Maybe this is a possible future feature of cgminer, being a proxy itself.

Gimme a break Undecided

Then cgminer can get me some coffee too Wink

Actually, this is a must have feature. If cgminer is going to support BFL ASICs, which include a "coffee warmer", I think cgminer should interface with my coffee pot to brew my coffee as well.

Stands to reason...

Hopefully by now you should be able to cgminer directly to stratum pools more reliably than through the proxy.

2.8.4 is a dramatic improvement in stratum reliability.. /nod /thankyou

Sadly, none of my individual miners are fast enough (right now) to get over a 1-diff, but together they can get 16-diff when run behind the proxy.

Slush:

I ran into an interesting failure state today, and the stratum proxy, I believe, played a roll in the failure. I posted over in the cgminer thread about the cgminer portion, but wanted to post here about the proxy portion.

Scenerio:
- stratum pool proxy is pointed at crashes
- clients behind proxy stay connected to proxy, but get no work
- since connection doesn't 'close' cgminer didn't demote the pool
- all GPU's idling and cold

Shouldn't the proxy, in some way, tell the clients when it's primary upstream connection dies?

It is working implementation, basically you need to install dependencies (twisted and stratum packages), copy config_sample.py to config.py.

run
easy_install stratum
easy_install -U twisted

yup found the twisted file and ran that but I get an error saying cannot import module stratum.

Is there a guide for setting up a stratum server? I see the github files but it looks to be just defining the protocol not a actual implementation.

Code:

twistd -ny launcher_demo.tac -l -

However I don't think too many people tried it yet, so ask me if you'll have any issues. Or even better, join #stratum irc.

Well, I thought these features are already included in miners. I'm not sure if adding all these features to the proxy is in my time capability :-(

3. Show diff per share submitted in console?

Check latest git version.

Thank you! Works like a charm!

RE: #2, logging, was hoping to have a log file to pull data from, # of shares per minute, average diff, stuff I can generate easily if I have a logfile, and can then graph. At a minimum, it would be nice to have in syslog so i can redirect it to a central syslog server, on a local1-7.

1. Fail over/back/load balance/etc for multiple servers.

Proxy reports all failures to miners, which usually have quite strong support for all kind of failovers and balancing already. If you want to load balance between two stratum pools, just run proxy twice and let miner connect to them.

2. syslog facility/target?

Hm, what do you want to log? Just information about new difficulty? I don't think that logging of accepted shares should go to syslog...

Proxy version 1.1.1 has been released, including EXE version for Windows. If you're running proxy version prior 1.0.2, I highly recommend you to update.

New version of cgminer, 2.8.2, fixing the variable difficulty bug has been released. Also new to this version of cgminer is support for the stratum commands client.reconnect and client.get_version.

Looks like the windows version is broken still. Sigh Undecided

Linux users it should work fine.

Fixed in 2.8.3.

Thanks again for the proxy, loving it.. two small feature requests:

1. Fail over/back/load balance/etc for multiple servers.

2. syslog facility/target?

3. Show diff per share submitted in console?
