JadeBitcoinGadget - Windows Gadget for slush and deepbit

Hi folks!
 
I have written a Windows Gadget that allows you to monitor your slush or deepbit pool performance.
The gadget should already fit the need of most of the users, but will be extended step by step.


Jade Bitcoin Gadget:
- current version 0.1.3
- displays slush and deepbit account info
- provides additional info on workers of slush pool / deepbit pool
- sums hashrates of all workers of all pools
- show the worth of the confirmed, but not yet paid out BTC in the current Mt Gox exchange rate (USD)
- only demands to know your API tokens... that's what they are for
- every line of code visible, no hidden stuff, no malicious stuff (rename to *.zip, see for yourself)



HowTo:
- download .gadget file    http://www.4shared.com/file/vb_dy1Ym/JadeBitcoinGadget.html
- enter slush / deepbit API token
- ??
- Profit!

Screenshots (parts blurred - BTC adress & worker names):

FAQ:

Q: Eeeeks! Uninstalling the gadget failed!!!11
A: Please manually remove the css folder inside the gadget folder.

Q: Hmpf. Manually removing the css folder failed! And now?
A: Do it the hard way. Delete not more than one of the subfolders and
start your delete-tour deep down, digging up to the css folder. It's strange,
but it works. You probably uninstalled the gadget while it was running.

Source code?

needs to be wider as the "last share" column is wrapped over two lines and then means only able to fit 2 workers instead of 4.

could calculate last share as time since, "35m30s" "1h30m" "1y3m" "1m1w" "3w2d"

looks good

edit: ok, i see what is going on now, my worker names are longer than yours. SoreGums.hd6950_0norr - login.card_instanceCOMPUTER
maybe truncate the worker from the period on. so show hd6950_0norr, because SoreGums. isn't going to change as the api key is specific to the account and the account username is fixed

Thanks, miner!
Wrapping occurs when worker names are longer than those of my test workers... should be fixed soon.
On the other hand, the list should be scrollable, if you have that many workers.
"last share"-topic is heavily requested, gonna take care of that soon.

EDIT: Please install again from DL link, i have shortened the worker names as a temporary but easing workaround.

Source code?

Yeah, no problem, feel free to have a look at it!
Windows gadgets are always uncompiled.

I cant see the sum(hashes) yet

Wow nice gadget!

[max in montreal]

I think this is great! But i would like to suggest some changes...because i think it is too big...here goes, and please do not be offended...

Scrap the bitcoin logo, my name and my wallet, threashold never changed so we can get rid of that too. remove the circles and the words next to them, (confirmed/unconfirmed...) if the numbers have the colors its good enough. remove mt.gox but the data is perfect

the check marks next to my workers...i guess that means they are running...lose the checkmarks and just make the workers names green, this means they are up and running...slush pool address and mt gox address are un necessary, just click on the data above to be brought to the website.

and lastly, 1 solid color would be great.

right now I am using a gadget called miner stats, love it because its small, but hate it cause i do not see my worker stats, or my slush stats...

I think its great but its just too big.

Yes.. can we please have the sauce?



Also, maybe a gadget for eligius or bitcoins.lc ?

I flexed my JS-FU and came up with this simple change

// from
html += "<td class='wname'>"+i+"</td>";

// to
html += "<td class='wname'>"+i.split(".")[1]+"</td>";

and then using this timeago jquery plugin i got this



this'll do for me

Well I didnt mean the location, I meant code... however!

I didn't even realize gadgets are easily readable. Derp on my part. Should have checked first.

Great job. It is too big so I did a little mod...

btw gadget files are more or less zip files.

funny how you say you want the location, just the code, considering the code is at that location, which you have since found out

all you have to do then is close the gadget and add it again using "Desktop Gadgets" to reload what ever changes you made.

very nice - you could get it narrower if you use that timeago plugin, just edit the text to make it shorter

Hi guys

Ok, everyone has different ideas on how a design should be.
I currently work on some improvements and some sort of
"style themes", which allow one gadget with multiple appearances.

This won't be the usual "you can have it in green, red and pink, too" - more
completly different design approaches.

For all those "minimalistic ui fans": Please be patient, everything
is possible hihi

I will post new versions as soon as available.

Best wishes to you all,
Jade

[Clipse]

how about some multi-pool support? deepbit,btcguild etc.

Yes, definitly a charming idea. But i am sure that this won't happen in the next 2 hours

[Meatball]

How about an auto update feature that would automatically check/download new versions you make?  Might be more effort that it's worth though.

Edit: Added, what about a link back to this thread from the Gadget?
