Bitcoin-based online gambling

Well, I've got the MtGox scraper doing work right now...

Interfacing with their API is a bit of a pain with almost no documentation for their newest version (2.0), but I have it working and all systems are go.

 

[Matty]

What does it scrape? The whole order book?

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Right now, every trade ever made on MtGox.

Can do a bunch of stuff with it though.

Can see your account info, market depth, place/cancel orders, etc.

It's a fully functional API with a method for retrieving their historical information.

 

[Matty]

Well shit.

Top 10 from the DB...

Maybe you could share with Raiders.

 

[Matty]

So you can reinforce his already wildly-successful daytrading.

LOL. I'm sure he'd have an idea what to do with it.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

So, there were about 300,000 trades in the first year...

I bet I'm about 1/3000th of the way there.

 

[FreeFall]

about all I would know to do with that information is when a "large" order is placed to go through I'd wanna be was next in line behind it and then sell after that small influx from the "large" order.

 

[Matty]

I would look at the pretty graphics.

Assuming that there are pretty graphics.

Are there pretty graphics?

lol
Gox is the last place you want to day-trade.

Last i heard it was taking hours to process trades

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Pretty interesting.

The MtGox website was down. Meanwhile, I could still access it through the API.

 

[Matty]

Da fok is going on. Is SR still down? Are people panic-selling cause they can't trade smack?

 

[FreeFall]

Sorrry Matty I got cold and needed to stay warm.

 

[Matty]

?

 

[Matty]

lol

Yeah. I've fokked around with most exchanges, BTC-e is by far the best.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

I'm setting up the API for BTC-e today. MtGox changed their archive fetch to 100 trades per query rather than 1000 overnight. Fucking slow as shit.
