Ledger-live-desktop: Additional listing of fiat currencies in Countervalue

[StayCoolDK]

Can you please also add some additional fiat currencies? I think it's very limited currently, and my native valuta (Danish Kroner) is not available. The more options, the better in my opinion, and this shouldn't be very complicated to implement.

unfortunately we can't until our countervalues provider provide more pairs, and I don't think Danish Kroner was in the available ones, but we can double-check again

[StayCoolDK]

Isn't it possible to have multiple providers? Please do :-)

PRs welcome :heart:

just to be clear, it's actually backed by https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-api-countervalue so it's not really up to Ledger Live. And it's also not as simple as dev work, it's also business decision.

@StayCoolDK is there an actual exchange supporting BTCDKK ? because i can't find any, the only one I see on tradingview is.... MtGox

with our provider, i can see we could have data from two:

> t.filter(a => a&&a.to==="DKK")
[ { id: 'MTGOX_BTC_DKK', exchange: 'MTGOX', from: 'BTC', to: 'DKK' },
  { id: '1BTCXE_BTC_DKK',
    exchange: '1BTCXE',
    from: 'BTC',
    to: 'DKK' } ]

but both no longer have data (obviously^^).

So, until we don't support inter-fiats conversions, we won't be able to offer DKK. The current approach Ledger Live is taking is to not provide average calculated rates (we've seen how bad this approach was in Korea in recent news for instance), but always let the user decide on the exchange. today approach is still to do one intermediary conversion (via BTC). so for instance: DOGE->BTC->EUR to calculate the DOGE->EUR (that does not exist as direct pair).

Coinify supports BTC/DKK - https://coinify.com/

https://developer.coinify.com/apidoc/trade/#approximate-rate - i suppose this would be what you're looking for.

Hey gre i realised that blockchain.info uses Coinify as a payment merchant for credit cards also accepting DKK and the BTC/DKK pair is available to retreive on the following api: https://blockchain.info/ticker
Would be awesome to see this implemented soon, so i don't have to view my balance in USD/EUR which i never use on a daily basis.

Also here is a direct API from Coinify: https://api.coinify.com/v3/rates/DKK

@gre i'm revisiting this issue, due to the fact that you have now added more countervalue pairs, including DKK, to Ledger Live, which is awesome! However unfortunately it zeroes out all balances / is not working at all alongside many of the added countervalues. It seems like there is not a provider for the DKK currency pair and for many others. I'm just wondering why you've added it as a option in the software if you still haven't found a DKK/BTC exchange? Or are you possibly implementing something soon TM?
I've tried posting about this issue twice on the official Reddit channel without any answers, so this is why i'm reaching out here. Hope you can clarify :-)
