seriously if you could add other coins and include history you would be the mannnnnn!
So my question to the community... What coins, and what exchanges would you like to see?
im only really interested in LTC but i guess NMC could be good as it looks like gox will be adding it at some point too.
if you had to focus on one thing though, i'd say the historical data. i (and probably many others) can't use the feed because i have a laptop, so whenever i shut the lid, i get huge gaps in data!
i don't understand why gox is any different from forex brokers or banks who must process hundreds of thousands of orders a minute...
don't see any lag with them...
Banks don't process orders, clearing houses do. Clearing houses simply have smarter people writing their algorithms. Gox was allowing invalid trades to clog up their system. Hahaha.
ok cool but what about stop/limit orders. that's basically what everyone is trying to do anyway...

there are a lot of people being introduced to bitcoin at the moment who don't have much choice but to buy now - there's no signs of bitcoins dramatically dropping in value.
Problem is price has to stabilize for it to be useful as a currency. I have almost mined enough Litecoins to buy an oz of silver and I was thinking about waiting to buy it so I can spend less litecoins. Not good for people to be thinking about that for a currency.
Bitcoin may actually be the solution to people only buying what they need instead of just throwing their money away on random crap.
I will eventually set up a server to store a master copy of ALL data. At that time, I will rewrite the feed to automatically download the data, and even catch up the data for the instance where you shut down the feed for an extended period of time.
pleaseee pleaseeeee do this
im new to LTC and i don't want to buy until i can properly see the price history
