Topic: MtGosis - Streamlined OS X trading/ticker app (Read 3643 times)

I love the idea! Can't wait for it to be open source too. About those people who want a Menubar app that's just a menubar app I have taken the best parts of the BitTicker project on github, mentioned above and built a binary here if you want to try out. When I learn git and have time I will put the source up there.

Pre-Built Binary of BitTicker with wallet calculations and total of those calculations.

You can get the pretty much same thing at the github repo below but without totals, no biggie so get it from here if your worried and add it later on.
github.com/trishume/BitTicker

Source needs one change to be functional - The mtgox url in source of the repo above needs to be changed to the new style: http://data.mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php - that was one of the reasons I posted the pre-built so people could try the app.

Posted version above has totals too of those values entered.

Sorry to post it here but someone mentioned it above and I thought others should know about the new features.

I am going to contact you soon seventoes as I would like to collaborate on something if your interested, again, sorry to step on toes! Will delete if you want. Just wanted to let others know about the new features of bitticker branches... + kind of get some interest in developing my btc menubar app. Much different than these. Need a dev like you though or someone as skilled.

I do like this!

Its minimal and nice...

Here is a suggestion though:
Because I only want to use this as a ticker, I only require the readout that appears in the Menubar... It would be cool if i didnt have to have the 'app' open and sitting in my dock while I am only using the menubar part. I hope that makes sense. (an example could be dropbox using it if you have that installed?).

Another suggestion could be:
When you click the menubar item you get a dropdown displaying multiple currencies/24hr average/last price/high price/low price etc.

Great work anyway keep it up!.

Quick update!

Version 1.1.1:

* Fixed a bug that would cause the app to crash when reconnecting
* Updated the menubar text to be more appropriate
* Clicking the menubar item will now correctly invoke the app

here is a nice open source ticker too

Awesome!

Thanks for the reports! My thought behind using the bitcoin symbol was that it indicates what the ticker is for, while a dollar sign could be anything. It probably does make more sense to use a dollar sign though, since that's technically what the price is.

I'll check out the menubar icon clicking not working correctly.

It's not open source quite yet, but I'll probably release the source here soon. I would want to clean up a bunch of half-finished code before doing that

And yes, if you don't give it any API details you can still use it as a ticker. To make it just a menubar ticker, just turn on the menubar ticker in preferences and close the main window.

I can help you on one of your questions, It works absolutely fine without any MT Gox details.

So, open-source or not ?
Didn't find any kind of source link on the website.

Added to my todo list, thanks!

Nice but could you add the option to select different currencies?

GBP in particular! .  

Very smooth looking!

Nice !

Is it open source ?

I think my little hobby project is finally in a state that I can call it 1.0! I posted about it almost a year ago and got a pretty positive response. I've added a couple of the suggestions from that thread for the 1.0 release, and fixed a bug that caused streaming to not working at all in the last release. I hope you guys enjoy!

I make no guarantees that it won't nuke your account, but I've been using it myself for a few weeks and it's been working great. Let me know if you find any bugs or have any more feature requests.
