2018-05-13 01:47:06 +00:00
- Q: I'm getting the error `open /dev/tty: no such device or address`.
-A: Usually this error occurs when cointop is running as a daemon or slave which means that there is no terminal allocated, so `/dev/tty` doesn't exist for that process. Try running it with the following environment variables:
```bash
2018-06-23 07:15:06 +00:00
DEV_IN=/dev/stdout DEV_OUT=/dev/stdout cointop
2018-05-13 01:47:06 +00:00
```
2018-12-31 23:30:23 +00:00
- Q: I can only view the first page, why isn't the pagination is working?
- A: Sometimes the coin APIs will make updates and break things. If you see this problem please [submit an issue](https://github.com/miguelmota/cointop/issues/new).
- Q: How can I delete the cache?
- A: Run `cointop -clean` to delete the cache files. Cointop will generate new cache files after fetching data.
- Q: How can I reset cointop?
- A: Run `cointop -reset` to delete the config files and cache. Cointop will generate a new config when starting up.

2019-03-18 21:57:24 +00:00
