PoloMAID
For the last 6-7 months I have been programming in python. Today I release the first app that I have ever created.
Features:
Real-time prices of Maidsafecoin and Bitcoin, with Poloniex APi.
Real-time 24 hour volume of maidsafecoin and Bitcoin, on the Poloniex platform.
Real-time global market cap of maidsafecoin and Bitcoin.
Alarm for maidsafecoin, in USDC, When price cross from low to high.
Where to download and how to start:
Download from, onedrive link, Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.
Download polomaid_207.rar, from onedrive
extract all files in polomaid_207.rar, to one folder
open/run, polomaid_207.exe
(Sometimes it takes a few minutes or longer for the file to open if your antivirus is checking the file, but after some time (a week or so) the antivirus learns that there is no problem and the app will start up instant. I have sent the file to Kaspersky labs so hopefully it will also get added that way to their database. But I don’t know how other antivirus program will react. If anyone has a clue on how to get the file scanned quicker then write a reply. If you use another antivirus program and there is a possibility to send the file for them to check and add to their database, it would be much appreciated.

Linux and Mac?
Right now it is released only on windows but I will create .dmg and so on as soon as possible, did just have to get something out there in the wild, after 6+ month’s development.

Why I made this app and why I choose tkinter as GUI for my python app:
In a short comment I wanted to make something challenging, something that could in some way benefit the SAFE-network, give exposure and also maybe inspire others to develop their first app or project for the SAFE-network. For anyone who will try and develop their first app my recommendation is to not set a date to when it should be completed, create it piece by piece and it will be ready when it’s ready.
I first got a thought that I would like to make an app where you could trade maidsafecoin on Poloniex by setting an artificial MAID/USDC price ± 0.5%, continues replace orders when $ price shifts ± 0.5%, calculated from MAID/BTC and BTD/USDC to MAID/USDC. I did some research and found a poloniex api wrapper for python but decided that it would be too complicated and time consuming for a first app to develop. I wanted to make something challenging and I also like automation, so then I thought of making this Poloniex MAID market viewer app. I did not know how licenses works for software or how complicated it would be to make for example an .exe file with different GUI’s, so I decided to go with tkinter GUI to make it as simple as possible to create something that would work and be easy to download and install.
The following libs have been used to create this app.
tkinter
time
json
requests
threading
winsound
Future improvements and fixes
Update UI design
Make some global variables local
New/update logo
How the functions work:
the Prices of Maidsafecoin and Bitcoin updates about every 3 seconds, Volume and market cap about every 30-60 seconds.
MAID/BTC and BTC/USDC are shown from the API while MAID/USDC is calculated by (MAID/BTC * BTC/USDC).
Volume on poloniex uses API
Market cap is calculated (current MAID supply * MAID/USDC price), Bitcoin market cap is from API. Prices are taken from the current “SELL” price on Poloniex, therefore it might be alittle difference between “buy” price, the “spread” and “SELL” price. The labels for the prices will change between “green”, “red” and “grey”, to show latest price direction, the numbers shown might not change because the prices shown uses different rounding decimals than the raw numbers from Poloniex, example (10076.40677469), a raw BTC number from the API.
Known problems:
If the user input, in alarm, is blank or not a number it will corrupt the alarm function.
Stop alarm only works if it is not already playing the alarm sound.
Any antivirus software might make the app to take several minutes to start. For me it sometimes
takes several minutes for the app to start but it seems like after a few weeks the antivirus software learns that this app is not a problem and then it starts immediately.
In the future:
In the future I hope to make more cool apps for and on the acctual SAFE-network, to continue the support of the best project in the world, the SAFE-network.
When we reach $10 and above it would be nice to have a few other features like dollar trading and such.
