dcrwages is a web application which provides average monthly DCR/USDT price. It starts a web server with a HTML page displaying the price information, as well as providing the information over an API.
This rate is used when Decred project contractors submit invoices denominated in US Dollars and receive payment in DCR.
Price data retrieved from Poloniex was used to calculate the monthly price of Decred in USDT. The weighted average price over 15 minute intervals on the BTC/USDT and BTC/DCR markets were used to find monthly average DCR/USDT prices.
This historic data is now hard-coded in dcrwages - the Poloniex API is no longer used by this project.
The price calculation was updated to use Binance instead of Poloniex, and the interval was changed from 15 minutes to 1 hour.
The Binance DCR/USDT market is now used to find the monthly average price instead of the DCR/BTC and BTC/USDT markets.
