      I want to built a module wich can show me the actual price of a Bitcoin in €.
      The price should come from the API of blockchain.info via json.

      I used the MMM-Traffic module to see how it works and built my own like you can see in the files below.

      After updating the config file and run the Mirror, nothing happens…
      I dont get any feedback from the node_helper :(

      I would be really thankful if anyone can help me out!

      0_1468526935331_MMM-Bitcoin.js
      0_1468526949170_node-helper.js

        Yes yes yes yes yesssssss please…

        I also would love to be able to track the details of my mining pools even the miners them selves…

        They all have api’s or I know I could use import.io and their api to get the data just don’t know how to display it…

        Bitcoin Price was my first must have module to work out…

        I’d also love a wallet amount display… I think blockchain.info has an api for looking up wallets

        Hope this happens…

        NB: Australian dollar price would be awesome but I’d settle for US lol

              How by the way. Did you write this yourself?

              Modify someone else’s something?

              Awesome.

                I used the MMM-Traffic module as base for learning how the hole thing should work.

                Now i am working on some styling stuff and make it a bit more dynamic.

                BTW: Australian dollar is possible ;)

                I think i will upload it tomorrow evening (CET).

                  Dude… Legend…

                  lol

                  Will hang out in anticipation… Just ordered some PIR senses… getting exciting lol

                  Thanks again…

                  Hopefully I can pick through your module to learn how to make my own… I’m trying…

                  Where are you pulling the prices from?

                    I get them from https://blockchain.info/ticker and read the json line for a selected currency.

                    You can define a desired Price. The displayed price is marked green when its reached. In addition i want to display a graph for a week or so, but its not implemented yes…

                      God that sounds so great… i would have been happy with just the price… Indicators would be so awesome…

                      And from the sounds of it I may be able to adapt the module to pull json from import.io…

                      That will allow me to grab the from my mining pools…

                      I was hoping there was someone else interested… I was going to offer up a bitcoin reward for someone to make the module…

                      Are you a miner also?

                        I used to be … but there’s no competing with China (yes, the country), the biggest miner in the world.

                        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                          I did some private mining a long time ago but its not worthwhile anymore.

                          What do you offer for what kind of module? :D

                          Here is a link to github but remember that work is still in process!

                            You are a legend…

                            I guess you mined in the CPU/GPU days…

                            I’m in a unique situation…

                            I have access to free power :-)

                            Running:
                            300mh Scrypt KNC Titan ASIC
                            4 X 40mh Scrypt Zeus ASICS
                            2 X Antminer 4.7th Sha S7’s
                            Just got an Antminer S9 - 12.9th

                            As soon as I get home from work I’m going to try installing your module… Excited…

                            How much would you consider fair to code a module?

                            I want some sort of module that makes it easy for people like me to get any data. Thats why i’m thinking import.io or something like it.

                            One module for as much data as you can find on the net.

                            But I may be able to adapt your module to import.o’s api… maybe lol

                              hmmmm frustrating… had a quick try while working…

                              No luck so far…

                              Where are the dependencies meant to be installed…

                              Straight to pi? In the Magic Mirror folder? Module folder?

                              I think this is the same reason i can’t get the iCloud module to work…

                              Have another attempt after work…

                              Cheers again… Awesome work… it looks great

                                  I think its node_helper issue…

                                  What was it you changed to fix that?

                                  Thanks again for building this

                                    hey @Phate

                                    sorry for the late answer. was a bit busy these days :o

                                    you need to install the dependencies directly in the MMM-Bitcoin folder to run the request.
                                    hope you will get it run ;)

                                    my problem at the beginning of writing the module was just a wrong file name of module_helper.js. yes i know, it was a bit stupid…

                                    i started mining with some usb asic miners. if i remember it right, they had about 300Mhash each :D

                                    a module to get any type of data would a bit complicated because you need to know what kind of fields you have in you json. a real dynamic module for any json input would be over my horizon i guess. but if i have some time, i would give it i try ;)

                                      No problem at all mate… Appreciate any help at all lol

                                      USB little blade things… I skipped that stage… Went GPU rig straight to larger ASICS… Cost a fortune at the time tho lol

                                      My issue is installing the dependencies in the actual Bitcoin module folder… it throws an error…

                                      I’ll try again now and see if I can copy paste the error

                                      In case I’m doing this wrong…

                                      Cd into module folder MMM-Bitcoin

                                      npm install request

                                        I’ve tried a bunch of different ways to get the dependencies installed in the modules folder… No luck…

                                        Keep getting:

                                        ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/package.json
                                        ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/node_helper/package.json
                                        

                                        I’m guessing I’m still doing something wrong

                                          I haven’t had another chance to have a play yet. Think I need a reinstall of the whole magic mirror system. Start fresh.

                                          It occurs to me tho that I should be able to adapt you module to lookup an address balance…

                                          I love the idea of being able to set notifications for the price… Haven’t been able to see how that works yet but I wonder if a config setting is possible where it takes the previous value and indicates the price changes compared to the new price… i.e. up or down

                                          Again awesome job… can’t believe how quick some of you guys write these modules… lol

                                            had this problem a few weeks ago. dont remember how i fixed it :D
                                            You can try to copy the dependency by your own to …/MMM-Bitcoin/node_modules/request/.
                                            but i am not sure if this will work…

                                            a comparison between to prices should not be a big problem ;)
