Im new to this. As what comes to this API thing, what would it take to write a script on my own that just read the hashrate from the site. Never did any "online" related coding but some small things in the past that even worked.
Mouse macro record perhaps, refresh on the site, then copy hahsrate and append on the file? This isnt the first time miner goes down during the night...
Nick's bitmonitor works for this, i'm sure it will be launched after this round finishes, then you can register. I find it extremely helpful. I had a few blades go down after a psu dumped, jst the other night (4am) - I was up outta bed and hashing again by 5am. certainly worth the small fee to be notified.
