Thanks man, you're one of the few then who understands how I feel. Don't take all the responsibility and kill yourself over it though.

Still missing some of the bounty 
Who hasn't paid yet?
Owed to Kano for standalone project:
- ThiagoCMC - 5 BTC
Owed to ckolivas for mainline integration:
- Chefnet - 15 BTC
Unless my accounting is wrong it is just Chefnet (Thiago looks to be "paying" or intends to pay in next couple days. I will wait for an update from Kano).
Chefnet responded on 1/3/2012. He was without internet.
I feel bad.
Developers deserve compensation, especially promised compensation. If anyone feels this project (now integrated into mainline) has merit and it is wrong that ckolivas hasn't been compensated for all his hard work then please make a donation to his donation address and post in this thread. I am sure in the cgminer userbase we can find 15 people to donate 1 (or more) BTC each to make up the deficit.Sure you can tell yourself "I don't need to pay, I didn't make that pledge", but the end result is still that ckolivas is the one who loses. As a developer myself I will let everyone in on a secret. Developers who feel under appreciated tend to not develop.
Developers start up doing something for fun, and 20 versions later the fun is mostly gone. They then keep "going" because they feel the project is good and don't want it to die. A donation shows your appreciation and keeps the project alive. So if you feel RPC support is worthwhile and has the potential for really cool stuff in the future (which I think it does) then show your support and donate 1 BTC right now. Let me know in this thread as I will make sure ckolivas gets the full pledge one way or another.I'll start. 1 BTC sent to 148KkS2vgVi4VzUi4JcKzM2PMaMVPi3nnq
(txn ID: db281024dbbfa2b06aa4644dd2b7d865fbc5526bdaca68025b2dbf7e68293a58)
14 to go ...
I would like to see ckolivas receive the full compensation promised (even if it doesn't come from the person(s) who made the promise).

If you can't wait, let me know. 
Turbor, have you paid him for me!?! ^_^
If not, I would like to pay that... In a couple days.

Right?!
Thank you guys!!

I wish javascript could talk over plain TCP Sockets...
A simple web client cannot query cgminer on 4028 directly. This is too bad. I was really hoping that I could write a simple index.html that could query any cgminer instance without having to add anything to the server running cgminer.
For now it looks like I will use my python script to proxy calls so that an ajax request can get them.

If the web page is on the miner - then you can add php as easily as you added the web server.
(and if you didn't install the web server, but someone else did - ask them why they forgot php)
A simple web server that serves just html is way lighter weight than installing PHP. My miner doesn't have the space for much at all since its running off a USB stick. It barely had the space for the tiny python site I made.
I was planning on using phonegap to make a monitor app. This creates an app that is just an html and javascript page running right on the smartphone. I wanted the phonegap app to directly query the cgminer instance.
Instead, I am querying a small website that is running on the miner. I've setup my site so it can run anywhere though. It also has some basic caching and can add authentication or any number of things pretty easily. This is probably better than querying cgminer directly anyways.

I'll likely move this over to my actual webserver and set --api-network since litecoin mining is making the site sometimes unresponsive. I'll also get it running on port 80.
Right now the site is super minimal. I'm probably going to use backbone and jquery mobile to make a really easy to use page. Maybe even play around with image generation to make sigs (although we can't use images here anymore
)

Hi!
Guys, how much will cost to add support for Scrypt (Litecoin mining) to cgminer (maybe cgminer-cpuonly)?
Of course, based on: https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer
10 BTC?
So, with only one cgminer instance, we can find Bitcoin/Namecoin and Litecoin blocks!
But keeping the option to mine for Bitcoins using cgminer-cpuonly too, if user wish that...
Best!
Thiago
You should probably make a new thread for this since it has nothing to do with RPC. My hopes for litecoin are low, but this would still be an interesting idea.Guys, how much will cost to add support for Scrypt (Litecoin mining) to cgminer (maybe cgminer-cpuonly)?

You would also likely need the CPU mining to be on a different pool, so this request will likely require more than just scrypt support.
It would be nice if the RPC had a "help" command that output available commands along with a short description of what they do just like bitcoind does.

Hi!
I would love to support this... I can give 5 BTCs now.
And I have a suggestion:
1- Identify a GPU by its "device ID" (possible?);
2- Configuration of each GPU based on its ID;
3- A different "pool / login / worker" per device (fixed by its ID).
This way, no matter if a GPU is GPU0 or GPU1, the ID will be the same, so its own configurations...
This can be usefull if we change a GPU slot or add/remove GPUs from a machine.
It can works more or less like Linux file system UUID, with it, no matter if the device is sda or sdb, the FS UUID will be always the same and the file system will be mounted without any problem if you change the disk connection.
Best,
Thiago

Thanks again. I'll post something that actually uses this soon. Is anyone else who pledged (or not) actually using the RPC yet?

Sorry for the confusion. Sent one transaction and PM instead of posting. Looks like it's sorted out. Thanks again to Kano and ckolivas for the work.
December 26, 2011, 10:12:30 PM
gnar1ta$ has paid 5 BTC + 5 extra for general cgminer dev. Therefore 10/30 of this bounty has been paid, thanks.
December 26, 2011, 09:28:09 PM
Since code is now in the mainline and planned for next official version once tested I would like to wrap up this thread/project and lock it.
Already paid:
Owed to Kano for standalone project:
Owed to ckolivas for mainline integration:
ckolivas says another 10 BTC has been paid but looking at block explorer it came from a single address so it matches no existing pledge.
Update: It was gnar1ta$, he paid beyond his pledge.
If you have paid please update the thread.
If you have not yet paid on your pledge please do so promptly as the code is functional and integrated so further delays are not warranted.
If you have no intention on fulfilling your pledge please indicate your reason why.
Thank You,
Death & Taxes.
Already paid:
- DeathAndTaxes - 30 BTC (+5 BTC more for integration into the mainline)

Well, I got half the 30 BTC bounty, thanks! 15 to go...
If you update the thread w/ person(s) who have paid the pledges I will update the first post.

As soon as I am paid for today's mining, I'll send you my 5 I've compiled your 2.0.9 and it hasn't crashed on me yet
I haven't really done anything with the RPC yet though. Maybe tomorrow on the train I'll get a little something written. December 26, 2011, 02:40:52 AM
