Bitcoin Price Live

[pooya87]

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.

a browser extension is not a better solution, it can actually be the worst solution. an extension is going to do the same job as opening a tab (like preev.com) to watch the price but with the difference that i can do other things in addition to what you see too.

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.

couldn't you simply use preev, it is in real time, and you don't have too many overwhelming information there, just leave the tab open on your smarthphone

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.

Just open and bookmark preev.com

Why do you need software or application?

Preev.com does the same job,and you don`t have to download and install anything.

To knowing bitcoin price why you are making this much complicated. Just check in google bitcoin price it will give all details including graphs. If you want to check in mobiles or iPad, just install bitcoin app there also you will get all information what about Bitcoin.

Like this? I just coded this after seeing this topic.


I can share the code if anybody is interested.
- I am not in the habit of releasing .exe so you have to compile it yourself.
- The code is written in C♯
- It is less than 30 lines of code (pretty naked and straight forward) and uses an external library (Here) available through NuGet.

Leave your suggestions here and I will dust up the code and release it if there was any interest.

That's nice but I think most people can afford to waste the 1.9 seconds it takes to open a google window. That would probably be nice for someone without working hands like Dr. Stephen Hawking though. Unfortunately, anyone that would need that to be done for them will most likely need you to release an .exe for it. If they could compile it themselves they could write it themselves.

 What's wrong with the gadget I posted?  Did you look at it?!  I'm using it as I type - works fine - though there are no graphs.

Go back to my post and get Domchi's gadget.
Then go to http://8gadgetpack.net/ and download their program which makes it possible to use gadgets with Windows 10 / 8.1 or 8.  After you install that, you can install Domchi's gadget and just call it a widget... or whatever you like

Well I think this is the most suitable option for now and that is what I'm gonna do. Its pretty neat have no cluster of info or anything simple price value.
But If I have to see more information, what's the best place for that? Like to see price value of the past month or week etc.

Try BTC.com extension for chrome. Give in real time the price of bitcoin in several places. Don't have graphics but have to many other data. For me work perfectly.

Good point.
I did this instead of doing /r/dailyprogrammer

I love dailyprogrammer. It's the only good thing on reddit. It looks like you have a lot of fun coding. I did too when I was younger.

Here's a little challenge for you. For the hell of it and because almost the entire world uses Windows GUI make a windows program out of it. Change the application window title bar name to "Bitcoin Price" instead of the default "MainWindow". Give it minimize, maximize buttons and an owned dialog box with "Ok, Remove or cancel" buttons and dialog that asks something like, "are you tired of seeing the price" "click 'OK' to close for now, 'Remove' to stop the automatic loading at windows start, or 'cancel'. 

In the main window place a little calculator that takes any entered btc amount and automatically calculates that by the retreved current Bitcoin price so the user can see how much btc they own in dollars. Make a combo box drop-down somewhere below the Calc with a preloaded list that allows a user to select between multiple sources for the available Bitcoin price (in case eventually one stops being available). Go ahead and compile an .exe for it and code the installation to create a new string value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] that points to your .exe location in C:/Program Files (x86). Don't forget to set the "Remove" button in your dialog box to take out the string value in the registry.

Start a thread here and on Reddit posting your little proggie asking for donations. Make sure to release the source with the .exe. I bet you can easily pick up some coin with it.
