ethtrader-ticker

Creates a 'ticker' by pulling in various pieces of data and uploads it to reddit.

Configuration

See the 'ticker.conf' https://github.com/jaycarey/ethtrader-ticker-conf at for inspiration.

Structure:

• ticker.conf - the main configuration file for the ticker. This file is quite elaborate to try and make it as flexible as possible, it's probably best to learn by example from the existing configuration above.
• ticker.css - CSS that applies to the ticker as a whole.
• per-ticker.css - tickers have an 'upper' and 'lower' portion - this css is include for each one with certain placeholders applied.
• img/ - these are the images referred to in 'ticker.conf'
