Simple FOREX conversion wouldnt do the trick.
I think a lot of people would be interested in an EUR ticker, say from Kraken, HitBTC and Zyado(The 3 biggest EUR exchanges).

We could convert the index price to EUR, however many of the included exchanges do not support BTC/EUR conversion, do you still think it would be a worthwhile service for your website?

Could you add EUR support?

While Coin Base bases its price on its own internal index, that price as I understand it varies from any single exchange out there so we thought it was worth including.

Looks like every other index. Can someone make a bitcoinwisdom copy. Whenever bcwisdom is down i have no alternative with 1m 5m Chart that can switch between exchanges.

Nice. Did you make this? Are other currencies supported apart from USD? Would be good to see all exchange prices on front screen, and not have to scroll down.

Including Coinbase is kind of like including an index within your index

Hey!

I am using this Live Price Image in the BTC Online Embassy

Thanks Windpath!!
Would be amazing if you will make similar but with candle or any chart included!

Regards!

I like this, good job!   It is clean looking, and doesn't have extra stuff in there (besides what is necessary).   

The way the live price is served is as an image, you can just use the standard WordPress image widget and it works great.

Do you have a WP Widge yet?

That could get you a ton of users IMO.

Horizontal Ticker will be good idea

I love CoinDesk, great site.

The benefit of the CoinDesk ticker is that the price can be updated without refreshing the page, but the downside is it requires using Javascript, which many CMSs (like WordPress) do not support. Also, CoinDesk includes only 3 active exchanges (not counting Gox as they have stopped reporting, not sure why CoinDesk still lists them), and we currently track the 7 largest exchanges trading in US Dollars.

Thanks for the suggestion about including the graph, I'll look into adding a couple image versions that include the small graphs, I think a Sparkline would do nicely...

There's another one on CryptoCoin Charts too.  Probably better for sites aimed at more experienced users, as people who are new to Bitcoin might get confused with all the detail in that one.

Oh, that is nice too.  However, you still have to carry 1) a link to coindesk, 2) a coindesk logo, and 3) two tooltips with 'coindesk' in them.  That is a lot of advertisement to promote for a site which contribute not so much to a web page.  But, I have to admit I like it too.  I might change to that one.

It's good, but I still prefer the one available from CoinDesk, as it gives a nice little interactive graph for prices over the last hour. 

First off, that's not my site.  I don't sell anything.  Not retail - not wholesale.  I just noticed that the price of that thing is highly accurate.  It is very freaking close to bitstamp all the time. I don't know how it's calculated - but I guess from looking it is closely tied to the three biggest exchanges.  Prove me wrong - do you see any price errors on that one?  Didn't think so.  Your system on the other hand is full of eyesore crap.  It is busy and cluttered.  The other one is actually free - unlike yours which comes with 'free' advertising for you.  Hey, you don't have to use it.  I just discovered that it is pretty cool and decided to share with others.  Keep offering yours around - someone without pride will surely take it.  

Not going to address your "hoge-poge mess of advertising" comment as feedback (except from you, offering a similar service and trying to hijack the thread) has been positive overall...

We believe pricing transparency is very important to Bitcoins overall success.

All our index data is public, we list the 7 major USD exchanges included and their last price on the Index site, updated every minute.

What are the "3 biggest exchanges" you have included? Where is your index data? How is calculated? How often is it updated?

As someone selling Bitcoin "retail" as you put it, where do you get yours wholesale? Why should I (or anyone) trust your advertised price?

Just some food for thought...

Again, our service is free, we don't operate an exchange or sell Bitcoins for profit, our only goal is to help people share an indexed price for Bitcoin, and yes, spread the word that the index exists here: http://www.CoinCadence.com/bitcoin-index/

Everything is up and live on the site, get more info here:

Thanks roslinpl!


Would you prefer to pay a little for an unbranded version or a little more for a version branded with your business?


This is a great example of the limitations of existing offers I mentioned in the first post of this thread. It represents a single price put forth by a "retail Bitcoin seller" and is not indicative of the Bitcoin market as a whole.

Our Index is far from perfect, but it is the true average across established exchanges trading Bitcoin and USD.

Thanks!

Here is a 250X80 brand free widget...




Put that in your website.

Interested, I think of it!
Posted from Bitcointa.lk - #23zF0YbrjpeVaq51

Any chance on releasing a branded free version?
Would be more then happy to pay and use this instead of the current one I use on my blog.

I see project is getting upgraded!

Very good!
Thanks Devs!

Thanks for your interest!

PM sent...

If you're interested in including Coinsetter price data, I'd be more than happy to help you get set up to do so.

OK folks, this is a project we are going ahead with.

I'll be adding a page to our public site this week with all the info.

3 sizes are currently available, happy to make more upon request.

Note: The sample code below includes a link back to CoinCadence.com.

Linking back to us is appreciated but not required, you may remove the link if you like.

Have at it Roslinpl, the current size will be the default, more to come on Monday.

Also, while not required (never will be), a link back to Coin Cadence is appreciated

very very nice

May I use it too?
Looks well designed I love it!

Awesome Bitcasino, hope it helps your members out, the 250x125 will be available Monday with some other sizes....

I added your widget on my site already, in "how to get bitcoins" section.

Very nice!

Order accepted

Maybe today, if not today early Monday, I'll add it here when ready.

250x125 would be nice 

Nice! thanks!

Update: 3/25/2014: Public Release: Choose your image and get your code here

Update: 3/24/2014: New sizes available

http://www.coincadence.com/bitcoinindex/ is doing great and it's time to free up some of the data collected for the world to enjoy.

While a full API is in the works, would it be beneficial to offer a simple service for those that want to add current Bitcoin pricing to their websites?

BTCQuote offers a similar service, however it has 2 major limitations:

1. It only provides the price from Coinbase, and a single exchanges price is not indicative of the market as a whole.

2. Adding the price to a website requires embedding Javascript in the source code, something many content management systems (like WordPress) do not allow without modification.

So without further ado... introducing the first ever image based real time Bitcoin price image (BETA!):



The image is updated every time the page it is on is loaded.

It overcomes the above mentioned limitations as follows:

1. The Coin Cadence Exchange Index price represents an average across major exchanges (currently 7, more to come)

2. It can be easily added anywhere you can add an image from the internet using a basic HTML image tag, no Javascript required.

Here is a code snippet to add the ticker to a web page:

Or share it on a forum:

Note: adding the "500x250" to the end of the URL for the image file serves to select the size of the image, only 500x250 is currently available.

The current image is 500 x 250 pixels, I realize this may be to big/small for some applications.

I would like feedback on what other sizes people would like to see, and any suggestions for improving it.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, I hope you enjoy it
