Title: BTC/Silver exchange rate script Post by: Longmarch on May 09, 2011, 07:36:54 AM Okay, I worked out a source for a more-or-less live silver spot price. Which means I was able to finish my Perl script for getting the BTC/Ag ratio with the press of a button.
Right now the script is posting data to https://twitter.com/HollowTreexds every 20 minutes. The formatting might be a little rough, though. I can output this data in all kinds of ways, comma delimited, whatever. If anyone has any use for it, let me know. I aim to have this thing plotting a graph at some point. Time will tell.

Unfortunately I'm hopelessly non-technical so I'd have no idea how to integrate this into an application -- I'm hoping you or others will take up this challenge though. A graph would be wonderful by the way.
If you're interested pm me with a physical address and I'll be happy to send you a couple free bitcoin stickers for your work. Thanks again -- it's people like you who donate their time and talents that make me confident bitcoins will be here for the long run.

Rounding to 4th place now. Formatting still isn't optimal, though. Also, I forgot to mention that I had the idea of moving this output to its own Twitter page. If there's enough interest I can do that in the coming weeks. Title: Re: BTC/Silver exchange rate script Post by: Longmarch on May 09, 2011, 04:38:26 PM This is awesome.

This is a good project for me to improve my Perl & PHP skills so there'll be more to come. I PMd you, but forgot to click "save to outbox" so I have no evidence that I didn't hallucinate the whole message... :-\ |
