*BTC Poolwatch* - no new dev for now

[mikemacman]

VPS is down...getting the service provider to reboot/get it up.

Damn, after setting up this site, my VPS has been hitting downtimes.

Is it instability from the provider or just too much load?

I've been using this company for 7 years and has been good.

The load is not that high, even after I added in the 5min auto refresh. Much less hit rate than other sites I'm running on the VPS.

I'll give them another 4 hours before I start pointing the DNS elsewhere.

The system is back up. Sorry for the downtime.

How is the mobile page coming? If you move the news to another tab, it should display fine on most mobile browsers. it will organize and resize everything itself.

mobile page is done! Simply point your mobile device to http://www.btc-poolwatch.com and it will automatically detect your device and display the stats accordingly.

Mobile page will not auto-refresh every 5 mins as I believe most people have limited/payable data charges on mobile. Please use the browser refresh button manually.

Please let me know if anything does not work/display properly on your phone.

I've made quite a few changes to the under lying structure instead of just taking out the news content.

My next objective is to cache the pool stats so that the page will load faster.

[rearwheels]

pool stats are cached for 5 mins (from the last person who accessed the same pool stats info).

So if two person are pulling the pool stats, only 1 http call is made to the poolstats json.

This should result in significant speed boost in loading pages. (especially if you mine on > 3 pools).

[rearwheels]

Since the various pools' stats are cached, I've made a page to display the information. (You can check out the competition )

Also added in bitcoins.lc and eligius pool stats.

Nice work, rearwheels!

Any chance of getting user stats for eligius, too?

You have a very easy to read and useful website...please continue with your efforts. I really like it so far and am considering giving a donation in the near future.

The user stats provided is very different from other pools.

To include that will require a large portion of re-work on the current pools as well.

I'll try to work this in as I'm thinking of adding a User Token to identify each user.

If the system can keep track of each user with the User Token, I can display performance graphs for each miner.

Thank you, I like to keep it as simple as possible.

There is a problem with multiple API for one pool. First API is counted twice:

Sounds great - hope you can make it happen

Exchanged a few emails with Luke-Jr and managed to get user stats up!

Please try it out.

damn...I think I'm moving to a different webhosting company. They probably put a new VPS customer to the server doing crazy things to the server.

[organofcorti]

if i use a browser that i haven't used with btc-poolwatch before, i get the site up ok. haven't tried adding api codes though.

What about using a simple json feed in the meantime?

[rearwheels]

If you have not used the site before, there's no cookies with API tokens thus no database access (pool stats are cached in the database).

Sadly I cannot even ssh to the server, so I cannot make any changes.

[organofcorti]

so you want me to try deleting cookies and then adding api codes until it fails? or you already know what you need to know?

nah, purely server side problem. It's up after a reboot.

I think I'll put getting stable hosting as top priority
