I don't have much else to go on with, sorry. Check your settings, check exchange URL (try accessing it from the browser as well)... did you change any other setting apart from the exchange URL?

Accessing Bitstamp API through the browser gives back the jason string (as you would expect). So i assume i am not blackflagged or anything at Bitstamp.

Settings are checked to exhaustion.

Really dont know where to change anything anymore...

If you just spin up additional new instance of the gadget, use all defaults and just change primary exchange URL to what you provided, it should work (it does for me). If it doesn't, it's possible that your IP is flagged by CloudFlare as suspicious and requires captcha which gadget doesn't know how to solve.

I have multiple instances of the gadget runing. Checking Bitfinex, Kraken, Polinex. They alle work. The only one that does nod its Bitstamp.

What is "CloudFlare"? How do i fix the "flagging" there?

Strange. Most exchanges use CloudFlare (Bitfinex and Poloniex for sure) and I'd expect them to fail as well in this case.

CloudFlare is a CDN service exchanges use to fight DDoS attacks. As it's calibrated to recognize humans, it will sometimes prevent gadget from accessing the APIs. Typically, a sign that your IP has been flagged if you're asked to fill in captcha before accessing exchanges or some sites on the web. Often happens if you're using shared VPN to connect. Unfortunately there's no way to whitelist IPs or fix this apart from changing the IP (most ISPs rotate IPs every 24h).

I am using the newest version of the gadget and i dont seam to be able to manage to configurate the tool to show the last quotes from bitstamp.

here the data i use:

https://www.bitstamp.net/api/v2/ticker/ethusdason.last

MyBitcoins gadget has been working fine with the settings you posted for GDAX, but it's changing to CoinbasePro the end of the month. I'm using the new page now and it's pretty stable. Would you be so kind as to post the settings for the new page for MyBitcoins? TIA.

From what I see, CoinbasePro "Developer Platform" links to old GDAX documentation which doesn't mention that domain will change, so I assume that API will continue to work as usual. If at any point they decide to change the API, please let me know and I'll post updated settings - I'm not using them myself.

Of course it's good to use Windows if the operating system is on a mobile device too. But how do users who use Android for their work act? Are there any apps for gadgets on Android?

I have no plans to make this gadget mobile. But there are a bunch of alternatives for Android: https://thedroidguy.com/2018/05/5-best-bitcoin-ticker-widget-app-2018-1079691

OK, that makes sense. I'll try keeping it running when rebooting and see if it comes up in the same config. Thanks

I'll have to experiment a bit more, but it seems that when it's closed down and restarted, it reverts to the default settings. Any way to keep one's settings "sticky". I use items that often require a daily machine reboot.

When you start it, you basically "install it" and when close it you actually "uninstall it." There is no need to close them between reboots and they keep their settings between reboots by default as long as you don't close them. That's how basically all Windows gadgets work.

You can have several instances of MyBitcoins gadgets if you want - just start several. If you want to "hide" all gadgets, you can right click on the desktop and uncheck View / Show desktop gadgets, and you can bring them back (with all settings preserved) in the same way.

That did it. Now appears to be working correctly. Thanks. Sent BTC to your address.

BTW, might be a good idea to make the alarm go "DING" or some similar sound when it's triggered. TIA.

Not sure what I'm missing, but setting green alert at 8000 and red at 7600 when price is showing 7576 should make something change color, but it doesn't.

In that case, you should see price in red. Green alert appears when price is higher than 8000 (which it is not), and red alert when price is lower than 7600, which it is, and at least for me it correctly shows the price in red. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you, it's a pretty straightforward logic not dependent on anything else but the price and alert settings, at least for fixed alert setting.

If you want to see green alert, set it to, say, 7000 - but clear red alert as it overrides green alert if both are active (typically, red alert is supposed to be set lower than green).

Thank you very much. GDAX settings working nicely. Display still not changing color however. current price is below 8000, but when alarm is set to 8000, no color change. Using the latest version, 4.2.

There are two alerts with different behaviour - red alert and green alert. If you set the green one to 8000, it will trigger only after the price is above 8000. Try setting the price to 7000, or using the other alert.

BTW, alerts don't seem to be working with Bitstamp. What's supposed to happen; color change, audio alert?

Price number changes color to green or red. For example, right now BTC price rate is around $7914. Set red alert type to fixed, Alert when amount is lower than: 8000 and when you exit settings, price should become red.
