[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2144660, member: 112"]Regardless of what source you choose, what I would ask is how often are you going to update these values ? And have you considered how much time and work that will entail ? The reason I'm asking these questions is because the coin market is in a constant state of change. The market has trends that may last anywhere from 3 to 10 years, but it is constantly changing, with values either moving up or down. Given that, values are only valid for brief period of time. For example, this is what the coin market has looked like over the past 10 years.
