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

6 pointssgehlich8y ago9 comments

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.

Great little app! I noticed that my balance is different from the one listed in the exchange I use. I'm assuming it is because it is using coinmarketcap.com instead of the wallets right?

Thanks! Yeah that's true, it fetches the crypto balance from your exchange and calculates the USD balance using coinmarketcap.com. In a future update I'll add the option to use the USD balance from the exchange, if present. Thank you for your feedback!

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

sgehlichOP8y ago

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.
