my suggestion, and probably the suggestion of A LOT of others, is to log the stat history so that we can get an accurate record without having to leave the page up all day.

it's quite annoying to close the site for 8hrs while i sleep, only to wake up, and have it draw a straight line from where it was to where the stats are NOW.

It's a great suggestion, but I deliberately designed the stats to function like this. I did this for several reasons:

1) I didn't want people to visit my stats once and then forget about it, meanwhile the stats continue to be downloaded. This was a waste not only for me storage wise, but for wafflepool and myself's network usage.

2) Related to above, but I didn't want to hit the API unless people were actually using it.

3) It was quicker to code it this way.

4) I figured that since people had their PC's on mining all the time anyways, if they wanted historical stats they could just keep the page open somewhere.

There's a way to get around this, of course, and that's by writing a bash script or something which will hit the URL: 'http://waffles.wilschrader.com/current/BTC_ADDR' every 60 seconds and then trash the results. I leave the finer details of that up to the user.

Now, I'd love it if poolwaffle would give me (all of us) access to historical data he's no doubt already storing, but since he has more important matters to attend to, I'll make do with what I have now. :-)
