Hello everyone,

I wasn't satisfied with the available ticker / widget options for tracking crypto prices, so I decided to make my own.   Hopefully some of you will find them useful.
The first tracks CoinMarketCap data. You can view a list of assets sorted by market cap, with an adjustable starting point and count.
The second is a cryptocurrenty portfolio / watchlist. By modifying the Portfolio-User.inc file, you can track a specific list of assets by symbol, and view your holdings and USD value for each.

Good job! The skin seems pretty exhaustive. Especially useful if you can customize which cryptocurrencies are immediately displayed.

Been a fan of rainmeter before but only for aesthetic purposes but tell me, how heavy is this on CPU usage? I wouldn't want this slowing down my regular and other tasks.
Also from where does this fetch data from?

Thanks! Yes, it was a lot of work to be honest, but I'm happy with the results.  I haven't had any issues with CPU so far and I only have 4GB RAM.  You can always limit the number of coins you track (both skins are adjustable) or use the small / medium variants to reduce the load.

The tracker uses coinmarketcap and the portfolio / watchlist uses cryptocompare for data.
