Adding ETC #104

Closed m00dman closed 6 years ago

m00dman commented 6 years ago

I was wondering if you plan on adding ETC to the app now that's ETC is listed on Coinbase Pro.

To be honest, I don't have a massive amount of interest in adding ETC. Not because I have something against the coin, but because given the present implementation of the algo / app, we're kinda pushing our limits in terms of speed and scale for our money. This means that the marginal cost of adding another thread for ETC is pretty high, and would require large demand to justify it--which I'm not sure it presently warrants.

All of that said, if you are personally interested in getting to see the ETC views for yourself, I have a suggestion. I would follow the instructions I've written up in the README, and get a version of this app to run locally on your machine. Then simply do a search / replace of ETH with ETC, and run a local client with ETC. That way you can run a local version with ETC which will be super fast, and still have access to all of the pairs I already have in the production version :) Hope that helps, and apologies if that wasn't what you were hoping for as answer! Just gotta be judicious with space, utilization, cost, etc. Hope you understand!

Going to close this issue for now as I don't anticipate working on it for at least a little while, but will re-open if the question is raised again.
