Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
“Slip up”? With what, you retarded wannabe Sherlock Holmes? Ever since May, I have been quite openly making numerous statements that show a long, deep, and detailed knowledge of this forum. You only just noticed that now? 
Are you Jorge Stolfi?
In principle, I neither admit nor deny the allegation that I am Jorge Stolfi. No comment, save to note that it makes almost as much sense as the widespread rumour that I am Warren Buffet’s secret Bitcoin Forum account.
2 wrongs don't make a right.
But three lefts often do.
I hedge because there are some diabolical road designers out there.
In the worst case, if you take an infinite random walk on a plane, you will return to your origin a.s.

I notice that ChartBuddy missed some recent updates. Is the problem on Buddy’s end? Or did Buddy experience a timeout as I sometimes have, with the inferior robot* being too dumb to retry? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I did recently add some retry code to Chartbuddy. He'll try three times over the course of three minutes then give up. The problem could be anywhere along the line. I believe I added some error debugging too so I should probably take a look. I want to rework the code anyway as I think I should be able to get a lot closer to "on the hour". Currently, it's the time taken to generate and upload the chart then the time to log in then a wait for reasons I don't know but it fails if I don't then whatever it actually takes to make the post.
Good luck refining Buddy’s reliability. IMO, price updates add to the thread—even moreso retrospectively than in the present. Reading older discussions in WO, in periods with no Buddy, necessary context is missing; it is necessary either to remember approximately what the price was, or to look it up from other price history sources. And the bid/ask depth visualization is appropriate to the Wall Observer.
