No worries at all, you offer a free service to the community. Please don't feel like that was frustration at you or your awesome notifications. Yours is (in my opinion) the quickest to notify me! I'm just glad it was an issue that could be brought to your attention. I was more frustrated at my luck assuming it was something on my end since both failed at the same time. What a coincidence!
Thanks again!
Not to worry - and thank you for letting us know. I too use it to get notified right away... I would have been on top of it long before now if not traveling.
I did decide to change the code so that when the new block is detected, I force the public block page (
https://kano.is/index.php?k=blocks) to get read 10 seconds later. That has the a lot of the details that would be interesting for all of us to have on an email / text alert including the price - and I am saving the number of shares submitted as it goes, so I will be able to come pretty close to the CDT (coin per day per Th/s) and BTC per Th value that will be paid to us. Eventually you will be able to enter your costs per miner and it will show your your profit / loss on the block.
I figured it was worth the few extra second delay to have the ability to get all this additional info. I also am queuing emails up, so they are sent between the other processing jobs. So if we end up having 10,000 people getting the immediate notifications, it could take a couple minutes before everyone gets them.
