Version 1.1 of the @steemprice Bot is here and although I am only adding live prices for two new Cryptocurrencies the base code has been modified to handle many more currencies in the future. The small bugs experienced I the first version should be a thing of the past. One major problem still exists and that is the backlog capacity of the bot, with it limited to a response every 20 seconds, it could run into problems... if it becomes more popular (we will see).
With the addition of more currencies I have decided to require STEEM or steem for the current STEEM price (no more simple mention) However this will cause the Bot to run into less issues down the road.
@steemprice Current Commands
All responses first require a mention of the @steemprice Bot followed by the Tag (use Tag 1 or Tag 2 - found in chart below)
@steemprice Tag

If you're wondering why I went with BitShares next, The next 50/50 Cryptocurrency Prediction Contest will be BTS 😉
Volume
Now when calling upon any of the available currencies @steemprice Bot will respond with the 24 Hour Volume + $USD Volume.

How can I contribute to development of this bot? I'd like to try to make it respond to an amount prefix for a token, e.g. if a user types:
@steemprice 0.24 STEEM--It would be really cool if it returns the corresponding amount in USD (by simply multiplying 1 STEEM/USD by 0.24), e.g.
$1.271 USD/STEEM$1.271 x 0.24 == $0.305040.24 STEEM == $0.30504 USDVolume: 59.5655 BTC, 130888 STEEM / Average Price: 0.00045509Last Updated Thu Aug 3 21:13:11 2017Good idea , this wouldn't be hard to set up at all , I made the code pretty simplistic , thank you , if I have time tomorrow I'll put it in! I wouldn't need your help on this one but thanks for offering!!
Does this bot offer help/usage instructions?

Great improvement @blueorgy
You're always innovating and inventing and i like you for that
Thank You! I try.
Amazing and nice post
Hmmm... this could be why @steemprice was not working and double working sometime yesterday.
Because nodes went down and it went back in the past double hitting
Well, good to know but I seems not replying my comment here above. :-)
Yay!! Another GREAT development of @blueorgy!! It's great how you are filling in the niches that are desperately needing to be filled. Great job! It's fun to witness your innovative expression.
