Title: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: ibittler on August 16, 2013, 07:38:39 PM Hey there,
Today I'm releasing a BTC and LTC ticker for OS X. It sits on the menu bar, displaying there the last price for the first currency, the other currencies can be seen upon clicking on the price. Right now, it supports 16 combinations of currencies (eg. BTC/USD, LTC/BTC, BTC/EUR…, more info on the webpage: http://ibittler.github.io/CoinNotify/) from 4 different exchanges – if you want others, just say it ;). You can set the update interval and the (maximum) number of decimals it displays. https://i.imgur.com/wBiJJ0Q.png The code is completely open-sourced on its Github page: https://github.com/ibittler/CoinNotify. You can download it here: https://github.com/ibittler/CoinNotify/releases/ (click the first button to download the compiled version) If you like the app and you'd like to contribute to the development, you may send a donation to: 12DLbJY48o5vFn3f7eDy7g98yPfo215W4b – if you send one, you can PM me or reply this thread so I'll put you "Thanks" section of the webpage. Finally, let me know your thoughts and suggestions for this app. Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: pr0d1gy on August 17, 2013, 03:15:17 AM Nice, gotta give this a try.

It should work with Mavericks fine, I mean, I haven't tested it yet, but it's not using any deprecated or old feature.

Thanks for this.

And as far as coin wise, they have a retarded amount, but im only looking at btc, ltc, ftc, ifc, and str. I'm working to integrate Cryptsy. I've contacted them so I could get an URL to request a single ticker for each currency they offer, because currently they only offer a single URL of almost 1MB with all the quotes and the latest orders, and parsing 1MB of JSON every few seconds would be a huge battery overkill and an inefficiency.

Do the people that have downloaded it know that there are no malware or trojans in it that could cause harm. I'm sure there isn't I just wouldn't know how to check. :) Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: ibittler on August 22, 2013, 02:01:36 PM I am not a techie at all and I am wanting to know if this is open source.

Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: steelboy on August 22, 2013, 11:51:25 PM It's now saying Bitstamp price is $0.00
I hope that's not right. :D Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: xavier on August 23, 2013, 12:58:14 AM Nice :D
Are you familiar with this? http://codestream.de/bitcoin-monitor.html Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: ibittler on August 23, 2013, 03:49:23 PM It's now saying Bitstamp price is $0.00 I hope that's not right. :D I think it was a Bitstamp server error. Right now, I can see the real price in CoinNotify. Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: steelboy on August 24, 2013, 10:02:29 AM It looks like Bitstamp has banned my IP because i was making too many requests with this thing. :(
Make sure you dont update too often if you dont want to get banned Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: hivewallet on October 08, 2013, 09:46:23 AM Beautiful!
We would be interested in pulling this into Hive (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304060.0;all), but we need to support 10.7 as well as 10.8. Do you have plans to do that, or should we send you a pull request? Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: joesmoe2012 on October 23, 2013, 04:25:34 AM I'm running this on 10.9 without issue...Just an FYI.

Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: ibittler on December 22, 2013, 05:03:52 PM Hey,
Happy holidays y'all. I've been preparing a new release of CoinNotify, which is being pushed right now. Version 1.0.2 includes:
Also, CoinNotify 1.0.2 includes an unintrusive ad (using Anonymous Ads, so they don't collect personal data) inside the prices listing so I can earn a bit of money from this app. I know this may sound a bit intrusive, but, on the near future I'll offer some way to remove the ad. Also, if you can't live with the ad, you can get the source code and delete the ad. After all, this is the beauty of being open-source. Title: Re: [OSX] Multi-currency BTC & LTC Ticker for OS X's Menu Bar Post by: joesmoe2012 on December 23, 2013, 03:04:45 PM please offer a version through app store without the ad. Or a way to upgrade. I can't stand the ad.
I've been running your software on all of my macs for months now, but with the ad taking up sapce, on my small macbook air, i can't see everything i need to see. I don't mind to pay but please please please remove the ads! Also, is it possible for more than one price in the menubar at a time? |
