New Feature

Exchange rates of Steem, Steem Dollar, Bitshares, Bitcoin, and Ethereum on user account page

We want this app to be a one-stop for our fellow Steemians where they can both interact with the Steemit blockchain and also be informed about what is going in other crypto markets.

As many of you know the exchange rate of Steemit greatly depends on the exchange rate of other crypto such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This way we would like our users to be able to see this correlation right in the SteemApp and to know if their loved Steem has grown and was it because of Bitcoin or not.

But we don't want to stop there, we are also planning to have the possibility to trade these coins just like on Blocktrades.us, but through our application. This way you will be able to easily trade your coins right from where you have earned them.

By the way the exchange rates are coming to iOS version very soon.

Blocktrades.us

Thanks to blocktrades.us and their API this is made real. Blocktrades.us is a truly decentralized exchange platform where you can easily exchange Steem, Steem Dollar, Bitshares, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Dash, Dogecoin and Litecoin. It is aimed at a quick exchange between one crypto to another just like you would exchange your USD to Peso when traveling to Mexico. If you register, you can also see the full history of your trades.

We are thrilled to have Blocktrades.us as a partner who is willing to integrate their service in other apps and wallets. This is why in the next releases we are planning to integrate @blocktrades exchange functionality in SteemApp.

How did we implement it?

We have integrated Blocktrades.us API in our application which fetches the current exchange rate, which is available for trade on https://blocktrades.us website. In this release it shows the exchange rates on the user profile page. And if you click on the STEEEM exchange rate you will get a list of other crypto currency exchange rates such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitshares.

Thank you for your contribution.

  1. unused code should be removed instead of commented out. You can always find the code in the git history.
  2. blocktrades API calling endpoint appears more than once, you should extract that as a constant.
  3. Most code is hard to follow without comments.
