They're listing it as 12.5 cents because of how their automatic heuristic search engine is processing it, not because of an outdated price check.

Bit = an eighth of something, a la 8 bits to a byte.

12.5 cents = an eighth of a dollar.

Very cool regardless, hope to see it working soon.

That might the case,  but in reality does it matter?  Listing it at 12 cents is just not accurate.

Considering that wolframalpha is listing bitcoin at 12 cents (that's what they have listed as the spot price?) 

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bitcoin

I contacted them regarding it,  they said they are working to integrate the weighted spot price of http://www.ounce.me as their spot price...  I made a difference!  Whoo hoo!

They said it will take a few weeks to integrate it...  seriously I felt I made a difference today!


You did make a difference... Wolframalpha is in the top 9000 sites visited in the world. You did good.
