hey just checking in if there is a way to monitor active difficulty? I remember you saying it was on the list. I was thinking, is it possible to set it up to open up, umm not sure on the word to use, so ill say "shell" (I grew up on dos) of bfgminer while multiminer is running it? like a right click toggle "shell mining program" and it opens a cmd window of what bfgminer (or whichever miner) is doing in realtime? I ask because I speculatively mine nonlisted coins solo etc and sometimes do switching, I have to open up a pool I am registered with to monitor the difficulty etc.
So a few things:
It's totally possible to get the difficulty from BFGMiner, I already looked into this for you and started to make some progress. Here's the problem: just because MultiMiner knows the difficulty doesn't mean it knows all of the other parameters it uses for mining: profitability, exchange rate, etc. So I guess what is the benefit there?
Next, it's not possible to display the mining window while MultiMiner is using it. I've tried and it's just not doable the way I'm wrapping input and output etc.
Finally, you can access the API though. I linked a utility several posts back:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4v0ri2ax39stgax/MultiMiner.Xgminer.Api.Client.7zI use that to test API commands. You can run it with two arguments, the first is the port and the second is the IP. Then you just send API commands. For instance, you can type coin and hit enter to get back difficulty.
