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

[Kakmakr]

Now that Preev.com is down, I had to look for other currency converters and I am glad I found this one.. because it is pretty good.  

Something I would like to see is this :

1. Could you display the currency value on the tab at the top of the window too? So let's say I am in another window gambling ... the price of Bitcoin could be displayed in the tab that is not opened... (So if there is a sudden dump or spike.. I can see it happening..without having to open the window with your converter? (When Preev.com is working again, just look how they did it)

2. I know you created this for Bitcoin, but I would like it if you could add some other popular Alt coins too. (with their units)

I like the fact that all the smaller units are displayed on one page.... because with Preev.com you had to choose from a drop down menu to select it.

Well Done... I like this

Done!
Good suggestion

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?)

In my TODO list

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.

Done!

- 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

Doubt that is fixed. Or maybe you haven't merged your latest changes in. However, I'm still able to reproduce the bug and it's actually quite relevant. Click on the Fiat Current Dropdown and select a different currency, the value of that drop-down doesn't update in real-time. You need to click outside of the dropdown to select a different currency to get the updated value. If you still don't get it, I'll make a video for you while reproducing the bug.

OOOoooohhh ... I like the $10 US button - kudos to who ever thought of that one.  Is it possible that when the $10 button is clicked twice it becomes $20 - thrice $30 and so on?

I found this thread from the Preev discussion when it went down. I like that it's also easy to load.
I didn't even know Coindesk has a btc price aggregator. Is there a plan to give users an option to switch or select which exchanges to use?

The "quick action buttons" is a nice workaround to solve the issue when clicking fiat currencies.

Site bookmarked!

I would like to thank everyone for your great support and suggestions!

Where is that discussion? Can you link that to me?

Hum, maybe. I just need to think more about it, because there are so many exchanges. Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bitfinex....

I did that in another button. and made a +1mBTC as well. Check it out

Which browser are you using? I wasn't able to reproduce. I will appreciate if you can make a small video.

examplens gave the link to your topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5290493.msg55617935#msg55617935

No rush if you have no plans yet. It's up to you.

Design updated. Added a few more currencies.

Now input boxes are all darker to match the dark theme style. Hope you guys like it.

Still open to suggestions. Thanks everyone for using.

Wow, what a nice tool to convert Bitcoin to other fiat currencies. As i checked this tool. It is convinient to us that always convert Bitcoin to a currency. Great. Thanks for this wonderful tool.

[bitmover]

I added support to a few more fiat currencies:
IRR
VND
ZWL
GNF
LAK
UZS
SLL


I will probably add support to all known  170 currencies soon. I though that would be bad to usability and interface (as the dropdown list woudl be too big), but I keep receiving requests to add more currencies.

Instead of a drop down menu, perhaps just type the three letter code for the coin/token which would narrow down the selection (i.e. type "S" and all codes with "S" appear, type second letter "X" and just those with "SX" appear).


Just a side question are you open to a suggestion for something else on a fresh page?  I have an idea but I don't code/have the resources to do it.

I thought about writing it. I even made a version of that page but I didnt like. I will try again.

Sure. I am open to suggestions.  What do you think about the fresh page?
I'd you think about new tools I can try to make them as well.

You can set it up by default with geographical location information from guests. From the geographical location, your tool will assign the currency for guests. If guests use VPN or Tor, it is their problems and they must to choose their currency manually.

I use currency conversion sites mainly when I am going to trade. They are the sites that everyone really needs. When I examine this site, I see that it is very useful and the transitions are comfortable. I saved it to my favorites. Thank you for adding the Turkish lira.

I Just added support to 170 currencies, and I included XAU (gold ounce) as well.

I will move gold to a separated input later on.
Enjoy

I'm having a glitch where the USD and one of the bitcoin values has a red box around the values - plus, if I enter e.g. 60.00 in the fiat box (say for Euro) the value changes to 60.03, 59.99 up and down depending on what the US$ price is instead of keeping the Euro price fixed and the others vary with the price update.

I couldn't solve that so far.
This is a limitation of my data. As there are too many conversations from different sources the values are slightly different when converted.

Sometimes the ratio from two currencies is not precise in usd and then this make those imprecisions. I tried to reduce the number of zeros but it bugs elsewhere. everything is so connected there.

I will try to solve along the week..

Since you support converting to so many currency, i wouldn't mention all of them at the page and would simply write "Support 170 currency" or hide list of supported currency with details HTML tag.

I thought this would be good for Seo, but maybe a hidden layer can do the job.

Sure. I am open to suggestions.  What do you think about the fresh page?
I'd you think about new tools I can try to make them as well.

This one might be a little bit controversial and might take up too many resources (and may not have much in the way of need for most people) but here goes.


There was a site a while ago (forum thread) that would extract forked coins from various bitcoin clones using the privkey provided by the user.  Basically, you went to the site, it checked for any coins accessible on chains and, once you provided wallet addresses where those forked coins could be sent (wallet or exchange), the privkey was uploaded and then the coins sent to the wallet addresses provided.

I tried it a couple of times and was able to extract various bitcoin variants that were then sent to exchanges, sold for the going rate and then the remainder that weren't sent (because I didn't have a wallet address to send them to) were burned (I'm guessing they became dust or were burned).

I've thought about if for a while and think there were some inherent "trust" issues, plus, what became of the dust etc?

LoyceV has a walk through thread which hasn't been posted in for the last six months.  When I asked them about creating a site, I got this reply:

have you ever though of creating a similar website / app which people could use themselves?

Nope, I don't have the skills to do that, and most forks are worthless by now anyway.

This is a process/approach I would take:  (apologies if my terminology is not the standard terms used)

• New user arrives at site and is issued a token. User must also create their own password (12?-15? digits).  The token and the password encrypt everything that then happens so that no one else can access any remaining funds at the end of the process.  User clicks pop up / check box they have written down token and password in a safe place and won't share etc.
• Either on arrival or after token issued, user checks wallet addresses for any remaining funds.  Pop up or check boxes throughout the process the user acknowledges the risks involved.
• User enters payout wallet addresses for various forks and is asked to confirm those wallet addresses. (back-end check wallet addresses are valid for the fork involved)
• back-end: due to the excessive number of forks, a user may not have access to wallet addresses for all forks - a user at this point can either "burn" coins with no wallet address, donate to the website, or, those funds are held until the user returns at a later date with a wallet address to recover those remaining forked coins. (hence the token plus password).
• User repeats process for as many wallet addresses as they see fit.
• User selects payout time-frame - instant (higher TX) top of the hour, daily / some other time-frame e.g. once per week ?? - This enables the back-end to make multiple payouts at the same time and consolidate funds at the same time.  i.e. funds on site plus users' funds combined to become payout to user and change address (two in, two out)
• Once user has checked the balances of all wallet addresses and entered payout wallet addresses, the user is then required to begin uploading privkeys which are verified (back-end regardless of how many payout wallet addresses there are, all funds are swept/shifted out to new wallet addresses and are held in a pool of funds).
• User can return to the site with their token and password and view the remainder of forked coins they haven't claimed and either repeat the above process with new privkeys, or, post wallet addresses to be paid out the forked coins with the relevant wallet addresses.
• Fees ... IDK the site I used charged 10% which might scare some off.  1% might be more attractive, but may not be enough to cover maintenance costs.

I'm sure there are checks and balances that I haven't thought of, but this might be a new page that some users will find beneficial.

I don't have the skills to do that. I don't want to handle and be responsible for other people' money as well...

Claiming fork coins is safer using a good wallet with multiple coins support, such as Coinomi. I even made a guide about it a few years ago
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3064698.0

Each fork has its own particular details, and it is very important to look for a good wallet so you don't accidentally lose them.

Thanks for you suggestion, and this one would certainly very useful but I can't do it...  I am still open for new suggestions as well.

With the price of bitcoins having eclipsed $46,000 USD, I thought it'd be worth bumping this thread to give newer users the heads up this tool is available for them to use when looking to do cross fiat/crypto trades either buying of selling.

Every day is an ATH at the moment.
