I developed simple string-to-png service (inspired by
Realtime BTC to $ service). You can use it to:
- show amount of bitcoins received by specified address
- show external text data (such as blockexplorer stats) in forum posts, signatures or static site pages
- obscure email address from spam bots
Usage:
[img]http://ansrv.com/png?s=<string or url>&c=<font color>&b=<background color>&size=<font size>[/img]
Where
- s - string to be displayed, or url of string to be displayed (up to 200 chars)
- c - font color, 6 hex chars
- b - background color, 6 hex chars
- size - font size (1-5)
All arguments except
s are optional. See also:

If you find this service useful, please let me know. In that case I would keep it running, refine & polish the source code, publish it to github and maybe add some new features.
