Support coins that are very far down the list

[lyricnz]

We've had some support requests for coins that aren't in the top 1000 (or even the top 5000):

toKickUP: Hi, is it me or the BitDAO (symbol: BIT) is not included in cointop? I could not find it even if I keep cleaning the cache and reload the app.

felix78: Hi, how can I add Defina Finance FINA?

I found FINA at around 5000 coins down the list

BIT has lots of duplicate symbols, and is even further down (on page 54, with 100-item pages)

not really trivial, but one thought on this is we could have the search function do a lookup via the API and merge the returned coin (if found) into the list of coins. The user can then add that coin as a favorite. Coingecko supports returning data for a specified list of coins so we can do an API fetch of just the favorited coins and merge those with the regular paginated lookup whenever cointop starts up or a refresh of the list of coins is made.

Yup.

Thank you lyricnz, I am felix78. So I have to wait for the next release of Cointop?

Nobody has done this work - this is just a feature request
