Re: [ANN] App for checking prices from you desktop

There seem to be some issues with this app.

First is that it's Windows-only. I'd love something like this, but I'm not using Windows and I have no plans to start.

Second is that I could not find any source code. How can we be sure that this program will not steal a user's wallet.dat?

"Windows-only": Yeah, sorry about that. I do not know how to make a linux version (I would have done that).

"source code": Never thought about this. I will probably release it today (it is not interesting anyway, no trade secrets to be found in a winforms app ;-) ). Thanks for the suggestion!

Hmm nice little app..thanks

The setup seemed to hang here

but the app was still visible and accessible through the try icon.

Would be nice to be able to remove Euro currency though as its not required.

Cheers

Hm, strange. In this phase my setup just starts the tray app and once it is running continues. Maybe you can send me a screenshot of all processes that are running (preferably in process explorer's tree mode).

Did the setup show a message box (it should)?

[ANN] App for checking prices from you desktop

Hey Guys,

I made a small app that makes it easy to check the current prices in $ and € from your desktop. It adds a tray icon next to your clock that you can click to see the current prices and compare them with the prices 24h, 7d and 30d ago.

I made this app for myself because I found myself checking the current value of my bitcoin 30 times a day ;-) I decided to make it public.

Check it out: http://bitcoin-prices.com/

Tell me what you think and maybe I will add your favorite feature in return ;-)

I did a little app that shows you bitcoin prices in a convenient way and want to announce it in the general forums. Would this qualify for a whitelisting?

I wonder how many bitcoins the founders/early members set aside for themselves because bitcoins were essentially free back then. When you are the only node in the network you control the difficulty.

Funny that nearly nobody answered "silk road" yet this is what the media is trashing us about.

The screenshot looks like the program decided based on heuristics. It detected P2P activity for example. This is probably not a manual black-listing action but an automatic heuristic.

It is sometimes really intransparent what is stored exactly inside of the wallet. I wish there was a comprehensive viewer/editor for wallets.

Re: Mining - Will bitcoin become dominated by trojans?

The problem with the matter is that the value of a single infected PC has gone up now. Sending spam mails is probably much less lucrative than mining bitcoins. I think the incentive is definitely set towards mining. But that need not be a problem for the rest of us at all.
