We're super-stoked to introduce cryptoGlance to the mining community! We've been hard at work on this project and put a LOT of our free-time and love into it! What is cryptoGlance?
cryptoGlance is an open-source, self-hosted PHP webapp providing you with a glance at all of your crypto-currency components in one spot. Designed for large and small screens, you can easily monitor and control many aspects of your crypto/mining devices. There's also an Android companion app which connects to your cryptoGlance installation remotely. Note that there are two versions of cryptoGlance that you can choose from: - Windows standalone app: A pre-packaged setup installer which contains everything that you need to run cryptoGlance, which is a PHP-based web app. You don't need to know how to setup and configure PHP on web servers to use this. It's based on PHP Desktop, and is installed from the Inno Setup Compiler. We know how pre-compiled binaries are looked upon in this community, but we can assure you that there is NO type of malicious code in anything that we distribute. We just wanted to provide the community with an easy-to-setup solution.
- Run from Source: If you're familiar with setting up web servers, you can surely bypass the Windows version and use the straight source code from GitHub. Either download a .zip of the master branch, or clone the repo to a directory that you'd serve from Apache or your preferred web server. Ensure that php_sockets is enabled, and that write-access is granted to the /user_data folder.

- Standalone version with installer (for Windows), or run the source code within your own (PHP) web server environment
- Obtains valid data directly from cgminer/sgminer
- Monitors detailed statistics, and manages core functions of multiple rigs/ASICs
- Switch pools and restart miners remotely
- Actively track pool stats and crypto address balances (MPOS and selective pools supported)
- Responsive, mobile-friendly interface
- Realtime information display (no refresh needed)
- Secure login system
- Configurable warning and danger status with visual cues
- Create 'wallets' that are collections of your selected coin addresses, and display the balance
- Void of malware or donation mining (does NOT require your private keys at all)
- Companion Android app which easily allows you to quickly access your cryptoGlance instance while on the go
- MUCH MORE is planned! Follow our social accounts, or drop by our IRC channel #cryptoGlance on Freenode to find out when new features are released!

Just wanted to make a quick addendum post to outline a few popular questions that we've received from people using cryptoGlance for the first time: - Immediately after installing and running cryptoGlance, you'll be presented with a login screen. You may not know what to login with, but the answer is simple. Just use whichever username + password that you prefer, and it will be set in the /user_data/accounts.json file, so you can continue to use those credentials in the future. If you ever forget what you set, just delete the accounts.json file, and set a new username + password
- Again, after logging in for the first time, you'll see a blank interface with only the header and the footer. You'll need to start adding panels, and to do so, click the green button next to Dashboard. It's highly recommended that you watch our YouTube video for a greater explanation on how to set up your rigs, pools, and wallets.
- If you've chosen to run from source, you'l need to ensure that the php_sockets extension is loaded, and also that /user_data has write-permissions granted.
Hope this helps, and thanks for using cryptoGlance!

I installed this last night, and it went smoothly. It's actively monitoring multiple rigs at multiple locations, it's great that it only uses API... No additional software required on the mining hosts. Very cool looking interface, looking forward to more pool management features!

Your feedback is well appreciated fellas! Also, we're pleased to announce our first major update release to cryptoGlance! v1.1.0 is out, and has quite a few fixes and improvements. One of the biggest being auto-update functionality for cryptoGlance itself. We wanted to ensure this was in early on, as we hope to continue to add more and more features, so this will make it easy on everyone when updates are in fact available. See the full changelog below, as well as in the new CHANGELOG.md file within the distribution.

I installed it on my Synology NAS (409) works great.
Notes:
Few bugs in 1.1.0 in that the monitoring doesn't disable. And some interface glitches when adding miners, but fixable.
Would like the HW error monitoring to be % based rather than a fixed number, because ASIC miners have HW errors in the 1,000's but the overall % is usually less than 1% to be acceptable.
Would be great to have email alerts for the monitoring.
Otherwise I donated, everyone who uses this should too its awesome!

Great program! I've used the Windows version for a couple days and I really like it. However, the HW error display mentioned above needs to be tweaked a little - my Gridseed ACICs throw some errors naturally and get flagged in short order.

Just installed cg and it looks very impressive. One suggestion I could think of is if you could make it separate Scrypt rigs from SHA rigs from X11 rigs from etc etc. Perhaps add a user inputted modifier when adding a rig for it to be under a certain group. Then show the totals for the separate modifiers at the top of the page. That way a person doesn't have to maintain multiple installations for each algorithm. I hacked up anubis to allow this, but your code looks too advanced for me, LOL.
Keep up the good work.

Many thanks burritoboy9984! We're actually in the process of adding multiple 'total hashrate' counters that will be displayed at the same time for various algorithms. Some other neat features coming as well, but mainly a major optimization/rewrite of most of our core functionality. We want to refine our foundation before pushing forward, but things are going quite well. Stay tuned for updates as we'll surely be posting about them when ready. Cheers!

Hey xzempt, not sure if it was also you who commented on our YouTube walkthrough video, but here's what we posted as a reply: At this point, there is no Ghash.io support, however we're studying the API in hopes of bringing access to monitor the Pool. You probably won't be able to monitor specific miners/rigs from Ghash, since cryptoGlance needs access to the mining API (cgminer/bfgminer/etc.), and we're pretty sure that Ghash does not provide that kind of access. Again, we hope to eventually enable you to monitor via adding a Pool panel, which should still give you a wealth of information. Look at the "Private Functions" on this page to see what info we are trying to integrate: https://cex.io/apiStay tuned, as we're always pushing hard to support more pools and bring up more features. There's only 3 of us though, so your patience is much appreciated! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Hi there.
I'm trying for some time with various monitoring tools, such as CryptoGlance, to observe all my KNC-Jupter. But it does not work.
In Jupiter I have the following cgconfig: ------------------------------------------ "api-listen": true, "api-mcast": true, "api-mcast-port": "4028", "api-port": "4028", "expiry": "120", "failover-only": true, "log", "5", "no-pool-disable": true, "queue": "1", "scan-time": "60", "shares": "0", "kernel-path": "/ usr / bin" "api-allow": "W: 127.0.0.1, W: 192.168.90.0/24" -------------------------------------------
Has anyone ever done or knows of the error?
Or someone knows another monitoring tool that works with the KNC-Jupiters?

Hey Tinu, thanks for trying out cryptoGlance! We only wish we had the hardware like yours, so it's been tough for us to account for every device. Anyway, this may be a minor thing, but you can try to remove the space in the 'api-allow' field, so that it looks like this: "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.90.0/24" I kind of doubt that will fix it, but maybe it would if you cannot get any monitoring tool to work. Also, I'm not sure which mining app you're using, but I have heard that bfgminer does not like the api-mcast parameters, so you may try removing them as well. If possible, please provide us with more detail as to what's happening, but from your post, I can gather that you attempt to add the rig, but then nothing happens. OR, does it show in the list, and is grey? Thanks again!

I try with and without "api-mcast" etc. No effect. It shows the name in the list grey, but nothing more. The funny is, inside the KNC-Miner dashboard, the api-connection works. But not to Cryptoglance. KNC-Jupiter use cgminer 4.2.3 If u need spezific infos, just tell me. Greetings Tinu PS. Sorry for my bad english.

Go into the Cryptoglance folder and find "settings.json". Edit that file in Notepad. Find the line with "listen on": and make sure that IP points to the local IP where your mining client is running (ie. 192.168.1.xxx). Check to make sure the Cryptoglance port is the one you want (mine is 4041). Save and exit. I suspect it will work properly now. Lemme know if that works!
