Biticker - Currency converter for Chrome with Desktop Notifications

[Tritonio]

Added IXcoin and PPcoin. We've almost reached 1000 users. :-)

I hope to make customizable graphs in the next version.

[Tritonio]

Added Terracoin and Devcoin.

[Tritonio]

Quite a few new features:

• You can now select ANY combination of currencies for the ticker (like LTC/EUR, EUR/DVC, EUR/USD etc).
• BTC ticker symbol is now the average BTC price, based on multiple exchanges.
• New GOX ticker symbol is the current Mt Gox price.
• Notifications for price of limits will not show a second time unless the price goes back within limits first.

There might also be new bugs, so if you see any don't forget to tell me about it!

[Tritonio]

New version (2.2) coming up in a few minutes:

• Option sound effects for notifications.
• Bug fixes mostly around the background color of the ticker.

PS: easily customizable graphs will have to wait some more time before I figure out an efficient way to make them.

[Tritonio]

Version 2.3 added support for Ripples (XRP).

EDIT:
Same day update: Version 2.4 adds MinCoin (MNC)

[Tritonio]

Version 3.0.0 is out.

* The long promised graphs are here. They are far from perfect so give them a try and tell me what you think.
* New icon. The common bitcoin icon was... common, so I edited it a little.
* In the options page, you dont' have to click exactly on the checkbox of currencies and the option boxes, you can now also click around them in their cell and it will still work. Should make currency selection easier.

I've got the candlesticks in mind but I need to change some other things first in the graphs. For example if my server crashes for 24 hours, the graphs will PAUSE for 24 hours. And when it resumes generating graph points it will resume from the point it stopped! So the old parts will be "out of sync" sort  of. They will look like they were 30 hours ago (for example) but in reality those points will be 30+24=54 hours ago. I first need to fix this and then I'll probably do the candlesticks. Currently it's just to take a quick glance at what the price has been.

Do not forget that you can always use a custom graph URL!!! So you can go to bitcoincharts, generate your own custom chart and copy the url to biticker! (Just try to add a parameter to make the graph width 700px if possible, else it will be scaled.)

when the icon is red that means bitcoin is down right?

Hello Transisto. Nice to see people sticking to my stuff. :-)

No the icon is always the same. I recently changed the icon to be reddish/lava-ish to distinguish it from the classic yellow/gold icon that many extensions use.
What actually shows the direction of the last price change is the background color of the ticker (the badge) itself. Red for falling, green for rising.

Also you can always switch back to the old yellow icon if you want. Go to the option's page, somewhere near the bottom.

New features in v3.1.0: The custom graph gets tied to the conversion result when you click on some other currency in the converter! If you hover on Biticker's icon in your browser, you can now see the current difficulty too. Also some other minor changes.

[Tritonio]

I added Coinbase Bitcoin (CBS) to the currency list. Updated version should be up in a few minutes.

[Tritonio]

Added Hungarian forint.

[BigLad]

Any plans to add NXT to the list?

Great work BTW!!

Tritonio, Hello! You've made an incredible extension!

My name is Felix Griffin and I represent TeddMarketing agency.
My client is a bitcoin exchange [urhttps://hitbtc.com/l]hitbtc[/url].

Hitbtc was built on top of modern technologies to provide fast, secure and reliable service.

Customers appreciate fast order execution, convenient ways to add deposit and withdraw and competitive client service. Newcomers like intuitive user-friendly interface and easy-to-start platform.

According to bitcoincharts statistics, hitbtc is on 2nd place in EUR and 6th in USD trading volume between all exchanges.

I would like hitbtc to be listed in your extension.

You can find api documentation to add hitbtc to your site here. If you'll have more questions please feel free to ask me personally or hitbtc support.

[Tritonio]

Fixed a couple of failing altcoins today, removed mincoin cause I can't find a proper place to get its exchange rate from and added Singapore dollar after a user request. The new version should be up shortly. Please tell me if I'm missing some fancy new altcoin that you'd like to be added. :-)

(@Felix: not sure how you want me to add hitbtc. It's not a different currency so I don't know what's there to add. I could add it to the BTC average price that I'm calculating but it's not that high volume yet I think, is it?)

Hi! I love this extension, but I found out that bitstamp value does not update correctly.. for instance, it's at 808.4 now, but it shows as 767 on the ticker..

[sabbathhawk]

Very nice! Good work! Thank you for your efforts. it's very useful, will be using it.

[Sampisa]

Hi,
graph is not working any more. I tried to build it invoking directly the url that builds it, but without any success. Is it possible to fix it?
Thanks for the great tool
Sam
