Launch the program by double clicking cryptopricewatcher.py and you'll see an empty window. Just keep waiting and it will populate over time. If you give it a good 5 minutes or so, you should have the complete list of coins on the exchange and be able to sort based on ticker, 5m, price, 30m, 24h and volume.
