Show HN: Balances – Mint for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

[dewey]

This looks awesome, signed up and added all my wallets but I think i'm experiencing a bug (https://balances.io/users/twofactor_qr) seems to be blank.

[joshstrange]

Same here, I like the interface and enjoy being able to easily see all my balances and don't need 2FA as this is view-only but I like to enable 2FA whenever possible.

[ianhirschfeld]

Hey guys, I just pushed a fix for this. Sorry about that! Thanks for letting us know.

[wellsosaurus]

Sorry about that, guys. We're looking into it right now.

Since I used the Bitcoin-Core to send/spend bitcoins, the export instructions from https://balances.io/import_instructions will not work.

The balance displayed is much less than what the wallet contains, because of the internal addresses from the key pool.

See http://blog.barthe.ph/2014/04/03/bitcoin-balance-differs/

[ianhirschfeld]

Hmm, we will definitely look into this, thanks!

[bjeanes]

And just like that your wallets aren't anonymous anymore or at least are tied to each other beyond transactions between them.

Seriously, though, this is kinda neat.

[ps4fanboy]

Wallets arent anonymous they are all in the block chain.

It doesn't show any of the BTC I purchased from coinbase, only the $20 worth I got via TinkerCoin

[ianhirschfeld]

Is it possible you have more than one account/wallet on Coinbase? We currently only pull 1 account from Coinbase (whichever one is your first). We are working on making it pull all your accounts.

[jeffpalmer]

This is exactly what I have been looking for! I just signed up and added a couple of wallet addresses and I have to say, it looks really good. I can't wait for the iOS app, any info on an approximate release timeframe?

[ianhirschfeld]

Glad you are enjoying it! In terms of iPhone release timeline we are still working out the exact date. It will be after the launch of iOS 8 however.

Thank you for using a limited oauth scope for Coinbase. Had you not, I would not have connected to Coinbase.

I do wish that you had a transaction history more like Mint does. The balance only isn't too useful for me.

[ianhirschfeld]

No problem! :)

Transactions are in progress (https://balances.io/transactions). Definitely something we want for ourselves as well, and we'll get it released ASAP.

The dogecoin lookup seems to be broken, 0 DOGE for all my dogecoin wallets

[imkevinxu]

Nevermind, apparently the Dogecoin QT app makes new addresses every time coins are sent out so I had to track all my coins to the last one that still had all my coins

[dalek2point3]

will there be something like https://coinbase.com/docs/api/overview?

[ianhirschfeld]

We aren't currently opening up our API to the public. However, if there is enough demand for it (http://balances.uservoice.com/forums/244164-suggestions), we might open it up sooner rather than later.

[nXqd]

This one looks fantastic :)

[arasmussen]

Or you could just use Mint

[frozenport]

We can only pray that your crypto is good. Recall the problems that bigger sites had.

[ch0wn]

Since they don't touch private keys at all I don't think they'll be that big of a target.

[diminoten]

Mildly off-topic, but a fun side effect of this site's demographic is when someone does a "Show HN", competitors regularly show up in the comments section and try to convince you how the submitted app is no good, and to try their app.

It's almost a view into the viability of the market (or whatever it's called) to see how many competitors comment - the more, the better. Right?

[kanzure]

There's also http://cryptofolio.info/ which consumes feeds from multiple exchanges per asset type to show either an average or a preferred provider.

On a related note, http://www.currly.com is a place for a compiled view on digital currency news.
