Title: Bcast - BTC price live feed in your toolbar - A request for it Post by: Otoh on June 14, 2011, 01:11:13 AM I posted this in the Dev & Tec Disc forum but got no feedback, so am posting it here for: Any interest in this happening, or is it too hard to do or something, any comments
Does there exist an app or task bar feed from one of the exchanges or Bitcoincharts.com to display the BTC price in RT yet as in Kitco's Kcast (http://applications.kitco.com/supportcenter/windows/windows-support.html) for the gold & silver spot price & if not would someone be kind enough to make one please PS bcast.com is prob buyable as it's just parked atm Title: Re: Bcast - BTC price live feed in your toolbar - A request for it Post by: Stephen Gornick on June 14, 2011, 11:39:34 AM I posted this in the Dev & Tec Disc forum but got no feedback, so am posting it here for: Any interest in this happening, or is it too hard to do or something, any comments Does there exist an app or task bar feed from one of the exchanges or Bitcoincharts.com to display the BTC price in RT yet as in Kitco's Kcast (http://applications.kitco.com/supportcenter/windows/windows-support.html) for the gold & silver spot price & if not would someone be kind enough to make one please PS bcast.com is prob buyable as it's just parked atm I think the closest of something that runs in the tray would be the BitTicker app, but that is for Mac OS X. - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BitTicker There are some other data services but not anything that runs in the task bar from what I can tell: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mtgox#Data_Services There are some mobile apps that are along the same lines: Bitcoin Alert, BitcoinApp, BtcMobile - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Mobile If these aren't close enough and you believe there might be others with the same desire to use this, one method of getting it built is to set up a bounty and pledge funds toward the development: - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Active_Bounties Title: Re: Bcast - BTC price live feed in your toolbar - A request for it Post by: Otoh on June 14, 2011, 09:40:43 PM Many thanks, that is just what I wished to know, I'm hoping to get my first mac later this year so that's perfect & I'll check out your other suggestions too

Many thanks Mt Gox Live is v good for me, I may need to look in to a second screen *adds to wish list (http://images.businessweek.com/ss/08/07/0717_idea_winners/image/s_bloombergterm.jpg)* How come though the BTC (bid, ask & contracts) price there is about one $ more than TradeHill's, I expect it's obvious like the fees or something but easier to ask than to try & work it out, lots more volume than TradeHill so truer price I guess

Mt.Gox has that in 10 seconds. They're simply not keeping up with the price.Title: Re: Bcast - BTC price live feed in your toolbar - A request for it Post by: hawks5999 on June 18, 2011, 04:05:49 PM https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mplfonagphbambbggaghimbbhpjhapap
Doesn't go in Taskbar but since my browser is the primary interface for everything I do, it works. Title: Re: Bcast - BTC price live feed in your toolbar - A request for it Post by: Otoh on June 19, 2011, 10:21:22 PM needs in task bar
