Indeed, some people chase heretics to take their wealth / power.

In addition to f.lux, I've enabled "Grayscale" color filters. Less distraction + easier for the eyes.

Here's how to enable them on Mac: * Open Preferences * Search for "color filters" * Check "Enable color filters" * Select "Grayscale"

Added sorting, thanks for suggesting it.
Interesting metric - noted.
In crypto, it's always better to do your own research instead of following buy recommendations. That said, you can use the numbers in your research: for example, if two coins have a similar market cap, but one has much higher buy support, then it might be a better investment.

Buy support shows demand for this coin.

Currently, it's `'bitmex', 'binance', 'bithumb', 'bitfinex', 'okex', 'huobipro', 'bittrex', 'poloniex', 'kucoin', 'cryptopia'` (planned to include top 20, just fixed the message on home page)
Yes, we'll add sorting in the next release.
Just a placeholder. We were looking to reach wider audience with this message (difference between market cap & buy support).

Do you have any advice on how to encourage sharing?

Thanks for the comment.

Good idea, we'll switch to fixed width.

Sure, we'll add the markets in a tooltip on next deploy.
You're right, $1 bid on 100 BTC = $100 of buy support. We include it into the metric as "100" (without multiplying by current price).

So your tool counts the closest 10%? Would be interesting to expand it to 100% and compare the metric.

- It shows you how much of market cap is backed by actual buy orders (~ whether it's vapor or not). The more buy support, the higher the probability that current price will hold (discounting for manipulative orders, of course).

- Yes, we sum buy support at all levels. You can see the explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18162456
