One thing I don't understand though. The difficulty is always far lower than the website difficulty for new coins, and it looks like it takes a while (even a few hours) to adjust to the correct level. Why not just start with the exact number from the blockexplorer?
Also, I notice that on some explorers, where there is no value for the coin, CoinUpdater will overwrite any manual entries with zero.
For example, my mktcoin entry:
{CoinFullName: "Mktcoin", CoinShortName: "MLM", Algo: "X17", BlockReward: 2500, BlockTime: 360, BlockExplorer: "
https://info.mktcoin.org/ext/summary", BlockExplorerType: "Iquidus"}
Whats odd is this coin is actually traded on southxchange, but I get the error "can't find price" for MLM
Thanks!
It is always the exact number straight from the block explorer. Those numbers can vary
within just a few minutes. I take the average as they're read in.
Yes, it will always overwrite any manually entered coins that you also have listed in this program.
It's possible the MLM API isn't working on their end but I'll add it to a bug list.
