Thank you, SC Support Staff person #2. The Bitfinex feed seems to have reverted to normal, though sometimes a minute or two lag, but as long as its not worse than that then it's great. RE: futures data from Bitmex. I was interested in trading that before but the data feed seems sparse meaning liquidity was probably lacking so I went to BTC instead, and Bitfinex has astounding liquidity. Even Bitstamp pales in comparison. For Bitcoin (and maybe ETH and Dash and the other ALT coins - but that's a guess since I only trade BTCUSD) the Bitfinex feed is the one to focus on. AND the order book is really important...I HOPE SC won't relegate it to the bin of "maybe in 2 months" like the first support staff person suggested... So, until Bitmex provides a better feed or gets more liquidity, it isn't a good temporary substitute for Bitfinex. BitStamp is a fair replacement for price, but the order book is under-funded thus doesnt represent as well the underlying liquidity . So if you use the order book heavily, like i do, nothing is better than Bitfinex... BTW. I too would like BCH. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-08-19 15:11:34
