Bitcoin Forum

Browser Extension:
current version: 0.2

I have created a browser extension for Firefox and Chromium browsers (i.e. Chrome and Edge) that provides additional features to bitcointalk posts interface. You will be able to easily see add price image, address balance, transaction details and recommended fees. (all details in the api docs https://bitcoindata.science/bitcointalk-api)

After clicking in any of the new buttons, you will automacatically post the Bitcoin Price Image, address balance Image, transactions details, etc. See screenshot below.


You can also customize your image with the buttons on the right (Bold, Fiat Currency and Color).

Please, give me your impressions and suggestions. This is the first extension I have created.

Haven't checked it yet, but wanted to make a suggestion.  While the code is fresh in your mind, consider writing the extension for the invision power board software.   There is a marketplace there for extensions; you can sell it for a set price and then get automatic renewals.  :)

What a great extension you have made Bitmover. It's really an awesome one. It's nice to see your first extension and I hope from now on you'll continue making such extensions for Bitcointalk. I'll install the extension and then edit this post to include an example of it that how it looks on my side.

It works?  :D

Well done bitmover.
In the next update, maybe you could add some info hints, for those users who don't know enough about what you did here. Or at least the path to the site where there are explanations.
I assume it works on all SMF versions.

Thanks.

I added a better screenshot and a link to the API documentation.

Yeah, it works in all SMF forums. However, I just added support to automatically load in bitcointalk and altcoinstalks.



I never used this software, I will see if I can find more info. Do they accept bitcoin payments?  :)

You can accept any type of payment you'd like.

Testing: Posting this because it looked distorted in the preview tab

Another great one @bitmover. This one will make it easier to post live prices instead of one first having to load the site

clarification regarding address balance


Does one have to replace the stars/asterisks too with the address? Or does the address go in between the asterisks?

An option to make it in this SMF text would be great, then people will think you are a ninja editor.   :)

Well, this is easy to do with texts. Do you think this would be better than images?

The point about images is that they are always updated. If you come here in 2 years, you will see the updated bitcoin price.

A text cannot be updated;.

I never used that forum. I see I need to install a software, not a web app, right?



The address goes without the ***

example:
https://bitcoindata.science/api/addressbalance.php?address=1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa&currency=EUR&hex=000000 (https://bitcoindata.science/bitcointalk-api.html#address-balance)

Nice work!
I am testing it with userscript and it is showing all the data correctly.
One thing about transaction fees, I would remove the last line with minimum Fee, some people could think that with this fees transaction can be confirmed, but it may not happen for months.
Or at least you can add warning that transaction may not be confirmed for a very long time.
Mempool.space is only showing 4 fee tiers: No Priority, Low Priority, Medium Priority and High Priority.
I already wrote other suggestions earlier, so I won't repeat myself ;)

I mean a transparent image, like you have now, but the image looks like text.   Example: $55,555 could be an image that changes over time.  Hence the term "ninja edit".   People will see your text change but not see an edit notice.   :P

To write a mod for IPB (https://invisioncommunity.com/) you'd have to learn the infrastructure.  But once you know it, it's a very lucrative revenue stream; I know a few authors that make their living just supporting a couple mods. 

Extension was approved in Microsoft Edge Store

Nice work bitmover.

What is the matter with the implementation in browsers for mobile devices? I am specifically interested in Safari

It works well in Firefox mobile and Edge mobile.

I will make some research about how to publish in Apple Apps Store, for Safari.

You can download Violent Monkey and use it with my greasyfork code as well, for now. I know this is not ideal.
