Re: HELP ME :( Pool mining with multiple computers on the same network

Personally, I use a pool with Stratum support, then I point all of my miners to a system (In my case a spare BeagleBone, lol) that is running the Stratum Mining Proxy.  I then have the Stratum Mining Proxy connect to the Stratum Pool of my choice and force all shares to be submitted via a single username/pass (via -cu and -cp flags).  I point *all* my systems, even those that support Stratum(like cgminer)... so not just getwork clients, to the Proxy so that I can flip them all to a different pool with only having to relaunch the Proxy pointing at the new pool.

Too bad... I liked this one for some reason. But where one closes another will open I am sure. Good try and thanks for the nice few days

Thanks BrewCrew, wish I could have figured out why the block discovery rate was so low Sad

Hope you are able to find a good pool that meets your needs.

@ Joerii quoted "Im getting close to what's in the estimate now" ---

if your mean estimated coins per day... ive found this to be inaccurate on all mining pools with pay per round, even ozcoin ( well established pool) the estimate is hardly ever correct... ( i guess thats why it says "estimate" lol) remember too that pay per round pools you need to stick with for a while to get anything from it.

if youre referring to speed / i think with some mining pools it figures your khashes via shares per hour / half hour.. meaning it takes up to a full hour to update your speed.(even 50btc takes a while to show full speed)

@  kendle & Joerii  --- ive noticed with feathercoin there is a bit a reverse logic to getting more shares out of your rig... ill let you guess at what that is Tongue   with the right setup, you will produce more shares with less khashes. i use cgminer, im guessing youre both using the same. adjust your settings and watch what the site reports over the next hour... dont just go by what your miner says. rinse and repeat. let me know if it works. who knows.. maybe im crazy(i am), but i do this more for fun and learning then anything else, so im constantly trying every combo of miner setting and driver version etc..

pool also does not pay out until 120 confirms on block.. keep that in mind. ( keeps everyone safe in the long run)

here are my payment times since i started mining last night, it took a lil while for them to start (120 confirms) but after that it was steady, i also increased my autopayout amount so the times slow down towards the end.. seemed like a waste to make that many TX's

i gotta go finish scrubbing the greasemonkey off my hands from fixing the gf's car, then its time for a glass of wine !

Thank you for the great explination cygnusxi.  You are right, since this is a PPLNS pool, you have to mine for a bit to start seeing you shares count towards a payout.  It also has the reverse effect in that if you stop mining, you'll actually keep getting credit for a bit since some of your previous shares still count towards new blocks.

i tried but i can't find pool that works with guiminer scrypt

any error codes? what says the konsole?

just says "starting"

You should be able to bring up a Console Tab which may give more details.  Also, check to make sure that CGMiner was packaged with the version of GUIMiner Scrypt you downloaded... I seem to remember one of the versions I download didn't have it.  It did the same thing for me... said "Starting..." but never did start, which is because CGMiner wasn't even there!  In the console tab it should say something along the lines of where it is trying to execute CGMiner, so look there and verify it is really there Smiley

What version do you have installed?  I know there are a few different links out there with a few different versions.  One version has the additional option of "Stratum" which can be set to "yes or "no".  Some other versions don't display this option at all.  Please forgive me, but I don't remember which version DOES have the Stratum option for cgminer as I don't have access to my miner that uses GUIMiner Scrypt at the moment.

MySQL server has gone...

what's going on ToasterLint?

Yup... I restarted the MySQL services(a 2 second process) without realizing that the Stratum services didn't like that and wouldn't try to reconnect on it's own.  After discovering this and then restarting the Stratum services, it started to accept connections again.  Full explanation is in the First post on this thread... sorry!!!

I'm about half way done with crediting coins from the first to blocks.  It should show up in your ledger as credits for blocks 21028 and 21051.  Everyone who helped find block 21871 has had their ledger updated, I'm just having to go through manually and do the math to add it to your current account balances(this is the part I'm half way through with).

I might not be able to finish this last piece tonight, but will tomorrow as soon as possible and will update this thread and the News section on the site once I've finished.

Thanks again!

Alrighty!  Done going through and updating the Account Balances for the remaining accounts that helped find block 21871.  Looks like a few of you have already even verified you did indeed receive the "bonus".

It's great to hear someone else is getting their payouts!

As promised, I'll be distributing the coins from the first two blocks I solo mined from earlier to the first group of people that stuck with it.  Payout will be based on the ratio you were paid on block 21871.  I've chosen this block since it happen only a short time after the first "public" block and to make sure that my miners don't skew the results any since I had my miners working for a bit before going public and thus had a larger share for when block 21855 was found.

Only thing I ask is that you give me a little bit of time to "crunch" all the numbers and update the balances on your accounts as I'll have to dig into the Database and work it all out.

Thank you once again!

^ Beware guys. He registered today just to promote his pool. Think deeply before throwing your power his way.
I registered day before I made and put my pool up.

Boxman90, you may want to check your facts a bit... I've been registered since Apr 8th Wink

I do understand your concern though, and while valid, I have no devious plans.  You can check the original announcement thread to see that payouts are indeed taking place and I'm doing everything I can to make sure this pool operates as expected!  I hope to be able to not only gain the trust of the other members of this community, but also yours Smiley

wow! fast!! just happen to see new block detected in my cgminer, and in less than a second just received 2nd payment. Grats on your pool. thats the fasted auto payout in the altcoin world i think!

That's great Cygnusxi!  Right now it is configured to go through every minute to check balances for auto payout... as mention in another post in this thread I may need to scale it back some once more people join (should at no point be above 30 minute increments though).  Right now the server is holding up pretty well, but I'm keeping an eye on it.

Toast, FYI I couldn't setup my account until I filled out the (optional) email field. Thought you might like to know.

I didn't fill that field out and when I submitted it said 'all good, login now' or whatever. Couldn't login.

After filling out the email fields, I was able to login and now I'm Hashing away Happily on your server.

Arachnid, not sure what the issue was exactly... I just tested myself by registering another account and I didn't have to fill in the e-mail address.  I verified it did indeed create the account as I was then able to log into this test account without issue.  Maybe just a one time fluke???  Please let me know if this happens again!

Wow, lol, I'll admit I was beginning to get worried!  Thank you ALL for sticking with it so far.  As a thank you, I'm going to go ahead and distribute some additional coins from the first two blocks I mined earlier... once the last block we found gets distributed(to get an idea how much each person should get)

Once again, thank you all!  Now to just wait for the confirms!

Time Since Last Block   15 Hours 39 Minutes

The pool found 2 blocks this morning, half an hour apart, and that was it... what happened there?

He was just testing it himself then probably backed off....or was extremely lucky.  I'll give this pool another hour or so and see what happens....with our hashing power there should be a block or two found pretty soon.

You are right!  My measly 1MH/s was able to somehow get two blocks within 30 minutes of each other overnight, lol.  That would be why the time since last block found is also way up there... Because I did indeed back off a bit along with making some changes that interrupted my miners at the time.

I hope my good luck earlier doesn't come back to bite me now that I made this server public! Lol

If no block found soon I will distribute the coins from those two blocks out to everyone currently mining as a sign of good will and a thank you!!!

giving this pool a try now. fyi your payout system says LTC.... minor front end problem but ive built a few websites in my day and i understand that on initial launch some things are often over looked. ill post a screen shot for everyone as soon as i get a payout.

ive mentioned this before on other posts.. i have 2 web servers, and im looking into hosting some crypto projects. and once my 2nd server ( just got it about a week ago) is ready ill be launching some mining pools. if anyone needs some web space for your crypto coin project let me know Smiley  

Doh!  Thanks for catching that!  Yeah, I've just modified the cookie-cutter mmcFE front end for now... just something to present while you guys focus on working the backend with your miners.

No, that is not the case... if this should work out, I plan on releasing the updates I've done to Stratum to get it working with FC(which should also work with Litecoin)... info on this alone is a pain in the neck to find!

Yes, I haven't posted much, but I didnt' join just to promote this pool... and in fact when I first joined I didn't intend to run a pool at all.  I like the idea of a altcoin based on Litecoin and with the need for a Stratum Pool not really out there, I decided I'd give it a go.

If you don't want to throw all your miners at this pool or any for that matter, no loss on my part, and no hard feelings! Smiley

I really want this to be legit, I do.
I think you should make some posts around the forums, to show you're trustworthy.
If people steadily get paid from your pool, I'll jump on board 100%.
Do you have much experience with running servers, etc.?

Thanks Altmine!  I hope to gain your trust soon then Smiley

Actually, my main profession is as a Network Systems Administrator of 12 years for a large company, so I do understand how to configure, monitor and maintain a server... good question!

I'll give him a chance.  

Hey toaster, what's the auto payout schedule?  Every half hour i hope.

Thanks Deft!

Actually, the auto payout should be configured to trigger every minute.  Just tested myself (with part of the reward from the 2 blocks I got while mining while testing this setup! lol) and worked without issue.  Please let me know if you encounter an error!

As more users jump on the pool, I may need to scale it back to roughly every 20 - 30 minutes, but don't see the need right now with the resources of the server still riding at a good level.  If I do end up changing the auto payout schedule, I will be sure to update everyone!

Op has 8 posts guys. Can we be certain of trustworthiness?

I understand your concern, I guess the only excuse I have is that I'm sort of quiet type of person!  I hope to be able to gain the trust of not only the users of my pool, but of the Crypto-Coin community and the users of this WONDERFUL forum!

I was trying someone else's FC Stratum Pool and after wasting a few days and not getting squat I decided to tackle it myself.  I had a bit of a head start as I was also working on trying to get a Litecoin pool up... but at the time there seemed to be enough of those already so never really finished my endeavor.

When FeatherCoin was announced and after a couple of days still no reliable Stratum Pool, I decided to get cracking at things again.  As I said previously, I used this setup myself with FC and tested everything I could think of and haven't had any issues.  As such, I decided to then release it to the world.

I'm constantly monitoring the server and will keep everyone posted if any news should come up!
