I recently started running my own Hive Witness for the first time (in addition to the @spknetwork node I run and all the @v4vapp and @podping stuff). I specifically wanted to ensure @podping was using infrastructure that it was contributing toward.
As part of @v4vapp I have a public API which gives a price feed for Hive. It looks at @coingecko and Coin Market Cap as well as taking the HBD price from trades on the internal Hive market (because the external indicators for HBD to Hive are not good).
I'm still looking for a few more votes to get my proposal funded for continuing work, links here:
Support Proposal 244 on PeakD
Support Proposal 244 with Hivesigner
Support Proposal 244 on Ecency
Vote for Brianoflondon's Witness KeyChain or HiveSigner
That api end point is here: https://api.v4v.app/docs#/cryptoprices/cryptoprices_v1_cryptoprices__get
Price Feed
It was very easy (now that I've been doing dev work for so long) to turn that into an updating price feed for Hive Witnesses in the most simple way I can think of.
The script only updates every 12 hours or if the delta between the current reading and the last posted price is greater than 2%. It checks for prices every 15 mins. It's a first version, any issues I'll look into.
This is the repo and there are instructions to run from a single command line (using Docker) or a docker-compose.yml file.

Let me know what you think or if you try it out.

It's really awesome @brianoflondon and I have always appreciate your efforts and commitment to the work you do. Keep up the good work moving.
👍
I appreciate all the hard work gone into podping. If there's anymore proposals needing vote, I definitely support !
👍
This really is a good example to showcase to others in other to improve oneself for the better.
That's really great to know. I must really admonished you for your great work, dedication and commitment per time
Great initiative and I think improving the price feed is imperative to broadcast this information and also allow others to have updated data. This is the only way in order to make use of price boosts.

Enjoy watching you grow the blockchain with your cleverness. Lots of passion here which is very inspiring. And smarts.
Love the duck... who could scroll past a duck that cool?
Everyone loves a duck!
Surely not everyone :)
But they should!
Quack!
Double Quack, my fine feathered friend.
Double quack!
Hmmmm...
if it's a good duck, of course :D
*catching up slowly
One can appreciate a naughty duck sometimes 😜
Dude... I would give my left tail feather for a naughty duck right about now. I can't even remember the days... or count them.
Also...
Only owls around here and they're all in surprisingly civilized coupledom. It's quite sweet actually.
No water for miles though.
The struggle is real. 👍
Thank the gods for Hive.
When I try to set this up I get "Given Active Key does not have correct authority for solominer" in the logs.
I tried using the wif_priv_key generated using cli_wallet but seems it does not like that.
It needs the regular posting key for your account not the witness key.
OK thanks, I changed to my posting key but now I am getting a time out error from api.v4v.app
Exception publishing price feed: The read operation timed out
ERROR pricefeed 157 : Problem connecting to api.v4v.app: The read operation timed out | Failure: 1 | Sleeping: 10s
ERROR pricefeed 136 : The read operation timed out
Sorry you would have gotten this over the weekend when I had to take much of my @v4vapp infrastructure down. Its all working again and the pricefeed will carry on.
