Title: [App] Bitcoin Price Notifier! Get desktop alerts for every 5% movement
Post by: poly on April 18, 2013, 07:25:28 AM
After missing a lot of market movement, I've coded up a simple windows app that will notify you once the price moves +5% or -5% compared to the last notification. It pops up at the bottom right corner of the desktop, and you can also click on it for fast access to bitcoinity.org/markets (I'm not affiliated with bitcoinity).

Not much else about it, I'll flesh it out later with different exchanges support, maybe LTC. It gets the price from my server which returns the MtGox last, and if MtGox is down then the BTC-e price is returned. Currently Windows only as it makes use of .NET.

I provided this because I find it useful myself and I think others would like it too. If you don't want to use it, don't use it. You're not entitled to anything.
