I have changed the top post for 0.8.2. To install 0.8.2 delete the git/bitcoin directory and start again from the clone bitcoin command. When it has finished building bitcoind and you have copied it to /use/local/bin and restart bitcoind. You should be on the new version. You don't have to change anything in bitcoin.conf. If you are using a local wallet make sure you backup your .bitcoin directory before you install the new version.

questions:

1. to upgrade from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2 are the commands simply "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade"?
2. how do i check bitcoind version # from the command line?

For point two, run

Code:

bitcoind getinfo

. The version will be listed at the top of your output.

Re point one, not 100% on this myself. Am looking into it and will let you know what I find - unless someone else here could help??

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.
