Hey @ckolivas:

1. Is it possible to add a feature to the "addpool" API command to return the id of the pool? All pool commands rely on this id, but it is not known unless you first issue the "pools" command and deduce the id of the pool that was just added. Even this is vulnerable to race conditions, for example if I write logic that quickly adds two pools; this has to be managed carefully. I think returning an id is a sensible feature.

2. Maybe this has been asked before, but would you consider opening up the github issues? This is typically how developers communicate and collaborate on github; while your project is open-source, the lack of code-oriented discussion makes it quite a bit more opaque than it otherwise could be.

Thanks for your hard work, and I look forward to your response.

1. Sounds reasonable, will look into it.

2. Unfortunately every time I did that people tried using it as a support channel instead, including asking for support for cgminer forks, and not for code issues. I'm contactable enough on the forum and via email as listed in the code base that I respond where appropriate anyway.
