All connections are incomming. There is no information leaving your device ever. Except for feedback e-mails  ;)


Security notes

ckpool stats site are not accessable over a secured connection (only http, not https). All your traffic - downloaded worker and user stats - is sent in clear text and can be intercepted by others. Block and difficulty info are fetched from https://blockchain.info.


Support, feedback, feature request and donation

If you have questions, problems, just some word to say or a nice additional feature to implement in coming releases, please reply in this thread, or drop me a pm. Visit info section in the app for more information. I'm looking forward to all of your comments and *constructive* criticism!


Note

This app is and will always be "Android only". I'm not an iOS developer. Sorry.
I'm developing this app for my personal use, but decided to let you guys use it for free too. Please keep in mind, that this app is not my full time work, it's my "on-off" hobby. So please do not expect updates on a regular basis, although I'm interessted myself into getting the features listed above done very soon. If you like what I'm doing here,  support me by downloading this app and visit the info section. Thank you!


Download

--> Check it out and download the app @ Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.minibit.android.btckpool)

Feature Request

  • kano.is support
  • Show blocks found by pool, filter by own address
  • Notification on block found
  • Auto-extract workers from user statistics (due to changes in ckpool stats)
  • Backend Server wich Downloads statistics every Minute, the app just pulls the data from the Server
  • Make it available on open source repos

Due to an upgrade in the ckpool user stats, my app is broken. Will fix it very soon.

Edit: Fix available in version 1.4 @ Play Store

Is the source presentable? I would love to support your work, but i have no interest in doing for closed-source software.

Hi mxnsch

Thanks for your post. At the moment, the source of the app is not available on github or similar repos. But this is a good idea. Please give me a couple of weeks, I'm overloaded with work right now.
If you want to know the source for making/debugging your own app, send me a PM and I will send you my work.

Hi, I've been trying to get it to work with pool.ckpool.org however it doesn't work. Either this is because it is set to only solo.ckpool.org or I am doing something wrong. If it is only designed to work with solo.ckpool.org, would I be able to get the source code to the modify the app to work with pool.ckpool.org.

Cheers
