Downtime today

April 22, 2013, 1:48 p.m.

We experienced a small database problem today and had to restore a backup. No data was lost and everything's working again.

New API urls

April 17, 2013, 4:01 p.m.

The API (/t/*) has moved to a new location: http://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/

Examples:

See "Markets API" for more details.

Please update all your URLs! The old locations will be disabled on 2013-05-31.

Performance improved

April 11, 2013, 6:13 p.m.

After tweaking the backend a little performance now should be better and 502 errors should happen much less often. Previously, this site was handling about 2000 simultaneous users. Now it is handling close to 50,000 and there are still resources available.

Maintenance mode

April 11, 2013, 12:09 a.m.

Bitcoincharts' database is being rebuilt in order to improve performance. This will take a few hours. Historic mtgoxUSD data is available. Realtime data will be back within a few hours.

Telnetinterface downtime

April 3, 2013, 8:03 a.m.

Due to high usage our telnet daemon ran into some problems. We'll address them shortly to improve performance.

Downtime on 2013-02-04

Feb. 4, 2013, 12:34 p.m.

We've had a small problem with a memory leak in our database server. This is fixed now and the site is fully functional again. No data has been lost.

Everything's back up

Sept. 11, 2012, 1:40 a.m.

We've had some trouble with the server within the last few days. We've restored the service using a recent backup so everything is back now and fully operational.

Small Improvements

Jan. 26, 2012, 12:24 a.m.

We have deployed a few changes:

vcxUSD and vcxEUR

Jan. 7, 2012, 4:17 p.m.

Two new markets have been added: vcxUSD and vcxEUR

Redesign

Nov. 28, 2011, 3:25 p.m.

Bitcoin Charts got a new design, but we've also made some changes to the backend:

New markets: cryptoxUSD and cryptoxAUD

Nov. 22, 2011, 12:58 p.m.

"Crypto X Change":https://cryptoxchange.com is now listed on Bitcoin Charts. cryptoxUSD cryptoxAUD

Volume pie charts

Nov. 7, 2011, 12:09 a.m.

We've added a new feature: "Volume pie charts":http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/volumepie/

"Out of coins"

Sept. 30, 2011, 5:55 p.m.

"Out of coins" was our old 500 - Internal server error page. It's a relict from the time when Bitcoincharts only had a few dozens users. We have changed it to a proper message now.

For the curious: An scheduled update on the frontend servers went wrong because the network connection between testing and production systems went down just so that a single library was not copied correctly while the system thought everything went well. We have changed the script so this should not happen anymore.

New mtgox symbols and b7* hidden

Sept. 2, 2011, 8:46 p.m.

We have added 15 new symbols for mtgox:


Data for Bitcoin7 is currently unavailable. It will be back soon.

Looking for Bitmarket?

Aug. 22, 2011, 12:54 p.m.

We were changing the API requirements for being listed on Bitcoincharts. Unfortunately, we were not able to reach anyone at bitmarket.eu for a month even though we wrote several emails. The new backend can not support the old API anymore so we have decided to remove any markets (at least temporary) until they support the new API.

This also applies to bitcoin-central, b2c and bitcoinmarket.

New Exchange: FreshBTC

Aug. 11, 2011, 1:25 p.m.

We've added three new symbols. freshPLN, freshUSD and freshEUR

New Exchange: bitchangePLN

We've just added "bitchangePLN":https://bitchange.pl/
