I use [https://explorer.zcha.in/](https://explorer.zcha.in/) quite a lot to see what current network difficulty is, USD/ZEC rate etc. But I’ve noticed that the ZEC rate is incorrect. It currently shows $71.90 USD (which would be great if it was), but the actual rate from [CrptoCompare.com](http://CrptoCompare.com) is $62.08. You can see at: > **[ZCash (ZEC) - Live streaming prices and market cap](https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/zec/overview/USD)** > > Live ZCash prices from all markets and ZEC coin market Capitalization. Stay up to date with the latest ZCash price movements and forum discussion. Check out our snapshot charts and see when there is an opportunity to buy or sell. However, [https://Explorer.zcha.in](https://Explorer.zcha.in) uses the CryptoCompare API of: [https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=ZEC&tsyms=BTC,USD,EUR](https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=ZEC&tsyms=BTC,USD,EUR) to get the latest USD/ZEC price - but that is returning the wrong data - so not technically the fault of Explorer.zcha.in as to why it is not showing correct rate. I’ve reported/raised this as an issue with CryptoCompare but not sure if/when they will fix it. So if you are looking (like I was) at [https://explorer.zcha.in](https://explorer.zcha.in) for the latest ZEC price, don’t rely on it as it has inflated the figure by about 15% so your ZEC is worth less than you thought. ---

Ah… Thanks for the pointer - hadn’t come across that site before. On the Markets tab, I noticed HitBTC having the higher USD Rate of currently $15 more than the nearest other Exchange (Poloneix) which is $61… (when traded for Bitcoin)… Think this proves that if you want to sell, shop around! ---

@zij The price is offset due to the current ZEC/BTC premium on HitBTC (which has suspended BTC withdrawals). I’m looking into possibly changing Zchain to just show the USD rate from direct fiat exchange, haven’t found a good source yet, will update later. ---

Looks like the exchange rate calculations have been altered; the price displayed on Zchain should be accurate now. ---

Looks great to me… Thanks for the prompt fix!
