Bitcoin Price Live

[shamzblueworld]

I'm looking for a application of widget that I could install on my windows computer that will show me bitcoin value live with some stats or graphs or whatever.
Like the one on coindesk website, is there any?
Please do suggest whatever you use for this purpose.

if you are on windows why not just open up a browser and watch the price? you can either use the light preev.com to see the price only or you can go to bitcoinwisdom.com and watch the live price with charts.

i have not seen an app just to show the price, but there are bots for trading that have charts and show you the price so you can trade. i don't think that is what you want.

I also pay attention to this model but I haven't yet found it
Hope you can seek a right application for your work.
Good luck to you.

I have not seen one. I think thats a good idea. Im using smartphone right now and im using xapo wallet. Once i open the application the price will show up. But widget is a good idea because you dont have to open your app or browser just to see the price. It will be more convenient and time efficient. Just have to look at the screen and thats it. You're updated at the current price of bitcoin.

Are you looking for bitcoin gadget for your desktop? you will feel difficult to find it, but I just bring the another way, just installing an extension in your search engine like biticker, it seems to be an alternative way for you.

I don't know how the accuracy has offered by them but try to search it more on the google.

I ever see once, it's called domchi, but now looks like it's inactive and I still doubt to use because the site itself contain malicious things.

Well I think better to use it for your smart phone, I used bitcoin checker app, it's very useful for tracking the price.

I don't know if there's something like what you are looking for that we can install on windows PC which is able to which is able to show the actual current price bitcoin . maybe it's much better to just look upon coindesk or some exchanges it doesn't have too many process to do instead of installing a software like that you are looking for we wouldn't know if it has a threat to our computer .

Found one browser extension that may work https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/biticker/fblekdojabihjdhndhmloalbcnnejddl?hl=en
But i really don't like to install random extension in my browser so haven't tried this.

Found one pretty old windows widget that shows bitcoin price but i afraid to download it as it is quite old and also i don't think this one is active http://www.domchi.cc/mybitcoins/

Thanks for the share but I do hesitate to install random extension into my browser same as yours.Ill rather go to website to watch bitcoins price live and theres soo many options to choose from and I don't see any widget that's show bitcoin price and I am searching for that too when I was just starting on bitcoin world.

This opened a webpage that is just overflowing with too much information. Does it have something like a light-weight desktop widget or something similar after registering?

Damn too many scripts running in the background there. I don't like it.

There's an open source app that allows you to bring back desktop widgets onto Windows 8 and 10 called Rainmeter
https://www.rainmeter.net/

Someone made a Bitcoin price ticker for it, though I haven't checked this for malware, use at your own risk
https://www.reddit.com/r/Rainmeter/comments/3zyxf3/simple_bitcoin_price_ticker_skin_oc/

Alternatively, you can just make your own widget for Rainmaker using this code:

There are many applications on google play that has charts pertaining the live market price of bitcoin. But I suggest that you use online site, just search it on google and you can monitor bitcoins price live charts as well as the different bids and prices in all exchangers. As I remember the name of the site is cryptocompare. Feel free to search and explore it if its suits your taste.

There's an open source app that allows you to bring back desktop widgets onto Windows 8 and 10 called Rainmeter
...

there is a reason why Microsoft removed desktop widgets in their windows and you can find out more about it on their website but enough to say that Widgets were a security risk because they opened up ways to your computer for the hackers.

That's true, here's the article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2719662

On the security risks involving Rainmeter, I've found this:
http://forums.stardock.com/407589

I'm not sure if having Rainmeter installed without using any external plugins involves a security risk, that's why I added the code for the Bitcoin price ticker plugin.

Seems to me that the biggest security risk comes from installing external plugins.

It's what you need to watch the price relative to history and it's what the OP was asking for "stats and graphs".

If you want something less busy type "Bitcoin price" into google. I think that's what you're looking for.

OP was asking specifically for an app that displayed the Bitcoin price on his desktop.

On a side note: I guess you haven't read my suggestion since you probably have me on ignore for participating in a signature campaign (source: your signature).

I personally just use preev.com, it's simple, goes in your browser and shows the live value aggregated from different exchanges on the tab so you can keep an eye on it while not having to actively run something on your desktop or whatever.

If you want a desktop tracker, I don't know what you'd use since I don't use one.

[shamzblueworld]

Ok, so no to app or widget. But is there a browser extension for chrome or mozilla? I think that would be equally efficient and handy to have.
Anyone have that or know about any?
I know it can be done via a tab open in the browser but I am looking for a better solution first.
