The Go build size is ~8MB but packed with UPX it’s only a ~3MB executable binary. It only uses ~15MB of memory so you can run it on a Raspberry Pi Zero if you wanted to (one reason why cointop was built using Go instead of Node.js or Python).
cointop is open-source and released under the Apache 2.0 license.
