How can I generate the exe to test it in windows?

You need "Internet explorer" compiler  Cheesy
https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-xmr-miner/releases/

Funny, but did you check the dates of those releases? hehe I wanted to actually compile the exe with the latest changes

There are several opensource frontends on the forum just search a little bit Smiley

Here the one I usually use: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=13164.0
Is open source and not difficult to alter (believe me I fixed a couple of things myself hehe)

About the reward system, what exactly do you want to do? With a little bit more of information I can try to help you Smiley

Hope this helps you! I will be around in case you want to ask me something hehe

Hi all,

This is my first post on this sub-forum hope it goes well hehe

I currently have 10 invitation codes for Ingress that would like to sell for 0.02 each, Im also open to exchanges or other kind of serious offers Cheesy

For those of you that want to learn more about ingress you can just search in google for it (as its a Google's game hehe). And if you like crypto this game have some of it too for getting rewards in side the game.

For those of you interested just send me a PM or reply here and I will get in contact with you.

I dont have a escrow at the moment but if you have one that you want to use Im open to suggestions Smiley

Thanks all for at least spending some time reading this Smiley

Just a couple of weeks ago but I will investigate what you comment, just to be on the safe side hehe

Well that depends hehe you always have the almightty TAB to autocomplete for you, and i found faster to work using only terminals with the keyboard, I dont even use the mouse when Im working just for the web browser Tongue

I was kidding about the nexus hahaha but as we say in Spain "if it works, it works" Wink

That was just a joke hehe you can open the file and see all the parameters, nothing something who has spent a couple of hours tunning out cgminer wouldnt know Cheesy

The typical option of donating a % for the developer is the best idea in this cases with an option to disable it, I like you idea of doing the best mac miner Smiley keep it up!

Im almost positively that is what I said, just coz I tested in a lan party with a guy with three 7890 on crossfire just for fun and he got shares and payed and I didnt hehe but lets wait just to be sure.



Im the complete oposite to you, give me a console with vi or nano and I will work my magic hehehe well I dont usually create gui's im more of a terminal addict (like all linux fans hehe).

If you have an spare nexus remenber me hehe Im bored of my ARC S hehehe

I agree about the mobile version with a redirect, it also could be quite easy to implement.

the bat file actually only reads the file with the address and if doesnt exist uses mine, the it lunches a miner with some generic (and a little refined by me hehe) settings. Mostly is for the people who dont exactly know what they are doing an easy way to begin.

And about the auto-config, if you set a default account put a big red message saying that they will give all the bitcoins to you hehehehe

The graph you point me are just for the shares to calculate the speed I told you before, the shares that are gonna get paid are the ones that appear in the front page, thats are the ones the payment is based on.

And you are right the efficiency rating does to have to the DOA but im not really sure how it is calculated.

Again remenber that you cant trust the shares on the miner as most are for hashrate calculation Wink only the 56/1 get payed.

I agree with you on the incentivement, at least for MAC users hehe and of course with a node you dont have to install bitcoind get the blockchain and p2pool running Smiley I also like the idea of just needing the address to mine and the you just need to wait for the payments as you dont even need to go to the website to get paid.

Another note hehe I used the old web version because is quite easy to check on the mobile with just 2G im thinking in working on an android app (sorry but im not gonna pay 200 dolars for a license for iphone lol) that allows you to get the information of your p2pool. And if we get those scripts for the stats it will also be a good way to keep your miners monitored.

Actually i created a bat file for the members of my clan so they can just put their address in a file and connect to the p2pool so they can try mining if they wanted hehe so we have a similar idea Smiley

Lets give you a little crash course in p2pool hehe

1. Once you connect to the node you start receiving shares on your miner (on the logs appear as something like 'got work for miner'). This ones are only for the hash rate calculation.
2. After a while mining this shares p2pool will show your current hashrate and a time. This time is how long you need to wait for an actual profitable share.
3. You get your share. In the logs appear as 'GOT SHARE'. You mine it, and if is not a duple or invalid the it counts.
4. This shares last for around 24h this means that for each block found on that time each share has a reward, if no blocks are found the share is wasted.
5. If you have valid shares and a block is found you will receive a payment in your wallet saying that they are new bitcoins and you will need for the block to be confirmed to get the bitcoins ready to use.

Thats basically how p2pool works. The problem here is that even if you connect to a p2pool node depending on your hashrate you will get the same amount of bitcoins as if you where running it yourself. Thats why the idea of having some kind of extra reward could attract more people. The good things is with more people comes more power if p2pool gets more hashrate the we get more blocks and all of us win hehe.

BTW with 250 mhs i only usually get 4 shares per day, with 1 mhs I dont think they have a block per hour hehe my gues is thats a share to test speed more than anything else.

An idea I just got, Im not sure if you support multiple pools in your GUI, but what you can do is get an option for failovers that if there is no other pool active in case of attack or whatever then they will start mining on this pool, as you dont actually need to access the website to get paid people will still get something.

Just received it, thanks!!! hehe

As far as I know there are no forks, the p2pools I have tested so far have the simple frontend a little bit modified and thats all. I think with a little bit of time the frontend can be improved, first of all the memory problem should be a priority, then I would suggest some kind of stats or even a login so the people can see the stats of their minner, one of the problems of a p2pool node is that they dont give away hashrates or any kind of information, i have been surfing the logs of p2pool for a while and I dont think it will be difficult to have a couple of scripts ready to get some information.

Im not really and expert in php so I can't be of much help over there but if you need it I can work with you on the scripts, programming is one of my hobbies so I quite do it for fun hehe

Also, once the pool is ready I will recommend some promotion and actually to think about something different to offer so people choose your pool over the other ones, remenber that right now p2pool is not the best option for people with low hashrates like me (still saving bitcoins to try to get my hands in an asic hehe) one idea could be to have a small percent of the overall winning of the pool per week put on a wallet and once a week or after reaching an specific amount do a lottery or something like that, between the people who used the pool, it could be appealing and shouldn't be difficult to set up.

Im asking a friend who has a server in that hosting as I dont remenber the name right now, hope they still have this low prices.

I think that you are right and the problem is when you set the website in autorefresh, I didn't have time to check the php code so Im not really sure but probably the memory liberation needs to be optimized.

The latency problem is very strange and more when you have everything in the same computer, my guess is the same as you, a problem with the HD, I dont think that the two apps actually share any written files as both works in network level to communicate. Actually as I ran this apps from different HD's (my server has 6) probably thats where you have the problem. What this does your machine have? at least 7200rpm sata2?

I had p2pool running xubuntu on a 2 year old mac mini but at the end of the day my connection was letting me down and I figured I'd host it somewhere with a good reputation rather than get in to ironing out the wrinkles in my setup at home. I have a great connection I don't want to use for this kind of thing and a crappy connection with a static IP which I don't mind using for incoming connections but it's not reliable enough to run a pool through and in terms of backup I was also including connection problems there and I don't really want to route things through my primary connection using dynamic dns even just as a backup.

It's up now though, at

pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9332
username a BTC address
password can be anything

with the extended p2pool frontend at the same address I'm going to make a few modifications to.

Right now my only problem is increasing latency between p2pool and bitcoind 8.0.1 but I'm not sure whether that's a hardware issue or a software one… luckily it doesn't seem to be affecting mining.

it was mentioned by luke-jr that setting up a sub pool of eligius was a 'beta' possibility but i've never seen how that would be setup so I went with p2pool in the end. A new pool really needs to be able to connect to some existing network if it's going to be usable!

Thanks for offering all that help! Sounds like you have a pretty awesome setup there. Luckily the only testing I need to do now is with the latency between bitcoind and p2pool and the resource usage of running litecoind alongside that which I can test with the old mac mini.

I also tested that frontend for the p2pool but it was eating my RAM if I left it open on the browser so I went back to the old and just did some modifications so it looked pretier hehe, as it doesnt do any kind of managment you dont really need something very pretty as longs as the stats are readable enough. One thing Im trying to setup is an option to search your own BTC address so you dont need to go throught the whole list.

For the server storage I know there is a hosting in France that for around 15 euros per month you will quite a good server with 1 tb of hard drive and 5 tb of traffic, then you can update it for more traffice, power, etc ....

About the latency between the p2pool and the bitcoind thats probably a hardware resources problem, bitcoind uses quite a lot of RAM (at least the one Im running in windows 24/7 uses around 500-700 mb) and some disk. I would recommend you to run a light version of Debian (my basic installation of debian only uses 60mb of RAM) to get the best of your hardware. Remenber that using litecoind and bitcoind will take a lot of resources by thenselves. If in the end you go for a normal pool you will also need to get in count the database cpu/RAM usage.

I also switched to p2pool as to get a stand-alone pool you need quite some gigahashes to actually get something. Even p2pool get only one or two or even none blocks per day with 1Ths.

Tech requirements - I'm guessing running this on a dedicated ADSL2+ line/spare small server isn't going to satisfy bandwidth/processing requirements not to mention the lack of backup

That depend of how much traffic do you spect, the OS, you router, and a lot of variable. The usual problem more than the bandwidth is the router being able to support the amount of connections, so I will recommend some investment in a cisco router for example.

The bandwidth you are looking for is more on the uplink than in the download speed, I have 10 mbps of uplink at home and with two webservers, p2pool, DC++ server, and all the crap my family runs with p2p I never had latency problems, again is also a matter of how you configure the connection.

What do you mean with a smal server? I have a Core2Quad at 2.4 Ghz with 8Gb RAM DDR2 800mhz running two virtual servers and mine and play on it, again without latencies.

Backup shouldn't be a problem, you can set a RAID 1 on the server with two disk of around 250 GB for bitcoind and another RAID 1 with a couple of 2TB disks for the database, at the cost of the hard drives today that means around 400 dolars (going high). Then you can have an NFS to run a backup daily of the whole DB or a differential one daily and a whole one weekly so its faster.

Software - I want to support stratum and GBT and I'm thinking of using eloipool but I'm not sure whether that's possible without a frontend

Here you need to diference, one is the software for the pool and another the frontend.

The pool simply gives you a way to manage the miners that connect to your server, the frontend gives you and GUI to manage other aspects like payments, hashrates, etc, etc. They are usually php websites with some cronjobs to be run on the server to do hashrate calculations, block finds, ...

Quote
Whether I can set up as a 'sub-pool' - for instance have eloipool taking and returning work from eligius.st and taking a 1% cut, until the pool hash rate is high enough to run on it's own

This could be interesting, as far as I know the pool connects to your bitcoind to get the work, dont seem very likely that it will allow you to set a subpool, but, as I say, Im not really sure about this one.

Quote
Payout methods (must be no risk to operator), and starting without investing (giving away) BTC before the pool finds it's first block.

I would recommend PPLNS or Score as slush pool. Last one will encourage people to continue minning till a block is found.

Quote
Should support BTC and LTC

Again shouldn't be a problem. As I explained before you have two components the pool app and the frontend. The pool app is not a big deal, you can have two instances running in two pools with bitcoind and litecoind running at the same time, just be carefull that you dont have the same ports for both of them.

Then you have the frontend that would need to be created to support both currencies, usually the frontends you find around are for BTC or LTC, you can always edit them or create your own.

Im having some network stability problems from a few weeks to now that is being investigated by my ISP (after hitting with the router half a dozen technics asking me if restarted it hehe), but if you want I can set a virtual server on my computer for you to do the test with a little bit more of bandwidth ( I have two 100/10mbps connections, still working in the load balancing).

Hope I was of any help, if you need something else from me feel free to give me a shout Smiley

Sorry guys, the system time got screwed up somehow.  It should be fixed now.

You may receive some erroneous alerts over the next couple hours.


I still dont see anything it shows that I earned a little bit (Iremoved the miners as soon as I saw that I couldnt even get my bitcoin address on place), When I try to change something it doesnt even reflect and I received one email saying that I changed something and nothing since then Sad

If that file is not being generated one reason call be that the option doesnt exist or the name is wrong, that would be the usual.

For how long have you been running the pool? I supposse that your client is full synchronized so the problem is not that its still downloading the data hehe (happened to me Tongue)

Btw in bitcoind the option for the pid file is -pid as well in pushpool, you sure you have the right option?

Well fixed the .pid file... still no shares in table shares in mysql database.

Problem is Pushpool is not generating shares... but only... how to fix  :@

whats the uptime of the pool? I mean, how long have pushpool being running? it could take some time to get a share (like in p2pool) and probably as right now you are doing the same as solo mining could be that the hash rate is not enough and your are getting a long poll before actually sending any share

Im currently testing with 4000 KH/Sec... no a single share given for 30 min.

Im running pushpool myself right now checking the sql logs and also dont see any shares on my minner but quite some long polls (running bitcoind), I would recommend to let it run for 24h or more, if you are not in a hurry of course, to see if it shows something, crypto coins are not usually something you can test in a few hours while solo hehe
