To monitor my miner, I wrote some scripts to save stats and show them on a graph, accessible on a webserver: http://mononofus-dreambox.dyndns.org:8081

It's basically python to save the GPU readings (using pyADL), then shell scripts to move around the data. Charts using http://www.amcharts.com/.

Is there any interest in those scripts? If there is, I'll tidy them up a bit and post them on GitHub.

I just stumbled on this very interesting paper: http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf

Basically, it's possible to calculate the private key from the timing of the responses, since multiplication depends on the size of the operands.

I don't think this attack is going to be used just now, but it is definitely a possibility. What do you think?
