Hello all,
I have a trade bot that used to trade on the btce API. After the MtGox debacle I shut it down for a few months, and now that the vol is starting to pick up again I am hoping to dust off the old bot. Unfortunately, the part of my bot that connects to the btce api is breaking now, telling me that it can no longer find a valid certificate path ("PKIK path building failed"). I am not really sure how to fix this problem, but I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that BTCE changed its certificate recently (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/20ro3r/anyone_know_what_happened_with_btcecom_just_now/).  I tried to ask their technical support if this may have affected my ability to access the api and they said that they don't offer programming help and that they would not even discuss the certificate. Pretty sketchy I think. Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it? I have tried googling this but I'm not getting anywhere. I didn't have to do anything special with certificates before...

any thoughts? plz halp! If you can help I will send you a copy of my trade bot! It isn't my main strategy anymore anyways.

Thank you in advance for any help!
