Bitcoin Calculator

[kcrazy]

Hi all!

I have just started to build a calculator that converts any amount of BTC to its equivalent price in USD. Also USD to BTC.
Like i said, i am just beginning to code this website, it only supports USD for now.
I need suggestions for which exchange currencies to add, just few important ones.
Also, since i am new to bitcoin, what other data is must necessary to be provided to end users.
I am studied few APIs, if you have any idea, I also need help to choose the best API.

The hyperlink is http://bitcoincalculator.co

I will post updates when available.


Thanks

Bitcoinaverage is fine if you want to give a global rate, you can use different rates from different exchanges and let the users choose. It would be interesting to do a cron job to get an update of the price every minute and use it instead of sending a query on user side.
You should know that using bitcoin average means that in the case someone dumps bitcoin on a low volume exchange, you will get a fake rate, you should use the exchanges directly, here is a small list :

I got it from coinmarketcap, you can also directly use them to get an average rate.

Regarding the features, maybe you can add different currencies and widgets.

OK! This is a good start and you can improve it of course.

Firstly, of all research if you can convert/calculate the bitcoin to usd and vise versa in real time without needing to touch the button to convert (like google)

Secondly, I would suggest to add more currencies and this would increase the complexity of the website which increase the productivity (like converting btc<=> eth <=> fiat)

[btccashacc]

So this is only works for 1 Bitcoin or higher right? I've just tested your site and tried to input 0.1 or 2.1 Bitcoin but the result is " Not a valid amount" comparing to my favorite Bitcoin calculator over there you can check even for 1 Satoshi, sometimes people want to calculate a decimal amount since calculating decimal amount is kinda hard, just my suggestion it is better if your site can check decimal or amount that lower than 1 bitcoin.

I really did not take notice of the average rate and possibility of fake rate. Thank you for your advice!

You are absolutely right. My script allowed digits but ignored decimal points. Thank you for pointing that out!

Adding more currencies is definitely a good idea. But about real time conversion, i omitted because i wanted to minimize api calls. But ultimately, real time data is the most required feature. I will find a way to minimize api expenses. ok. Thank you so much!

Great idea, but you are late about 7 years with realisation of this idea. I think that such services already in place. I have this calculator in my Android bitcoin wallets for exmple

A price ticker as image could be handy for some. Something like 1USD = BTC

send request when a user stopped typing. add setTimeout 1 second to onChange event for example.

I like the simple design

You are right, but let he try.

It is always good to encourage people on developing different tools, even if it already exist (preev.com), different providers are always good, and it is good for education and exercise purposes.

Good idea, but it would be better to request the convertion rate from the server instead of requesting infos from a provider on user side, just a side note.

Good start, I like your site, simple and easy to understand. Suggestions for converting to altcoin as well. For bitcoin prices on the site it refers to the price where?
I will wait for the latest announcement from you.

Thank you for suggesting altcoin. Perhaps, it is better idea to include altcoin as well. The price is provided by BitcoinAveragae for now. I also have credited in the footer section of the site. May be i should put it on top somewhere for more visibility. Thanks again!!

[Rahar02]

Well, at least you have tried to, appreciate your efforts. And simplicity is a good idea as the ultimate sophistication.
As there are a lot of bitcoin calculators, it's good to try add some features such as altcoins-bitcoin exchange rate and add more currencies such as Euro, Pounds, jpy and cny. But, I realize api expenses is an obstacle to develop further, hopefully you find a way to maximize your service.

Altcoin-bitcoin exchanges was also suggested previously by others. So, i guess this feature will somehow add some value to the application. I think I will take your suggestion to add other currencies like Euro, Pounds etc. Thank you very much. I appreciate your help!!

[jhenfelipe]

I couldn't see how it really works, it keeps on loading after clicking the button and not giving any result. I don't think it's a connection problem since I could stream online without a buff. Is it just me?

PS. A preev-like site would be good, leveled-up with altcoin would be better. You got pretty good suggestions from others so good luck.

[TheCoinFinder]

You are almost good to go for your currency converter but it is lacking of altering other usual currencies.
Kindly add Euro,GBP also to make it look like a good converter. Later you would have to bind altcoins like ether,litecoin
