Congrats

, saw kano's reply in the stratum thread. Assumed something like he said, but he can explain it properly

edit: I will have a look at 8.2 next few days and change the tute for it.

The block my setup found yesterday was on mainnet. I also tested briefly on test (about a month ago).

While I can't confirm that this solo setup works with avalon asic miners (yet), I can confirm that if properly configured as stated in this thread that it does properly credit an external wallet address with a few humble GPU miners configured as stratum when a block is found. Grin

was this on the real Bitcoin network or test net?

for me, it worked perfectly on test net and i've left it running for over a month and a half w/o mining and bitcoind/blocknotify is updating perfectly w/o any lapses.

Quick update:

Everything was working fine, it was just me being paranoid. It found the block at about 106%.

I think jspielberg hit the nail on the head!

Thanks for your replies!

I was under the impression that under 100% means your round was lucky and over 100% means you weren't.

Thanks for replying tiktoc! I have posted on the stratum page but with no reply Sad

So thought I'd try my luck here. Have you experienced it at all? Or do you always find the block under 100%?

I am getting the progress value from the pool table in the database, which does display on the stats page, yes.

You will have to ask in the stratum pool software thread about that. Is that coming from the statistics page?

Thanks for the original post! I have set it up successfully, just wanted to check something...

the round_progress has gone to 105%. Should it not have found something by 100% or is this just the average?

Basically, is it normal for it to go over 100% or should I be worried??

Thanks Libertybuck -

I agree this thread was much easier to follow and end up with a functional pool server at the end than the eloipool threads.

I don't have my avalon yet, so I am just testing with my GPUs, but if it works fine with your avalon, then I will probably do the same with mine.

Best of luck to you!

I believe you have received your avalons already no?

Yes. Already.

Quote from: jspielberg on May 25, 2013, 08:45:44 AM

Would you care to comment on your experience with this setup of using slush and the avalon? A number of folks are using eloipool since Jeff posted a rough howto earlier.

I have been tempted to wrestle with eloipool again, but slush worked much better out of the box. Mine is happily setup and running fine with my testing GPUs... (28 days in and 3.4% of the round completed! Shocked

). I really like that slush has the little status webpage.

I tried https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.60 and https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/my-pool-pool-server-in-a-box-172151 , but I do not have enough skill to make neither of them work.

To try tiktoc's tutorial, I prepare a fresh ubuntu server under vmware esxi. I do it step by step according to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1712011 . All are quite smooth. Currently I am testing and studying the pool with icarus. Will point avalon to it later.

Are you using a external database like mysql?
What section of the tute did you get the error in?
I havent seen the error before you might be able to get more answers in the pools forums there is thread there for stratum pool software.

Sir. Thanks for your reply. I have fixed the issue. It was because I did not install sqlite on that fresh ubuntu.

Replace the bits you need to

Code:

# bitcoind upstart script for Ubuntu

description "Bitcoin daemon"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
respawn limit 10 60
setuid yourusernameforbitcoinhere
expect fork
exec /usr/local/bin/bitcoind -datadir=/home/yourusernameforbitcoinhere/.bitcoin

Code:

description "Start and stop slush on bitcoind start"

respawn
respawn limit 10 60
expect fork

start on started bitcoind
stop on stopped bitcoind
setuid poolusernamehere
pre-start script
   sleep 30
end script

chdir /home/poolocation/git/stratum-mining
exec twistd --syslog -ny /home/poollocation/git/stratum-mining/launcher.tac &

Thanks tiktok. Got it working now. On my system, upstart did not like sleep 30 or sleep 30s, so I moved all the waits and other checks to my own daemon which calls execl phyton/twistd process. Works ok. I just need to add some smarter monitoring of bitcoind and twistd to my daemon.
Thinking of polling 'bitcoind getinfo' or something like that, instead of sleep.
