I would like to have a widget on my desktop (or in the navigation bar) where I can see the price of a couple of coins. The tool should allow to configure three, four or five coins out of list (perhaps you can use the coinmarketcap API).

I mainly use MacOSX but also Linux and Windows from time to time. Perhaps, there is a platform independent framework to build it.

Do you mean something preev.com by that watch several Crypto currencies ?


Most useful app is one to monitor BTC address's.  Then you can monitor price, and amount in your BTC address's and not have to have access to account.  So you can view amounts in paper wallets, hardware wallets, hot wallets, etc. And there is no security worries as it only can view.

I use apps like this on my phone to.  It is great tool as I like to be secure but still monitor my addresses.

If I got you right it's something that watch addresses and give you notification when you receive something or you send something and show you the amount on the address and that kind of stuff ?


my idea
the most useful for me is trading aplication, like Z trader for android. but i need more than it.
i think you will be the first if you make dekstop altcoin trader. so we (trader altcoin) can focus at trading.
the aplication use api key from each market, like poloniex, bittrex, cryptsy, hitbtc, huobi etc.


don't make pro version or trial version, im sure trader will send you some satoshi as donation, and support your project.

I was never good at selling stuff anyway , so no worries , even if I do this It will be both open source and free .

You can use a widget with bitcoin price.
Also you can use a feed reader to read all bitcoin news.

It will be hard to push any bitcoin related software that requires a download, because people are rightly concerned about trojans or bitcoin stealing programs. Even so, the thing I'd find most interest in is a live stream of the price of bitcoin without having to visit a website. You could maybe include historical data and price tracker as an easy reference tool. It might already exist, but can it be improved?

As I stated , the program will be Open source and anyone can compile it himself and check the source code so he make sure I'm not trying to steal anything from you or infect you with trojans .
now about your idea , I'm not sure I get you , Do you mean like charts etc ... ? or something like preev.com ?

Yes, something like preev that updates itself constanty combined with graphs showing the past price of bitcoin in US dollars. It would be useful so people can lookup the price of an item at the time it was bought - if they can't remember.

Yeah I suppose that shouldn't be an issue

Could anyone tell me why this topic got moved to Beginners and help section ? It's a project so logically It should stay where it was "Project Development" section .

I guess a mod didnt actually read this and moved it here because it looked like another newbie asking another newbie question.

How about a rainmeter skin with bitcoin statistics? From the obvious price ticker, last day trend to the optional TX rate and TX backlog count. A cool feature would be recommended fee per kB.
