Our database in Google Firebase
Our use of the Google Cloud Compute Engine

Useful-Bitcoin-Checker

A useful chrome extension that will tell the user the current 5-Day growth of Bitcoin. It will also make a prediction about the data and will tell the user to either Buy, Sell, or Hold. Each individual part of the program is in a separate folder(i.e. The backend and frontend).

How it works

This software uses a python program that runs on the Google Cloud Compute Engine to collect the relevant information that will be displayed to the user in the Chrome Extension.
The data is then compiled and sent to a FireBase Realtime Database in JSON format.
The Chrome Extension then loads the data from FireBase and displays the information to the user.

Why?

We have always wanted to find a way to easily get and analyze data on Bitcoin. Through the web platforms that we have been given access to for the Hackathon, we have been able to make a Google Chrome extension that analyzes Bitcoin pricing data for the previous five days and makes a prediction on whether or not the user should Buy, Sell, or Hold onto what they have.

Created by

I worked on creating the javascript behind the extension and refined the design of the extension. My main goal was to actually finish the javascript code as I've barely used it.

Private user
I worked on both the backend and frontend of our extension. I came up with the preliminary design of the extension and my teammate refined it further. The Google Cloud Compute Engine integration was my main goal, and I managed to accomplish the integration with not only Cloud Compute, but Firebase as well.
