Hi all,
I would like to hear your thoughts regarding this idea which could support new or ‘settling’ crypto speculators/investors... who are interested in following and trading several coins, rather then (or besides) 'just' holding one or a few in their respective wallets.
First draft (download & open in MS Excel):

[Important note: version 19/01/18!]
Problems this tool wants to solve:
I want to buy/... coin X, Y & Z. On which exchanges can I find them? Is there one who has them all?
Coinmarketcap allows for individual queries only: select coin - tab ‘markets’. As far as I know, though, there’s no general overview.I am registered on (or use) exchange X, Y and Z.
Which coins do I still miss (out of the top 100/...)? And... on which other exchange(s) should I register as well to get access to the interesting coins I'm still missing?
Or... I'm wondering if I should register on this other exchange I heared about... Is it worth it?
Which extra coins does it give me access to, which 'my' exchanges don't have?my favourite exchange is down...just when I was about to buy coin(s) X,... (etc)! Where can I go so I can still get them?
…
How to use it:
(- optional: is there a specific reference currency/coin you want to have on this exchange for buying these altcoins you look for?
=> go to row 3, click in column B and select the reference currency/coin (default = bitcoin) ...or remove the filter and show all...)
what coins does exchange X have?
=> go to row 3, click in the range of columns F-… on the exchange you look for and select ‘X’ in the dropdown boxon which exchanges can I buy coin X, Y & Z?
=> go to row 3, click in column D or E… and select the coin(s) you are looking forwhich coins do I miss from the first XXX of the coinmarketcap ranking, having already exchange X,…
=> go to row 3, click in the range of columns F-… on each of the exchanges you are registered in… and select ‘ ‘ (empty). Now you have all ‘remaining’ coins, listed top down……
What do you think?
Is this old news… which already can be found at site XXX (which I missed out)?
Great news… but lacking this or that?
Any comments or suggestions… or questions you might have yourself that might be resolved by changing or expanding the idea… more than welcome!
Below are some things I am still pondering about myself...
Some issues that need solving:
which exchanges to add… and which not.
e.g. next version includes Kucoin :)
e.g. some are exclusively for Korean citizens
=> I would keep those, as the Koreans might like this too
e.g. some only have some base pairs
=> does anyone see any added value in adding XX smaller exchanges just for their few already covered base pairs?data quality/consistency: some coins are registered with other codes
e.g. DASH is registered as ‘DSH’ at the Wex exchange
e.g. Stellar Lumen is registered as ‘STR’ at the Poloniex exchange
e.g. Walton is registered as ‘WALTON’ at the Allcoin exchange
e.g. Decentraland is registered as ‘MNA’ at the Bitfinex exchange
e.g. MobileGo is registered as ‘EMGO’ at the HitBTC exchange
eg. BitcoinCash is registered as ‘BCC’ at the exchanges Binance, Bittrex, OKex, LIQUI and Bitgrail
e.g. ETHOS is registered as ‘BQX’ at the Binance exchange (?)
I don't know whether those deviations are ‘courtesy’ of Coinmarketcap… or the original exchanges... Anyway, this can be solved (semi)manually...waiting for a better solution...
(- data quality: coins with no rank, …?)
(- sorting order column C)
Some nice to haves:
ranking the exchanges from left to right based on market cap. Right now this can be done manually;
adding an extra tab listing all markets' info: website, volume, etc
not just indicating which markets offer the coin...but also showing the coin's trading volume in each market (or an indication of this market's size or share based on the CMC info)
placing the main currency variable (Cur1) as a dropdown box on top of the table (instead as a row header)... Not possible in google sheets (?)
developing this idea further in a more powerful excel file using the API of coinmarketcap and/or others' for real time data (might be a lot of work in set up and maintainance);
transform the idea into a (part of a) website.
Having only a limited amount of time to spend in crypto… it would be fun to join forces / ...
(The end...so far... :-) )
