So, I wrote a simple stack to check the current price of BitCoins from Bitstamp.net and allows the user to set a high and low value at which to sound the alarm.
It seems to be working pretty well. I am having two issues:

1. When saved as a standalone, sometimes the stack stays running in processes after it has been closed.


2. I am not a programmer, and Have been using 3 fields to parse the DATA from bitstamp, I think I am going about this wrong.


I have uploaded a copy of the stack, and commented the script, most of the important bits are in the stack script. I would appreciate any comments or help!
Thanks for looking!

I guess the stack size is too big, so here's a link to my stack "chicken timer"

edit: the above is a new link, the original i shared actually had the close box greyed, fixed now.

Hi treefolk,

1. When saved as a standalone, sometimes the stack stays running in processes after it has been closed.

You've got the destroyStack correct but I think you should cancel out any running messages from your send <in time>.

Checkout "pendingMessages()" in the dictionary (specifically the notes).
