Download the source, go into the BitTicker Folder and find

If you would rather show a different currency and have it be accurate you need to change what info is taken from mtgox.

-------------

This is not my project, I just wanted to share it with you all. I had financed the addition of wallet feature for my own use. If others who can code and want to make some money have time I have a bitcoin related app I want to get made.

If I find the time I will help you out and upload a build. But for now I am slammed. The above info should get you good to go though and working.

to @string (BitTicker)
How can I change currency symbol ¢ to $? thx

Nice work I want to share with you a project that also supports wallets, although manually, put you can keep a table of wallet btc amounts and their corresponding value in USD. I didn't make it just took the best parts of the later BitTicker projects and put them together. So if you want a source without the totals go to the link below at github.

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

Posted version here has totals too of those values entered.

No Totals, only difference, still the table and picture explains it all.
github.com/trishume/BitTicker

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.

You can get the pretty much same thing at - Nice app but ugly as sin table. I wish I knew a coder who could make this nice, I would pay for that so if you have the skill let's make it happen and share with everyone!

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

Dev, if your interested in doing some freelance work let me know. I have a nice idea for a bitcoin menubar app with mockups and everything that I would like to get paid and share open source. Cheers! Nice app! I am very impressed!

Sorry to steal thunder, just want to let others know that I need good coders, hopefully dgarrett has the time but if not anyone who is familiar with coding os x apps please let me know. Looking for designer and coder although I have a mockup but not really something useful other than an idea. All open source of course. Never make money off a btc project, hopefully others might pitch in and donate towards the cause if interested so let me know if you fit the bill any way shape or form and let's make the best menubar app ever!!

Yeah. Thanks everyone. It's definitely encouraging to see the support the community gives to people who make stuff.

(I'm not sure about Litecoin, and I've been a little busy recently. But I'll consider it.)

Yep, thanks for the app! Simple and from now on nicely tucked away in the menubar. Can't support you yet, as there's too much 0's (left and right of the decimal point) but one day I will! 

That's nearly 2 btc in donations = $130 approx so far, nice to see support & recognition being given, congrats OP.

Great Software! donated a few btc 

Love it donation sent, would a Litecoin one from btc-e API be possible with price shown in Bitcoins or $ option, many thanks!

Edit: & when the price refreshes if it could flash green or red for + or - would be cool (see btc-e's pairs)

Darn. I just purchased this app the other day on the Mac App Store that accomplishes the same thing. Wish I had seen this sooner!

Thanks for open-sourcing it anyhow

I've posted a new update, v1.2.

This one has some work done by oleganza, including the ability to switch between reference currencies. I believe this data is still based on Mt.Gox USD and just converted to other currencies, but I'm not sure since the data comes directly from Mt.Gox.

I've also added configurable font size, in case you want it to take up less of your menu bar or if you want to make it bigger and more visible.

thanks for the program,

send you some btc!

How do you install it? In this matter, I have for the last 20 years been a n00b

Damn nice app! Muchos gracias! 

awesome tip!! i am really happy with that app. Thanks Oleganza!! 

i'll check it out, thanks Oleganza!!

I use btcReport app on iPhone, it allows to see up to date value of your coins in other currency (on a secondary screen)

Perhaps Oleganza like this feature enough to get his hands dirty?   

mm maybe i have to learn objective-c and fork your repository then .... seems not trivial to pick up (when reading through your code)...

i saw the solution on blockchain, but its not convenient enough for me ...

I'd like to keep this application fairly simple, and that feature might be going beyond the purpose of a price ticker. I'll let you know if I add it in though.

Change the dropdown at the bottom to USD, look at final balance.
