hi everybody,
I wasn't able to work much on this project lately, but today I posted a small update with some newly added currencies and I added the fear&greed index to the homepage. For those who are interested in supporting the project, donations are always welcome! (BTC address can be found in my profile)
2  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoin-converter.com on: March 13, 2020, 04:57:05 PM
All fixed now, thanks again for your input!

You're welcome, a few more suggestions:

- I just noticed that you only support conversions from BTC (and its units) to fiat. You should allow vice-versa as well.
- Use URL parameters. An example from XE:

Code:
https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=EUR

That's a feature I would personally use. If I'm making a sale's thread-like this one for instance. I could just link the website instead of writing "using preev.com rates", that will make it easier for everyone to check how much 1300$ USD is in BTC.

you can use the parameters with the following URL:
Code:
https://www.bitcoin-converter.com/calculator/?amount=1&from=BTC&to=USD
but this is not visible when you fill in the form, the inverse conversion EUR -> BTC is also indeed something I still need to add. Definitively two things I am going to work on.

edit:
Code:
https://www.bitcoin-converter.com/btc-usd/?amount=2
also works

Good job on the improvements you've done so far, here are a few more suggestions:

- Support more fiat currencies: You can use Fixer.io API. Also, make sure to make it easy to search for a currency (while having USD, EUR & GBP on top), a user won't bother scrolling through the whole list, especially if you're going to support 170 currencies.
- Price sources: You listed way too many centralized platforms, take a few off and include P2P exchanges like LBC and decentralized ones like Bisq.io. I also suggest you allow multiple selections for the price source so instead of only being able to select one exchange at the time, allow the user to select multiple platforms and take then calculate the average from that.

It also seems like there is some glitch. Whenever you use decimals, the textbox border becomes red as if there is some kind of error (but the conversion works just fine).


All fixed now, thanks again for your input!

thanks for the kudos, I will keep working on it and post in this thread when I have a new update ready!

Can't get enough of seeing Bitcoin BTC skyrocketing? Today I launched a Google Chrome extension to check the prices from each exchange directly in your browser top bar. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bitcoin-price-converter/mengdaiflgahpehifoiopgcdbjapabpn

Today I made another small update to the site. Conversions from millibitcoin (mBTC), bits(µBTC) and satoshis are available now and the 'Dark mode' feature is also enabled

Study the market. Since the price of Bitcoin is extremely volatile, it’s important to check its conversion rate in real-time. This will ensure you don’t end up buying or buying or cashing in at the wrong moment.

So the first step is to ensure the timing is right – and that’s where a Bitcoin calculator comes into play. This is essential since Bitcoin calculators show they how much Bitcoin you’ll get for your money. Second, you need to choose the right Cryptocurrency exchange. Important is to find an exchange that supports your chosen Bitcoin trading pair.

On for example https://www.bitcoin-converter.com it is easy to calculate the current Bitcoin price and follow price movements on all major bitcoin exchanges at one glance.

A lot has been changed and improved since the launch of https://www.bitcoin-converter.com/ a couple of weeks ago. You can now follow all price movements on all major bitcoin exchanges at one glance. Also, all our datasets are now available for students and non-commercial use free of charge.
9  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoin-converter.com on: January 20, 2020, 03:35:04 PM
In general, your project looks acceptable and easy to understand despite some things should be improved and changed like, the domain name and the web page design, the logo.
In fact, you need to add some cryptocurrencies. Also, I did not like that part of featured articles, it is not even necessary to put it in the website I guess.
Otherwise, the other things are pretty okay, and remember that nothing gets better without hard work and effort, try always to improve your project, make it special ,  you are capable for that.
Good luck.

thanks, I keep working on it!

The website loads fast on my phone, way faster than other websites which is obviously a good thing.

However, as it's been mentioned before, I think the website name is too long. If it's going to become CMC-like traffic-wise, it's not going to be such a big mess but until then people need the comfort of writing a shorter name. I'd go for something like "bitconvert.com", but it'd be easily confused with "bitconverter.com" which I suppose you wouldn't want.

I'd like to see alts there too, but that's your choice and I guess considering the fact that your website's name is "BITCOIN-convert", alts are out of the game.

Overall I think it's a good idea. I haven't tried the website yet on PC, but on my phone it looks clean. However, there already are a few websites showing a price average of BTC (which includes CMC, the most popular one), so I'd recommend you to think about something unique to add to your website so the CMC, Preev etc traffic would transfer to your website.

thanks for your reply and suggestions, i am keeping working on it!

Suggestions:

  • Night mode.
  • Add function to your conversion symbol [⇄].
  • Remove everything [on homepage] apart from the calculator itself and simply add those respective pages into your header area instead.
  • Make your calculator bigger on desktop mode [similar to how large it is on mobile version].

Found a visual bug:

- If you type 1.5, 2.5 and etc... in "Amount" field then click "Convert", you'll get the following error [having said that, it does show the accurate prices]:
Quote
! Please enter a valid value. The two nearest valid values are 2 and 3.

hi SFR10,

thanks for your feedback, I see indeed most people prefer a cleaner and bigger calculator. I am working currently on a redesign of the homepage to make this possible.

hi robelneo,

thanks for your message! I hope bitcoin-converter.com will become a great addition to the bitcoin ecosystem

13  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoin-converter.com on: January 15, 2020, 08:44:42 AM
I just pushed a new version online at https://www.bitcoin-converter.com/ including the many requested instant converter
14  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoin-converter.com on: January 15, 2020, 08:32:59 AM
Looks great, I would suggest adding an embeddable price widget so users can place the widget on their personal sites. This can also give your site promotion and free backlink.


hi BitcoinBarrel,
thanks for your reply, this is definitively something I want to add
15  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoin-converter.com on: January 15, 2020, 08:09:37 AM
1. Find a shorter and better domain name.
2. Make the conversion instant (without the need of clicking the convert button).
3. Add smaller units. (mBTC, Satoshi's etc.)
4. I know you're probably doing it for SEO but you should avoid filling the page with FAQs, descriptions, and random articles. It's clear what your website does, it's self-explanatory.

Good work on your side OP CryptoCoen , but as Omega said, you should keep it REALLY simple.

Look, I've been using the same service since 2014, never used any apps or whateer. Why ? They've always kept it BEYOND simple, even their name is oversimplified.

I'll just put it here since I guess it's already well known, but you may want to take inspiration from it.


It's instant ( no button) , it does what it should, you may check it at https://preev.com 

They never went ahead and tried to turn this into something bigger, but let me tell you one thing : I visit this website maybe more than Coinmarketcap, so we're talking about a lot of daily visits, and god knows recurrent daily visits means a lot in this day and age.

This could be golden, so you never know.

Keep the good work.

hi californiaquail,
thanks for your reply! preev.com is indeed a great inspirator Smiley

I think his domain is pretty good, especially for seo purposes. Second one is really good advice but at the same time also he has bitcoin conversion table where all prices are shown. Also if you checked, he has that option on prices that are shown on top (but make it like to get rid of web refresh).
Random articles are great choice from his side to my mind but these articles mustn't be really random, I would include articles which are written about bitcoin's price that includes weekly analytics, really hot news and other important ones, news that may be beneficial and interesting for a person who is looking for conversation rates. As an example I can tell you recent news where it was written that Bitcoin is selling for 24000$ in Iran but he has to refresh them very often.

hi shield132, OmegaStarScream,

thanks for your reply and input. It is nowadays quite difficult to claim your spot in the search engines Wink 
The articles are right now focussed on getting in and out of bitcoin, so they are not really random, but also not clear either I understand. Definitively something to work on!

hi Bitcoin Community,

This is a project I started recently, an easy 'go-to' place to quickly check bitcoin prices on the most popular exchanges. Eventually, I hope this will become a place to learn how to start trading on these exchanges.

The idea is to keep it simple, attract and make Bitcoin easy accessible for newbies into Bitcoin.

Is there something you would like to see or you are missing when you check the bitcoin prices? I would love to hear your opinions. A review on Trustpilot is also appreciated.

https://bitcoin-converter.com/
It would be nice if the result is shown right after completing filling the input, and there is a option to show result of all exchanges.

hi tungaqhd,

thanks for your advice, I am working on this for the specific calculator pages https://bitcoin-converter.com/calculator, but might be something to add to the homepage.
18  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoin-converter.com on: January 09, 2020, 01:08:18 PM

OP, if you do this (and you should, imho) - instant and automatic, then please consider putting the result also at the start of the web page title.


thanks for your reply, on the calculator pages this is already implemented https://bitcoin-converter.com/calculator/?from=BTC&to=USD
will add it on the homepage too.
19  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bitcoin-converter.com on: January 09, 2020, 12:55:39 PM
nice tool.
I am and maybe Indonesian people will happy when you make exchange currency into Rupiah (IDR)
my local exchange has API to implement into your tool when possible, https://indodax.com/downloads/BITCOINCOID-API-DOCUMENTATION.pdf

hi 50Cent,

thanks for your suggestion! I just added IDR, also Polish Zloty (PLN) and Ukranian Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH)
