Re: Bottlecaps 2.0 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS
by

Since I updated to 2.1 yesterday the wallet is using LOTS of network bandwidth. I let it run over night and this morning it was sending at a rate of nearly 100 kb/s. Perfmon is showing Bottlecaps connections with 5-15 kb/s. Debug log is full of getblocks. Deleting peers.dat and restarting wallet doesn't fix it. What can I do?

You can then ban that IP via your firewall.. I won't be doing this personally as I will be needing to send them alerts.  But there is nothing to stop you from removing a peer you deem unreliable.


Banning bad peers via firewall worked, thanks. Are there plans to add some kind of peer blacklist to the wallet? Something like bannode=1.2.3.4.

The Extended Peer Information window has the advantage over getpeerinfo that it shows converted date/time but it has fixed size and the text box is very small. I had to copy&paste to notepad for comfortable reading, so a variable size window would be cool.

I don't think it's 5% premine. If I remember correctly the the initial OP stated 5 coins per block. Probably an error. But it's 5k per block. So I think 0.5% is correct.

unfortunately No.... can check urself!
Wallet -> help -> Debug console ->

type :  getblock thentypehashnumber  //   u will see whole lot of info but this is the important stuff :


That's indeed interesting. Why is the explorer showing other values?

Check the source code. The real premine is 0.1%.
Check the explorer, first 10 blocks were 50k each

Re: [ANN] BETARIGS.COM - Cryptocurrency cloud mining - Avg customer note: 9.65/10!

Sorry if this has already been asked.

Who is responsible for fast pool switching? The proxy or the rig?

If I rent a rig running a custom cgminer/sgminer/bfgminer/whatever that has been configured/patched for - say - 30 seconds pool switch. Will this rig switch pools faster than a rig running standard cgminer 3.7.2 with 300 seconds pool switch?


Yes, it will be based on the settings in your miner. I use Kalroths cgminer v3.7.3 and i think he set the default there as check every 60 seconds, worked flawlessly this morning for my first customer.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but to my understanding the rig has a permanent stratum proxy connection and does not know where it's mining and when it's switching pool, so why should a custom cgminer switch faster than a stock one?

Sorry, by "if i rent a rig" you mean rent from, or put available for rent? If you're enquiring about renting for your own use, then i'm sorry, i misunderstood.

In this instance, i guess it will depend on how fast the server on BetaRigs updates its proxy software to use the new address, because on the rig side the betarigs address is static. So, i would imagine it's pretty fast. This is just a semi-educated guess though, since i have no idea of how BR have things configured.

But, using a custom cgminer will allow them to switch faster from their own mining pool, to the BetaRigs pool. Which means once your rental period starts, their rig will hop over to mine for you sooner. So at the very worst it could save you some minutes of otherwise lost mining allowance.  Grin

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking, only the first switch is faster with custom cgminer. Time required for every further switch is driven by the proxy. Maybe mux can shed some light on this. Smiley

what command do you use in cgminer?

Well, I have a quite complex config file - grown over several months.

What are you getting?

According to the pools blocks are coming every 85 seconds (should be 30 seconds). So IMHO diff is wrong.

Yes for the pool, but I'm more thinking about a botnet or something like this mining outside pools...

Here is the last network blocks :

The average is WAY less than 30 seconds.

Even more interesting. What is this? An attack?

If those blocks make it to the regular chain, shouldn't the pools show a far less avg. time per block statistics? And a higher net hashrate? I'm confused. Smiley

According to the diff, the pool factory should be the closest to the truth.

Me, and others pools are using the getmininginfo return, who says
    "netmhashps" : 293.35217118,

I think it's more a display error.

I'm running several HBN daemons, and they all says the same hash.

I think getmininginfo should be the correct way to get the network hash rate. All pools (plus my client) are showing the same rate, except theblocksfactory.

My theory is if the nethash is RIGHT, the diff is WRONG.
And according to what I see, the last minutes, blocks are coming more frequently than every 30s, so I think the nethash is WRONG

According to the pools blocks are coming every 85 seconds (should be 30 seconds). So IMHO diff is wrong.

That miner is really bad with alot of crashing.
Use the one onliner refered to Wink havent had an single crash with that one

Fixed cgminer: https://github.com/reorder/cgminer_keccak
Also add option --no-submit-stale

This one is better, thanks. But I still have a lot of discarded shares, about 50%. However, a good progress compared to 75% with the maxcoin cgminer. Smiley
