Useful Desktop Applications for Bitcoin ?

[OmegaStarScream]

So if you have any ideas of some programs that should help users of Bitcoin , please shoot ! I'm open for ideas .
(Projects that I will make will obviously be Open source so there is no need to worry , I'm not here to infect anyone. Just to help the community)

It will be hard to push any bitcoin related software that requires a download, because people are rightly concerned about trojans or bitcoin stealing programs. Even so, the thing I'd find most interest in is a live stream of the price of bitcoin without having to visit a website. You could maybe include historical data and price tracker as an easy reference tool. It might already exist, but can it be improved?

As I stated , the program will be Open source and anyone can compile it himself and check the source code so he make sure I'm not trying to steal anything from you or infect you with trojans .
now about your idea , I'm not sure I get you , Do you mean like charts etc ... ? or something like preev.com ?

Yes, something like preev that updates itself constanty combined with graphs showing the past price of bitcoin in US dollars. It would be useful so people can lookup the price of an item at the time it was bought - if they can't remember.

Yeah I suppose that shouldn't be an issue

Could anyone tell me why this topic got moved to Beginners and help section ? It's a project so logically It should stay where it was "Project Development" section .

I guess a mod didnt actually read this and moved it here because it looked like another newbie asking another newbie question.

How about a rainmeter skin with bitcoin statistics? From the obvious price ticker, last day trend to the optional TX rate and TX backlog count. A cool feature would be recommended fee per kB.

i just imagine if  have dekstop widget,on that widget shown some altcoin price like bitcoin,etherum,dash,litecoin and dogecoin,its will cool and usefull for me to start trading today.

[tyz]

I would like to have a widget on my desktop (or in the navigation bar) where I can see the price of a couple of coins. The tool should allow to configure three, four or five coins out of list (perhaps you can use the coinmarketcap API).

I mainly use MacOSX but also Linux and Windows from time to time. Perhaps, there is a platform independent framework to build it.

[zeaderza]

You can use a widget with bitcoin price.
Also you can use a feed reader to read all bitcoin news.

[notlist3d]

Most useful app is one to monitor BTC address's.  Then you can monitor price, and amount in your BTC address's and not have to have access to account.  So you can view amounts in paper wallets, hardware wallets, hot wallets, etc. And there is no security worries as it only can view.

I use apps like this on my phone to.  It is great tool as I like to be secure but still monitor my addresses.

[CrimBit]

my idea
the most useful for me is trading aplication, like Z trader for android. but i need more than it.
i think you will be the first if you make dekstop altcoin trader. so we (trader altcoin) can focus at trading.
the aplication use api key from each market, like poloniex, bittrex, cryptsy, hitbtc, huobi etc.


don't make pro version or trial version, im sure trader will send you some satoshi as donation, and support your project.

Do you mean something preev.com by that watch several Crypto currencies ?

If I got you right it's something that watch addresses and give you notification when you receive something or you send something and show you the amount on the address and that kind of stuff ?

I was never good at selling stuff anyway , so no worries , even if I do this It will be both open source and free .

almost all of people here suggested dekstop widget with bitcoin or altcoin price real time,that's nice,but i have some program that should bitcoin user have in their dekstop,that is RSS (really simple syndycate) widget from some important site,bitcointalk forum or other source of bitcoin information like cryptocoinnews or coindesk,so we would stay update with bitcoin information without open a web browser.

trading bot!

there are a couple of open source bots but they are not so great.
and the closed source bots are rather expensive, or i don't want to spend on them.
so it would be great to have an open source bot that works with major exchangers

Remember when windows 7 has a Gadget feature?
Did you know that feature still exists in win 8 and 10
Would be cool if you can make a gadget specifically made for Bitcoin
Maybe you can put Bitcoin live price checker that updates every 10 minutes or so
Maybe another feature to check your BTC balance by using blockchain API (Don't know if this is possible)
But hey, it worth the try

When you say live price checker , do you mean something like preev.com ? If it's the case then It shouldn't be that hard to do .
Same thing goes for your second request, however for what comes to the Trading bot it may take sometime since it require a lot of work. It still can be done though, I may work on it after couple of months when I'm really available (All summer).

[btccashacc]

my idea is altcoin price ticker, where you can update altcoin's price from the higher to lowest by the price or volume i mean not only bitcoin's price, we need to update altcoin's price to, and the difference of the price between one exchanger to another exchanger, it's really helpfull than check exchangers one by one

Yep, just like preev does
But you don't have to open browser to just check the price
Since Windows gadgets runs on the background you can still do your daily activities without checking the browser very 5 seconds
And maybe an alert too when the price drops at a certain level or when the price goes up
What Program language are you using to develop this request ?
Cheers

I'm using C# for almost everything honestly (for web,phone,desktop applications) , I just like it .
