# bettertouchtool-crypto

Crypto stock market prices for your Macbook Pro touch bar! Values updated every minute.

Currently supported coins: 

- **Bitcoin** - Pulled from Coinbase.com API.

- **Ethereum** - Pulled from Coinbase.com API.

- **Litecoin** - Pulled from Coinbase.com API.

- **Neo** - Pulled from bittrex.com API.

- **Civic** - Pulled from bittrex.com API.

- **TenX** - Pulled from bittrex.com API. (This is an addon under tenx.json)

- **OmiseGo** - Pulled from bittrex.com API. (This is an addon under omg.json)

- **Ripple** - Pulled from bittrex.com API. (This is an addon under xrp.json)



# Notes: 

- 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 etherium-altcoin transaction multiplied by the current Coinbase value of Etherium. 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.



# To Install



1. Download and install [Better Touch Tool](https://www.boastr.net/downloads/). 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.

2. Right-click and download this file and unzip it: [master.zip](https://github.com/krunkosaurus/bettertouchtool-crypto/archive/master.zip)

3. In your Mac's menu bar, click the Better Touch Tool `icon > Preferences`.

4. In the bottom left corner of the popup go to `Manage Presets`. 

5. Click the "Import" button and select the [crypto-krunkosaurus.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krunkosaurus/bettertouchtool-crypto/master/crypto-krunkosaurus.json) file you downloaded from the zip file in step 2. Voilà you're done!

6. If you want support for other coins, repeat step 5 with [tenx.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krunkosaurus/bettertouchtool-crypto/master/tenx.json) or any of the other *.json files that came with the zip file you downloaded.

7. Note that you can toggle these separate presets on and off in the BetterTouchTool settings. More to come!



# Customization



- In the Better Touch Tool preferences panel, you can add, delete, and rearrange the currencies.

- 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".

# Donations



_I am not the original author of this script._ I found a quick and dirty version of it on steemit.com. I then improved, optimized, and extended it to support more cryptocurrencies and other features. The original idea came from [here](https://steemit.com/neo/@awesomemo/get-the-latest-price-of-neo-on-your-macbook-touchbar).  Still some people have mentioned wanting to donate so here's how if you like:



- Donate Ethereum: 0x28337E58c086c1019192D876490596B9CC5C5a2a

- Donate Doge: D8WmX55mJiS8VxciwPhB1fr2swRR2agbJ6



# History

- V1.1: Support for displaying Neo and Civic in USD and not just Ethereum value. Click-support for Ethereum value.

- V1.2: Support for rounding dollar values so that they're not 20 characters long. :)

- V1.3: Add-on support for TenX.

- V1.4: Add-on support for OmiseGo.

- V1.5: Add-on support for XRP, new design for OMG.
