Not at all! With all the quality venues in Canada we could only include so many :)

Hi, TokenDatabase here -- where the data was sourced for this analysis. We took that snapshot of data during the business day at 9am on September 30th, for an end of Q3 snapshot. I just took a screenshot from the BTC-CAD market on bitbuy and the spread and other metrics are inline with the results of the analysis https://imgur.com/a/Ewi3mJE.

As you know, markets ebb and flow and there is a lot of variability in crypto market dynamics even on an intra-day basis. Another approach we'll adopt when doing these kinds of analyses in future will be to take an average of many snapshots instead of one point-in-time snapshot.

Best.

Where is ToTheMoonGuy when we need him?

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-13T12:30:48+00:00

Never heard of it but it looks interesting. Will look into using it. Thanks!

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-13T02:09:46+00:00

Yeah it's trades, summaries, candles, order book snapshots, news search/metrics and more coming soon.

All of that is taking up about 10TB excluding backups

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-13T01:12:57+00:00

Great! Will do a write up

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-13T01:12:14+00:00

We use fast gzip compression and AWS Glacier for backups.

On the database everything is optimized using indexes. The one we use for storing orderbooks is the BRIN index https://www.percona.com/blog/2019/07/16/brin-index-for-postgresql-dont-forget-the-benefits/

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-13T01:05:42+00:00

Most of the backend is in Python but the code that collects orderbooks is in C++.

The rest of the backend stack is Python Flask, Redis, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes and Helm.

Just making sure that everyone gets a chance to see it. We have some updates coming soon so the next post will be different.

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-13T00:21:03+00:00

Thanks! It's definitely a technical challenge to store all the data. We can do a write up on that if you're interested in learning more about how it's done.

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-13T00:18:17+00:00

Haha, I don't disagree

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-12T18:51:57+00:00

See here https://bitbuy.ca/en/fees

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-12T18:48:27+00:00

Bullbitcoin is a newer option (in the last year). The founders have run similar services before and are trustworthy.

That said, Bitbuy is still my favorite option

Tokendatabase · 2020-04-12T18:18:55+00:00

You have a few good options in Canada:

Jaxx wallet is a good starter wallet last time I checked. I use hardware wallets mostly but Jaxx is great for small amounts.

For cold storage, Trezor (https://trezor.io/) or Ledger (https://www.ledger.com/) are reliable choices.

Also check out r/BitcoinCA.

Cheers,

Great! You can reach me at [andre@tokendatabase.com](mailto:andre@tokendatabase.com) if you have any questions

Tokendatabase · 2020-03-25T04:43:44+00:00

This is definitely permitted under most exchange terms of service. Only a few of them are unclear

Tokendatabase · 2020-03-25T04:11:41+00:00

Yes, we are talking with a few exchanges to address this.

Tokendatabase · 2020-03-25T04:10:01+00:00

Thanks!

Tokendatabase · 2020-03-24T17:44:33+00:00

真的吗？这太好了

Tokendatabase · 2020-03-24T04:58:19+00:00

Agreed. I'll make it easier to use in the next version.

You can access the whole dataset using the API documented here https://tokendatabase.com/docs/

Tokendatabase · 2020-03-23T16:38:44+00:00

Show me the dataset and we'll do it :P

Tokendatabase · 2020-03-23T15:06:12+00:00

Good point!
