Here are two BTC tools that I have recently liked and used:

1) viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/  <--- a tool to push along (speed confirmation of) small trx where fee payment was only BTC0.0001

2) the taint analysis tool at blockchain.info (when looking at a specific address)  <--- to check effectiveness of BTC mixing


I too look forward to seeing other BTC tools of interest.

Type :Android/iOS/Desktop
Explanation : wallets bitcoin and altcoins ( ETH, ZCash, ETC, LTC, DASH, augur, DAO) https://jaxx.io and related with exchanger https://shapeshift.io/

I hope it can be accepted. Thanks

Wallets are known and I thought they shouldn't be listed , I could add them If people requests them though. I hope you guys follow the format as posted and give in depth details otherwise I can't add anything.
@ETFbitcoin I added both sites you mentioned and change the format as you requested too. Feel free to add anything If you have something else.

When I was a newbie, my first coin was btc and my first alt was ETH.

The very first faucets I visited gave me free dust but in varying denominations of satoshi, umBTC, gwei. Can be confusing but still use this site every now and then to find out exactly how much BTC is 300 gwei.

Hey!
That's damn cool!
Does it really work? That's really excellent, I can use that on a daily basis!
I try to put the right fee in order to not have to wait to much of course, but you know sometimes you just didn't the huge pic of transactions!
Or you wanted to put a low fee to go slow but cheap, and you're able to accelarate by that!

You used it?

Yes, I have used it, about 8 or 9 times.  It works great!

Two people here at bitcointalk told me (in other threads) about this service when I was having trouble getting BTC out of my blockchain.info app on my iPhone.  It would not let me send out "normal" amounts of BTC, only very tiny amounts (say BTC0.0015 or so).  The app also included a BTC0.0001 fee (not possible to change that fee in the app), which is now considered very low.  So I was having trouble getting such tiny BTC trx confirmed in a timely way.  Until they told me about the ViaBTC service.

Highly recommended for tiny transactions.

I have added both bitcoinfees and blockonomics and I will be adding more this evening. I request everyone to stay on topic please otherwise the thread will be a mess. If you have questions about specific services then you should open a thread on service discussions and not here.

Well, I think BTC's so great that it doesn't need any tool. I didn't know any of the different services listed above, nor do I have any use for them. Frankly, all you need is a wallet.

Your site doesn't look like Its working , I'm waiting for like 20 minutes and the statistics are not moving , not even a bit.

I disagree , some tools are definitely useful to keep track of price , nodes and stats such as mining difficutly , SegWit adoption and more..
I will be listing all the mentioned sites by users in the next a few hours (only the ones that actually works).

[OmegaStarScream]

CoinDance , Tools.bitcoin.com , WalletExplorer and Bitnodes has been added to the list and I'm waiting for more tools to add them. Again , this thread is not for discussing the tools but just for listing them , If you have any question about any of them , just make another thread and I or anyone from the community would be more then happy to help you out .

preev is a good tool to check bitcoin prices ,I also use
https://youmeandbtc.com/bitcoin-converter/convert-btc-mbtc-bits-satoshis-usd/

"This is the absolute best Bitcoin converter for any Bitcoin conversion, like BTC to USD. Bitcoin units include BTC, mBTC, bits, and Satoshis. Fiat currencies include USD (US Dollars), CAD (Canadian Dollars), EUR (Euro), GBP (Great Britain Pounds), and AUD (Australian Dollars). The available altcoins are LTC (Litecoin) and ETH (Ethereum)."

they  have an android app too
I used it to convert mbits,bits,satoshi into  traditional 0.00xx btc format before I learned to do it in my head

It is getting updated within a second on my side, it have some heavy graphical representation so may be it is taking longer time if you have slow internet.

I'm not really comfortable with preev, because some btc/fiat price is not updatable, for example btc/idr.

I remember site which can find bitcoin merchant around your areas:

Code:

Name: coinmap

Link: https://coinmap.org/
Description: website, looking for merchant who accept bitcoin around your areas.

I don't if this is really a tool (I would consider it one), but here is a way to find Bitcoin ATMs near you, this includes European ones:

https://coinatmradar.com/

Unfortunately "BTMs" tend to charge high fees (13% is typical), so higher than localbitcoins.com.  But, if the BTM is working, they can be convenient, and you don't have to set-up meetings with strangers.

[OmegaStarScream]

Hey OP, i found few typos at your thread. These typos at tools.bitcoin.com and Bitnodes services, it should be tools.bitcoin.com and https://bitnodes.21.co/ not http://url=https//coin.dance (wrong URL) and https://bitnodes.21.co/[/ (HTTP 404).
Also, it would be great to give warning that this thread isn't for discussing the tools.

I fixed the issues and I also added a warning on the top of the original post , hopefully people will read it this time.

I would really appreciate If you could follow the posted format , as for the service mentioned , how updated and active is it ? I don't want to list If It doesn't get updated frequently.
