Don't forget FBX too if you do

Yeap have my pool running smoothly now, I guess pooling is the way to go as the difficulty increases

More than 40 blocks and we just had our first orphan. Code didn't work as I expected it to with multiple users. Your balance still showed your share, but it never would have paid out. I updated the script so it will immediately pull orphaned amounts once discovered.

Thanks for the testimonial. Please message me if there is anything you'd like to see improved. I'm not trying to have a deepbit level of server here but I always try to stick to the keep it simple philosophy.

Sweet. I mined 40 LTC in the past 2 hours, I mined for 4 hours last night without finding a single block...

Correct, 120. That's when it will let me pay out the coins. As soon as they are available to the server, you can request an instant payout and have them in your hands immediately.

120 i think

how many confirms does this pool wait for?

LhMeXbqD718Eg7cKxMACRJzuKWu5wPb4yH_1 was the user that actually found the 4 share block. Congrats on your portion on of it.

I'll add some cooler stuff like who found what blocks and stuff in the future. Things are humming along very nicely. My first public pool like I mentioned before and very fun. I am enjoying this a lot. It's like solo mining on steroids I know I don't get all the blocks but it is so fun to find them!

Woohoo, lol

We just found a round with 4 shares in a couple of seconds. 4 people each just got 12 coins from that block.

That's been fixed guys. You'll see those three blocks all have the same payout.

This is my first public pool, so set up backups if you can. I don't want someone to be pissed off at me if something happens. Cool? We are mining about 1 out of 5 blocks which matches up exactly to the current pool hash rate. Thanks for making it a success guys.

Since this is an alt chain pool, should I put it in the pool thread too? This forum seemed the most appropriate place.

Guys, just had a problem with the pool. Never had the chance to test the function to call the stats update in case one hadn't run and there was a block found. Path name was a typo and so two blocks found very quickly back to back didn't get awarded.

10702    27    10/15 12:51 am    2 Min    1    0 LTC
10700    29    10/15 12:49 am    2 Min    1    0 LTC

I am going to take the results from the previous block, 10698 for those that were connected to the pool and award those two blocks at the same ratio. That's the fairest way I can easily do it because stats had not calculated for that round, and the stats for that were in the next block.

Give me a few minutes to write the insert query. They will mature like normal.

Yes, and I got a longpoll a second after I submitted that share.   What are the odds that my share was the one that won it since I keep showing up in the top stats?  I'd say pretty darn high. =)

It's not a block.

AFAIK, when you're connected to a pool, that "true:YAY!" just confirms you submitted a valid share.

I love seeing
[2011-10-14 15:28:38] PROOF OF WORK RESULT: true (yay!!!)
[2011-10-14 15:28:39] LONGPOLL detected new block

That's like the 3rd block I've solved for the pool since joining.  Course, when I mine solo, it was 1 block in 24 hours.  And that an orphan.

Quick note in linux - you'd do the same thing for configuring as above, but replace the .bat with a .sh that looks like


Then run  it from command line typing ./filename.sh

You also have to make sure the .sh has 'execute' permissions, which in Ubuntu is as simple as right-clicking on the file, and setting the correct properties. (there's a checkbox that lets you make it executable, I think, not on Ubuntu atm to check)

( or you can learn the chmod command )

Thanks for your help wannaBhacker, coblee, and saethan.

Lets see how it goes.

Guess its time to start using Linux. I have played a little with Ubuntu and will setup a dual boot.

n.olmos

You have to make a .bat file that looks something like this:


Where, in my case I'm using minerd-ssse3-core2 because it's a specific compile of minerd that's optimized for this laptop's processor using windows.  I use a totally different compile on my linux machines, each one compiled for those particular machines.

--scantime # chooses how many seconds to spend on one piece of work, can tweak it depending on if you see stales.  If you see a ton of 'boo!' coming from the minerd output, try lowering the scan time a bit.

--retry-pause  is how many seconds to wait to retry if you can't get work from the pool - if you set this low you're going to spam the pool, too high you'll miss out on possible work if there is a failed attempt to get work.  Minerd defaults to 30, I think, if this isn't set.

--threads says how many threads to use, on a dedicated miner set this to how many cores your CPU has, on non-dedicated make it your total cores minus 1 so the program doesn't take over your whole system (or use all cores but set the priority low in windows task manager)

ip/port replace with the pool's ip port  (in this case
http://184.107.145.244 which I assume is defaulting to port 9332 - different servers can change the port number if they wish, though)

I think for this pool  you'd just do --user LTCADDRESS_1:1 through 9 (LTCADDRESS_9:9) instead of --userpass

After you've made a file that looks like that, save it with a .bat extension, and run it from the directory you have minerd in.

(edited this a bit because some things I said made -no- sense xD )

I don't do windows either, but I heard windows binary crashes when you don't pass in anything. Try running "minerd.exe --help"

I'm not going to be able to help you so much. Some of the fish in here don't play with windows very much. I can give you step by step build instructions if you want to dual boot into linux. But if the windows daemon is crashing on you, not going to be able to help you. Sorry.
