Yes, it is sad how some glee from failures. I will keep on working, crash or not, because I like what I do.

Agreed. We should not make such assumptions, because the number of exchanges is still quite low. But you would be surprised to know how many samples we have at any moment!

All I could see on this website were the tweets and things I don't really care about. We seem to have very different goals. But after talking, I'm curious to see what kind of market data they have. I asked for a small sample. I am

I would argue that in this case, the big change from 1.9 to 9.0 would catch your attention even more than the change in exponent. But by the same login, I agree with you: .9eX and 9.0eY with |X - Y| = 1 may cause too much focus on what is a

Piggy backing rubs the wrong way, but sometimes there is interesting content. Personally, I would challenge the piggybacker to show me something. Talk is cheap.

No wrong question :-) Please get in touch by email if you need something special. If you have hard constraints, we can provide you with a special API returning only the value(s) you need so you do not even have to parse anything.

We plan to remain online for a long long time And if you make embedded devices using our API, maybe you need more than the free API? We sell access based on subscription for 0.1 BCH per month. Or maybe you need our 'special services&#x

I am indeed bullish on crypto, but the decision is driven by facts, not by passion. The fact is the price range vary too much, even in the same scale (say BTC/USD vs XRP/USD), so we decided to have 5 characters for every price. Th

Marketcap is totally overblown, I agree! We talk a bit about it in our FAQ. And I'm sorry, I assumed I needed a login on your site because I just couldn't find a way to quickly send a query. Most sites hide they API behind a login

We already have that data. We don't show it because we want to filter out bad data!! Let's take an example: illiquid coins, like for new forks. Look at the prices quoted on every exchange: you will often see huge differences. Beca

Huh, thanks? But that's a bit different from what we are doing. We concentrate on hard numbers and privacy. You seem to focus on news and community. And it seems to me your API requires a login. Also, your homepage looks nice, but I d

We could fix that, but I kinda like TOR. Keeping it in all caps (like when it was just an acronym) puts it forward. We want to emphasize our support of privacy.

People have their reasons, we respect that. But a default to https, why not? It seems reasonable to me. I am not sure on how to get https:// by default while still supporting http:// for people who prefer it. It may

Not sure. Check http://cryptomarketplot.com/accessible-index.html : the numbers are also aligned, and in less space that it would take if 5.744e-5 was to have all its leading zeroes.

Thanks! So generally the same things we currently already have. Don't they have full market book data? We are wondering if we should do that. It could be a separate subscription plan if there is enough interest. We are prioritizing in

They want a login before even giving a key. Can you summarize their features? What data do they show? We offer real-time data to clients. Real time is hard to beat.

1996 is rate limited on the replies, so I'll answer: Until it brings in more money than it costs to make, it is a hobby. I hope we grow and replace coinmarketcap. But that will take hard work, and lots of luck. We have algorithms to s

We have many values, but if we think they may mislead people, we don't show them. It is our ethics. We do not want to do what everyone does. We will show more coins when we think we can show non misleading data. It's a question of

Yes for BTC, then for something 10x that 34.36 start looking not as good. We could make an option for people who prefer regular numbers. I will add that to the feature requests.

Non linear X axis is a new method we introduce. We call it the "hour day week month" view, or the log timeline, because it is a bit like a log-plot: log data of time on the X axis. It was made to quickly answer many questions that

We are split on that. We would like to offer historical API to paying customers. We have a lot of data. But we want to retain customers. We do not want them to leave after dumping our data. At keep keep paying us :-) So we came to the concl
