FPI - Feathercoin price index service
-
What do you think about FTC Price index service / functionality on Feathercoin site. Something similar to [url=http://www.coindesk.com/price/]http://www.coindesk.com/price/[/url]
To explore the FTC exchanges I have create demo with data from btc-e, vircurex & cryptsy and set it online for test here:
[url=http://log.mk/ftcdemo/]http://log.mk/ftcdemo/[/url] & [url=http://log.mk/ftcdemo/?format=json]http://log.mk/ftcdemo/?format=json[/url]
The idea is to create a service that will give us following functionalities:
- Avg. price of the FTC at the moment
- Volume
- Widgets to share across the net
I’ll put the code online as I clean it.
Any ideas/comments?

Looks good, I like the idea! :)

I have added USD conversion based on the Coindesk API. [url=http://log.mk/ftcdemo/]http://log.mk/ftcdemo/[/url]
Code for dl: [url=http://log.mk/ftcdemo/FPI.zip]http://log.mk/ftcdemo/FPI.zip[/url]The plan is to make it modular system with many widgets, API and support for many currencies ( crypto + fiat )
What is included:
- With very small footprint
- Simple caching mechanism for BTC price and FTC exchanges rates
- Easy extendable software library
- To use it on your own server just drop the code into sub directory and give writing permission to the dump directory.
- Code is simple and quite modular so you can create any widgets you want ( data is ours )
- In case you need some update or you have extra ideas just drop me a note

[/quote]I would be willing to give some FTC or USD for an app that displays the live price for FTC at that time.

Check the link at the top it gives the avg. price in BTC and USD. Could be extended for FTC/any currency. [url=http://log.mk/ftcdemo/]http://log.mk/ftcdemo/[/url] This one is with 15 minutes caching also this is configurable. Now if you want push notifications with support for this project could be extended + created a widget that will receive notifications and hold the information in the DB. Anyway it’s up to the users to request.

[/quote]Yeah, it’s well done, but are you able to expand this service yourself? Or is that the thing you need the support for?
Apple still allows ‘‘coin-value-checks’’ in their store so we should get one! -
I can extend for any platform and for any currency ofc.
If you have some ideas or you want something your you can always send me PM and say your proposals for tech. dev.In case we need to make it public for everyone ofc. crowd-funding is option too.

I think this idea is great and would come in handy when people do offline trades as both sides can agree on the price.
-
Def. it’s good option. Just for price checking i think specialized web html5 apps are enough, no need of native mobile clients. Also this could be extended with some graphics ( bars, images,… ).
If more functionality is added then we must consider extending the project to use some more advanced data storage than simple caching on file system.

Slavco keep innovating and I’ll keep donating! 10 FTC + 1rep
-
Thanks a lot!
When have a time I’ll keep adding extra features. Right now thinking of two projects - lite version ( current price ) and db version ( with history in it and more graphics ).
I know google app engine now supports php, so def. creating widget that will run on the client side ( browser ) and not waste blog/site resources or require server side installation will be win. :)
