A Notice to Watchmine users
Due the recent thefts of bitcoins, the release of a bitcoin Trojan and the hacking of MtGox I would just like to re-assure WatchMine users that their data is safe.
WatchMine does not store any user data so there is nothing for hackers to steal. WatchMine temporarily uses your mining pool apikeys to access data on your behalf – but these apikeys are not stored and cannot be used for anything other than read only access to your mining pool statistics. There is no database backend to WatchMine that can be compromised.
In order to protect WatchMine users further, I will be further hardening WatchMine’s security. Other planned features (except urgent bug fixes) will be on hold until this is complete.
I take your security and privacy very seriously. Please PM me if you have any concerns.

..snip..
If I were you though, I'd take into consideration the fact that most cellphone users won't want to type out your current URL. You ARE planning on getting a top level domain I presume?
Niger domains cost about $300/year but I can't help but think that would solve the length issue and trademark issue in one fail swoop. ^_^
Watchmi.ne
As you can see, I'm into using the TLDs as part of the name whenever possible to assist with branding. I'm also very comfortable and used to purchasing foreign TLDs as I have have had many businesses in Korea.
Let me know if you need any assistance sometime. I'd be happy to see what me and my crew can do for you and I wouldn't mind including a version of your app in our eyeOS webtop application store for our social network.
Peace!
I'm quite comfortable with the IP advice I already have. Thanks for offering your opinion. The code I have written (beyond the FOSS libraries I build upon) is copyrightable. The name is not trademarkable in my jurisdiction because it is two common words - I'm already considering changing the name before I come out of beta for this reason. Nothing in WatchMine (currently) is novel enough to qualify for a patent in my jurisdiction.If I were you though, I'd take into consideration the fact that most cellphone users won't want to type out your current URL.

I could be interested in a domain later. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll keep it in mind for when I come out of beta.
Any chance of a demo view of the EyeOS webtop app store social network thingy? I have a passing interest in such things. More than happy to sign any reasonable NDA.

BTCGuild support has just gone live. Will work on Bitclockers tomorrow.
Nice work! Any chance of getting more details like the "Rate" as you do with BTCMine? Or # active miners? Anything that can help tell at-a-glance if things are working as expected would be far more helpful than just the balance. Thanks again! June 19, 2011, 09:05:16 AM
It would be great to have this pool included: https://www.bitcoins.lc/
Sure. Added to my list feature list. I have a couple of things I've promised to do first but should have this mining pool added within 48 hours.EDIT: this pool does not yet offer JSON data that I can consume. I'll wait until they have that implemented first. I'll look again in a week or so.
(I considered writing an HTML scraper, but I'm not happy with the privacy implications of taking username/password details that I'd need from users to make that work)

Nice.

Thanks for the tip! If there's any feature you'd like implemented just let me know and I'll see what I can do. Bookmarked; tip sent.

Exactly 'what' part of your work is copyright? As a jQuery programmer, I couldn't help but notice that this is just 2 jQuery includes by very talented duded. Maybe next time you want to make something, don't be worried about someone 'stealing it' when it's already been... borrowed. 
I'm glad you like my work. Obviously I cannot claim copyright over jQuery or jqTouch and I imply no such claim. What I can (and do) claim copyright over is the code that I have written and the screen layouts that I've produced for WatchMine. This includes WatchMine's html, javascript and CSS. And yes, in every country whose IP law I've examined copyright is valid for computer code and screen layouts.I wish I could be less worried about people stealing my work - but it wouldn't be the first time. The legal advice I have is to assert my rights from the beginning.
It's good to meet a fellow jQuery programmer... it's great isn't it!

Where is the gain in adding add yet another layer which may fail? Running metapool as webservice is nonsense. Better is to provide small local proxy which can run directly on miners - and I'm not talking about existing php&mysql beast, but simple python/ruby script.
Wrong thread?If not then, I guess the short answer is that WatchMine is intended to run on mobile devices for when the miner-operator is away from their rigs.
OMG, yes, wrong thread :-). I'm sorry, guys

Bitclockers mining pool support added too. Also some bug fixes and some more code refactoring.

I cleared the safari cache and it's working for me now! I figured it was a cookie or local cache but didn't know how to clear it out. I'm adding my stuff in now and will let you know if I think of any other features (the only other one that I have right now is re-ordering the items, but you already mentioned that you are working on it 
Many thanks!
I'm glad that it's working for you now. I've put appropriate no-cache headers onto the data feeds so that should also help things.Many thanks!
I'm working on the re-ordering feature but it's proving a bit of a tough once to do right. ETA could be as long as one week due to other commitments.

Bitclockers support due within 48 hours. Hopefully less.
I'll take a look at a Retina version for the apple-touch-icon.png. My first priority is on functionality though.

Looks great!
One quick nitpick, the apple-touch-icon.png isn't retina optimized.

Simply amazing!
Mind adding support for BitClockers.com Bitcoin Mining Pool?
JSON API:
Pool Stats: http://bitclockers.com/api/
User Stats: http://bitclockers.com/api/APIKEYHERE/
If you need any more information I'd love to help!
