oyvinds NAILED it. I tried out 5-6 web- and software-based solutions and found no combination of datafeed + charting as powerful as SierraChart (though I use premium bitcoinwisdom in tandem with SC). Like oyvinds, this is the ONLY piece of non-free software on my computer and I'm happy to pay for it. In the immortal words of philosopher and time traveler Philip J. Fry, "Shut up and take my money!" Why? Because in the same way that I donate to free software projects, I gladly pay these guys to support development and costs of doing business (maybe they don't pay for a data feed, but the lights gotta stay on and they gotta eat, right?) User23559: "Your software is rather good, not the best, but good, sometimes." AFAIK, the best in the Bitcoin arena. "It's sad for me to see how this brandnew and much promissing bitcoinomy lacks a free and open source realtime datafeed solution, preferably distributed on a p2p basis, similar to the bittorrent proto." QtBitcoinTrader might provide this eventually, but don't forget that creating charting software is tantamount to writing a vector-based graphics editor that also collects, parses and presents the data feed, not to mention managing all that data in a highly customizable way. And while they create that software, developers have to feed themselves and their families and pay for products and services of their own as well as those related to business. That free bitfinex api? Paid for in fees. Would you rather give SC a commission based on the money you make with the information they help you analyze by providing this software? The flat fee is probably lower. In conclusion: Thanks for this amazing service. Take my money, please. QtBitcoinTrader has also documented bitfinex API bugs. "It's the economy, stupid." Full disclosure: I'm still in trial period but I'm SOLD! Only found this thread because I was trying to figure out how much a friend and I will be (happily!) paying. |
