Yes, I don't understand though, how is cpuminer suppose to direct to the stratum proxy when my cpuminer is set to visit litecoin pool?

It just don't make sense to me.

The proxy handles all communication with the pool. The miners will only talk with the proxy.

Example. Let's say you run the proxy on a machine whose local address is 192.168.1.42. Then you will start cpuminer with something like the following:

Code:

minerd --url http://192.168.1.42:8332 --userpass username.1:1

The username and password are the same you were using when minerd was connecting directly to the pool.

If you are using cpuminer, you can lower your stale rate by running the Stratum proxy. You only need to run one proxy for all of your miners, as long as they are all within the same local network. More information about setting it up is available on the help page.

Hi, pooler, I've tried that proxy thing u said, but I was never able to get it to run, go or work.

Could you make in detail, how to use the stratum proxy for cpuminer, please? Like, how to specifically set it up?

The instructions on the help page seem pretty specific to me...

You start the proxy on one of your machines as follows:

miner_proxy -pa scrypt -o litecoinpool.org -p 3333

Then you connect your miners to that machine on port 8332 with the usual pool worker username and password.

If you have any specific question, feel free to ask.

I use all cmd lines to cmd with batch files, I don't use the gui thing.

Edit:
Also, when I get this straightened out to work, how is the fallback pool suppose to work if ltc pool goes down?

In order to encourage miners to adopt the new Stratum protocol, which allows for very low stale rates, we are not paying for stale shares anymore. To compensate for this, the PPS fee has been lowered to 4%.

If you are using a recent version of cgminer, you are already taking advantage of Stratum.
If you are using reaper, you are strongly encouraged to use cgminer instead.

Has Litecoinpool user base shot up about 200 users? And I think the KH/s rate as increased by 150,000 to 200,000!!
What Huh

All this because the cost of Litecoin as increased? Wow.

This wallet was deleted off the computer. How do I unlock and put in a different payment address?

Send me a private message or email with the details, or contact me on IRC.

0.00000926 per share CMO too little maybe when you increase earning then maybe ill continue mining here.

Compaird to this I think ill stick at that until rate goes up.

I know you have mixed Diff on pool however one question regarding this. Do you get double the amounts so if i get a share at 125 i will get 125x the amount for mining it ?

The PPS rate currently shown on the site is what you get paid if you solve one share at the lowest difficulty that can be served by the pool. Most other pools use a much higher, fixed share difficulty, so the PPS rate they report is higher.
This doesn't mean that you will earn less, because if you mine at our pool you will be credited many more shares.

Regarding adaptive difficulty: if you find a share that has a difficulty which is 4 times that of the minimum share difficulty, it will be counted as 4 shares. This allows to measure workers' speed more precisely while keeping bandwidth usage optimal.

So, what do we think the basis is for these attacks?

As always, there can be many "reasons" why one would want to attack pools. Because they hate altcoins, or because they want to manipulate network difficulty... who knows.

While I'm here, I'd like to announce that the pool now officially supports Stratum mining.
http://www.litecoinpool.org/news?id=39

Most cgminer users have already switched to Stratum automatically, and need not change their configuration. If you're running a version older than 2.10.3, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
Miners using cpuminer and/or Reaper are encouraged to use a proxy if running multiple miners in a LAN (instructions are available on the help page).

Pool is down for me. Switching to another one...

GL w/ that - they are all being reported as down.

Nope. Found one... not going to say the name out of fear it will be attacked too, but if you want to know pm me or do more research.

Hi,

Is there any harm in using the same worker for multiple machines? I have a bunch of slow machines that I planned to use, but I didn't want to have to set a worker for each of them. I realise that it will make troubleshooting individual machines harder, but are there any other issues?

You can connect as many miners as you please using the credentials of a single worker. It causes no harm.

What you may notice is that your miners will find fewer shares, because the share difficulty will adapt to your hashrate. However, this will not affect your earnings, as higher-difficulty shares are worth more.
