Currently unable to add my AAVE and AXS, would be great to add custom tokens even if the end user needs to configure it.

There is a workaround I found by reviewing the code. The code read the coin list at runtime for performance reasons. But it is saved as a simple json file in the apps resources folder as "coinlist.json".

  1. In your browser go to https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/all/coinlist
  2. Use your browser's "Save as..." feature to save the file to your local drive as coinlist.json
  3. Replace (after backing up) "resources\coinlist.json" and restart the app.

You will now have every coin listed on cryptocompare.com. It will take longer to start the app because the latest coinlist.json is over twice the size as the one included in the latest build.
