Buy a coin by specifying, in US dollars, how much you want to spend. Note that BTC is what will actually be spent! You must have the necessary BTC available on the exchange for the purchase to go through.
Coinx will automatically use the exchange with the best rate, unless you specify an exchange to use via the --exchange option.
Before the purchase goes through, you'll be asked to confirm.
