Ok!
Looks like I'm finally mining, I tried up since yesterday and finally I'm mining with the 139jTYFSBed77zXwtZMtVSrMgyYBXF8Fxr Address, the pool is nice looking and I love the way it looks, the part I really liked is you can put your BTC adress as username, one thing I recommend to improve is an optional e-mail when you register yourself to obtain pool related news and announcements.
The 1% fee looks fair to me, and the graphical design is far superior from the standard merged pools, I liked you are mining merged coins with BTC, but I suggest you make them visible, like you say: "We are mining NMC, IXC..."
I think at first you should distribute randomly some DVC (given by community) to the miners to attract them to the pool.


Thanks for the excellent pool, finally we have such a pool that pays out devcoins!

I immediately switched my 3G hash/s miner to your pool and everything seems fine with cgminer. then I goto your page at blisterpool.com, and try to register with my bitcoin and devcoin address, but it shows a message "VALIDATION_ERROR: 'module' object has no attribute 'Validate'". something wrong with the page? or should I do something more? Also, I see the "Stats" Column writing "Coming Soon", I think it should be implemented first, 'cause people don't like throw their hash power into a pool which cannot observe the mining status instantly Smiley

Thanks, I changed something and made a bug, fixed it now Smiley.

The pool is up again, but I'm not sure how stable it is yet. Been fighting with it all day, but it seems...better. It's worth giving it a shot again, but please bear with me while I iron out the bugs.

@Sidhujag: Devcoind is being a pain atm, all of a sudden it keeps terminating for no good reason. Not sure if it's a hardware problem or what, but it's driving me a little nuttybear. I'm recompiling from source now...do I need to redownload the block chain or can I use existing data?

At first it was just opening and closing connections really frequently (as if it couldn't find any nodes it was happy with), before silently terminating. I added dvcstable01 as a node and it seemed to last longer (and did more non-i'm-not-happy stuff), but eventually it gave up and died too. P2Pool was refused connection to the daemon with this error:  Error while calling merged getauxblock on http://127.0.0.1:52332/: I don't know if that means anything to you.

EDIT: hmm the recompile didn't seem to change anything. Doing a -reindex now. It seemed to only get 2-3 connections (been happening only today) and then just dies. Is there a list of other seed nodes anywhere?

Does this error from the debug.log mean anything?

ERROR: CTransaction::CheckTransaction() : txout.nValue negative

Hmm is the mergedmine proxy running? Thats what calls getauxblock..

You using latest source? Try to delete your wallet too if you dont have coins in it...

Is minimg happening when it crashes? Try to just get the mode up stable and synced before tirning on the proxy for the pool.

Did you do a clean build? Delete obj files manually?

Sometimes if its not closed properly it corrupts wallet amd database and crashes when reopened.. thats not a devcoin issue.

Can I vpn in or ssh to see?
