How to use Kraken or crypto.com?

[mrsouleater5000]

Hello together,

I have a question though, about adding Kraken as an Exchange. It always shows me only Loading... despite correct configuration. And is there a possibility to add crypto.com too ?

Best regards mrsouleater

Hello @mrsouleater5000.

On crypto.com support, it's already on the TODO list here (not sure when I'll make time to do this yet):

https://github.com/taoteh1221/Slideshow_Crypto_Ticker/blob/main/DOCUMENTATION-ETC/TODO.txt#L47

On your kraken markets configuration issue, I'll need to see your kraken config in config.js, so I can determine the problem. If you could copy / paste your config here, that would work.

[taoteh1221]

Basically, make sure it looks like this:

https://github.com/taoteh1221/Slideshow_Crypto_Ticker/blob/main/config.js#L27

AND make sure you always properly include the exchange market config in quotes like this example does.

Here is the full code.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks @mrsouleater5000, that helps a lot. Please see the screenshot image I have attached to this message. I highlighted where you need to delete errors to get it to work. If you do NOT want coinbase activated, just ignore that part.

Let me know if it still gives you any issues after updating / restarting the ticker with these changes.

[mrsouleater5000]

Does not work for me. I have had it tested before.

exchange_markets['kraken'] = 'BTC/EUR|BTC/USD';

[taoteh1221]

Ok, I'll try using your exact config this weekend, and see what's wrong. Are you running the latest version? You can re-run the auto-installer to reinstall. The biggest thing is to carefully edit config.js, by changing as little as possible.

[mrsouleater5000]

Is this the right command ? wget --no-cache -O TICKER-INSTALL.bash https://tinyurl.com/install-crypto-ticker;chmod +x TICKER-INSTALL.bash;sudo ./TICKER-INSTALL.bash

[taoteh1221]

Yes, run that to upgrade. Sorry, haven't made time to test your malformed config.js yet, to see where the issue is.

[mrsouleater5000]

Nothing happens. after I executed the command All the same BTC (Kraken) Loading... The command was executed but nothing more.

[taoteh1221]

Sorry, I'm unable to replicate ANY of your problems. Unless you can give me these SPECIFICS BELOW, to try and replicate your issues, there is not much more I can do to help you (please be more specific other than "nothing happens"):

The CURRENT version of the crypto ticker you are running (located at top of file: /js/core/init.js).

The name / version of the operating system you are running on the machine running the ticker.

The SCREEN OUTPUT of the install command: wget --no-cache -O TICKER-INSTALL.bash https://tinyurl.com/install-crypto-ticker;chmod +x TICKER-INSTALL.bash;sudo ./TICKER-INSTALL.bash

[taoteh1221]

I also tried testing your config.js, BUT it looks like you are running an outdated version of the crypto ticker. You definitely should upgrade to the latest version. I'm curious as to the screen output of running the upgrade command.

[taoteh1221]

Closing this since it's been 3 weeks with no response. Feel free to re-open this issue, if you have any specifics to report that can help me replicate this issue you had. Thanks for your feedback.
