This is great thanks so much!! I know they're pretty close but could you add Canadian dollar as well?

Since it's not dealing with sensitive stuff, do you mind telling us a little bit about the build, like are you using blockchain.info or something on the backend or running your own bitcoind (duh, like bitcoind would have given you the price, not sure what I was thinking.)? What's the platform/framework?

Awesome stuff, Wonko. And like the other posters said, fast as hell.


Definitely: the pricing information is coming from mtgox, the total hashrate is coming from blockchain.info, and the future predictions are coming from data from blockexplorer


Cool little site.  Just a suggestion:

Instead of showing the total hashrate in thousand gigahashes, why not just show it in terahashes?

"139.35 THash/s" looks more reflective of the network hashrate than "140k", IMO.


That could make sense, the only thing is that the text needs to be small enough to fit in the box.  I'll play with different formats and see how it looks!
