[x] Get exchange rates directly from providers (not the ct-api-server).
[x] The provider should be configurable

Where should this information be shown? The admin area? Or in the display payment address screen?

polto commented 5 years ago

Hi ! I think it should be in the admin area with a possibility to add currencies and price sources.

For example I will connect my CryptoTerminal to https://Bity.com merchant interface and I would like to have an estimate in BTC for a specific CHF amount using https://doc.bity.com/backend/v2.html#estimate-the-input-amount-corresponding-to-an-output-amount

Exchange rates are currently gathered from coinbase.com (all except XMR) and poloniex.com (XMR only). I propose a new setting in the admin area to allow choosing the source of exchange rates. Some possible providers to look at: bity, poloniex, coinbase, bitfinex, bitstamp.
