Here, have my $5! Thanks for the cool app... now if there was a feature that allowed me to remotely control my rigs from this app (using CGWatcher API), that'd be incredibly cool. Version 1.01 maybe? :)

r00tdude: Thanks. It is definitely a possibilty that I will add this (of course you would need cgminer RPC accessible from web). Which features exactly would be most useful for you? Pool switch?

Was also thinking of adding coinedup/coinex, but coinedup haven't yet replied to me about API access, while coinex API is not documented so worried about future changes.
I will definitely add +/- on exchange prices in next version (compared to the price you had on last refresh), and a little better refresh of exchange data.

Actually, I have VPN access to my home network making it unnecessary to publicly address my rigs. Actually a better method - so it'd just need to be able to grab the CGWatcher API instance from the controller in my house.

Definitely Pool switching... not many other ways to make some dough doing this, right? Need to be on top of the profitable alts!

Thanks,

That's cool, but I wonder how this would work for most people (who don't have a VPN set up), since cgminer doesn't seem to support a password for the RPC :/ Then you would only be able to access it while on home wireless, which kind of limits how useful it is. One option is to tunnel via SSH but that is a bit complex to implement.

Btw, why do you mention CGWatcher? Does it have a separate API?

Lol, huge demand on iOS, but not even 1 sold on Android. Now I know why I usually never bother to release anything for Android. Stupid ecosystem, stupid platform... Oh well :)
