Hi soothaa, thaks for your wonderfull work!!

I have some questions for you, if the plug in, have to be running all time 24/7 couldn´t be a good idea, to create a rule on AM to run the plug in? or, for check every n time if plug in is running/online?

Could you please help me with this rule creation?

Thanks in advance
The plugin has to be running all the time currently. I have no plans to change it.

Great work,

Couple suggests to think about.

Self detecting API format. I think you mentioned there are 3 you support and each one has a specific format, should be pretty easy to detect which one the coin uses.

Can you average the last 10 or so block times? this would also reduce user input and give slightly more accurate outputs.



Great work as always. Keep it up.
Yes, the "auto-selection" API was on my list. Really what I wanted was a function that you could feed nearly any URL to it and it would extract the data no mater what - that would be quite a challenge though.

So you're thinking.. use the BlockExplorer to pull the last several blocks and calculate the block time based on that? Interesting idea and it could possibly work with the exception that most BlockExplorers show masternode and PoS blocks in the list with no ability to differentiate the two.. that would kill the usefulness very quickly.
