Sample output:
Code:
bfgminer version 3.0.2 - Started: [2013-04-19 18:33:55] - [  4 days 03:20:01]

Luke-Jr, what does "5s" (last 5 seconds?), "avg" (probably average hashrate since started mining) and "u" (this one I have no idea)

Well judging by the hardware BFL is pumping out, it's scary how much GH or TH the hardware dishes out.
If anything the hashrate of the hardware will probably consume bitcoins. I don't know even when I say it sounds dumb, I hope. :<

It won't consume bitcoins, but it will rise the difficulty and make harder to get bitcoins by mining with gpu.

Its production will drop by the half every 2 years, what happens when it reach numbers close to 0?

I know people who mined from the start will be rich, but what happens to the economy? People will stop to mine, how will the p2p network keep going?

At this point Bitcoin will be worth enough that transaction fees make mining profitable.

How can I bee so sure? If Bitcoin won't be worth enough by then, it can be considered a failure long before.

I'm asking because I see bitcoin as a way to free myself from my government, I'm a libertarian, and I'm having a hard time to figure out how would bitcoin be a persisting solution for international currency.

Yes, bitcoin is free money. Not as for free, but like free speech.

I've done some researching, and there are a lot of people who consider bitcoin a pyramid scheme, including the developers of solidcoin.

See: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ#Is_Bitcoin_a_Ponzi_scheme.3F

Also, why do you listen to the solidcoin "developers". Its nothing but a cheap copy of bitcoin by people envy of the early adopters, that want to be early adopters themselves. (I'm NOT a early adopter)



That was very helpful and clarifying. Thank you, Akka. I hope your answers will help people who had the same doubts that I had.

I still can't get it to work with the suggested changes.  Is anyone interested in setting this up for a bounty.



If you want to give someone a bounty to fix your error, give it to maaku. He gave this solution, that worked for me and for slippsnapp:

Code:
{sub_dirs, ["apps/ecoinpool", "apps/ebitcoin", "rel"]}.

{deps, [
    {protobuffs, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/basho/erlang_protobuffs.git", "e0f5f6ea4c3dcb4e7b824496d2b48333fbd5a8c8"}},
    {ejson, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/benoitc/ejson.git", "820ff1725008e664293b88e13c16193857afc072"}},
    {oauth, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/refuge/erlang-oauth.git", "f332b77371d334d0faa13e106d0c36f948b325b6"}},

    {couchbeam, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/benoitc/couchbeam.git", "7148bbdb19aca91b7b74e5392a23c94d33ca4e27"}},
    {log4erl, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/SemanticSugar/log4erl.git", "ec580f75ef9e28dfcfac92dc0d42c435520bd3d7"}},
    {mysql, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/elbrujohalcon/erlang-mysql-driver.git", "1dd4e22a80546fa1bda81607d6397a549fd791ae"}},
    {epgsql, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/wg/epgsql.git", "fc434772276475ac4e5b0bed6b18ed4732502156"}}
]}.

Backup your test_launch.config, delete the whole ecoinpool directory, change the dependencies in rebar.config to the aboves, and run:
Code:
$ ./rebar get-deps && ./rebar compile
This error we were getting happens because of incompatible dependencies. It was getting the master branch of everything, and ecoinpool was designed almost an year ago, so maaku changed the dependencies of everything in his rebar.config to someday close to when ecoinpool was designed.

Interesting! I thought the problem could be my spidermoney version that is different than the version in the README file, but clearly it isn't, since you have the same problem with that version.

How did you install spidermonkey (the mozilla foundation js interpreter)?
On the couchdb version, you didn't show the version itself, only the license version.

I tried once again to get ecoinpool working.
Im pretty sure everything is setup fine (couchdb, erlang) except the last part of the configuration file.

Here is the error i actually encounter:
Code:
root@j064:/opt/ecoinpool# ./test_launch.sh
==> ecoinpool (compile)
==> ebitcoin (compile)
==> rel (compile)
==> ecoinpool (compile)

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump

Anybody here who can post a sample config and a describtion on the nessecary steps from here to get this working?
What parts to be edited, removed, replaced and database settings outside of this config file.

Code:
% This is a setting that certainly has to be changed. Configure one or
        % more worker table replicators here (if you have multiple sub-pools).
        % Please only connect one sub-pool to one table or things get jammed up.

    ]}
].

i am also stuck with the same error can someone help?

I have the same issue.

Let's try to help ourselves, before someone comes to our aid. What distro and version are you using? spidermonkey version? couchdb version? Erlang version?

I'll start:

Distro and distro version:
Terminal ->
Code:
$ lsb_release -a
Prints:
Code:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (squeeze)
Release: 6.0.5
Codename: squeeze


Spidermonkey version:
Terminal ->
Code:
$ dpkg -p libmozjs-dev
(I use debian, that would be rpm for Red Hat)
Prints:
Code:
Architecture: amd64
Source: iceweasel (3.5.16-17)
Version: 1.9.1.16-17
Depends: libmozjs2d (= 1.9.1.16-17), libnspr4-dev

CouchDB version:
Terminal ->
Code:
couchdb -V
Prints:
Code:
couchdb - Apache CouchDB 1.3.0a-ac32047-git

Erlang version:
Terminal ->
Code:
erl --version
Hit Ctrl + C twice to come back to console
Prints:
Code:
Erlang R15B02 (erts-5.9.2) [source] [64-bit] [smp:11:11] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

I'm stuck with this exact same error. I think it's something related to ebitcoin, since line 34 of src/ecoinpool_test_launch.erl is an include of an ebitcoin module. I tried disabling ebitcoin, but the exception was still the same.

Thanks for the info, Graet and sippsnapp!

sippsnapp, that was the guide I followed, but since there are differences between distros and bitcoin versions, I think I'm lost somewhere between these differences. I should have used the versions this guide offered.

Graet, is ecoinpool stable right now? Would you recommend it? I also would like to know if the support is still good. Thank you!

Can anyone tell me which bitcoin daemon version is the best for PoolServerJ?

I know 0.7 won't work, but will anything below it work? Because I'm trying to figure out the reasons of some bugs I've been getting.

And what about namecoind? What are the patches that it needs to make getmemorypool work with it, and where to find it?

Thank you!
