others, so it would be little more obvious.
The confusion part - I really don't know what else could be done to attract more attention, as the prices are just in the middle of the page, biggest font. And after all I don't know what currency user is looking for when he comes to the site, so I can't show something first and then the rest - I don't know what should be "first".

Great site, thanks!

My apologies if this has been asked before, but would it be possible to have just ONE price across ALL currencies?
I believe a certain Magic the Gathering Card Exchange refer to ECB exchange rates for their internal conversions, found here http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/index.en.html, maybe you could do something similar?

Example:
Market 1 - Volume 10000, Price 150, currency USD
Market 2 - Volume 2000, Price 105, currency EUR
Exchange rate: 1 EUR = 1.32 USD

Real price in USD = ( V1 * P1 + V2 * P2*1.32 ) / (V1+V2) = 148.1
Real price in EUR = ( V1 * P1 / 1.32 + V2 * P2 ) / (V1+V2) = 112.2

I'm actually working on a similar script to this one, but it scrapes every exchange i know of for every altcoin that i know of. Great minds think alike!

As far as i'm aware we have most exchanges covered. We have received many emails from users with new exchanges that we have then added, and this will continue so that all newly formed exchanges/trade platforms are considered. As for altcoins it is something we are very aware of, however we took the active decision to focus solely on bitcoin for the time being.

I think you should add some other high-volume exchanges -- BTCChina for one.

Six high volume Chinese exchanges added, including BTCChina, forming a properly weighted CNY rate. We're looking to add two more once they would supply us with ticker APIs for integration.

to be honest, I think Mt Gox should be deleted. the value is worth nothing, for the time being.

As a temporary measure until situation around MTGox will solve itself we've added an option to exclude MTGox from USD/EUR/GBP calculations. This is also reflected in the API at http://api.bitcoinaverage.com/no-mtgox/.
