1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Android App - Bitcoin currency converter based around VirWox on: June 08, 2011, 10:32:39 AM
This is a little project i have been doing for my self to keep track of prices to GBP cos I'm from the UK so i cba with USD plus VirWox supports paypal so all the better for me and anyone else who is reading this lol.


Anyway the app provides conversion between bitcoins to USD/GBP/EUR

there is the option to automatically include the paypal fee as well as the VirWox market fee's or have a look at what you would get if they didn't charge you to convert >.> (we wish)

this only supports the market price option and not the limit order, also since the VirWox API doesn't support transactions or account access yet that isn't there either, tho when they release it i'll prob add it.

there's no widget yet but that will be coming at some point when im not working or so sick of coding at work i cba to do it at home.


This is a screenshot from a beta version but the design is the same

Download and install the APK on your android device
https://github.com/Deathnetworks/BitConvert/tree/master/Release

Layout might be abit off or alot >.> i haven't done any cross device testing as im too lozy tho i will update when i stick that in.
At present its optimised for the samsung galaxy s2 aka I9100 - cos thats what i have

Will post on the android market once I receive enough donations to join the thing lol >.>

Just wanting to post on here to see if the person/person's who are devaluing the bitcoin on Virwox will listen, the price was a nice steady 1900-2000SLL or about £4.75ish each. Then who ever this person/person's are have been continuously trying to out do each other.

The current market depth looks like this:

Rate   Volume   Accumulated
1,515.0   200   200
1,530.0   200   400
1,545.0   200   600
1,560.0   200   800
1,575.0   200   1,000

2,200.0   57   1,057
2,250.0   11   1,068
2,500.0   14   1,082
3,000.0   19   1,101
3,200.0   45   1,146


as you can see the red amounts are very evenly spaced out and very exact. These coins have been used to demolish the current rate and may have influenced the MtGox price fall recently as the trend matches very closely.

Just so this person/person's know put your sell prices back up to 1900+ stack them on top of each other or out bid by a few ie1-2SLL to try and help the BTC reach a happy rate that it was enjoying a week before
your destruction of the market.

To others just reading this and asking what am i complaining about that's what happens in markets like these, but all i can say is not to this degree as your all aware the price rate is fallen considerably in the past few days, even 12hours ago the rate was higher then these lots of 200 coins started leap frogging the price down and if it continues at the rate the bitcoin may be worthless in less than 2weeks

I really hope im over-reacting or that the one's responsible will correct their actions
