I wrote a blog post about the Ethereum Wallet preview, if you’re interested read blog.ethereum.org/2015/09/16/ethereum-wallet-developer-preview.

Right when kraken.com starts trading I’ve add a new EthTools.formatBalance() method to the ethereum:tools package, which allows you to display an ethereum wei value in any ether unit or supported currency from kraken (BTC, USD, EUR, CAD, GBP and JPY). Simply use: // HTML/Blaze {{dapp_formatBalance “1000000000000000000” “0,0.00[0000] UNIT” “btc”}} // JS EthTools.formatBalance(“1000000000000000000”, “0,0.00[0000] UNIT”, “btc”) // “0.012345 BTC” I’ve also add a special EthTools.toWei() method, which allows you to convert e.g. BTC to to wei: var wei = EthTools.toWei(23, ‘btc’); // wei = “80000000000000000000” There are many more helpful methods (EthTools.formatNumber(), EthTools.setUnit(), EthTools.getUnit, EthTools.ticker, EthTools.setLocale()) in that package take a look its readme for more. Note that the ethereum:tools package …

I add a new element to the ethereum:elements package, which gives you a simple account select with identicon: Additionally I improved the {{> dapp_addressInput}} to it now removes whitespaces and adds the 0x to any address. Also take a look at the new improved ethereum:tools, ethereum:accounts and ethereum:blocks package. https://atmospherejs.com/ethereum (ethereum:tools works also without meteor, by simply linking the ethtools.js) If you wonder how to get the static files of your meteor dapp check out meteor-build-client.

The real Ethereum network will launch 3h from no, when every user generates the new genesis block based on the blocks hash of block number 1 028 201 of the Ethereum testnet. Prepare for the next level of block chain applications! The following video is a SAP advertisement, but it describes very good what ethereum can/will do in a not to distant future:

UPDATE 04.06.2015 Better use the new template animation helper, which uses ui_hooks to start animations: https://atmospherejs.com/frozeman/animation-helper Its a bit since i posted something. I’m actually busy building http://tunedin.de/featured I just wanted to post something about a package i wrote a while ago and, which serves me well since then. template-animation-helper i just released a fixed version, which works well with Blaze, Meteor’s new template render engine. So if you didn’t try it yet, go here http://templateanimationhelperdemo.meteor.com And grab the package at https://atmospherejs.com/package/template-animation-helper. Thats it! PS. if you’re into crypto currencies like i am, take a look at NXT, it looks very promising http://nxtra.org/nxt-wallet/

Update This package just got mentioned in Meteor weekly 🙂 meteorhacks.com/meteor-weekly-meteor-new-version-10000-github-stars-dynamic-templates.html Update This package is now BLAZE ready, the new render engine of meteor, therefor there are some syntax changes. The view-manager package works like the Session object in meteor, but has some handy features. To place a template somewhere, just add the {{DynamicTemplate placeholder=”myKey” context=myData}} helper somewhere and then call: View.set(‘myKey’,’myTemplateName’); This will render template in its place. You can call View.set(‘myKey’,false); to remove it. Additionally you can pass an object to give it data context e.g: This context will then be merged with the context passed in template (dynamic content overwrites template set context) View.set(‘myKey’,{ template: ‘myTemplateName’ context: …
