MTGox API question - difference between limit and market property
by
BillN
on 19/10/2012, 22:51:43 UTC
I'm using the MTGox API to get data about historic trades.

When I run https://mtgox.com/api/1/BTCGBP/public/trades?since={trade_id}, I get the latest 500 trades since that {trade_id}.

Now I have for example these two trades returned:

Code:
Trade #1
{"date":1342135345,"price":"4.77728","amount":"5107.98029213","price_int":"477728","amount_int":"510798029213","tid":"1342135345801755","price_currency":"GBP","item":"BTC","trade_type":"bid","primary":"Y","properties":"market,mixed_currency"},

Trade #2
{"date":1342136454,"price":"4.78","amount":"0.02000488","price_int":"478000","amount_int":"2000488","tid":"1342136454726203","price_currency":"GBP","item":"BTC","trade_type":"bid","primary":"N","properties":"limit,mixed_currency"},

Note the different properties: "market,mixed_currency" & "limit,mixed_currency".

What is the difference between a market and a limit property? What do both mean? (I couldn't find it here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MtGox/API/HTTP/v1)

And also: what does it mean for a trade to be mixed_currency?

Thanks BitcoinTrading.com for donating 5BTC. Link added to our website

FWIW the link you just posted to bitcointrading doesn't work properly. It gets appended to your own url.

See my sig

How does that site make sure you are logged in as the same person each time? I mean, it gives you a referral link but how can you be sure you can access the account to which the referral payments are made?

wait... what was that?

hack.. or siteowner's hissy fit ?...  either way it's a blight on the reputation of the site.

Seems to be back up, but it's a good reminder that we need alternatives for every service in the bitcoin ecosystem. 




I am building a site comparable to bitcoincharts and first wanted to use their API. Now however, I will be using each exchanges individual API. In the long term I am thinking about creating a bitcoincharts like API.

MPEx has an affiliate option. Referrers are credited 5 BTC for new account signups, with various potential ways to draw in referrals. Here's a devtalk exploring the possibilities.

If I understand correctly, with this program you can't just make a referral link but you need people to go to the trouble of manually inputting your referral id?

Re: [QUESTION] Can you put up Google adsense ads on a bitcoin related website?

Anyone can confirm using Adsense is ok?



I can the site in my sig uses adsense, it is in the rotation

U sure? Don't see any adsense after 50 or so refreshes

make sure you have no adblock or anything and I added one below the submit button, so that will always show

Still not working (on some reloads it says I do use adblock and others I dont -- I don't use adblock at all), but doesn't matter.

I'm building a Bitcoin related website and was wondering what different types of advertising monetization options there are in the Bitcoin space.

Are there any affiliate networks that have Bitcoin related stuff on them? CPA for bitinstant sign ups for example.

last week Coinbase had their program but it got shut down until further notice.

Already have started using Coinurl and also know of BitcoinAdvertisers but I'm looking for more CPA kind of deals.

Anyone any ideas?

What API do people use for bitcoin market data?
by
BillN
on 19/08/2012, 23:58:39 UTC
I am developing a website that does some things with the BTC exchange rates from different markets.

I was wondering what the general best practice is under bitcoin related website developers. Do you guys use the bitcoincharts api since it has data nicely formatted for all markets? Or do you guys use each markets individual API?

Any ideas about the pro's and con's of both?

Using bitcoincharts:

pro:
- only one API to call
- returned data for different markets formatted all the same

con:
- only 1 API call in 15 minutes

Using individual markets' API:

pro:
- call rate more often than once in 15 minutes

con:
- multiple API's to call and build code for
- different formats of data returned

How reliable is bitcoincharts -- I would like to use it but feel that they can shut down and I will have to build something for all markets still.

My guess would be that people heavy into bitcoins, such as bitcoin site webmasters, are going to be fairly anti-Google due to their perceived evilness. They might also want to promote one of the bitcoin based advertising options.

Yeah I thought about this: Most bitcoin using people will be fairly tech savvy and have good 'ad blindness'. Maybe for that reason bitcoin related ads will work better since people using bitcoin want to keep bitcoin running and will support those types of banners.

Any ideas from a webmaster and their experience with adsense vs. bitcoin related ads?

Browsing across different bitcoin related websites I rarely see any adsense ads even though lots of website do show ads.

I was wondering what the reason for this is. Does Google prohibit using adsense on bitcoin related websites? I found this topic discussing some suspicions in that direction (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=24384.0) but am wondering what the current state of affairs is.

Anybody an idea why adsense isn't often used on bitcoin websites? (or maybe my observation is wrong and someone can show me some examples of sites that do carry adsense).

p.s. I am not sure this subforum is the right section for my question, but since people making websites and project hang out here I thought I'd post it here.

great project, I wanted to make something very similar too!

btw, is it really the world's first honest one? Smiley

Yeah I don't think it's the first one (those are their words) - but it makes for a great subtitle I guess Smiley

Yes that would be better, however, the minimum deposit is 1B if remember correctly. Your argument does however stand for splitting up larger amounts still.

Came across this gambling website. It's a transparent ponzi schema website.

www.pon-z.com

Of course this is just a gambling site and no value is created, but if you like that kind of thing it's best to get in now right?

People are already validating they received money. If you want to know more, it's being discussed here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/y2lng/ponz_the_worlds_first_honest_ponzi_scheme_using/
