Error: yahoo returned zero currency data

[uncentral]

runs well until this error:

Unfortunately this is a random issue caused by Yahoo, their finance API use to work perfectly but now it occasionally doesn't return any currency data. In the latest version of GCT, it will switch the provider to 'fixer'.

You can also edit your config.json file as follows;

'CurrencyExchangeProvider": "fixer"

@thrasher- Sorry to comment on closed issue, but I believe yahoo blocked the forex service completely and you can remove the yahoo specific code.
