Make it available for GNU/Linux under an Free Software / Open Source license and then I will be interested, otherwise I will pass.

It would be cool if the background is much darker (dark gray or black) with the green line of chart.

Can you add virwox ?
the conversion is simple : BTC/SLL divide by EUR/SLL (or USD/SLL)

example : 180001 / 329,2 = 546 Euros for 1 BTC.

Thanks for you comment, I'll add it to the update to-do list  Wink

Hi bitcoiners BTC,

After being in bitcoins (particularly mining) for quite some time now, I've noticed myself checking the bitcoin value alot throughout the day.
I decided to code my own application, so I didn't need to keep my eye on the bitcoin price and keep re-opening the charts on the internet (after closing my browser session).

As we all know; bitcoin is a continuously developing project, and I would like to contribute just a little bit by making this available to download!

The software is a standalone executable (portable  Smiley) and has a .NET 4.0 dependency.

Features:
  • View current price (top left corner)
  • The chart is zoomable & pannable.
  • Change the refresh interval and chart time period.
  • Save chart as image.
  • Print chart.
  • The form is resizable (completely, in both directions).
  • Alert on drop or increase.
  • Alert on percentage change or value change.
  • Alert using messagebox, tray notification and/or sound.


The Ticker supports four exchanges:
1. MtGox
2. BTC-e
3. Bitstamp
4. LocalBTC

I have implemented three currencies:
1. USD
2. EUR
3. GBP

Please tell me what you think and leave some comments. Wink
I'll take any suggestions to improve the software!

Note. This is the first version, I haven't been able to test this completely.


Download link:

binary:
version 1.0: Click me!
source:
version 1.0: Click me!

The source is not very beautiful, but I will rewrite it if you guys like the program! I made it with the thought I wasn't going to release it.
Please note my binary will be 361 kb and the compiled binary from the source will be 512 kb because I made the binary smaller by using a simple packer. Roll Eyes

Changelog:
  • v1.0 is released

Known issues:
- At some pc's the chart is empty at startup, but pops up after 10-20 seconds.

Thanks to:
bitcoincharts.com for the chart info. They made this application possible. Smiley
ZedGraph for the chart library.
