Colorschemes

cointop supports custom colorschemes (themes).

To use standard colorschemes, clone the colors repository into the config directory:

$ cd ~/.config/cointop
$ git clone git@github.com:cointop-sh/colors.git

Then edit your config ~/.config/cointop/config.toml and set the colorscheme you want to use:

colorscheme = "<colorscheme>"

The colorscheme name is the name of the colorscheme TOML file.

For example, if you have matrix.toml in ~/.cointop/colors/ then the colorscheme property should be set to:

colorscheme = "matrix"

Alternatively, you can run cointop with the --colorscheme flag to set the colorscheme:

$ cointop --colorscheme matrix

To create your own colorscheme; simply copy an existing colorscheme, rename it, and customize the colors.

Config

The first time you run cointop, it'll create a config file in:

~/.config/cointop/config.toml

You can then configure the actions you want for each key:

(default ~/.config/cointop/config.toml)

currency = "USD"
default_view = ""
api = "coingecko"
colorscheme = "cointop"
refresh_rate = 60

  DEV_IN=/dev/stdout DEV_OUT=/dev/stdout cointop
  

• Q: I can only view the first page, why isn't the pagination is working?

  • A: The Go build size is ~8MB but packed with UPX it's only a ~3MB executable binary.

• Q: How much memory does cointop use?

-A: Cointop uses ~15MB of memory so you can run it on a Raspberry Pi Zero if you wanted to (one reason why cointop was built using Go instead of Node.js or Python).

• Q: How does cointop differ from rate.sx?

• Q: How can I get just the coin price with cointop?

  • A: Use the cointop price command. Here are some examples:

  $ cointop price --coin ethereum
  $277.76
  
  $ cointop price -c ethereum --currency btc
  Ƀ0.02814
  
  $ cointop -c ethereum -f eur
  €245.51
  
  $ cointop price -c ethereum -f usd --api coinmarketcap
  $276.37
  

• Q: Does cointop do mining?

  • A: Cointop does not do any kind of mining.

• Q: How can I run the cointop SSH server on port 22?

  • A: Port 22 is a privileged port so you need to run with sudo:

  sudo cointop server -p 22
  

• Q: Why doesn't the version number work when I install with go get?

  • A: The version number is read from the git tag during the build process but this requires the GO111MODULE environment variable to be set in order for Go to read the build information:

  GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/miguelmota/cointop
