Xolokram updated his primeminer to 0.8 RC2 version, introducing (finnally!) -poolip2, -poolip3 & -exitondisc launch parameters. They are the only change in this release.

I noticed that few days ago and hoped to test it myself, but... preety much this two weeks finnaly came. Looking at beeeeer technical thread doesn't explain much.

From Xolo's post:
I hope that build-in-fallback with improved networking will solve the issues I'm trying to solve with external script.

Thanks!

I hope you will put all links in one place somewhere. Now I have enough time only to lurk few threads on few sites from time to time...

From my experience segfaults aren't that often. I faced connection problms mainly, i.e. when primeminer is working and mining, but not sending shares to pool for some unknown to me reason (and here comes the DMW).

If you don't see any errors in the output, then the catalog with logs should exist somewhere (otherwise, invocated shell programs would be calling for nonexistent resource).

I guess that you still had process named "primeminer" hidden somewhere in a background (yeach I know, it's better to use pid in script...). When you rebooted you simply killed it.
OK, will make bugfix for that (perfect moment, I have shitload of exams now).

I'm happy you got it working, but there one thing more you would want in your case scenario. Script will not start when vps will be for whaever reason restarted.*
You can try supervisor like below. I would be thankful if you would ping me back and tell if it's working (why? see *).

# Instal the supervisor
sudo apt-get install supervisor

# Make a conffile
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/datacoin.conf

# Paste there this, should work... Fat manual: http://supervisord.org/configuration.html#program-x-section-settings
[program:datawatch]
command=/patch/to/datawatch.sh pool mode
stdout_logfile=NONE
stderr_logfile=/patch/to/logs/catalog/%(program_name)s.log
autorestart=true

# Restart supervisor daemon
sudo /etc/init.d/supervisor stop
sudo /etc/init.d/supervisor start

There will be one additional logfile with stderr as you see. Could be set to NONE too, but one more file containing eventual errors doesn't hurt (and might sometimes help).

*It's a bug and feature BOTH. I mine with my pc only, as I don't have credit card/paypal/etc so I can't even try the free trials outthere, and if my pc goes down for whatever reason I want to inspect it manually, and for sure I don't want to automatically stress the machine (in case of cooling faillure for example).

Xpool waits, gpool sends unmatured.

Yeah, upvoted earlier.

Din't see, upvoted, but... They don't like us there it seems

Didn't see, upvoted. Namecoin reddit seems more friendly.

Lottocoin votes are giveaway-boosted now, earthcoins too?

Back online...

Well, actually forcing linux noob to use vi is a well known method of generating random keystrokes (its a hermetic joke ;-).
I'm advanced linux user, so I am able to close vi without that (its autoirony).
Try to use nano editor (its actual advice). Should work nowdays (pros of vi is compability with every wickest console).

Yes, unless patch /home/arkhebuz/datacoin exist on your system. If not, you will get only errors... You should store logs in a separate catalog for clarity.

You should have folder in /sys/class/net catalog, named like your network interface (using linux convention, look here for a second http://rhinoceros.hubpages.com/hub/Arch-Linux-Network-Setup-for-Beginners under "Available Network Interfaces"). There are all accesible network interfaces there in fact, loopback too. You can view them just using ls /sys/class/net (paste here the output if you still don't know wtf is this).

Have you ever looked at the code? I guess not, because changing sleeptime is very easy and intuitive I think... (Hint - there are important comments there too)

However you might still have problems with 4&5, you need to edit in script everything what is NOT bolded here:

./primeminer -poolip=$ip -poolport=$port -poolshare=6 -pooluser=DMy7cMjzWycNUB4FWz2YJEmh8EET2XDvqz -genproclimit="8" -sievesize="1000000" -sieveextensions="10" -sievepercentage="9" 2>&1 | tee -a $logkat/$filename &

./primeminer is a binary location. If you have it under /home/greekbitcoin/datatacoin/primeminer, then paste there this patch.
-poolshare=6 - no need to change with current pools.
-pooluser=DMy7cMjzWycNUB4FWz2YJEmh8EET2XDvqz - set your own address, lets say xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
-genproclimit="8" - number of threads to use, lest say 2.
-sievesize="1000000" -sieveextensions="10" -sievepercentage="9" - well, cut this three out

So, you end up with:
/home/greekbitcoin/datatacoin/primeminer -poolip=$ip -poolport=$port -poolshare=6 -pooluser=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -genproclimit="2" 2>&1 | tee -a $logkat/$filename &

@maxsolnc - Not comment about publishing CC/GPL book to a blockchain? I'm still trying to think of where such beast could be found... But if found it could be used to promote DTC too.

And:
Be carefull with dots, commas and language versions, this can differ from country to country. For example 100,000 = 100 (not mistake, "," is a decimal mark).

Mayby I don't understend something here... It seems for me to be clerarly written on tutorial page:
Poolshare=6, instead of default 7, so miner sends 6-chains too that is. Xolominer accept three more parameters (default values):
-sievesize=1000000
-sieveextensions=9
-sievepercentage=10
I know that these affect mining process itself.

Heh, I'm losing track now

I wrote and liked earlier and don't have the same username but made another comment anyway: https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/41704/page/18

(And now I fear that Cryptsy the Retard will really detete bitcoin...)

Chain browser have some simple problems recently, like http://www.chainbrowser.com/datacoin/address/DD38QeAXrD2QqkjJ1mqMrpTrmiRTQhhC27/. Or maybe its not a bug, but feature

Anyway, little confusion 101 here. For what kind of disscusion is this topic? For what kind of disscusion is that topic?

I didn't say that you should never ever promote anything. Just that (IMO) it's better long term if not the coin itself is promoted, but services aroud it (therby a coin too, but indirectly). Assuming that these services will be succesful, offcourse. And making that is really the hard part, and here (+exchange problem,+attracting devs, etc) comes rationale behind coin-focused promotion.

Heh.. I saw something on twitter and I'm thinking about it from yesterday...

There are books on more or less free licenses, like CC or GNU GPL. They are, rare. Very rare. But they allow at least for free distribution, or even modification. Thats kind of filosophical value, much better propagated in open-source crowd these days...

If we could finde somebody that wrote a book and made it free as in the speech and is promoting it now? Yeah, I know, with these "artist" mentality happens "once every twenty five years"...
I you're feeling hurt with last sentence look at the quotation-marks!

But if we could, what about publishing it to a blockchain? Ideally with launch of service for that, easy to use for layman (there seems to be krypte already). Sending requires some datacoins. Why not crowdfund that?

Yeah, make buzz, set crowdfunding campain, which goal would be sending free as in a speech and free as in a beer book to decentralized, redundant, globally accessible censorship-free storage.
(There could different cash goals, for sending basic compressed text version, text version+image cover, pdf+epub...)

And if content of this book would fit the above...

YEAH.

Hey, storing peoples souls in a blockchain for eternity is NOT funny!
(for us...)

What a... aaa... THX dude! Happy new DTC year!

Yeah, that retard is gone. There is still some trash in newbie offtopic section (https://datacointalk.org/index.php?board=22.0), however. This guy made 24 topics just to say hi.

I upvoted, but you got preety much buried there...

As per twitter: "Some kind of monster!"
Yeach, I'm starting believing that you really are... Maybe you're taking people souls while giving them Datacoins or something...

Not an unknown revolutionary idea but I don't know where to put this...

Could somebody clean https://datacointalk.org/ forum? Ban the bots, delete their posts? Set some captcha for first few posts for new users? I guess admins rarely look there...
Now even bots so retarded that they can't write "porno" right registered succefully!
