I want to be able to import this: http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/weighted_prices.json into Excel.

This: http://ramblings.mcpher.com/Home/excelquirks/json apparently explains how to do so.

However, I find I'm missing some basic steps/knowledge. I really have no idea how to make it work and would rather see what it would cost to get it done by someone else than spend any more time on it.

So, what I believe I need is someone to build a VBA macro thing to execute the import, and to explain to me what I need to do to make it work in a spreadsheet. If there's some other way to do it feel free to correct me.

I don't think it would actually take that long to build for someone who knows what they are doing, but unfortunately that someone isn't currently me.

If you think you can make it happen shoot me a PM or post with a cost quote and I'll get back to you. I'll leave off making a decision for awhile and let the free market do its thing

I need an application that downloads current BTCT/Bitfunder order books repeatedly and saves their data to my hard drive.

This app should be generic enough that I feed it a URL or security name and it gets the order books for that security.

Each security on each exchange will write to its own .csv file.

If there is an existing .csv file for that security, it will append the new data. If there is not an existing .csv file for that security, it will create a new .csv file.

Each line in this .csv file will be in this format: Bid Quantity, Bid Price, Ask Price, Ask Quantity, ISO 8601 Date/Time (UTC Time Zone).

If a bid does not have a corresponding ask or vice versa, do not write it. For example, if there are 20 bids in an order book and 19 asks, do not write the 20th bid.

I do business regularly on bitcointalk and /r/jobs4bitcoins. I can provide sources to vouch for me if you like. I pay half up front and half after it is done and I can see it meets my specifications. If you're interested, PM me an offer of how much you want to create this app. Also let me know when you will have it done by. I'll get back to you if your offer is the most competitive ~48 hours from now. Feel free to ask any questions in this thread so others can see the answers.

Wow such a harsh mistress you are.  Please read more carefully.  Can you recognize pixel colors on a screen and figure out how to handle them in an unseen computer system?  Perhaps I should hire you if you are such a magician.  

Do you really think probability calculations are simple math?

I have no idea what that game looks like but if you can do it with a computer I can write a script to duplicate your actions.  Is there no thinking involved?  That's where it gets expensive.

Now selling scripts that do whatever you want....

edit:

I just read this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)

You are asking for a system that can:
1) read what a screen says and make sense of it
2) act on that information
3) do complicated math on that information
4) provide an answer
5) restart loop

1 and 3 are the expensive parts.  It could take hundreds of hours to develop.  I do not come cheap.

Are you guys sure this black spec is on the chip itself? Looks to me like something on the ceiling reflected on the chip....

I hope you didn't spend too much time on it. I didn't ask anyone to write anything for me.   I am not found of screen captures because they are fragile and for the application I am looking at if it broke and reported incorrect data it could be costly.

I might be able to whip something up...PM inbound.

It shouldn't be too much, his signature mentions pounds so its northern Ireland so should be the same price as shipping to UK, for some tshirts and such it'll only be a couple of dollars.
