cli tool for real-time bit-coin stats parsed from https://blockchain.info/stats

bit-stat

Simple utility script to print out bit-coin statistics that are parsed from https://blockchain.info/stats

Pre-requisites

I recommend that you have python 3.x installed in order to run this program.

bit-stat requires that you install BeautifulSoup. Which can either be installed via pip or easy_install.

If you are wondering if you have pip or easy_install installed just run the which command to see if they are in your $PATH.

╰─$ which pip || which easy_install

Once you are sure that you have either of those python package managers, you can then get BeautifulSoup

╰─$ sudo easy_install beautifulsoup4

Try it out

Go ahead and try out the program and get up to date stats on bit-coin

╰─$ python stat.py
