BitKRW is the last unactivated BitFiat market with 49 price feeds.
We need two more delegate to make all BitFiat market work.

Those who are using emski's script, please update it.

Xeroc is unavailable for several week... after he comes back, I will ask him to update his python script as well.

Publishing it too, now, alongside all BitFiat assets. This is also part of the bts_tools feeds publishing module, will release a new version in a few days but it is already available on github (see https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=11857.0)

G'day xeroc, enjoy your stay in oz, mate! Summer down under, lots of beaches, babes, barbies and flies! Hope you're ready for a stinker! (ie. hot)

By the way, you're on a "holiday" .. no such thing as a "vacation" down here. ;)

A short Aussie story..
A story about mateship. Sheila didn't come home one night. When Bruce asked her where she'd been she said she spent the night at a girl friend's house. Bruce was a bit suspicious she'd been rooting around so rang her ten closest friends, but none of them had seen her.
Next week Bruce didn't come home one night. Sheila asks him where the hell he'd been. Bruce says he got a bit drunk at a mate's place and thought it was safer not to drive and crash out there. Sheila thinks he's been rooting around so rings his ten best mates. Eight of them say he spent the night there and two claim he's still there.

The market is down with 50 feeds. If you are a delegate and are not publishing KRW, please consider to do it.

Is KRW widely used? USD, EUR, CNY makes sense - but KRW?

You're right, KRW is less widely used than USD, EUR, and CNY. However, this does not justify that delegates do not need to publish KRW. There's a market and someone wants to use it.

Every delegate should know that if a feed for an asset is published once he/she should keep publishing it.
A delegate shouldn't stop an active market unless there is a reason.

I believe people in Korea use it every day, and there are millions of them :)

When a market freezes you can still buy or sell, only shorting becomes impossible. I'm not suggesting that's an excuse to drop feeds once they're up.

BitKRW definitely belongs on our list. For its blend of a large economy, tech-savvy population, nearly universal High Speed Internet, highly educated and banked population, and a lot of Koreans living abroad, South Korea is a rare market.

South Korea (Republic of Korea) has one of the largest economies in the world. If you subtract some countries that are basically just selling off their resources, it easily makes the Top 10 (and this is a country that basically has very few natural resources, so that's how industrious they are). It also ranks VERY high in surveys of the most high tech countries in the world, often placing between #2 and #4 on that list. There may well be more Koreans connected by High Speed Internet than any other group in the world. With all the Korean people living in other countries, such as the United States, Japan, and Canada, money transfers should be a big business. This is a highly educated, comparatively wealthy, highly tech-savvy population.

Bonus: there are a good number of Filipino workers in Korea. They get paid in KRW. When Underwood gets his remittance thing going...

You're right. There's a good potential in Korean market. Also, there are some exchanges interested in BitUSD and BitKRW.
So... stay tuned  ;D
