Requires a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and a compatible 1.44-inch LCD screen add-on, plus copying files and running an install script on the device.
CryptoGotchi is a small Python project that turns a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W into a crypto market tracking device. It runs on the tiny computer and displays information on a 1.44-inch LCD screen add-on. The project is open source and community-driven, meaning anyone can contribute fixes, translations, or ideas through GitHub pull requests. The software watches cryptocurrency markets and produces a playful "bias" signal: buy, sell, or wait. It does not place any actual trades, and the README stresses that these messages are not financial advice. It offers analysis across three timeframes: 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 4 hours. For each timeframe it looks at support, resistance, trend, range, and breakout patterns. There is a dedicated Analysis page separate from the Companion page where the buy, sell, or wait bias appears. Version 0.7.3, called the Community Connectivity Edition, focuses heavily on networking fixes. It improves how the device handles Bluetooth tethering as a fallback when Wi-Fi drops. Wi-Fi stays the preferred connection, and Bluetooth only kicks in when Wi-Fi disappears. The dashboard now shows which internet route is actually active. A protected Wi-Fi switch prevents you from accidentally turning off Wi-Fi unless a working Bluetooth connection is already in place. If Bluetooth drops while Wi-Fi is off, a safety guard restores Wi-Fi automatically. Installation involves downloading a ZIP file, copying it to the Raspberry Pi, and running an install script. After a reboot, you access the interface through a web browser at a local address. The installer preserves your existing configuration, database, custom logo, and network profiles during upgrades. The README also includes a full French translation of the same content. It covers hardware requirements, setup steps, Bluetooth failover instructions, and guidelines for contributors who want to test their changes before submitting pull requests. The full README is longer than what was shown.
CryptoGotchi turns a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with a small LCD screen into a crypto market tracker that shows simple buy, sell, or wait signals without making any actual trades.
Mainly Python. The stack also includes Python, Raspberry Pi, LCD Display.
The project is described as open source, though the specific license type is not mentioned in the README.
Setup difficulty is rated hard, with roughly 1h+ to a first successful run.
Mainly general.
