Bitcoin: Should support the "m btc to usd" and "n usd to btc". We already have WolframAlpha, but it's a bit slow. #431

We currently support "bitcoin eur" which just shows the buy and sell value. We should also add the ability to convert.

It doesn't have to use the same end-point. Checkout other Bitcoin API providers such as Coinbase.

I guess this is working now, right? ;)

I mean I see the following queries working: 10 USD in BTC outputs ฿0.02 (bitcoins) - $10 (US dollars). 2 BTC in USD outputs $1172.52 (US dollars) - ฿2 (bitcoins). 0.2 BTC in DKK outputs 652.85 kr (Danish kroner) - ฿0.20 (bitcoins). 100 DKK in BTC outputs ฿0.03 (bitcoins).

@ScreapDK I think Jag's intention is that the Bitcoin spice should handle this, currently the answer is given by WolframAlpha

@mintsoft You're right about that. :)

Changed the subject of the issue.

Great! Got it! (... 2 weeks, but didn't have time to reply.)

jagtalon commented 10 years ago

Should be fixed once https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/pull/983 gets merged.
