Hi, Sal002
Your JSON API is just what I was looking for!
I plan to implement miner profitability grouping in the next version of my Bitcoin Miners in Tray GUI and was looking for a convenient place to read profitability info from. I came across you site in a round-about way through dustcoin's thread Smiley
Could you, please, tell me what is the difference between "ratio" and "adjustedratio" in the JSON object?
I'll send you a donation once I have implemented miner profitability grouping in my program.

BTW - I do realize it and put a lot of effort into this free service to make it stable.  I have to rely on other services to a degree to keep my costs down, and I apologize for that.  However, please realize that this is free and will continue to be free.  I have no staff and no support.  I wish I could have all of that, but that would mean charging, which I never plan on doing.  While I understand your frustration, statements like this make me regret even doing this site.

Well, I surely appreciate your website. Thanks for the good work.

Thanks


Done as to the first part - looking into the second.

You need to realize that when you randomly remove coins from your chart it impacts other services.  When you provide an API that many have come to rely on, it needs to be stable.

No - it is automatic when the public block explorer associated with the coin goes down.  It is down (see http://blockexplorer.coinworld.us:7750/chain/MegaCoin/q/getblockcount).  Is there another public blockexplorer?

I don't know. I wonder if coinwarz is reporting cached info.

They might be reporting from the daemon directly.

Megacoin still not listed. Any word on that?
Is there a news/twitter feed for announcements or is this thread the place to keep an eye on?

May take a few minutes, but Megacoin numbers are now back.

Where did Digitalcoin go?  Nothing wrong with the coin, but it disappeared from your site.

You need to realize that when you randomly remove coins from your chart it impacts other services.  When you provide an API that many have come to rely on, it needs to be stable.

EDIT: I realize this may be because Crypto Coin Explorer's DGC explorer is down, but it would be handy if your API / website cached the last "good" data for a coin and included a note/flag that it was not up to date. I've come to rely heavily on your API and when a coin disappears it can really throw things off balance.

Well, I used to cache the last balance (actually still do), BUT the issue became that my numbers would instantly become incorrect when the BE is down and people would complain about hat.  So it is a balance of keeping up wrong numbers or stop reporting.  I'd think that it is better to not report an erroneous number.  I may have the API have an option to report cached, if that helps as it is a minor code change to keep old data. 

That being said, I am working in some redundancy with the blockchain explorers - as the other services know - still a bit hard to work in network redundancy when costs are all mine Smiley

Everything should be back up. I had to bring one of the CCE VPS down to do some server maintenance.

I waited until late-night on a weekend to cause as little disruption as possible, but maintenance still needs to get done.

I hate to see what happens when I need to bring server 1 down. Server 1 is the larger in terms of coins (10)  Cheesy

What happened to Devcoin? It disappeared from the list.

Could be blockexplorer is down or market dried up.  Likely the former.
