yes but that looks pritty gay,

Don't worry, electronic devices have notion of neither sex nor gender.

Exactly my thoughts. Thank you for pointing that out. I just can't express how stupid people appear when they use the word 'gay' in a demeaning or negative sense, ha.

Theymos, unban my account.

Get a programmable LED display and have it pull data from whatever exchange you'd like. It could make things easier to have different exchange rates scrolling accross. Personally, I have the "Litecoin" widget on my android. Despite its name, it allows you to pull data from various exchanges and it's not just Litecoin data either.

simply search "cheap wifi android phone"

then install a bitcoin ticker on the phone.. and your done

I don't see why you could not use your phone, ipad, ipod or other similar device. There is no real reason to need a device specifically to display the price of bitcoin. With iDevices you can even change the settings so that the display does not shut off automatically after x amount of time.

With that being said it is kind of unhealthy to be monitoring the price of bitcoin that closely.

yes but that looks pritty gay, looks like its in a picture frame or something

Now now... Don't be picky on the aesthetics. If it does its job well then there shouldn't be a problem. If you didn't want it to look 'gay' then you should build one yourself.

google android watch forgive my 5 minute edit to change display to a ticker, but having a watch with an android app on it is cheaper and easier than a raspberry pi and a screen. plus less cables are required

yes, buy a refurbished smartphone (like galaxy s3) ... download app and wifi and plug to charger permanently.
more cheap, more simple.

Phone? Why not use Rasberry Pi? But maybe you're right, phone is better for casual peasants. Wink

Looks nice, although why not just buy a small portable lcd like this one?

You could use it for much more than just BTC price! For instance have communicators on it while you're gaming, watch bitcoin charts and so on.

This should be in the market place.

why dont u just install an app that overlays over everything you are doing. I am sure there is an app that does this. and is it really that hard to alt + tab and look at the price? play the game in windowed mode and have a BTC ticker that updates in your system tray.
