SBC version 7

About the Satoshi Bitcoin Converter

Satoshi Bitcoin Converter version 7.0

The Satoshi Bitcoin Converter (SBC) started in June of 2013 when I kept confusing bitcoin units. It helped me, so I put it on a website. My thought was that this would be my tiny, tiny contribution to Bitcoin and crypto. I hope that you find it useful.

In a couple of years, it migrated over to become a native Android app. SBC has been used around the world, see the map here. The Android app can still be found in the Google Play store. However, it's no longer maintained.

In April of 2020, the Satoshi Bitcoin Converter returned to its web app roots. As a web app, the hope was that the converter could reach across platforms and operating systems in a mobile-friendly manner.

With version 7.0, in July 2023, the Satoshi Bitcoin Converter made another step forward (back?) to its original roots. To get back to how it existed when SBC began, only Bitcoin is included with v7. The "legacy version is kept here", though it is no longer maintained. Also, the SBC now exists as a true Progressive Web App (PWA) and therefore can be installed on your device, mobile or desktop. This allows for (1) taking up much less storage space on your device, (2) auto updates, (3) use on nearly any modern OS or device, and (4) freedom from app stores. Mostly, it's just simple and it works.

The Satoshi Bitcoin Converter is open source. The code can be viewed at https://github.com/crrdlx/satoshi-bitcoin-converter. Help is welcome.

Is / Is not

This app is for quickly converting between Bitcoin decimals and satoshi (sats). It's for seeing the value of that BTC or those sats in USD dollars. Also, the SBC app is for going the other way, from USD to sats. It answers questions like, "My coffee costs $1.75. How many sats is that?"

The legacy version of this app (pre-v7) had other fiat currencies and other cryptocurrencies. It was not for fiat-to-fiat conversions, like USD-to-EUR. Also, it was not for crypto-to-crypto conversions, like BTC-to-ETH.

The app was for fiat-to-crypto conversions and for converting units within each crypto. For instance, how much, in EUR, is 1000 "bits"? And how much in BTC is that? Or, "I've got $10, how much BTC can I buy?"" Or, "Someone tipped me 500 satoshi, how much is that worth in my local currency?"

View the legacy version here with its links to other fiat currencies and other cryptocurrencies. However, understand that the legacy version is no longer supported.

General notes

Please realize that I do this during my limited spare time. Take it for what it is...a free app, with no advertisements. I do this just for the satisfaction of making something that works, for the crypto community, and with the hope that it might help someone in some small way.

Before offering a less-than-favorable rating or complaining about something in the app, drop me a note and I'll take a look.
