Title: [List] Alternate for preev.com to get fiat value for your cryptos while tx
Post by: TheGreatPython on November 05, 2019, 08:32:03 AM
I am fine with preev.com as I have been using it for years without any problems. But, I feel now they are not having enough altcoins support. I mean we can use preev only for BTC, LTC and dogecoins. But, now I look for using waves for my payments hence for getting quick USD rates for my waves; I look for any new services.

It would be too good if we are able to add/select more number of coins similar to how we are able to switch different currencies and gold, silver on the other end. Some years back people mentioned about few alternates of preev when preev was down for few hours. But, I could not recall them as it was very long back.

An alternative with more coins is https://www.mycryptobuddy.com/CurrencyConverter
I've been using it now and then for more than a year and I can tell it has been pretty reliable. You just have to make sure the "socket connected" sign is green on the right side.
I even made a shortened url for it so I can remember it easier: http://tinyurl.com/preev2

Yep, It's a shame Preev didn't adapt and add more altcoins. And to add to @NeuroticFish's suggestion, other alternatives:

- Coinval: there are more altcoins, I think all existing coins are there https://coinval.co/ You can create your own portfolio and bookmark a special link
- Coinmarketcap: it has a tool similar to Preev https://coinmarketcap.com/converter/
- Snipta: there are only 8 cryptos and 8 currencies, still better than Preev...https://snipta.com/
- Coinwatch.com: Like Coinmarketcap with a currencies converter, it has a few altcoins/fiats https://www.coinwatch.com/cryptocurrency/converter

Im using this one for a while now: cryptomoney.rocks (https://cryptomoney.rocks/d/000000005/globalstatistics?orgId=2).

When it comes to BTC price then ive been using preev for how many years.

I am pretty sure coinbase now offers price support for other currencies.

If you are referring to this (https://www.coinbase.com/price)? then that's no different from CMC's list and is definitely not what OP is looking for.

- Coinval: there are more altcoins, I think all existing coins are there https://coinval.co/ You can create your own portfolio and bookmark a special link

I second this suggestion. Coinval is the way to go If you're interested in alts.

7 Alternative products to Preev (https://www.producthunt.com/alternatives/preev) this article might help you to find an alternative to use preev.

But I am only using preev to get the real time price for bitcoin for most other coins just go with CMC's price list.

From the list in the blog post link you can reduce it to near zero:

1) The Coinwatch (toolbar?) doesn't exist anymore https://apps.andrewrd.com/coinwatch/
2) Howmuchisabitcoinworth doesn't exist too http://www.howmuchisabitcoinworth.com/
3) Coinranking doesn't have a cryptocurrency converter
4) Crypti is a desktop app
5) Exploratu is an android app
6) Structured is now an investment website
7) cryptomoney.rocks is more like CMC but no converter.

Good websites were suggested but still I want to include on of them which hasn't written. This website is called: https://bitcoinian.com/ and is made by one of our member named:
teamer. Website looks as simple as preev but still better than that one. Seems because of good fantasy, there are not only btc/usd rates but also btc/banana rate, btc/lambo rate...
In overall there is six cryptocurrency which includes Bitcoin of course, Dash, Eth, LTC, Monero and Ripple.

Personally I knows that snipta.com and coinval.co are best alternative thing for preev but its already suggested earlier so I trusted google but again its proved me why I don't have to trust google blindly. :( :-X

Honestly, probably I have never used Preev for other currencies than Bitcoin. When I need to convert other cryptocurrencies, I simply enter something like "Monero to EUR" or similar on Google and go to first website shown in search results.
I tried to look for Preev alternatives for altcoins, but failed  to find. From what I saw, I haven't found website which would be convenient as Preev, with basic design, not many ads and other uneccessary stuff.

Not checking Preev rates for I think almost a year now also because of that few supported coins.

As an alternative and saw the improvement of this site as it progress, I refer to Coingecko (https://www.coingecko.com/) for coin pricing now. It looks like a modified version of how Coinmarketcap viewed a coin but with a USD converter.

That's how I end up in Coingecko back then until now.

Does it only have a ALT <> USD converter? Or you only use it for normal price checking? I can't seem to find a tool that works like preev.com



A few other websites I just remember about that also have a cryptocurrency converter:

https://coinlib.io/cryptocurrency-converter (my fav one since it supports a shit ton of coins and I recommend it to people since CMC went down hill).
https://www.livecoinwatch.com/ (only ALT <> USD in each coin's page but it's ok)

I often use CMC, coingecko or walletinvestor to convert any crypto to usd. Since your target is Wave coin, here are the links:

https://walletinvestor.com/converter/waves/usd/1
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/waves
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/waves/usd

The traffic rank itself isn't that good, but what I'm more surprised about is the time spent per user on the site;

https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thecryptocoinconverter.com 4:12 minutes spent per day per user (and increasing)
https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/preev.com 1:55 minutes spent per day per user (and going down)

That to me indicates the demand for a site that allows you to convert a ton of shitcoins where preev is stuck just supporting a few. In the stats it's also visible that preev is losing popularity, which should ring some alarm bells to start listing shitcoins too, because the demand is there. If preev isn't following the demand, people will move away.

I never actually understood the BTC rates on preev, the certainly were lesser compared to the rates once gets on google or other trading exchanges. Why has preev sort of had become a standard while choosing the BTC rates? I mean one can simply use the rates you get on google search and comply with the same?

Apparently I can't access from my internet home unless I use an VPN. I'm not sure why this is happening. And it's not a problem with my computer, since neither my phone is able to access it with the WiFi. Some "is it down" websites also appear to show the website as down while others are just fine.

BTC rates on Preev aren't taken from thin air. They display rates taken from Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Kraken and LocalBitclins. I don't know why Preev become a standard when checking BTC prices, but probably it's mainly because it was simpliest and most convenient place to check it when there wasn't so many options as we have today.

There is a gear icon at the top-right corner of the page that shows where the rates come from and which exchanges you want to consider/disconsider.

By default, it uses the medium rates between Bitstamp and Kraken, which I believe makes sense to price BTC trades. People could just use the exchange which the biggest/lowest price (based on if they are selling or buying) to get the best rate (for them). This way it's good for both sides.

There is also a note about this in the bottom of the page:
Quote
Price data is continually gathered from multiple markets. A weighted average price of these markets is shown by default (based on 24-hour trade volume). Alternatively, you can choose a specific source from the settings menu.

It looks like no one mention this one of preev competitors check this one https://currencio.co

They support more cryptos and currencies compared to preev so I think this is one you are looking for.

@Patatas @LTU_btc

In the early days, Preev.com was THE website for the Bitcoin' price for a single reason. It was one of the first and only to do it, not much any other. Someone mentioned Google's alternative. This one came a long time after (It hasn't been that long since google has been giving the real-time price)
