Bitcoin price ticker for your desk

What it shows

CryptoTicr is a Bitcoin ticker for your desk: a small, bright screen that shows the live Bitcoin price all day, without you picking up a phone.

With Bitcoin on the screen you see its logo and name, the price in US dollars, and a row of figures: the 24-hour change, the 24-hour trading volume, the market cap and its rank. Below them is a chart of the price over the range you choose: 24h, 48h, 7d, 14d, 30d, 60d or 90d, each counting back from now.

Every 24-hour figure is rolling: the last 24 hours counting back from this moment, not since midnight. The ticker fetches fresh numbers each time Bitcoin’s turn comes up.

Options

Bitcoin can have the screen to itself, or share it. Add up to 12 coins from the 1,000 largest and the ticker takes them in turn, or shows two or four at once.

Between coins it can show a card on the whole market, including Bitcoin’s share of it, labelled BTC dom.

You choose the chart ranges, which figures appear, the colors and the brightness. Everything it can do is on Features at a glance.
