Is any company posting BTC/USD conversion rates (and other assets) as Nostr events?

nostr:nprofile1qqsqwm4dxqxggydaqeet0atmrapxevdm2mk2v57w820trg6jvf2wdjcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0htshu3 has some bots, nostr:nprofile1qqsqdeu3eeqf62wejhlkxz5959nqeem2wtrw67d93ygtnn6d77wg62gpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0fd6wyu for example.
Too bad it posts as kind 1, which is impossible to filter and use in the app.
Maybe they can ship as another kind just for apps to get the latest and historical prices on a single Nostr filter?
I am the dev, what kind do you like?
Writing the NIP right now to clarify what I need.
Basically a way to convert $BTCUSD ticker to the value on any Nostr post. Which means users must choose a trusted partner to provide the data and the app must filter by tags with that ticker.
More soon.
Might as well consider #btc to #gold .. because USD is just another currency .. commodity to commodity is a better way to understand things ..
If you do want to project currencies than cents per #Sat is probably right unit ..
Units are important.. they stick in the mind ..
Bitcoin became a store of value because we talk in terms #btc .. if we talked about #sats in all Bitcoin education , it would have become a currency ..electronic cash as envisaged by #Satoshi
Keep me informed, thank you.
Take a look: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1658
Looks good to me as a producer.
Thank you for mentioning Bitagent as "Price Provider".
In a few hours, midnight UTC+1, there will be a first kind 1892 event ... 🙂

Check kind 1009
Nice! I hate the positional args though :)
I think we could benefit from a replaceable to get the latest.
Have you considered a more generic approach for time series in general?
This could be used not only for financial data but other things, e.g., sensors, etc
Would this not be a usecase for DVMs?
