Title: How Does SR Get A Dollar Valuation For Bitcoins?
Post by: lelmeriodici on March 25, 2013, 04:39 am
On the shopping cart page, SR displays a number that it uses (presumably throughout the entire site) to make USD/BTC conversions.  Where does this number come from and how delayed is it?

Thanks,

I can't answer your question but I can say that the number is updated every 10 minutes from what I've seen.

Take care buddy,

Ok, thanks CrazyBart.  What period (time) is the weighted average taken over?
