[1/2/2019] Minor error fixes. Fixed topfive command stacking on top of previous topfive data.


[12/31/2018] Added topfive command and fixed and error with the bot not adding alerts.


[12/29/2018] Bot going back up. Some commands may be unstable but will keep tabs on the error log should any errors come up. For now, commands cb, addab, and the half and hourly options from the interval command are removed due to restrictions that come with the new coinmarketcap API. The default option for the interval command is now 60 minutes. The bot also fetches new cryptocurrency data on an hourly basis as opposed to being 5 minutes, and BTC and ETH prices are currently down.

For new features, I've embedded the cryptocurrency icons into search results of a single cryptocurrency, and I've also added a URL re-direct to the coinmarketcap page of the cryptocurrency from clicking on the line containing the link and name of the cryptocurrency. I've also added volume, max supply, and changed available supply to be circulating supply as well in the display of the search.

While donations weren't emphasized before, they're needed in order to keep the bot running as well as for new development of features as well. Paypal donations are still accepted, but I've also created a patreon page for users that wish to support the bot in that way. Click here to see the patreon page. I've also added a patreon command that displays the patreon link on Discord.


[12/27/2018] As of today, coinmarketcap has officially changed the v1 API. The bot will be down in order to make updates. Stay tuned.


[11/15/2018] Quick-Fixed an issue with alert feature breaking down due to improper btc unit formatting in alerts.json. Will improve fix at a later date.

Unfortunate to hear, the bot will be down by the end of November if the v1 API is no longer in use in order to update the bot to accommodate for the coinmarketcap API integration. If barnumbirr updates the API Wrapper to wrap around the professional API in time, the bot may be updated by late December after my finals, or early/mid-january if it comes down to making my own. I'd like to thank every user whose used my bot so far, and I hope everyone will continue to enjoy it coming 2019. I'll try my best to get it back up ASAP, and implement those features I've put off for so long.


[7/22/2018] Added more intervals (See subscriber commands)

It's been a while since I put out an update and to be honest, I'm not as interested in maintaining the bot anymore as I was when I first started creating it. I'll still continue to host the bot for the time being and rework the bot to use a different API to accommodate for more features currently in demand, but after that I'm not sure if I want to spend my time on this project anymore..


[5/13/2018] I've added a new command called $cal. With this command, you're able to search up upcoming events, forks, conferences, etc. for a particular cryptocurrency based on reports on https://coinmarketcal.com/. See here or type to the bot $cal for more information.


[4/8/2018] Fixed an issue with alerts displaying exponentials. For example, rather than display in the alert list:

[1] Alert when Yoyow is less than 1.2e-05 BTC

Adding such an alert will now show as:

[1] Alert when Yoyow is less than 0.000012 BTC

This change only applies to new alerts from here on. Existing alerts will still show in exponential form, so you'd have to remake the alert to have alerts displayed properly.


[3/26/2018] Fixed an issue with commands not working in DMs.


[3/24/2018] Server admins, you can now prevent commands from being abused in your server with the new Admin Commands. (See https://github.com/kodycode/CoinMarketBot/wiki/Command-Page#admincommands).

If you're also not aware, I've bumped the alert capacity to 20 for each user.

Should you come across any bugs or issues, feel free to reach out to me on Discord or on Github.


[2/18/2018] You can now create alerts based on the price of a cryptocurrency in btc
(See https://github.com/kodycode/CoinMarketBot/wiki/Command-Page#alertcommands)


[2/17/2018] I've now added an even shorter way to look up crypto. Rather than $search or $s, you can just type the command prefix $ with the cryptocurrencies you want to look up (See https://github.com/kodycode/CoinMarketBot/wiki/Command-Page#coinmarketcommands for documentation).

Also found out that the $prefix command wasn't working properly, but I've fixed it now. A reminder to all if you would ever like to change the bot prefix for your server, you can change it to your liking (See https://github.com/kodycode/CoinMarketBot/wiki/Command-Page#botcommands).

EDIT: Apologize for the bot spam, just fixed it..


[2/16/2018] Just realized ETH prices are not working properly. Fix added.


[2/15/2018] Price in ETH now shows with search results of cryptocurrencies. Additionally, multi-coin searches have been fixed. If you aren't aware of this feature already, basically you can search multiple coins using a command such as: $s btc,eth,ltc
Additionally, I found something new to run the bot on and it seems to be working smoothly so far. EDIT: Multi-search still broken, will get to fixing it later.


[2/13/2018] Hey guys, it's been 2 months since I started actively working on the bot and I'm surprised that it's grown to over 100+ servers at this time. Recently I've been trying to find ways to improve the speed of the bot so I've been trying out new things with the code. I'm aware it's been lagging behind on sending updates and providing a response for commands, and part of the reason is due to the server the bot is being hosted on. As progress goes, I'm trying to optimize the bot as much as I can as well as look for new servers to host the bot.

In hindsight, I should've prepared the bot for scalability from the get-go, however I never anticipated so many users to pick this bot up into their server. I hope to keep the bot in shape and include more features that users may want to have for it in the future.
