Are they awake in China? Tool for determining timezones in a country

[aretheyawakein]

Hi everyone,

I am new here but I just wanted to mention a tool I just created that I thought might be helpful to people doing programming, trading, etc. around BTC. Feel free to send me feedback and/or use at your disposal!

This is the main site:
http://aretheyawake.in/

You can put any country name after the slash, like:
http://aretheyawake.in/china

And it will show you the Chinese timezones and whether or not it is 6am-10pm.

You can also put in IP addresses, like:
http://aretheyawake.in/87.4.5.4

If you want to get a plain text status, you can do:
http://aretheyawake.in/spain:status

If you want the country too, you can do:
http://aretheyawake.in/87.4.5.4:status-country

This would be useful if you had scripts, like PHP, running against it. You could use file_get_contents() to gather the results.

I also have, aretheyatwork.in, which works the same way, except operates on 9am-5pm instead.

This is a really useful little tool, I'm surprised nobody commented here yet. I'm never sure when a continent/country/whatever will be awake generally, and this helps a lot with it.

[SirChiko]

Quite simple and usefull tool.
Does it have all the countries saves or only the big ones?

[benzenen]

Great tool. I like your tool. I will have a try it. Thank you very much !

[hugs1BTC]

It is very useful for trading people. You could put a timezone selector on top so different times can be showed right next to the flags. Thank you.

3 words only

simple, great & cool

[Amph]

really good would come in handy when the alt scene was still profitable, i was searching for something similar in that era

does it include the passage from summertime/daylight to normal time?

[hugs1BTC]

You mean daylight saving time?

That IP check is pretty cool actually and for the lazy non-googlers the country parameter is pretty neat also.

Would be awesome if you could check your fellow posters somehow lol

The site looks pretty useful. Last year I did a little survey for my site I really could have used a service like this one. A mobile app like this could be really amazing.

[achow101]

Many country on this site and very useful.
Thank you!

[CryptoCanary]

Thanks! I have use for this!

I wonder if that's really accurate since there are many special cases when you're dealing with timezones as a programmer.

Why China in the subject of this thread? Why not Europe, USA, Russia?

I guess it's just an example with no real reason behind it (or maybe it's because most BTC volume is traded in Renminbi currency)

Wait... This thread is in 2013! At that time most BTC is traded in USD and EUR! Also the site is still up after 1 year and 4 months, it is very good for such a site. BTW why this is in the Beginners & Help section? Why don't it be in Service Announcement or Off-Topic?
