Microsoft Adds Bitcoin Currency Conversion to Bing
- pedalpete 13y agoI suppose this is nice in a 'get new people to try bing' type of thing, but what is really going to be the tipping point to make people leave google for more than kicking the tires?
- Shank 13y agoIf I had to make a guess, it hasn't been added to Google because there is no concrete set exchange that people use on a daily basis more than another. Mt. Gox's recent publicity indicates that it wouldn't be a reliable source. CoinBase? Btc-e?
- gibybo 13y agoMt.Gox has been an unreliable source for the exchange rate for quite awhile now. Bitstamp is pretty much the current gold standard for USD<->BTC rates (Coinbase and BitPay are based on the Bitstamp rate).
- iwalton3 13y agoDuckDuckGo also supports BTC conversions (through Wolfram|Alpha): https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=1btc+to+usd https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=1btc+to+usd
- mitochondrion 13y agoIs this really HN-worthy? I'd expect to find this on reddit.

- thebouv 13y agoThat's okay, Google will one up that by doing a Dogecoin converter. Much wow. ;)
- doubt_me 13y agoMicrosoft didn't beat Google at anything. They still have Bing
- platinumdragon 13y agoI have a hard time seeing them adding more useless crap to their interface as beating anyone.
