Would any gekko users be interested in a data service for gekko?

I built a candle aggregator that watches any market across several exchanges and have successfully integrated my candle api into gekko. This allows me to get gekko running on a market without gekko watching the market (Gekko gets all the data it needs on startup no more waiting x amount of hours before starts advising ), it also allows me to back test markets very easily. A other advantage to this is not relying on gekko to create its candles based on the trades it fetches since i have seen this to be very problematic instead it fetches candles from a central api server. I still have some work to do before i can publish the candle fetcher component for gekko. I plan on storing up to 6 months of trade data for now per market. New markets are auto discovered and marked as "NEW" and a new exchanges.js is generated and available for download every time we find a new market (this can be done programmatically so you don't have to replace the exchanges.js file every time).

Pricing model :

Request per Day    Limit    Costs  
10  300   Free
1,440  50,000   0.1 BTC
5,000  150,000   0.2 BTC
15,000  1,500,000   0.5 BTC
30,000  5,000,000   1 BTC


So here is the big question, How many of you would use or pay for this type of service ?
