or maybe better shorter:

BTC 34.17 - $ 34170

and perhaps 1000 bitcoins is a bad example because its very obvious, but if you own a amount of bitoins of for example 65, then it always takes some time to calculate the total amount you posses in your own currency, so i would consider that a very nice feature.

EDIT:
bw, i just realized that it is probably not a good idea to show in your bar, in case someone looks over your shoulder and sees, therefore perhaps it is better as an item in the menu (and/or a keyboard shortcut).

Gr8 work !! I really like this.

I would like it even more if it had the following feature:

Aside the exchange rate it displays totals.

So for example you own 1000 bitcoins, you can enter this amount somewhere in the settings, now say the course is 34.170, it would (optionally) display like this:

BTC 34,17 - USD 34.170

Obviously it would be possible to show in another currency.

I'll transfer 0.25 bitcoin for this feature.

Thanks for the ticker! I've just added support for more currencies (I check prices in EUR)

Pull from here: https://github.com/oleganza/BTCPrice

Awesome. I actually just found that other Mt.Gox API, but you got to it before me. I'll check out the commit and get it merged soon. Smiley

Thanks for the suggestions and donations (good motivation for adding more features Wink ).

My menu bar is plenty crowded already, so I agree on the size issue. I'll work on a way to configure the number of decimals. Configurable font size isn't quite as straightforward, so I'm not sure when that'll happen.

I'll also add an option to change what the displayed label is. And I'll add the option to show an arrow if the price has gone up or down since the last update.

On the note of "if price has gone up or down since the last update" - I personally don't see the point of this (comparing updates to a single other) since someone selling BTC0.01 will change the "trend". If other's support the idea, then by all means go ahead, but I would find it more useful if it compared the behaviour of the market over an hour or more, which will start tapping into the actual trends of the market. Not sure how best to implement this in order to accurately reflect the 'trend', but it is food for thought, at least.

I made a bit of an update.

You can now configure how many decimal points to show.
For now, I'm just truncating (rounding down) the number instead of rounding normally. I figure people might prefer this so they can see when price milestones are actually passed. So you can set it to 0 decimals and see when each new dollar point is actually reached, instead of just when it gets rounded to the next dollar.

You can also disable the label next to the price, or change it to the ฿ symbol.

Legendary. Good work. ฿0.25 sent  Smiley

Can I ask what is Avg and VWAP for?
btw nice app thx Tipped

Avg is the daily average price.

VWAP is the volume-weighted average: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume-weighted_average_price

And thanks for the tip.

Nice work, changing the font size won't matter so much if we can customise the number of decimal places and the display label Smiley. I wouldn't mind a label that simply says: ฿31.32

Tipped.

I like it, though it feels like there's a few too many decimals. Perhaps truncate it to 3 DPS?


Also, maybe change "Last:" to be the default.

Perhaps the option of not showing "Last/High/Low/etc" next to the price, and simply have the bitcoin logo? (Since we know what price to show as we select it)

looks like we both said the same thing Tongue

Get on it dgarrett, and I'll happily send you enough for a coffee and a pack of chips Smiley
