Good stuff! One of these days I really must learn regex. I get 99% of your code but the regex might as well be written in Sanskrit :P

@David - Really? The regex is the simplest part of the code to me. There are a lot of inner closures there, I assumed that would be most complex.

It's not necessarily that the regex is complex for what it is, it's just that I never ever bothered to learn it at all. Not sure how I got this far in my career without learning it but perhaps it's time... I'm off to find some good resources.

Difficulty/hashrate would be a great thing to have in there too, since it approximates network security.  Great site, though!

Now that I think of it, building a site that shows up to date stats on this is super easy with a bit of javascript (at least for these two). I might make one this weekend if I find a few hours.

Is there an easy way to check out the market cap of the alternative cryptocurrencies?

# Is there an easy way to check out the market cap of the alternative cryptocurrencies?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2011-10-06)

Ideally, I'd like to see a pie chart with the whole pie being "Bitcoin-derived cryptocurrencies", and each major alternative represented as a market cap in Bitcoins and USD.

Currently, from what I gather we have:

* **Bitcoin** - 7,415,750 BTC = $34,854,025 = 99.7%
* **Namecoin** - 959,150 NMC = 25,897 BTC = $121,716 = 0.3%

I don't know where to get data on other cryptocurrencies right now, and if they even have any significant market cap.

The coin counts can be found easily here:

* [I0coin](http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/chain/I0coin/q/totalbc)
* [Ixcoin](http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/chain/Ixcoin/q/totalbc)
* [Namecoin](http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/chain/Namecoin/q/totalbc)
* [SolidCoin](http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/chain/SolidCoin/q/totalbc)
* [Tenebrix](http://blockexplorer.sytes.net/chain/Tenebrix/q/totalbc)
