Edit - Satoshi Nakamoto and Litecoin don't return anything yet. I'll wait :)
Oh and there's this http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bitcoin+to+zimbabwe+dollar

This site is how I passed computer geometry! I love it :)

It even comprehends "XBT", which almost nobody uses. I'm shocked.

Still needs work converting between units though ;_;

I love number theory, and I love Wolfram's math services. It's heartening to see bitcoin on their site.

I'm eager to see LTC NMC PPC etc. eventually as well.
Wolfram Alpha is a wonderful project, but I wish it was more like wikipedia :P

1 wikipedia is enough, wolfram is much more reliable, although maybe not as up-to-date so soon.

Wolfram Alpha is truly awesome. Glad to see it understand Bitcoin.

Would love to see it expanding with some blockchain.info-like stats.

Wow, this is really awesome. Kinda goes hand in hand naturally. After all cryptography is a subset of mathematics.

Computational Knowledge Engine doesn't even know about Namecoin.
Using closest Wolfram|Alpha interpretation: aucoin

I really love this product by Sir Stephen Wolfram

Sweet! I have been pushing them on this for a few years now.
For those who haven't used it. Wolfram Alpha is a marvel. I donated to their app development a few years back after my mind was blown.

Do they accept BTC donation ? If u have contact with them... can u plz pursue them to have a BTC address on their home page for donation ?

You can pursue them yourself and it doesn't have to be donations, they could accept Bitcoin for the Pro version.

Last I checked they did not take bitcoin. However, the engine also did not understand the term "bitcoin". Maybe they are cracking?

1 wikipedia is enough, wolfram is much more reliable, although maybe not as up-to-date so soon.
By more like wikipedia I meant more open and free.
I guess it is rather expensive to run that kind of server, though.
