Bitcoin/Altcoin Ticker Board! Bash Script - Run on any Linux Box
Hello World :]
Hope you all are having an excellent Sunday/Canada Day Woot Woot! Today I thought I could show you a cool script I wrote.
I wrote this script a few months ago, after getting tired of checking phone notifications, running to my room to check the computer, etc. All it is, is a Display of about ~20 Cryptocurrencies, and their prices in BTC, and USD.
The script is powered by https://coinmarketcap.com, and is updated every thirty seconds, so edit and use it responsible, as it checks many coins at once. The script also has a location for a few long-term holds, (though this needs editing,) and displays 24Hr Volume, as well as Total Market Cap.

Hope this comes in handy for some of you, and if anyone out there can make this better in any way, I'd love it if you'd share your additions. I mostly just leave it running on my raspberry pi, and a TV Screen :)
P.S, I reccomend starting The ticker script using a secondary script called start.sh, as you can edit font size to your screen size. To change font size, simply change the 'fs=' option.
#!/bin/bash
xterm -fullscreen -fa monaco -fs 28 ./hello.sh;
upvote for me please? https://steemit.com/news/@bible.com/6h36cq
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I run this on my raspi, so it doesnt matter if my desktop gets clunky, your gonna wanna run this script within a sub folder of your pc, as it generates quite a few text files lol. I did not take the time to deal with those, though you can if you please.
