Topic: Free Javascript library keeps Bitcoin prices reasonable compared to market price (Read 1782 times)

I created a Javascript library, and thought I would post it so others could use it, and possibly get suggestions from the community.

I saw that Bitcoin prices on many sites quickly got to be unrealistic, so I thought that a simple, plug-and-play Javascript library might be useful in the community.

Imagine the following automatically updating:
  • A news article discussing the rapid increase in Bitcoin prices:
    Bitcoins have been skyrocketing, recently seen going for USD/BTC.
  • An instructional article:
    Say Jane wanted to give John a sweatshirt for his birthday.  She transfers mBTC to his account.
  • Rough estimations of value:
    The price will be calculated after you submit an invoice, currently it would be around uBTC.
    Minimal donations of mBTC are requested.

The prices update about every 5-10 minutes, and can be embedded in BTC, mBTC, and uBTC, and as shown above, can be the current market value (or a certain amount times the value), or calculated based on non-BTC prices, and the source is distributed on a global CDN.

Website, with copy-paste usage.

Would anyone find this useful?  Does anyone have suggestions for changes?
