FAQ:
___________________________

Q: Why do I sometimes do not get the data with BTCGuild and on the top of the screen appears "Too often".
A: MTC Guild let get API  not more than once per minute. If you frequently access to the API  in the program "Mining Explorer", next to the course MtGox, displayed a red label "Too often".

Q: Why is there no field roundduration in the pool information http://pool.mkalinin.ru/api.php .
A: There is no field Roundduration , because it displays the current time UTC +0, and not the duration of the round.

Q: Why is the information about the workers of the pool http://pool.itzod.ru not displayed?
A: The pool http://pool.itzod.ru gives the information only about the active workers. If there are no workers then there is nothing to give.

Not to say anything bad about this, but unless it was open-sourced, cautious people like me wouldn't touch the exe with a ten foot long pole.

We understand your worry about this, but it is free choise of everybody whether to use the proposed solutions or not. At this moment we do not have any ideas of opening the source, but this solution can be changed in after years. We will sign our executable next release. Thank you for your opinion.

Nice program!

I've notice that when checking the workers on eclipseMC pool, they do not show up when going under to the custom tab. Workers from another will show up fine but not workers from eclipse. When using the custom tab, once minimized will this show the workers active and hashrate for each pool or all pools combined?

Also would be nice to see the current rounds estimated payout added to the minimized window. However I could see this as an issue once using the custom tab if multiple pools stats are combined.

Thank You for your time
