Show HN: CoinTray – Bitcoin / Altcoin Exchange Balance Tracker for Mac

#1

Post by sgehlich »

Hello HN,

today I released my CoinTray app which is a lightweight Bitcoin / Altcoin Balance tracker for Mac. It's a status bar app that displays your accumulated USD balance of your crypto coin portfolios on Kraken, Bitfinex, Bittrex, Poloniex, Coinbase and GDAX.

In future updates, CoinTray will also be able to display the balance in your local currency as well as fetch balances from individual wallets instead of exchanges.

Please check it out and give some feedback:

If you're interested in the premium features, enter coupon code HELLOWORLD for a 30% discount until Monday.

Thanks!

I use bitbar for this and it's free. https://getbitbar.com/plugins/Cryptocurrency

I know bitbar, but with all the plugins installed, it's pretty bloated. I wanted a tool that unites all exchanges and wallets in a lightweight interface.

WARNING, Bitdefender tells me that this application contains Application.BitCoinMiner.SX

This is definitely not true! Bitdefender probably detects this because the application contains multiple references to crypto coin exchanges etc.

Kind of makes sense, it probably recognizes it because multiple relevant APIs are hit. Unfortunately, for me personally this makes it impossible to trust the application.

I have Little Snitch running and the only two connections the application attempted to make were for coinmarketcap.com that is setup as the "exchange" to get the current market price and the exchange I currently use when I added my wallet.

Yup, also it shouldn't use a lot of CPU resources like a miner would.
