Topic: BitcoinAverage.com - bitcoin price index - page 4. (Read 70036 times)
It was down for a bit when I first saw your message (and then I worried for a moment too). But it seems to be back up and working now so I'd assume they were just down momentarily for maintenance/upgrades/etc.
Thank you for your response regarding CAVIRTEX. Hope it's added soon.
Finally found your thread. I must say that your page is great. I am using your API for getting current price. It looks like that (if you want to know how much is 10$ in BTC): 
I also upload it on github, so everyone can use it: https://github.com/amacar/generateBitcoinPriceImage

That's pretty cool. Two follow up questions:
1) In the github you linked to, I couldn't find any code, only a readme and the font files and a link to a php program. Are you not releasing that php program as well?
2) Are you using imagemagick to write the image?
1) In the folder generateImage (with the fonts) is file index.php with code.
2) No I am not using imagemagick, because usually it is not supported on freehosting (I am running this script on freehosting - http://www.000webhost.com/)
Aha, I see it now. I guess I had overlooked it amongst those ttf files. Interesting that php has built-in image generation methods (I didn't notice you using a library).
Code:
imagefill($im, 0, 0, $bg);
imagesavealpha($im,true);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 12+$bbox[2]-$bbox[0], $size+2, $bg);
imagettftext($im, $size, 0, 10, $size+1, $black, $font, $text);
imagepng($im);
imagesavealpha($im,true);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 12+$bbox[2]-$bbox[0], $size+2, $bg);
imagettftext($im, $size, 0, 10, $size+1, $black, $font, $text);
imagepng($im);
I hadn't realized that php had such graphic manipulation capabilities---then again, I usually only use php when I'm editing someone else's code, I never really start a project in php.

Thanks for sharing here that the site has been fixed and running again.
I guess this is sarcastic. But indeed is is good to see that there's no problem with bitcoinaverage. I use it as the price tracker in my wallets.
Hi tspacepilot, just wanted to say thanks for the consistent kind words. We would have loved to progress the project much further over the years, but due to lack of funds this isn't possible. I guess this is the nature of open source and providing a completely free service!
On that note though, if anyone is interested in a role and highly experienced in python please do contact us, we have approx. 80% of an overhaul complete.
Just a headsup that cavirtex has been operational and remains operational after a buy-out
Noticed it was on the ignored list

It would double - triple the CAD volume.

Its Hours Later and the price does seem to be stuck....is there an update going on? down time?
Hi the design look pretty good , from what exchanges did you get the price , just from
Bitstamp ?? why then Average , Please explain more about the idea of this site .

It's "average" because they compute an average price with weighted components basedon the volume of trading at the various exchanges. It's right there in the FAQ of the site. Or in the OP of this thread. Just read a little. It's a great service with an open API.

Anyone knows why this site is stuck at $236.99? I hope this site stays running. In my opinion its one of the best.
Now it says (for USD) 237.34. So I guess I don't thinki it's actually stuck. I agree with you about this being one of the best for bitcoin price. I use it in my wallet as well.

The website has listed okcoin as ignored because of a 0% fee model, but it isn't ignored at all, it is currently listed as the number 2 usd exchange, at 24% of volume. What's up with that?
I love this project but unfortunately I've used them less now that google has a btc price tracker on its currency listings (I think they use coinbase). I need to try to remember to use this site instead because I like what they've done here.
