DashTV - The easy way to keep an eye on your investment

pille · Dec 23, 2015

I always felt there has to be tool where I can check all the data (most important fiat value) of my Dash addresses on one screen. Ok, time to renew some html/css/js/php "skills". So here is what I got, maybe useful for some of you too. Put it onto your RasPi like me, onto your smartphone, 2nd screen, big TV in the entry hall of your villa, whatever.

https://dash-news.de/dashtv/
https://m1.dash-news.de/dashtv/ (mirror 1)
https://m2.dash-news.de/dashtv/ (mirror 2)

Dash- and fiat-data gets refreshed every minute, the value of your addresses once an hour. MN count is calculated automatically (yourDash/1000).

Default parameters are: 1000 Dash (1MN) and USD as fiat currency.

Custom parameters:
curr=EUR or CNY,GBP,CAD,RUB,HKD,JPY,AUD,CHF,PLN
addr=address1,address2,address3... (too many addresses will take some time)

OR
value=customDashAmount

Example: https://dash-news.de/dashtv/#curr=EUR&addr=XhhAW4PZm8y6fe8577Qo8gs8zBPqe4Ab98,XekiLaxnqpFb2m4NQAEcsKutZcZgcyfo6W (thats what it looks like when you own the 1st and 2nd address of the rich list)

Special thanks to: mjsrs for his api, UdjinM6 for his help and the dash block explorer api.

Thank you very much, thats a nice amount for a small fish like me, I really appreciate it

The time will come when I have to change the layout for you because your total value run out of space

And I have to add separators.

What's the resolution of your screen? I can scale it down for higher resolutions.

And yes, it means per annual.

Changed the viewport for resolutions wider than 1290px.

Btw: you can toggle the BTC price with the "B"-button on your keyboard now.

it does not matter what scale I try to set it to - all looks the same - oversized

MangledBlue · Dec 27, 2015

lol - maybe I was missing the point to your design

I just went back to your page and hit F11 for [full screen] of course - lol
and
there it was - looks great

but............can we get it in browser size also?

If I had a dedicated monitor for it - your page, on 24/7 would be the shit :-D

thx - up ta U

TheDashGuy · Dec 27, 2015

you could try using some sort of html/css framework like bootstrap or foundation5 then you can present all this very wonderful info in a beautiful responsive mobile and browser ready interface.

They provide most of the markup as well.

tungfa · Dec 27, 2015

this is so good and simple
love it

pille I'm not seeing the current Dash price on DashTV. My screen says .0063 but the Poloniex price ATM is .00649. Where does your service get price info?

Most of my data is taken from https://dash-stats.firebaseio.com/stats.json (latest on the bottom) . Dash price is always slightly lower than Poloniex. I don't know from which exchange exactly it's taken, maybe it's an average value?

Strange, when I test the site with your size (- menubars, toolbars and scrollbar) here it looks ok:
http://quirktools.com/screenfly/#u=http://dash-news.de/dashtv/&w=1578&h=746

I will see what I can do, this layout is only a first try for my (awaiting) 3.5 inch raspberry pi screen and my old 4:3 ratio monitor, widescreens could be problematic at the time.

Meaby use the worldcoinindex price?

From their site: "API request are restricted to 1 API KEY per IP and a maximum of 12 requests per hour." Thats not very much...

But I can get the price from Poloniex (most volume) if you take it that exactly

splawik21 · Dec 27, 2015

Can you take the price of poloniex + 12 requests per hours from WCI put it on spreadsheet and take the medium info from there? At least it would be more acurate.... what do you think?

pille · Dec 27, 2015

Sorry to complicated splawik21. Price is from Polo now (only BTC, not fiat).

What you should keep in mind: every url you enter on the domain dash-news.de will be logged by the server (I dont have a root sever -> can't change that). That means, if you don't want to have your addresses stored connected togther anywhere, use the value attribute!

Why don't you take the requests and cache it locally? that way when folks run to your site with a valid request you can hit your local cache. Albeit only allowing it to be refreshed every x interval ?

Actually I request the API data every minute with a cronjob and write it to a file which my users access. (Is there a better solution? thought it's ok).
But still, with the worldcoinindex API I could refresh only every 5 minutes.

Edit: fiat prices are now calculated from poloniex price too.

Is there a place on the page where you could have it display total BTC worth? I'm lazy.

total/btc-usd=btc total or "value=amount"*dash-btc=btc total

Dash4Ever · Dec 28, 2015

This is great !

I can finaly easy monitor my incomes from work

I have 2 screens at work so this is great!

Dash4Ever · Dec 28, 2015

Is there any posibillity to change background color / text colour ? Is is under construction maybe ?

acidburn · Dec 28, 2015

You open sourced this?

maybe later, the code is very ugly :what:

MangledBlue · Dec 31, 2015

What exchange are you using for these number - they seem a bit low for the actual cost per DASH
My DASHtv screen says = 3.17
Poloneix = $3.56USD

hummmmmm

USD price from Poloniex is nonsense because of it's low volume (28 Dash/ last 24h). I calculate with Dash price from Polo and BTC price from https://dash-stats.firebaseio.com/stats.json , should be reasonably accurate. Better compare with coinmarketcap.com for example.

sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart

add:

Code:

@xset s noblank 
@xset s off 
@xset -dpms
@chromium --noerrdialogs --kiosk http://dash-news.de/dashtv/?value=1000 --incognito --disable-translate
