Hi all, I've written a simple windows gadget (desktop widget) to monitor the BTC/USD exchange rate at Mt. Gox. It looks like this:  It displays the current exchange rate statistics, and will glow (in a non-intrusive way!) when the rate goes up or down, or when the volume increases. Anyways, I'm selling it for 0.10BTC. You can purchase it at http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/859. For those concerned about security, note that a .gadget file is simply a zip archive, and everything is in clear (the bulk of the gadget is specialized javascript); so you can audit it before you install it. Any remarks or suggestions welcome! PS: for those who prefer linux, just a reminder that I've made a similar widget that you can get for free: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Bitcoin+Rate?content=138572PPS: is there a place on the wiki for software like this? |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

You'd think Microsoft would have provided a nice a well-documented API to motivate developers to write stuff for their new OS; well, no :-) |

What operating systems are supported here? My Vista laptop died unexpectedly, so for the near future I'm limited to my WinXP desktop. I'm guessing this is Vista/7+ right?

Yes, although I didn't test on Vista. Should work though. Feedback welcome! |

BTW, I want to lower the price for the gadget, but bitcoinservice.co.uk doesn't allow fractional amounts of bitcoins. Does anyone have a better solution to distribute my gadget?

Ok, at a first glance, it seems that MtGox have changed their API. I'll try to upload a new version this week-end.

I bought your gadget as well, and would like it updated for the new Mt Gox API. Please let us know when it's finished! Other than that little snafu, I really like it!

I've uploaded a new version that is compatible with the new MtGox API: http://www.bitcoinservice.co.uk/files/859The price is now 0.15BTC. Get it while it's hot! For people who already have bought the gadget and would like a free upgrade, PM me a hash of the old file and your email, and I'll send you the new version. |

Awesome! I just bought it, and it works well. The one thing is, I didn't like the design, so I made my own. =] https://i.imgur.com/YHrOP.pngWhat do you think? |
