Doge Pricer Extension

Doge Pricer is a simple extension that fetches the current DOGE price from Cryptsy and Vircurex and displays the price in BTC and USD. Now you can follow the price of DOGE without ever leaving your browser. DogePricer also displays the current price right on the badge of the extension button and is updated as frequently as every minute depending on the frequency you choose on the options page.

You can also set price alerts that will display a notification if DOGE rises above or falls below a threshold you choose. You can also choose how frequently the extension checks for price changes, but the minimum frequency is every minute. This is a hard limit imposed by Chrome itself.

Wow. Such Extension. Much Prices. Many coins.

Valentin Dev (ID: 00000014c3cf3bf5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/21/2014 I love this extension, but it has only one problem, it doesn't update often. I keep seeing old prices that are updating only when i click on the button. Anyway, i will look at the code constantly, because the developers of "cryptsy live ticker" just put a malware in it that steals your coins when you are withdrawing from cryptsy.
