(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/21/2014 Great extension, cant get darkcoin working though

Tucker Bickler (ID: 0000008098edc485) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/25/2014 Works great! Definitely recommended to anyone who likes to keep a close eye on changing rates. One point of improvement would be if it only showed significant digits. Coins like Dogecoin displays like ".000" when viewed as USD.

Mark J Williams (ID: 00000044b3a94b95) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/12/2014 DarkCoin and MyriadCoin show up as words ( some kind of error I assume ) ... Also it would really be great to have an option to have a badge for each selected coin. I don't want to have to click though. I like the idea of this, would love to give 5 stars if it worked.
