Re: Multipool - the pool mining pool (with source code)

Hey Multipool! Thanks for releasing your source, this is pretty exciting. I've been trying to get it up and running on my system this evening.

I've edited the URLs / IPs in Multipool.py for my local LAN.

I'm currently getting the following error in my log when trying to start things up for the first time:

Code:

...lots more connection errors to solo...

I've tried restarting bitcoind, which didn't seem to help. If bitcoind isn't running, it dies sooner with 'cannot communicate with bitcoind' (or something to that effect).

I tried changing some of the ports (I prefixed all of $port, $website_port, and $longpoll_port with an additional '1'), and the Multipool server started up cleanly once and seemed to be able to connect to all the other servers I have configured just fine. I was able to connect my miner and submit shares.

While the server was running, I tried to browse to the local Multipool website (with the updated website_port) to check stats, and got:

Code:

404 Not Found

edit: I think this 404 was because I missed one edit, where you have something about tor exit.

After that, I ctrl+C'd to shut things down and it seemed to shut down cleanly. Trying to start up again with the exact same commandline params, and I'm back to the 'connection error to solo' issues.

Any ideas on the solo issue? FWIW, I'd be fine with (prefer, actually....) no solo mining and I can just configure something else [a PPS pool?] as a static fallback...
