quick link to the converter]
I've been working on a price converter that
generates an image and automatically updates with the exchange rate. This is perfect for when you are selling something and want to post a Bitcoin price that changes as the exchange rate fluctuates. You can also use it to post the value of 1 BTC so people can see the exchange rate on your website or anywhere else you like. It began when I was helping out with a "for sale" thread here on the forums, but since then I've been slowly expanding it and adding features as time permits.
Please let me know if you have ANY ideas or suggestions for how I could improve this tool.
Awesome 2.4 Update (3/1/15): Color Support!This should be self explanatory but I think it's pretty darn awesome. Now you can make the image fit in with whatever your website's theme looks like. As usual, if you're willing, please take some time to test it out and let me know if you find any bugs. Thanks a ton!
2.3 Update (7/13/14): Just finished a fairly major code update. You all won't really notice the changes, but I need some people to test it out and let me know if you find any bugs. If it ever gives you a strange result or an error or anything, please tell me. Thanks!
Medium 2.2 Update (6/28/14): We added support for bits too, which are 1/1,000,00th of a Bitcoin.
Smaller 2.1 Update (1/31/14): There is now
a tool for the lazy people who want to convert between BTC and mBTC (and now bits, Satoshis, USD and Euros as well).
Big 2.0 Update (11/18/13)I have made it MUCH simpler to generate a URL for any conversion you like. All you have to do is make a few selections and the URL will be automatically created so you can copy and paste it wherever you want.
It looks like
this (very old screenie - see lots of new details above).
Hope this helps everyone! Simply visit the main page to try it out.Note to BCT users: This forum's fail of an image proxy does not allow you to pass more than one PHP variable through a URL. This means that you can choose a value to convert but everything else goes the the default settings (Coinbase rate, USD, etc.) This still works but can be annoying. Complain to theymos if you feel the need. Or simply use this tool on any other website. This seems to have been fixed, so now the converter should be perfect for anyone posting prices here! No Javascript or anything necessary - just a simple image!
If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know.
Donations to this project would be darn wonderful if you're willing.
