Crypto stock market prices for your Macbook Pro touch bar! Updated every minute.
Coins / Tokens That Are Default To This Project:
- Bitcoin - Pulled from Coinbase.com API.
- Ethereum - Pulled from Coinbase.com API.
- Litecoin - Pulled from Coinbase.com API.
- Neo - Pulled from bittrex.com API.
- BAT - Pulled from bittrex.com API.
- TenX - Pulled from bittrex.com API.
- OmiseGo - Pulled from bittrex.com API.
- Ripple - Pulled from bittrex.com API.
- Monaco - Pulled from bittrex.com API.
- QTUM - Pulled from bittrex.com API.
- All values are in USD.
- For values taken from bittrex.com, the very last price this coin was sold for is used. Bonus feature: If you click the button it translates the current USD value to ETH.
- For NEO, Civic, TenX and any coin tracked on bittrex.com the USD price is calculated by the last sold ethereum-altcoin transaction multiplied by the current Coinbase value of Ethereum. For me, I felt like this was the most accurate representation rather than using USDT markets.
- Once installed, you can delete any coins you are not interested in tracking or add more coins by following the documentation below.
- Download and install Better Touch Tool. It allows you to modify your touch bar and other cool things. It's a 45-day trial but "pay what you like" to register.
- In your Mac's menu bar, click the Better Touch Tool
icon > Preferences. - In the bottom left corner of the popup go to
Manage Presets. - Download this file (Right click on the link and download file.) - Crypto.json
- Click the "Import" button and select the file you just downloaded.
- Timing: Currently each currency is refreshed every 60 seconds. Change this by going to Better Touch Tool preferences panel, clicking on a currency, going to "advanced configuration", and adjusting the "run script every x seconds" amount. It's not recommended to go under 30 seconds or the server could ban you.
- Changing the logo of any coin: Download or make a .PNG version of the file. It's best if it has a clear background. In BetterTouchTool preferences go to the coin you want to change and drag your PNG file on to the old logo.
- Changing the background color of a logo: Same step as the previous line except you go to "Advanced Configuration" and edit "Touchbar button color".
