Sal002, LTC is gone again. What about that presentation of stale data, so that coins don't disappear of the charts and API? Wink

Still working on it - I have to be careful as I don't want to give the impression for any automated users that the stale data is accurate as it is most certainly wrong.

I understand. That would be a breaking change, that needs good documentation.

I coded around the issue for the time being in my Crypto Miners in Tray, using the old info if a coin suddenly disappears from your data set. However, the problem remains if you just start or re-start the program, in which case the profitability of a missing coin will be reported as 0.

infinitecoin has 30s blocks, and yet it's profitability is adjusted up. That is a big bug i believe.

Not a bug - wrong data (30 minute blocks not 30 second). Fixed.

Sorting doesn't seem to work quite right. Network hashrate for example, units (MHps,Ghps,etc) get ignored. Also, only one digit at a time is getting checked. So all the numbers starting with 1 show up, then 2 etc.

Very useful info nonetheless. Thanks!

Yeah - Network hash is an issue - if I standardize it all to one (MHps, for example), it works again. Not sure how else to address it using the Google Visualization Table.

I have a question.
Why not all coins from http://www.coinchoose.com/index.php are available on http://www.coinchoose.com/litecoin.php and vice versa?
For example the best coin in litecoin comparision chart is EzCoin which is not even listed on main page.

Usually because those coins on the Litecoin charts are one for which there is a direct exchange into LTC. If they are not on the BTC chart that means there is no direct exchange into BTC. Cryptsy's secondary market is only to LTC and not BTC, for example.

Hello, Great job with CoinChoose. I find it extremely useful.

Can I make one suggestion/request? When doing a history query, for the coins that are on multiple markets it's not always super simple to determine if the record is using the LTC or the BTC market. Would it be difficult for you to add an exchange type field in the record (i.e., a field with either BTC or LTC)?

Thanks,

Sure - do you mean the json.php request?

Yes, the json.php request. Thank You !!!

As an example of why this would be beneficial....here are two histories for BQC during the last hour:

{"currency":"BQC","profitability":"234.08428870675","time":"2013-08-13 13:10:02","price":"0.000025003333333333"}

{"currency":"BQC","profitability":"97.422862240985","time":"2013-08-13 13:10:02","price":"0.000914"},

both have the same time, and one is for the BTC market and the other for the LTC market. Obviously one could tell from the price which is which. But sometimes there are no trades on one of the markets during a period and then you only have one BQC record for that period. So instead of writing my own code to figure out which market the trade occurred on, it would be great if that field was already in the record.

Thanks again for your great site!

Kinda embarrassed I never put this change to jsondata.php when I added the LTC base

. It is added now!

would it be possible to add a button to take out the top result so we can see the history of the other coins?

eg with BTG hitting 53000% none of the other coins can be seen until its off the graph (and the coin toggle buttons no longer remove the coin)

Partially got this done - now just to save what was previously clicked (on the refresh).

working nicely now, thanks

It's block explorer is down so it is by design. I do not keep up a coin if the data is stale as that would easily skew the numbers.

To be clear - I do not really 'delist' a coin unless the coin's developers make it clear that I need to delist it. So far, I have delisted Powercoin and Doubloons. That is it - every other coin falters usually because the Block explorer is dead and I cannot get updated statistics. If a block explorer stays dead for a few days, I try to bring up a local daemon.

With respect to CGB, I was working on a few other things on the site yesterday (clicking the legend and a few backend tweaks) and did not have time to bring up the local daemon. I will work on it shortly.

Good to know. And thanks for the good work you do.

The WDC patch has altered the block size and time, so that should affect the stats on coinchoose. You should probably update that when you get a chance, as it will greatly reduce stales

What happened to CGB? Was it de-listed?

CGB is still not being listed. Is this a bug, or by design?
