as per the pump: https://cryptowat.ch/apps/desktop?lid=7h2plq1rxe63 apparently writing things in rust makes you not run hot..

We'll see about that 😂 (considering if their web page is any indication..)

Some thing that might be worth checking out is their APIs for cross market data feeds:

https://docs.cryptowat.ch/websocket-api
- though it seems you have to do paid for credits?.. chafa guey
https://cryptowat.ch/products/cryptocurrency-market-data-api:
- only 26 cexes?
the nerdz complaining over at the AUR:

Both @jaredgoldman and @guilledk tried using it and found it to be a terrible code base and difficult to wrangle the asyncio part with tractor's infect_asyncio feature.. so I think we're just gonna not use it going foward and instead just opt to write our own trio native API clients for all backend that we can :surfer:
