Well
That's actually not the API.
Also be aware that the hash rate stats only change once per minute so any polling more than that is pointless
Right, just that JSON endpoint
I made it poll every 10 seconds, probably will change it to 30 seconds minimum, and user set their own polling rate in the long run.
Also, do you have any plans on adding more endpoints to get info on Block Discovery and all the stats that you display on
http://www.kano.is/index.php?k=pblocksUm - is there much point to polling twice as often as it updates?
The hash rate even after 1hr on any pool isn't very accurate.
It's simply people want to see a number, the value is pretty inaccurate.
The only reason it's updated every 1 minute here is coz people connect and want to see their hash rate when they connect ... 10 minutes seems to be too long for most people to wait.
In reality, the current pool settings I run, it's actually a waste of the server resources having it update it every minute.
If that ever becomes a bottle neck (if the pool grew very much larger) that would be one of the things changed to slower, since it really doesn't matter.
Re: pblocks - no use the API - it's already got plenty of information.
