Title: [ANN] App for checking prices from you desktop Post by: bitnotifications on July 19, 2011, 04:28:27 PM Hey Guys,
I made a small app that makes it easy to check the current prices in $ and € from your desktop. It adds a tray icon next to your clock that you can click to see the current prices and compare them with the prices 24h, 7d and 30d ago. I made this app for myself because I found myself checking the current value of my bitcoin 30 times a day ;-) I decided to make it public. Check it out: http://bitcoin-prices.com/ (http://bitcoin-prices.com/) Tell me what you think and maybe I will add your favorite feature in return ;-) Mark Title: Re: [ANN] App for checking prices from you desktop Post by: Oldminer on July 19, 2011, 08:27:36 PM Hmm nice little app..thanks
The setup seemed to hang here https://i.imgur.com/5UFD4.jpg but the app was still visible and accessible through the try icon. Would be nice to be able to remove Euro currency though as its not required. Cheers Title: Re: [ANN] App for checking prices from you desktop Post by: error on July 19, 2011, 10:51:56 PM There seem to be some issues with this app.
First is that it's Windows-only. I'd love something like this, but I'm not using Windows and I have no plans to start. Second is that I could not find any source code. How can we be sure that this program will not steal a user's wallet.dat?

I've downloaded the installer-free version, it's a .NET 2.0 applications (using forms, so it might work on mono) and no sign of any code that would steal a wallet in the version I checked :) Title: Re: [ANN] App for checking prices from you desktop Post by: bitnotifications on July 20, 2011, 10:18:39 AM Hmm nice little app..thanks The setup seemed to hang here https://i.imgur.com/5UFD4.jpg but the app was still visible and accessible through the try icon.

Maybe you can send me a screenshot of all processes that are running (preferably in process explorer's tree mode). Did the setup show a message box (it should)?

"source code": Never thought about this. I will probably release it today (it is not interesting anyway, no trade secrets to be found in a winforms app ;-) ). Thanks for the suggestion! |
