PoolMonitor is a menu item that keeps track of the status of your bitcoin miners in slushs pool, giving you a constant indication of how your miners are working. PoolMonitor will also give you up-to-date sell prices for BTC to your local currency from either MtGox or Coinbase.
PoolMonitor can also be used as a price ticker only, if you dont enter any API key.
For tracking your pool status, all you need to get started is your API key, this allows for read-only access to your account statistics.
