One of the really promising developments in the alternative currency world right now is the idea that virtual currencies can be swapped and priced independently of any kind of fixed price regime.
The barter industry has fought against this kind of transparency for a long time…but that is another story.
Until recently, figuring out the going rate for one of your cryptos was a complex process involving multiple exchange websites and a calculator, or at least going to a number of different websites.
Then Cryptonator came along and simplified the process by miles. Do you use Google Chrome? There’s an extension you can add to the browser that will let you check on the relative pricing of over 300 cryptocurrencies, all inside the four walls of your browser window. No more interrupting, opening a new window or tab, and pulling up your favorite exchange, Cryptonator does that for you. It pings the major exchanges every 30 seconds, while it isn’t exactly real time, it’s not far off either.
