Title: BTCTalk should have a live btc ticker Post by: shkiser on July 16, 2014, 02:20:19 AM Ive been thinking this forum needs a live ticker for btc price, on the header or main page. I think thatd be a great addition to the site, but perhaps its not possible? Has this been discussed before?

I think thatd be a great addition to the site, but perhaps its not possible? Has this been discussed before? Doesn't seem like a bad idea. However, theymos or whoever manages the forum doesn't seem so keen on doing updates. I'm sure it's because he's busy though.

What difference bitcointalk ticker would make, it would only give the same information with some delay.

Title: Re: BTCTalk should have a live btc ticker Post by: Relnarien on July 16, 2014, 10:53:25 AM Having our own ticker is pointless though. The information would have to come from somewhere, which means that the board would have to trust one of the many Bitcoin exchanges to reliably provide an accurate estimate or come up with its own. And if someone loses money from relying solely on information found on that ticker, then the board will get bombarded with more useless whining. And for what? A lot of sites already host multiple Bitcoin tickers. Why would anyone even need a live ticker here when they would have to log on to an exchange with its own live ticker in order to make a trade? It's just a completely unnecessary feature.

Title: Re: BTCTalk should have a live btc ticker Post by: EFS on July 16, 2014, 12:07:14 PM That's a good idea. It should be implemented in new forum software. I'm in the forum almost 15 hours everyday but if I want to see latest BTC price I need to open Btc-e or Bitstamp. Live ticker will be pretty useful to me. We can choose which exchange site rate we want to see on our profile.

Title: Re: BTCTalk should have a live btc ticker Post by: shorena on July 16, 2014, 04:24:21 PM Just another useless (IMHO) feature for the new forum software. If this gets included please make sure I can turn it off.
Title: Re: BTCTalk should have a live btc ticker Post by: hilariousandco on July 16, 2014, 04:33:23 PM This has also been discussed/requested a few times before. I'd like the option...
Just another useless (IMHO) feature for the new forum software. If this gets included please make sure I can turn it off. ...but also agree with this.

You can just use the Bitcointalk++ script, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264337.0 Title: Re: BTCTalk should have a live btc ticker Post by: HeroC on July 19, 2014, 05:01:35 PM Ive been thinking this forum needs a live ticker for btc price, on the header or main page.

You can just use the Bitcointalk++ script, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264337.0 Use this, I use it too, and it has many different exchanges to choose from. It also has a bunch of other features (Configurable) that you can try.

You can just use the Bitcointalk++ script, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264337.0 We can't say adding a live ticker on forum is useless. I think it isn't added on forum is because of the major group on opposing side. If you want a live ticker you can use BT++ script. It has other features, which you may like. BTW I am in opposing group. :-X Kindly, MZ |
