bitcoin price in any currencies, but any currencies prices in bitcoin? #21

Open weedcoder opened 10 years ago

weedcoder commented 10 years ago

Is it possible to have widgets with currencies prices in BTC? like:

If 1 BTC = 500 EUR (and 1 EUR = 0.002 BTC or 2 mBTC) We can have a widget like [500 EUR] But we want a widget like [2 mBTC]

actually the job is done with NMC/BTC pair for example.

veken0m commented 10 years ago

Hmm, so basically you want to be able to flip the pair?

The pairs currently listed come directly from the exchanges but I guess I could add a toggle in the settings (or during widget creation) to flip them. This way it won't clutter the currency pair lists.

Now I just need to figure out how to let the user know what fiat currency is being shown in BTC... Any idea on how I could do this? For BTC-e I can append the 3-char symbol to the exchange name but it would be too long for any other exchange...

Does something like "x,xx mBTC/CUR" could work?

veken0m commented 10 years ago

Good idea but that's still too long to fit on the widget. If I shrink the text a bit and replace "BTC" with "Ƀ" I could maybe get away with something like this: x,xx mɃ/CUR. I just need to see if the character will display properly on Android.

Ƀ is good! or mBTC/€ (android is ok with existing currency symbols, doesn't it?) or uglier lowercase 3-char, your choice :)

btw the problem of thousands doesn't apply in our case.
