Hi, does the JSON offer a straight global average (rather than individually by market) and then ideally a USD conversion from bitcoinaverage (that site is open-sourced if you didn't know - but integrations need to built per exchange.) You may want to open this one too.

Ok, so we now have Bitcoin, Litecoin, and...Dogecoin, "an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency, favored by Shiba Inus worldwide"

Can we officially declare that crypto-currencies have jumped the shark?

I don't mean to be critical, and maybe I'm missing a UI element, but charts that cannot be scaled on the X axis (i.e. select a timeframe) are not very useful.

Don't forget Coinye! "Coinye, formerly Coinye West, is a Scrypt-based cryptocurrency that used the American hip hop artist, Kanye West as its mascot"[1]

Such cynicism.

That site takes its Doge price from http://www.cryptocoincharts.info/#jump-doge-btc (and seems to underquote it too) and the Bitcoin price is taken from bitcoinaverage. Anyhow, this a great first effort. I'd use it to tweet out on @dogeprice as I am doing already with @btcprice. This is a really hot market at present. It's also full of opportunities. Dig in Shibes.

Coinye's naked worship of celebrity is simply gauche. The irony only makes it worse.

Dogecoin on the other hand... wow.

I for one am looking forward to the 2050s, when china installs the doge as the world reserve currency, and all our paper money is written in rainbow-coloured comic sans.
