Have you tried PMing the delegates that arent publishing?

Ive PMedmodt of the ones with 19 feeds.  I don't remember if I PMed the developer team as they don't show feeds.

Bump we still need just 2 more.

Please update your feeds, this is ridiculous we need this up.

If you truly did update pypi then the issue must be host caching, b/c it definitely thought 0.2.6 was the most recent version. Now that it's up on github I will update the files that changed manually.

UPDATE: Confirmed- local machine is fine but vps still only gets the 0.2.6 version. I obtained the feeds update directly from github.

it was released on pypi, see: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bts_tools/

sometimes pip gets mixed up with versions, so a way to upgrade a package that works everytime is to do "pip uninstall bts_tools && pip install bts_tools", maybe that'll solve your issues.

Please get that github updated so we can!!!!

oops sorry, it was very late and forgot to push :-[ This is fixed now. I did release it on pypi though, so "pip install --upgrade" would have worked, but you're right, I should be more careful.

I did want to get this out as soon as possible while this is still a hot topic, to make sure to take advantage that people are paying attention and to get those markets open.

I also wanted to thank eagleeye for pushing this issue. Even though those markets won't have a lot of depth at the beginning, I think it is important to be able to say that the markets are open and waiting for traders. I do believe that those markets are important for BitShares as they emphasize very clearly that BitAssets can track anything, not only fiat currencies but pretty much anything where people agree on what the name means. This is a crucial point, I believe, and it is much easier to show people that they can buy or sell NASDAQC, for instance, than trying to explain how it works.

I haven't checked since I posted my msg here, but I DID use the pip method to upgrade, but it only found 0.2.6. THEN I went to github and it was 5 days old.

scrapping prices from google finance is against their TOS .. it may lead to trouble .. please read the TOS!

well, they used to have it clearly specified in their old TOS (see: http://www.google.com/policies/terms/archive/20070416-20120301/, they removed §5.3 about scraping), but in the new version, the language is much fuzzier:

QuoteDon't misuse our Services. For example, don't interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide.

It's not so clear to me anymore that scraping is explicitly forbidden here, but IANAL so don't take my word for it.

The other thing is that using google as a feed provider in the bts_tools entails fewer than 10 requests/hour, which is so low it will certainly not be detected or banned (although the pattern of querying clearly indicates scraping).

But you're right, this still feels a bit in a legal gray zone, so I'll make it configurable in the bts_tools which feed providers the delegate wants to use.

In spite of the turmoil in my head (lots of things to process from bitshares 2.0! ;) ), I managed to work more on the feeds and I now have all 5 market indices (including SHANGHAI) working reliably.

The feeds are fetched simultaneously from Yahoo, Google and Bloomberg and use the average of the three. That means that if one of them goes down, we still get the info from the other two.

I also implemented a (very basic) system that warns you in the logs if the prices are not consistent between all the sources.

So for people using the bts_tools, please upgrade to the latest 0.2.8 version to get those running. Let's get those markets open!

Please get that github updated so we can!!!!

You haven't committed your changes. Please do that before you make announcements! Also, be sure you update the python package too so we can install it with pip install --upgrade.

Thanks!

I was recently wondering why developers weren't publishing feeds and I concluded it must be a legal issue of some sort.

If you are just "signing blocks," it's clear you are a "miner."
Once you start injecting information, especially commodities and foreign currencies, it isn't so cut and dry. Posting feeds may not be against regulations, it just isn't 100% clear either way.

Good... with BTS 2.0 still being far away I think it is critical that all delegates publish price feeds.  Even if it is just manually twice a day.
