Title: Bitcoin ticker in the systray (wx toolkit) Post by: Anonymous on January 17, 2017, 10:42:12 AM I have written a small ticker application that displays the current bitcoin price in the systray. It uses the wx toolkit and I use it on Linux, but I guess it could work on OS X and even Windows. It comes with a configuration file that offers some options, and basic bitcoind and electrum integration (getinfo, launch electrum wallets, etc).
It uses python (py3 might work, but I didn't bother to build wx to test it) and a few existing bitcoin-related modules.

Need the hackers in here to confirm this to be 100% secure and safe to run, also would like a windows version if possible lolIt uses python (py3 might work, but I didn't bother to build wx to test it) and a few existing bitcoin-related modules. Source code at https://github.com/nkuttler/bittray Does it update the price all the time or could we set price update time to every 3 minutes or whatever? If it doesn't use much data and bandwidth I was looking for something like it, nice job.

I'm all for a review, but I'm also working on some updates, right now on a price alert feature (that uses libnotify, which might only be a linux thing). Unfortunately I'm not a windows user. All I know is that the wx tookit is cross platform, and I'd be happy to apply patches from windows users. I'm not sure how to distribute python scripts as exe, but I guess it shouldn't be too hard for people who use python on windows. The price updates every five seconds by default, but you can change the timeout in a config file (hm, right, the config file location is hardcoded to something that probably won't work on linux). |
