Glad you're enjoying dashman! I'm stoked to see the interest!

Yes, still working on it! The port to python is going well.
But, I don't get as much time as I'd like to code. Thanksgiving took a lot of time and I only get a couple hours a day free being a stay at home daddy.

The communication and encryption layers are complete and so is the auto-restart watchdog daemon 'dashmand'
I've got multiple instances-per-host (mainnet/testnet) working, but still have a ways to go. (including finding a memory leak in the monitoring daemon, building the remote management menus, and allowing for arbitrary version installations (for testing))

I expect to open up a beta test in a couple weeks, maybe three.

Here's a teaser of the "status" command ("Loading..." stuff still not plugged in) with two instances running (one mainnet, one testnet)  (added nethash, difficulty, and next payment calcs)

I plan on making a more compact version of this output, but that'll be later.
