Title: [ANN] blockfound - push notifications when your pool solves a block Post by: Professoruss on February 18, 2014, 01:23:55 AM I just updated this so it works on all pools via blockchain, so I figured, might as well post it in here.
Hope someone can get some use out of it. https://github.com/professoruss/blockfound (https://github.com/professoruss/blockfound) https://i.imgur.com/i5C9fQc.png readme: Blockfound will notify you when your pool finds a new block Ruby Support for Pushover - ios/android push notifications Run via cron or irc bot Data comes from blockchain.info API (or optionally slush API) Version 2.0 Installation gem install json gem install yaml git clone https://github.com/professoruss/blockfound.git Command line options --pool <Slush, BTC%Guild, Eligius> (Specify pool name from blockchain.info - use same case as https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs, replace spaces with %20) --oldschool (Get data from slush API instead of blockchain.info) --output <cli, pushover> (specify the output, defaults to cli) --help (uhh, help) Run the damn thing! output to console ruby blockfound.rb --pool Slush Push Notifications Via pushover enter your token and user into the yaml file cd blockfound vim pushover.yaml push notifications ruby blockfound.rb --pool Slush --output pushover Run via cron * * * * * sleep 1 ;ruby blockfound/blockfound.rb --pool Slush --output pushover > /dev/null 2>&1 Title: Re: [ANN] blockfound - push notifications when your pool solves a block Post by: Professoruss on February 18, 2014, 02:55:15 AM also, open for suggestions for other types of notifications

But i think ill have to wait a bit since i am mining on P2Pool... :-) Title: Re: [ANN] blockfound - push notifications when your pool solves a block Post by: Professoruss on February 19, 2014, 10:09:39 PM Well, I think I found another bug, it sometimes doesn't detect the new block when pulling from blockchain. I'll need to look into it.
Title: Re: [ANN] blockfound - push notifications when your pool solves a block Post by: dplusf on February 20, 2014, 06:26:36 PM Well, I think I found another bug, it sometimes doesn't detect the new block when pulling from blockchain. I'll need to look into it. i think i run into this bug. for testing i was using GHash.io, regardless i do not like centralised pools. script only found four blocks, one block was messaged to me three times. maybe you want me to test something to get closer to the error? another thing i would like to mention is if i switch to p2pool i ll get a error message: blockfound.rb:86:in `<main>': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) my command line looks like Code: ruby blockfound.rb --pool P2Pool Title: Re: [ANN] blockfound - push notifications when your pool solves a block Post by: Professoruss on February 20, 2014, 07:42:19 PM I'll try to address these issues by the end of the week. Work has me running around in quite a few directions this week, so I won't be able to dig into it until the weekend.
Title: Re: [ANN] blockfound - push notifications when your pool solves a block Post by: dplusf on February 20, 2014, 08:27:24 PM No hurry.
Didnt know about the Pushover App until this thread, so thank you about that too! :-) Title: Re: [ANN] blockfound - push notifications when your pool solves a block Post by: Professoruss on February 20, 2014, 08:41:01 PM No prob!

I'm trying to call it from Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and am getting the following error: Code: ruby blockfound.rb --pool Slush If I try to directly access the same URL (https://blockchain.info/blocks/Slush?format=json) from a browser, it works. So I googled the problem and found this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10013293/open-uri-is-not-redirecing-http-to-https I installed the open_uri_redirections gem, then made the minor mods to your script to allow redirections, and it works. Here's the text of the patch, if you're interested: Code: *** ../blockfound/blockfound.rb 2015-03-18 07:40:34.000000000 -0700 Maybe an alternative simpler patch (which I didn't try) would be to change the URLs to https to avoid redirection. |
