Getting Started

  • First install cryptowatch

  • Then run

    cryptowatch --config

    this will create a config file if one does not exist and edit it.

    • The file can be found
      • Windows: C:/.crypto.cfg
      • macOS/Linux: ~/.crypto.cfg
  • Write in the addresses you want to track next to their respective variable, if more then one address for a type of crypto separate them with commas and a space after the comma

  • Save and close the file and now you are ready to use cryptowatch!

The above steps help with getting address balance monitoring, cryptowatch still works without these steps
