Topic: Bitcoin Exchange Watcher program V 1.5.2 [Open source] - page 2. (Read 12135 times)
Works fine with my slightly larger fonts now. Is it possible to give the option always keep the window in front or to show one of the prices as an icon in the tray when minimized? Then I could always know the price of bitcoins at a glance.
Yea the app was great as is but you have really excelled with the converter add-on. Donation will be coming your way shortly.
Thanks
Thanks
Version 1.4.6
A currency conversion tool has been coded for the program now. I have enclosed both the ability to convert from bitcoin - another currency or how much bitcoin could be bought with a certain amount and type of currency.
Currency conversion is done via google's api and only requires the 3 digit currency code such as GBP or USD or CAD etc etc...
So now you can find out at a glance how many bitcoins you could buy, or how much money you could get from your bitcoins.
Enjoy another updated release.

Anyone got any feedback for me on the current state of the program or the progress its taking.
Comments, questions, feedback?

Updated to version 1.4.4 to include saving/restoring/resetting of your settings. Also you can now choose the delay that the program will retrieve fresh exchange rate information (default 10 seconds)
V 1.4.1.1 has been released. Check the first post for change details and a new screenshot. 
Regarding adding balances though, at this time I am unaware of any way to "post" information via AutoIt3. This would be required to make the API login to receive information.

You can,
Something like :
Code:
#include
#include
$Header = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
$Host = "www.website.com"
$File = "/whatever.php"
$URL = "http://" & $Host & $File
$PostData = "name=steve"
$Socket = _HTTPConnect($Host)
_HTTPPost($Host, $File, $Socket, $PostData)
$recv = _HTTPRead($Socket,0)
MsgBox(0,"","BODY: "&$recv&" ERROR: "&@error)
_HTTPClose($Socket)
yea its hypothetically possible but it would mean manually going in and editing all the GUI again which has to be edited in text plus then do all that specialized manual http connection code which is far too much. Plus it would only work for people using mtgox any way. At least this is the market in general so that people can then trade on what ever sites they like to trade on. If it were built in to AutoIt3 to be able to "post" then I would use it, but that takes too much memorizing and I hate copy/pasting code from sites to do things. Im a "either I understand it and can do it every time any time, or I don't do that" I hate copy/pasting code so much because it is not "my" code or something I can write from scratch.
You have altered your windows settings to use large fonts or something and altered the title bar buttons size which is reducing the amount of space for the text. I have been working on adding some check for the bug I fixed to make sure it hopefully won't occur with something else. Plus I have been working on a way to make it not alert you erroneously when the API link has too many connections going to it. I also reduced its connections to 1 per 10 seconds.
I have also done my best to resize things so "most" things will fit on your screen but I can not guarentee this because you are not using standard windows settings. The only way I could 100% fix it would be to make all the text very tiny so that it appears normal size on your screen which would result in it being useless to 98% of everyone else because the text would be minuscule.
I hope this version works better for you. Download link in the first post.

Can you give me a printscreen of it please so I know "how" to fix it.

is it cut off from the edge of the window, or are parts inside the window cut off.
Running on a 15.6" 1920x1080 screen and the digits are partially cutoff. Could you allow the window to be resized?
Bug has been fixed! (I hope...) 
working on a bugfix for a recurring issue with an array. I am not sure what the issue is, everything I try and fix it with is not having a beneficial impact at all. I am continuing to work on this.

This is a wonderful program. Thanks so much! 
Nice sound effects, but the two different alerts should give different sounds. Duhhh!
Bid = buying at, Ask = selling at. The bid goes on the left. People read left to right, and the smaller number goes on the left. Might as well use the standard trading terminology and lay out the screen in the way people expect.
The screen should be much smaller, so it doesn't waste screen real estate.
Sorry to keep harping on user interface issues, but if you want people to use the program, good UI is more important than good programming. If you have good code and a bad UI, they'll use your code and write their own UI.
I was looking at the API... looks like it would be easy enough to add a settings screen for a user ID and password, and display the user's current BTC and dollar balances. Then you could sound an alert when the balance changes. That would tell the user when one of his open orders executed. Heh, this is starting to look like a framework for a trading bot.

Thanks for this - nice little gadget
Well considering on the site they say "That's it. Now write a bot!" I would say yes. Nowhere on there does it mention anything about limiting your accesses.
Is mt gox cool with you making a request every couple seconds?
