[OSX] BTCPrice Ticker for OSX Menu Bar

[string]

Nice work I want to share with you a project that also supports wallets, although manually, put you can keep a table of wallet btc amounts and their corresponding value in USD. I didn't make it just took the best parts of the later BitTicker projects and put them together. So if you want a source without the totals go to the link below at github.

Pre-Built Binary of BitTicker with wallet calculations and total of those calculations.

Posted version here has totals too of those values entered.

No Totals, only difference, still the table and picture explains it all.
github.com/trishume/BitTicker

The mtgox url in source of the repo above needs to be changed to the new style: http://data.mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php - that was one of the reasons I posted the pre-built so people could try the app.

You can get the pretty much same thing at - Nice app but ugly as sin table. I wish I knew a coder who could make this nice, I would pay for that so if you have the skill let's make it happen and share with everyone!

Sorry to post it here but someone mentioned it above and I thought others should know about the new features.

Dev, if your interested in doing some freelance work let me know. I have a nice idea for a bitcoin menubar app with mockups and everything that I would like to get paid and share open source. Cheers! Nice app! I am very impressed!

Sorry to steal thunder, just want to let others know that I need good coders, hopefully dgarrett has the time but if not anyone who is familiar with coding os x apps please let me know. Looking for designer and coder although I have a mockup but not really something useful other than an idea. All open source of course. Never make money off a btc project, hopefully others might pitch in and donate towards the cause if interested so let me know if you fit the bill any way shape or form and let's make the best menubar app ever!!

to @string (BitTicker)
How can I change currency symbol ¢ to $? thx

[string]

Download the source, go into the BitTicker Folder and find

If you would rather show a different currency and have it be accurate you need to change what info is taken from mtgox.

Folder/File
-------------

Code:

BitTicker/StatusItemView.m
currencyFormatter.currencyCode = @"USD"; // Tells what to display, find your code.

BitTicker/MtGox.m
http://data.mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php?Currency=USD // Put this line in or it won't work due to api changes. Put in currency code you want instead of USD.

This is not my project, I just wanted to share it with you all. I had financed the addition of wallet feature for my own use. If others who can code and want to make some money have time I have a bitcoin related app I want to get made.

If I find the time I will help you out and upload a build. But for now I am slammed. The above info should get you good to go though and working.

Yeah. Thanks everyone. It's definitely encouraging to see the support the community gives to people who make stuff.

(I'm not sure about Litecoin, and I've been a little busy recently. But I'll consider it.)

Credit where its due!

I'd definitely like to see feature updates LTC and other suggestions are good ideas (wallet balances). As this so far has earned you some decent $$$ you should consider scheduling some regular dev time to this!

Awesome project! I really liked it!

I liked it so much that I wanted to expand on it. I've taken the liberty to fork your Github repository and add multiple exchange support I've left comments in the code to make it easy to add additional exchanges - I've added five of the larger ones (see below).

I've also added a bit where you can toggle whether or not trailing zeros should be displayed. This allows for a more consistent display, even when the price fluctuates to round integers.



I've sent you a pull request on Github to take the edits into the master branch (here).

After testing the additions thoroughly (and resolving the issue that not all marketplaces have a uniformity of currency support) I feel it is ready for release. Perhaps this could be a candidate for release 1.3!

EDIT: You can find a pre-compiled .app in my branch as well: Click here to download. I took the liberty of assigning it version number 1.2b.

Great app!
Thanks, loving it!

I know that you'd like to keep it as a simple price ticker, but a couple of basic alarms one could set on it à la http://www.bitcoin-tools.de/# would make it perfect imo, also is there a way for it to always open on comp start up - I find that I have to go to Apps & open it each time, but I'm geek lvl 0 so may have missed something on that.

Please make it show LTC as well

[saddambitcoin]

this thread is getting confusing, everyone should create their own thread if you ask me

but this is a Bit Ticker question, I installed it and want to add my own BTC address for monitoring, but I can't copy+paste, so how do i add my own watch address?

Would be awesome if you could add BitCoin-24.com API to BTCPrice

API:

Code:

https://bitcoin-24.com/api/EUR/ticker.json
https://bitcoin-24.com/api/USD/ticker.json

_______

@Joost: Your version is AWESOME!

Glad you found my addition useful

For those of you unable to compile it from source, I figured I might as well upload a release candidate (as long as it hasn't been pulled into the main release, anyway). Do note that it might be a bit buggy with Bitcoin Central at the moment, as that market is currencly frozen.

You can download it from my branch here

tipped! thanks!

Please make it show LTC as well

+1. This should be easy as you have a feed from btc-e.com already.

+1 as well. Soon the LTC feeds from Gox will go live too hopefully.

I'm back on a PC again for a while and really miss this OSX ticker, would it be possible to make one or adapt it to work with Win 7 please, failing that or until then can anyone recommend a Win 7 ticker that is guaranteed to be trustworthy, many thanks.

Has this project been updated recently?

I've been running the same version for months and still seems to be working great.

+1 awesome app. I would love to see a litecoin price next to the bitcoin price.

[joesmoe2012]

I'd like to see more than just one exchanges price listed.
