A list of popular exchanges may have to add if this is going to be implemented.

Actually, all that's needed to be done is some json parsing from the exchanges and taking the mean value. Also, when is the new forum software coming out? Or when was it "supposed" to come out?

Different people use different exchanges and also taking mean isn't a good for listing price IMHO. Also, when is the new forum software coming out? Or when was it "supposed" to come out? It was supposed to come last month. It will come soon as the developers are at the end. It's a general purpose forum that's intended to compete with others. Once the theme engine is in place, we'll be able to get more involvement from the public. For now, you can check out the source. On top of that a beta is being evaluated with the staff at this point so please sit tight.

I would love to see a btc price index.

Title: Re: should be a bitcoin ticker on this site Post by: bensam123 on March 15, 2015, 09:05:15 AM I don't think this would be necessary. For starters, you can always open a window on your browser and look at the live price. No point installing it on the forum. You're here to discuss, not to look at the prices.
Also chart buddy has got some good price info on his thread. You might want to check that out.

For starters, you can always open a window on your browser and look at the live price. No point installing it on the forum. You're here to discuss, not to look at the prices. Value of BTC is an important factor. I don't think it is hard to implement, if a user doesn't want it, he/she can turn it off in profile settings. Most probably, in Look and Layout Preferences. Also chart buddy has got some good price info on his thread. You might want to check that out. That thread is full of spam. It is better to look chartbuddy's post history than the thread.

I think a lot of us here already check the price everyday anyway.

It's very useful, It can show various exchanges and the average, mine is set to the average. I'll post a picture
just now.

But I certainly think like other sites a bitcoin ticket somewhere on top would be a great idea.
