Prices are inconsistent #8

Open dacarley opened 6 years ago

If I click on the "refresh" button, the values for BTC and ETH match the current values on coinmarketcap. However, when Nova auto-refreshes itself 15 seconds later, the value is completely different. Clicking refresh manually again restores the displayed value to coinmarketcaps's values.

Possibly related: When clicking a manual refresh, the value displayed briefly flickers to the "incorrect" value, before updating with the corinmarketcap value.

Thanks for the feedback. I would not say this is a bug for the most part, but you're right, this might feel a little bit weird for the end user. When clicking a manual refresh I refresh all prices from the CoinMarketCap API, but for pinned coins I use aggregated data from CryptoCompare API. That's where the inconsistency comes from. Unfortunately, CryptoCompare API does not provide an endpoint with all the data that I need and currently fetch from CoinMarketCap.

I'll leave this issue open for now and will see what I can do.
