BTC Currency Calculator [Delphi 7 - Full Source]

[bitfreak!]

I looked around for a decent BTC currency calculator/conversion app but there didn't seem to be any so I took the chance to waste some time and create something a little bit more user friendly and also flexible enough to cater for more advanced users. I won't bother writing up 10 paragraphs on it because I've wasted most of my day on it and the picture basically makes it clear (it also has an inbuilt help file). It uses the bitcoincharts.com weighted prices for calculations (source URL can be changed in settings but must return jSON data formatted exactly like bitcoincharts).

Version: 0.1.0.1b Language: Delphi 7 Requirements: * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * Internet Connection Download: You can find the latest release here: Bitcoin Tools

I have implemented support for a couple of new bitcoinchart currencies such as the AUD dollar. Anyone with the old app will probably need to upgrade.

Too bad I cannot use it because I don't have windows :-( . But the fact that it runs on Windows is a good thing! If bitcoins are going to become mainstream then people need to start writing bitcoin tools for systems other than Linux / BSD (OS X). Thanks for your contribution!

Well since it's made in Delphi 7, it wouldn't be overly hard to make it work on Linux machines. I can't be bothered doing it, as I don't really use my Linux machine much. But if anyone does do it, let me know.

I agree, and the software also needs to be simple and easy to use/understand. I always enjoy turning something complex into something simple.

If you used this application you may have noticed it would crash every time bitcoincharts would add or remove a currency. I have updated this application once again so that this problem no longer exists. It will simply adapt to most changes in the jSON structure.
