Bitcoin Unit Converter:🔁Convert satoshi, mBTC,Finney, bit to 170 fiat currency

[bitmover]

A friend in my local board requested a tool like that that supported USD and BRL.

I liked the idea and decided to expand it, to support a wider range of currencies. I decided to use this API which supports 170 fiat currencies. I believe that's all currencies in the world. I also included xau(gold ounce)

This tools converts satoshis, finney, mBTC, uBTC to any of the supported fiat currency.

For now, this tool supports the following fiat currencies:

Code:

  Supports: AED, AFN, ALL, AMD, ANG, AOA, ARS, AUD, AWG, AZN, BAM, BBD, BDT, BGN, BHD, BIF, BMD, BND, BOB, BRL, BSD, BTC, BTN, BWP, BYN, BZD, CAD, CDF, CHF, CLF, CLP, CNH, CNY, COP, CRC, CUC, CUP, CVE, CZK, DJF, DKK, DOP, DZD, EGP, ERN, ETB, EUR, FJD, FKP, GBP, GEL, GGP, GHS, GIP, GMD, GNF, GTQ, GYD, HKD, HNL, HRK, HTG, HUF, IDR, ILS, IMP, INR, IQD, IRR, ISK, JEP, JMD, JOD, JPY, KES, KGS, KHR, KMF, KPW, KRW, KWD, KYD, KZT, LAK, LBP, LKR, LRD, LSL, LYD, MAD, MDL, MGA, MKD, MMK, MNT, MOP, MRO, MRU, MUR, MVR, MWK, MXN, MYR, MZN, NAD, NGN, NIO, NOK, NPR, NZD, OMR, PAB, PEN, PGK, PHP, PKR, PLN, PYG, QAR, RON, RSD, RUB, RWF, SAR, SBD, SCR, SDG, SEK, SGD, SHP, SLL, SOS, SRD, SSP, STD, STN, SVC, SYP, SZL, THB, TJS, TMT, TND, TOP, TRY, TTD, TWD, TZS, UAH, UGX, USD, UYU, UZS, VEF, VES, VND, VUV, WST, XAF, XAG, XAU, XCD, XDR, XOF, XPD, XPF, XPT, YER, ZAR, ZMW and ZWL.

I think this tool is useful, and I haven't find any other similar to that in the web. That supports a wide range of currencies and you can easily convert between units.

You can type a value in ANY of those input areas to convert.

I hope it is useful for anyone.

just click in the image below to use it.

Please tell me if you find any bugs. It is possible that I have put one more 0 (or less) somewhere. To many zeroes and values

Nice work, the site is useful and also very easy to navigate. I use a couple of currency converters, but none as robust as this, which can also serve as a block explorer and a balance checker.

I noticed a part which I suspect to have been a typo, generously seemed to be a better fit;

Please tell me if you find any bugs.

Not sure what I'm about to mention is a bug or it's just me missing something but I noticed selecting/changing some of the fiat currencies, leads to a slight change in all of the input fields in the right section ^{[bitcoin, bitcent and etc...]}.

• Default ^[before]
• After selecting BRL

I already forget cBTC and Finney unit exist

Maybe it's because with price fluctuation (between USD & another fiat), which change USD amount & also change BTC amount.

it seems that here only the value of the USD field is untouchable. Only after refreshing the page do we get a new current Bitcoin price.
IF we can't or no need to edit this field, for example, "alert" components or maybe it's better to use "input-group" ^[Bootstrap]components where you can fix some values.

Thank you for your comment, just fixed.

This is a limitation of the tool. I can "fix" by reducing precision. Just did (You probably won't see changes for a few minutes due to caching.)

The API I use only works with 2 decimal places. But USD BRL is not just 5.46, but 5.4587698 (something like that).
When you multiply 5.46 * 16000 those subcents units make that difference. I forced bitcoin field to 6 units instead of 8 and it is now 1.
It looks better now (1 BTC), but when you go to smaller units like uBTC you get  1000000.08.

Edit: I changed to another API with better precision. Workibng slightly better

Thanks your comment.

OP, you know that you can add more than one domain there?

I know. But I only have this one for now

Do you think it would be better to keep those pages in separate domains? Like bitcoinunitconverter.com ?
Thank you, I am having a lot of fun and learning a lot working in this domain.

Website is looking great and I love the dark theme, but maybe I would move Bitcoin and crypto units on left side, and dollar with fiat currencies on right side of the page.

1 satoshi is 1000 millisatoshi. At the moment it says 10.

Using the arrow keys to navigate up and down the menu of fiat currencies is out by one. For example, if I click on Czech Koruna (CZK) and type in 100, I get a USD value of around $4.50. If I then press down to Danish Krone (DKK), it still shows the exchange rate for CZK. If I press down again to go to Euro (EUR), if then shows the exchange rate for DKK at $15.90. Similarly, if you scroll up you end up out of sync by one in the other direction. A minor point, but could cause some confusion.

Well, two domains mean 2x more work on promotion, optimisation etc... it can slow down opportunities for monetization. For now, the content type is compatible, but if you make some significant changes to the page structure, it can give you a lot of unnecessary work to customize this page as well even if it's finished and functional.
Now I looked a little more, wasn't there some analysis and stats for Bitcointalk forum?
Yap, web development can be very interesting when you peek inside a bit.

I will shoot a few posts on my TW accounts to promote your page

Fixed (Just disabled those arrows

I agree. I want to see how it goes.

For example, if my mempool pages gets lots of access, I can create a yourtxinthemempool.com or something like that. Or btcunitconverter.com

but for now, I have so little traffic that it is not worth and it would be too much work.

Now I looked a little more, wasn't there some analysis and stats for Bitcointalk forum?

Yeah, but I couldn't keep it updated. You can still access using the URL https://bitcoindata.science/supertable.html
I am learning more about API and databases, maybe in the future I can keep it automatically updated and I will put it back online.

Thanks. That was a good idea.

Found another bug. Well not really a bug but definitely can confuse users.

Steps to Reproduce:

- Open the Website
- Click on Select a fiat currency
- Select any currency and you'd see it doesn't get updated to that currency's value until you double click.
 
Basically, selecting a new fiat currency would change the current title but not update the value in the text box next to the dropdown until you click again.

[bitmover]

- Open the Website
- Click on Select a fiat currency
- Select any currency and you'd see it doesn't get updated to that currency's value until you double click.
 

I could reproduce by using the keyboard only.
I think it is much better now. Thanks

Nice website. I have been a regular user of Peerv.com as I often need to compare BTC prices with USD (Other currencies are not for me) now I can use it to convert satoshi also (which preev) doesn't allow.

[Lucius]

I already forget cBTC and Finney unit exist

I have to admit that until now I didn’t even know there was a unit named after Hal Finney, and I’m just glad it existed because he totally deserved it.


I personally like how the site is designed and I think it can be very useful to anyone who wants to see how much BTC is actually worth in its local currency. I also like the part where you can check the current state of mempool, and see where we can expect our transaction to be positioned considering the fee - maybe just to mark more than 3 blocks on the graphic display, so that even those inexperienced users know what awaits them if they pay a fee 1 sat/vbyte.

A nice website and nice bitcoin unit converter. I contribute the topic I knew and had my contribution with its format: [Did you know?] Bitcoin Table of Units

[bitmover]

[Did you know?] Bitcoin Table of Units

This is a copy-paste from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Units
I decided not to mention all those formats, because most of them are not used anymore. Even cBTC is not used anymore as it is too much money already...

Additionally, Tonal Bitcoin (which is almost half of that table) is basically an altcoin within bitcoin blockchain and it not support by any relevant client.

Edit: Its representation is not supported by any relevant client.

I selected "AUD" from the drop-down menu and this happened:



I would have thought with the bitcoin value as 1.0 that it would have carried over, however the page seems to have taken the US$ value instead.

Is there a way to have a "clear" button to restore the values to "one" or "zero"

How often do the prices update?

How are you doing your conversions of exchange rates?  Is there a way to select other sites that provide bitcoin (or fiat) prices?

*edit* I've just noticed the "Exchange rates from European Central Bank using exchangerate.host API. Bitcoin price from coindesk." at the bottom.


Have you heard of preev.com ?  I *was* about to suggest you have a look at that site, but it's gone off-line.




Check out xe.com too.



Kudos.

-snip-

I would have thought with the bitcoin value as 1.0 that it would have carried over, however the page seems to have taken the US$ value instead.

This was a design choice.

I have to keep something fixed and change the other values for that to work. There must be some reference value. I choose to use BTC as a reference.

When you change the currency the BTC value is fixed and the the currency price you select is what changes.

The other option would be to keep the fiat value and change bitcoin.
For example, 18,000 USD is one bitcoin. But one Bitcoin in AUD is 24900

If I changed the BTC value, it would convert 1 BTC to 0.68. (looks ok)

But if you change to VES (Venezuela Bolivar) that would be only 0.00000175.

Do you think it would be better to do this way? I can easily change to that design.


Edit: The difference 0.999998btc or 1.0000001 btc is due to very small differences in currency prices. For example, USD/BRL is not 5,3357 but it has a few more decimals. When you multiply that for big numbers (like btc price ) it makes very small differences. I tried to reduce precision but it would bug small values. I will try again to fix it.

Is there a way to have a "clear" button to restore the values to "one" or "zero"

I liked this idea. I will make a 1 BTC and 1 mBTC  button. Do you have more suggestion about btc values?

How often do the prices update?

Every 20 seconds.

How are you doing your conversions of exchange rates?  Is there a way to select other sites that provide bitcoin (or fiat) prices?

*edit* I've just noticed the "Exchange rates from European Central Bank using exchangerate.host API. Bitcoin price from coindesk." at the bottom.

Thanks. I am satisfied with exchange.host
It supports 170 currencies (I added just about 40 because the dropdown would be too big, it would damage navigation). If you miss important currencies, let me know. I can just add them to the dropdown list.

[Timelord2067]

These are all just thought bubble/suggestions, you're welcome to run with them or not as you see fit.

It supports 170 currencies (I added just about 40 because the dropdown would be too big, it would damage navigation). If you miss important currencies, let me know. I can just add them to the dropdown list.

Perhaps a box to just type the three digit code (and an optional dropdown menu for major dollar/pound/euro/yen/peso/rouble/yuan/rupee/dinar etc currencies?)

I liked this idea. I will make a 1 BTC and 1 mBTC  button. Do you have more suggestion about btc values?

Just a thought bubble, not a request - a "clear all" button restores the 1 BTC = X US$ - I might have a think about other buttons for quick actions.


I don't use anything except "bitcoin" eg 1.1, 2.3, 0.007 etc or, satoshis 2345, 5678 etc sats as I've seen attempted scams where one user is talking milibitcoins but only pays "bits" or something similar (can't recall specifics just off the top of my head)

I do like the milisats for LN!

If I changed the BTC value, it would convert 1 BTC to 0.68. (looks ok)

But if you change to VES (Venezuela Bolivar) that would be only 0.00000175.

Do you think it would be better to do this way? I can easily change to that design.

Because the fiat amount is the only one that can change, to my way of thinking the amount that was there (eg €23.45 gets converted into the newly selected fiat eg £20.99) and I like the US$ as the "standard reference value!


Another suggestion:

Code:

£ $ ₹ € ¥ ¢ ≠ ÷ ™

Perhaps adding currency codes might help if someone doesn't speak any of the languages, they can still navigate by recognising £ $ ₹ € ¥ ¢ for the major currencies?

Nice website. I have been a regular user of Peerv.com as I often need to compare BTC prices with USD (Other currencies are not for me) now I can use it to convert satoshi also (which preev) doesn't allow.

Almost perfect timing, sicne preev has recently gone down, could see a momentum shift in the amount of visitor especially if preev isn't back online within a few days. Personally, and I know this isn't that bad, but the domain choice seems quite long to type out, since I tend to avoid using Bookmarks. That would probably be the only criticism without extensive testing to see if there's any kinks, but the interface seems decent to me so far.

I like the suggestion, but isn't there a few currencies which use the same sign? Like Canadian dollars, uses the same sign as American Dollars? I think most people that speak different languages are familiar with the abbreviations of each countries currency, even if they don't speak English, because of its dominance in the world, and being dubbed the language of the internet a few times, its fairgly common for people to know USD, GBP even if they aren't familiar with the language.

Thanks . That domain and all of its projects are a brain storm. I didnt plan those. I am learning javascript and writing them at the same time. I still have some ideas and improvements to implement.

I agree about the domain name. Maybe I should split and make a bitcoinunits.net bitcoinbalance.io or whatever
I will see if I get more access.  If I do, I will do that. For now I have low traffic...
