Hello,
Very nice website! I've been meaning to go through my addresses and figure out what's what with all these forks. People will really like this.
As for suggestions, I guess when you are able add some styling over the basic bootstrap code, but that's appearance, not functionality (so in my book it's lower priority). Honestly, I'm not the best when it comes to UX, I leave that to the amazing graphic designers, but maybe you're better at it than I am. Or maybe you can find someone that's willing to help your project by giving you some fancy CSS and/or template HTML to drop in.
I think the idea of having prices would be awesome, but I read and understand what you mean about the extra overhead and API calls. Possibly a compromise would be to set up a separate cron job to run on a periodic basis (hourly maybe), that would grab the current price for each coin and then you could do the math based on the balances. It's not real-time but it's a pretty good gauge of the price if it's just an hour delayed, and that wouldn't add too much overhead I wouldn't think.
The only other thing I can think of off-hand is, here's the ad that displays here on the forum about a wallet splitting service:
I think I know what most of those ticker symbols are, but not all of them lol. But I assume these are the forks that are worth anything, guess Bitcoin Pizza didn't make the cut? Anyway, if and when you can add any of these that you don't have to your site, that would be super useful. Of course, if this ad is showing a coin that is worthless, I wouldn't bother taking the time to put it in place, certainly not if you're running any nodes for this unless you have the infrastructure to spare. But if there are any other coins besides those that you've listed that are worth anything, might be something to shoot for to add them in.
Also, I'm not sure how your code is structured, but if these forks continue, might be good to have it so that adding new coins is pretty plug and play.
Best of luck with your project! Oh, can I tweet out the URL to your site? I'm sure others will like this service.
Best regards,
Ben
