***PLEASE HELP***
I tried to upgrade everything python + eloipool. Now my pool doesn't work! It all started with simple
Code:
import jsonrpc
ImportError: No module named jsonrpc

I have tried
Code:
cd python-bitcoinrpc
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install
ls
cp -Rf jsonrpc/ /usr/local/lib/python3.2/dis-packages/

And it made it worse!
Code:
2013-05-12 23:08:19,014 merkleMaker     CRITICAL        Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/json/decoder.py", line 361, in raw_decode
    obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

*** Solution***
found old pantehicon's fix!
A quick fix is to decode the bytes into UTF-8. On line 72 of bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py change:

Code:
Code:
self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair)
to read:

Code:
self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair).decode()

Hope this helps

Reduce Pool Load by Using Proxy?
by
voidale
on 11/05/2013, 17:00:18 UTC
I'm owner of a private pool (using eloipool) Now my idea is that if all miners connect via proxy server (HTTP/SOCKS) (In the miner client like cgminer etc...) It will be like having 1 big client (With a lot of mh/s). It will improve the server load? Are there any benefits?

Got this new error any idea what this means?


Code:
May 10 08:04:05 <12>Change from height 235474->235476; no longpoll merkleroots available!
May 10 08:04:05 <12>clearMerkleRoots running out! only 0 left

Can anyone tell me how do I upgrade eloipool to latest release? And always was curious why Longpoll woke up has 2 lines and which one of them is accurate one says 20 clients and the other 5 clients weird? Also got another question does increasing the difficulty of shares mining reduces server load?

Code:
Longpoll woke up 20 clients in 0.278 seconds
Waiting 4.58 seconds to longpoll
Longpoll woke up 5 clients in 0.000 seconds

+ Bug Report
Looks like Statrum Protocol isn't working on CPU mining with Ufasoft + Also when trying to connect to eloipool pool server statrum with stratum-mining-proxy (Slush0's) it will not connect and will give the following error:
Code:

I got a question API requests are persistent? So if I reopen cgminer it will use default config arguments? Or will it use the ones I used on via API (Anubis front end)?

ERR: socket connect(ip,4028) failed (timeout) 'Connection refused' ERR: socket connect(ip,4028) failed (timeout) 'Connection refused' Tried the older version 1.03 and same error  Huh

Update: Socket aren't supported on hostgator Smiley gotta use something else or on localpc.

Another question is API requests are persistent? So if I reopen cgminer it will use default config arguments? Or will it use the ones I used on Anubis?

I started having the same problem with cgminer when I switched over to LTC (scrypt) mining.  When I'm mining LTC it's as if cgminer's api port isn't listening.

As a science experiment I switched back to BTC mining and Anubis could connect again.

I posted this on the cgminer thread but it was ignored.

I'm running BTC mining and having this error, Tried an older CGMiner version 2.11.3 and same as 2.11.4.
Does this mean we have to open the ports on the computer (Turned off windows firewall)? Not sure how to fix this...

Hey guys got this error on anubis panel when added new host

Connection to MyRigIP:4028 failed: 'Connection refused'

This is what I use in CGMINER
--api-listen --api-network --api-allow W:MyHostGatorWebHostingIP
CGMiner screen:
API running in IP access mode on port 4028 (11460)

What is the issue? :X

Hey!

My name is Mark, And I have finally decided to get into BitCoins, I remember when I saw bitcoin was worth $4 but thought to my self ah is this  a scam some kind of scheme and didn't do anything about it, And then I saw it was like $12 and said Dam I should've bought shitload of it I missed the opportunity sucks. And now when it's huge $137. I'm definitely late because I think that soon it will drop sharply or the goverments will screw it. But I'm going to try Smiley


I really need help with my mining pool, I got it setuped bitcoind + pushpool + mmcafe frontend. The issue: Pushpool process doesn't stay a live I use "top" command to see CPU usage I can see pushpool appearing and disappearing. And then it's just on 90% CPU... and it seems like the front end site mmcafe is down for sometimes and then back again with lags. And the miner gives the following error: pool 0 http... is not responding
I was fine before when I had low mh/s around 500 but now around 1000mh/s there are issues :/ any ideas?

There are known performance issues with pushpool at current, I'm not exactly clear when they kick in. I don't think they were ever solved. Most people who hit them moved to other pool backends.

Yeah I have moved to eloipool Smiley as well! Works much better...

I can finally post, Don't have to spam Luke via PM's! And this might be useful for everyone else as well. I was wondering will Eloipool.py will use all CPU cores, Or I have to use something to make sure it does? Looking to balance the load for it. And any tips on how balancing the load on the ports and some optimizing tips?


edit: How can I see Mh/s stats? And what should I use as a miner username the bitcoin address? I'm using random name and it generate shares with no issues is this fine or I must use bitcoin address as a username in my miner?

Whitelist request!

So this is how you post in other forums finally I found this thread. I'm looking to post in the other forums because I'm creating my own mining pool and I annoy Luke over Pm's too much Smiley I want to post in the Official Eloipool thread. I'm a regular user trying to mine and use the latest software sometimes I have issues and would love to get some help/tips.

Thanks!

Well I have just installed it and it's really great (Great Job Luke!)

Wanted to ask if anyone had the 100% CPU issue? I have fresh install done some small optimization like ulimit and nothing special can't figure out why it's 99-102% CPU...

p.s Can't post on the official thread maybe this can become some help thread for newbies. I had some more issues I fixed and some Luke helped to fix so If you got issues post them here!

Re: Building a BitCoin Mining Rig

on 09/04/2013, 22:16:24 UTC
Nobody is replying because there is no answer to that question.
There are 3 companies that make ASIC's for Bitcoin mining

Avalon - SOLD OUT batches 1, 2 & 3 - This means that you can't buy one until they decide to make more
ASIC Miner - Mining with their equipment, not selling it - This also means that you can't buy one
BFL - Taking their sweet ass time - You can buy one, but have to wait in line for it with the 1,000's of other people that have pre-ordered

Those are your current choices.

EDIT - You can't build your own ASIC rig either

So, if I cannot build an ASIC miner on my own, there is anybody who knows if some of those three companies is looking for funding to get a bigger production? Undecided

BFL waiting line is 4 months or more? Huh

Greetings!

Yep, Having an ASIC can make you rich. But it's hard to get doesn't matter if you got the cash to buy it.

ASIC is the best, Where to buy I don't really know. Looking for it too Smiley because it's always limited stock so really hard to get... To build your own I think it will be hard. BTC is the main currency and worth much more than LiteCoins. It's easier to get but worth less Smiley
