About bitcoins
Bitcoins are a decentralized electronic currency designed for easy exchange of money between individuals over the internet. They can be very useful for people who want to develop simple payment solutions without depending on big players like PayPal. They can also be extremely efficient as a micropayment scheme.

Changelog:
Version 0.9 is a polishing and bugfixing release. It fixes the URL and a couple other problems.
Version 0.8 fetches the data in the background to avoid freezing the desktop. A new algorithm for computing the rate is also introduced, which should still be robust but respond faster to changes in the market.
Version 0.7 improves icon placement on big screens.
Version 0.6 adds a daily volume estimate, which gives a more long-term vision of what is happening.
Version 0.5 displays the time of the last update and handle network errors more gracefully.
Version 0.4 adds a tooltip that displays current volume and the last trade price
Version 0.3 improves display and refresh rate.
