New version of gadget is available. If you're using it, please download it as this fixes a bug where in certain conditions there are too many requests to the APIs.

Also, default exchange has been updated as Poloniex no longer lists Namecoin.

You can download the new version on the gadget page: http://domchi.cc/mynamecoins/

The new version of the gadget is available. Please upgrade if your target currency field in settings is not blank.

Please note that gadget is using third party API for conversion to fiat. You'll have to register with third party API to continue using this feature (it's free and you don't have to leave any personal data apart from your e-mail). I'm not affiliated with this service in any way.

As of today (14th February 2019), third-party service that is used for fiat exchange rate (if you're using target currency field in settings) is no longer available due to change in licensing terms. I'm working on a fix and will update the gadget in the next few days.

I'd like this gadget to remain simple to use and free of any fees, even third-party ones. Of course, as always, donations are appreciated. Smiley

In the meantime, exchanges are slowly adding different stablecoins and fiat currencies, so whenever possible, use direct exchange rate from exchange if it's available.

Gadgets are now updated with a different conversion API. Please note that the new API has some built-in limits that you should probably be aware of. Exchange rates are refreshed every 30 minutes, so if you're converting from BTC your exchange rate might be slightly off, especially during major price swings. Also, please note that the new API limits usage to maximum of 100 requests per hour. In typical usage scenarios this should not be an issue, but if you use exchange update rate lower than 40 seconds, using "Target currency" field is probably not a good idea.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Yahoo! API has been a good and free service for the past 15 years and I'm sad to see it go.

As of today, Yahoo! Finance has unexpectedly shut down the API this gadget was using for currency conversions. If you're using "Target currency" field you're affected. I'm working to switch to another API, please stand by.

Version 3.1 is now available. The only difference in new version is the new default exchange. As BTC-e is likely not coming back, default exchange is now Poloniex. As always, you can use any exchange you want, so if you're using custom exchange, there is no need to download new version.

It seems that Yahoo! Finance is broken for BTC at the moment (returns N/A and the chart at http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BTCUSD=X is not available).

Back again together with Bitstamp, as they apparently pull data from Bitstamp.

Hi everybody. As the Yahoo! Finance added BTC symbol a few days ago, there is something this gadget can now do it wasn't able to do before. And it works without updating.

If you set target currency in settings, so far conversion was only working if your ticker currency was fiat currency such as USD, as Yahoo! didn't support digital currencies. But as of now, this Yahoo! Finance conversion works when your ticker currency is BTC as well.

This means that you can observe NMCBTC ticker which has more liquidity instead of NMCUSD and have gadget display it in USD.

Hi guys,

new version is available for download. This gadget now has all changes that MyBitcons introduced in the previous, 4.0 version:

  • Trailing stop alerts as price passes set difference from the highest or lowest price to inform you about price reversals. Note that gadget will not buy and sell for you; it will simply change color to alert you. You have to do your own trading. Smiley
  • although originally correction could be a negative number, at some point this stopped working due to incorrect regex which is now corrected
  • if only paid or only unpaid JSON key for pools was used, value was not calculated; a bit impractical workaround to use both fields is no longer needed
  • support for very large or very small values (more than 9 digits or less than 8 decimals) using for example 1G for 1,000,000,000

Hi guys,

since Bitparking Namecoin exchange seems to have died, and it's not obvious if and when it'll be available again, I've updated the gadget with new default exchange, BTC-E. In addition, there's a new note field in settings which you can use, well, to write down anything you want saved together with the rest of the settings.

1.1 update is out.

If you tried using "json" to refer to parsed JSON object in JSON key - sorry, the object was by mistake named "jsonObject" instead of "json". This is corrected now.

Hi everybody! I'm announcing a new Windows 7 gadget for Namecoin, based on my BTC and LTC gadgets.

Miners can monitor their pool earnings, and traders can observe the current exchange rates and value of investments. All features from the previous gadgets are there (connects to one or two exchanges, and up to three pools), plus the new setting to monitor if the price is above or below a certain amont.

I'm here to answer any questions, and for more information and download, please visit http://www.domchi.cc/mynamecoins
