OK I think it works, but I'm a little confused by this display output (below) - it seems to increment the aux block numbers, but not the main chain?

Wow. What a difference it makes to use the distro that the readme was written for. I blew away my CentOS 6.2 install and decided to have one last try with a minimal netinstall Debian stable. It was positively pleasant to set up, with only one or 2 places where I had to do some manual stuff. (Is wx actually needed? I was able to build couchdb without it, but ./configure kept complaining that it was missing.) It is now running with no errors as of yet, and I am going to have a poke at it to see if it works.

Yes, until this project matures a bit more (i.e. beta 0.4 is reached) it will remain a solo project.

p2k: This project looks kind of stalled, last commit on GitHub 2 months old. Any near future update/development plans?
I keep in contact with him, he's currently working on a large (paid) project and is very busy but does plan to be back asap Smiley

looking forward Cheesy

Yes I was finally able to build CouchDB after some wrangling with SpiderMonkey, but the eventual install of ecoinpool was spewing errors of all kinds, and acting a bit funny. Likely something that I missed in the configuration. I've given it up for now.
JS support is kind of tricky. Did you try with Xulrunner 1.9.x instead?
And don't forget to adjust your LD_LIBRARY_PATH - point it to the correct js install - before starting 'ecoinpool'.

A few weeks ago I installed 'ecoinpool' on a RHEL 5.7 box (running on VMWare).

Take the latest Erlang and build it as recommended by p2k; then build CouchDB using this http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_RHEL5 (section "Building CouchDB from source "); then you can follow p2ks guide again.

So I decided to give this a shot, just for fun. I see in your examples that you are using ubuntu, is there any particular version and/or architecture that works best? Also, does anyone know how to properly set up a paravirtualized pygrub loader for an encrypted LVM on Citrix XenServer?

I usually use Centos for my work stuff, so if that would be compatible I would prefer that.

What does it mean when its branching for 1 block

Nice setup P2k so far have found 2 namecoin blocks, and 1 bitcoin block solo mining. So I can say that your pool backend works great.

My cgminer is showing over 100 effeciency.  Its at about 147%, is this normal.  Also when a block is found will it show it on the output screen or do we have to just check the bitcoin daemon.

There is a lot of complexity involved with multi chain merged mining, most of it related to shares logging, configuration, correct handling of stales etc. However, ecoinpool has partially be designed to support multi chain MM at some point in the future without having to rewrite the entire server component.

Awesome project so far.  Are you working on it yourself?  Are you planning on allowing more then one chain for merged?

Yes, ecoinpool still crashes if the blockchain wasn't loaded by the local bitcoind/namecoind as mentioned in some posts before.

There won't be any console output except warnings, so this is normal. Try to follow the logfiles in the log folder for more detailed messages.

Yes, there should be an ebitcoin client for namecoin or the system will fall back to block change polling 5 times per second. The document update conflict seems to be a bug. Try reloading the page before you fill out the form and click save.

If only I had more time at the moment. Now I know how shadders felt back then... Got work up until night; free time is rare and when I finally have some, I rather use it to relax a bit. Looking at my deadlines, I need at least one more week before development can continue.

Was able to get this running and have a miner connected to showing that shares are being accepted in http://localhost:5984/ecoinpool/_design/site/_show.   I'm not getting any output on the command prompt line except for New aux block, new main block every once in a while.  Just wondering if there should be something showing up.  

Also should there be an ebitcoin client for namecoin?  When I try and set this up I get document update conflict.

I made it to the part where I'm trying to add a worker and I get
While requesting a new user ID, the pool server did not
respond in time. This usually means that the pool server
is down or currently unreachable.

As you are an admin user, you are advised to check your
firewall settings so that this URL can be reached:
http://localhost:8888/

Could this be because the chains haven't finished downloading.

It's kind of funny that there are now bounties for setting ecoinpool up while I'm working on the bugs and features which will make setting up so easy that everyone should be able to do it Cheesy

But well, I'm not fast enough due to real life work load.

I hope so.  I still haven't had success finding someone to lend a hand or a stiff bounty wanted.
