Your comments really need to be directed toward these Bitcoin exchanges.

Do you think we are not capable of delivering data fast?

Do you know that we deliver data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, from a source data feed that has a rate up to about 15 Mb a second and we deliver it with latency below 1 ms. And we are able to process tens of thousands of trades in a single second? Are you even aware of the tremendous CPU power and disk speed that we have on our servers.

You talking about bitcoins here. And Mickey Mouse HTTP polling interfaces these Bitcoin exchanges provide.

Nothing changed in our newer versions. The only recent change is that we slowed down the polling rate on BTC China from 5 seconds to 10 seconds, just to ensure we do not overload their server. We can increase it, but it may not necessarily help because basically they send back a full days of trades every time we make a request. Do they have a streaming interface? We can check with them.

Does Bitstamp have a streaming interface? We have heard that but it is undocumented and they do not answer our emails.

Actually you are being critical of these exchanges. Not us. We are more than capable of delivering data with incredibly low latency.
