Which API's we should proceed with, as well as which resources we should pull other (informative) information from

Peter: I'm still researching CC myself but if there are a few sites we can whittle down definitions from, or rather assist in creating our own more readily understandable/simple content

there are some information on the bitcoin website, we can get some information from there. I will research more. https://bitcoin.org/en/how-it-works http://money.cnn.com/infographic/technology/what-is-bitcoin/ http://harvardpolitics.com/united-states/bitcoin-future-money/

Here are a few APIs we can use:

https://www.cryptocompare.com/api/ https://www.cryptonator.com/api/ https://www.coinigy.com/bitcoin-api/

I think Coinigy has a very detailed documentation for its API. Cryptonator seems like it's pretty straightforward in what we can do with it (has parameters we can utilize to customize). Cryptocompare seems to have a lot of popular cryptocurrency supported. Documentation for it is also pretty good.

Concerns: API Data Request limits. Maybe use backup API keys that runs based on error received on data limit we reach on a single key. (One key for each member).

CryptoCompare is proving to be very easy to use, but as you've said, there is a limit of 1k per hour or day (ultimately, about 1 per second). I think, for now, we can get familiar with CryptoCompare b/c it is public and super easy to use. And then, after we develop the app a bit more, we can research and apply another API for better scaling.
