COMPLETED: Request for an RPC capable fork of cgminer (155 BTC pledged and paid)

[kano]

Hi!

 I just sent 5 Bitcoins to Kano!

Thanks!
Thiago

5 Received! Thanks Thiago - that's the final one for me.

Now just to sort out what happened to Chefnet for ckolivas' last payment.
I also sent Chefnet a PM a couple of days ago.
But that was a day after his last login and he hasn't logged in since.

I'm making progress on my mining stats page.

http://mining-stats.stitthappens.com/

Right now, it is set to watch my miner, but I'll add a form to let you connect to any IP or port.  Everything under /api/ can already connect to anywhere (as long as the destination's firewall is open) so it won't take much work. I still need to see what happens when this points to a CPU miner

I'm planning on building some simple images out of these stats.  I might take the "api description" and turn it into a QR code (kind of like my avatar) with the MH/s underneath.

Would it be possible to get pool info via the RPC?  It would be nice to tell if a pool is down.  I was expecting that everything available via the current command line interface would also be available via the RPC but we just have "summary" and "devs"

"pools" ... (that and the rest are documented in the README file)

Dunno how I missed that.  Thanks.

Thanks very much!

Those who gave me alternative payments in case chefnet didn't pay out, please PM me your address and I'll send it back if you like.

No, you can have it (at least my share :p) Consider it an extra donation

Sorry for cross-posting, but this would seem to be relevant to both the main cgminer and this API thread.

I hacked together a workalike version of api-example in Perl leveraging the JSON parlance of the API supported by Kano's wonderful enhancements.

Details are here.

It's part of the core cgminer now - so you can post about it in the cgminer thread

So I realized it was going to be way too much work to write a full monitoring/notification center for cgminer.

Instead I am just going to write a simple plugin for Zabbix and let it handle all the graphs and what-not.

Also, this works quite well.

Code:

echo "version|" | nc ip.addr.of.miner 4028

Hmm, I didn't know about nc.
Ah the joy of simple sockets

If you never heard of netcat, you'll be glad to learn about cryptcat Kano.

Cryptcat uses Bruce Schneier's Twofish encryption algorithm to secure the connection. Sweet.
If you forget to provide a passphrase, the hard-coded default is "metallica". How can one NOT love open source software?
