BiblePay - 1.0.7.5
Leisure Upgrade
- Competetive mining feature:
The idea behind competetive mining, is for those with fast processors who mine so fast that they run out of nonces,
this feature automatically adds a tithe for the orphan foundation for a miniscule amount (IE 1 satoshi or .000001 bbp)
IF you run out of mining nonces, and only increments to 2 satoshi again if you run out. However, when the block changes,
the amount is reset to 0 again. Alex and I have tested this and it appears to give a 5% mining edge. Therefore I wanted
to release this as quickly as possible for general consumption. Since it gives a mining edge, I made the feature ON by default.
To turn it off add the key: competetivemining=false to your biblepay.conf file.
- Pool SSL Support (change pool=http:// to pool=https:// and remove poolport=80 in biblepay.conf file to use SSL).
Is it have a problem?I found some upgraded PC can't running bbp process , but old version still running normal....
I tried to reboot or change dns, and changed back to port80 but it seem not work..
quote:
# Error: Error: A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details
Error: Failed to connect best block
I just got the same error. I am reindexing now...
EDIT: Re-indexing seemed to work
1.0.7.5 version seem have problem.
It is the second times occurred , I am re-indexing again.
I worry it will happen again....
Hello all!
I have been following this thread and this project for several weeks now and I am really excited to see the hard work and dedication going into developing all of this. However the last couple of days it seems to me that the only concern you have regarding troubleshooting is with the MN owners, not the miners.
Several people reported the above mentioned error and I also experience it regularly since updating to 1.0.7.5 on different machines, different networks, even different cities across Germany. So the error is definitely not on my side, because also the configurations on these machines differ from each other and each and every one gets this error after a few hours of mining.
However, no one has offered any permanent solution or even explained where this is coming from. I think the only reason so few people have this problem is because judging by the connected peers on my systems most people are still on the working version 1.0.7.1.
So when will this annoying problem be fixed? Another question you never answered was how this new "competitive mining" feature really works. Right now it seems to me that all the update did was giving an even bigger malus to the faster CPUs and DualCPU-systems and more and more degrading mining output. For example my 10 year old Core2 laptop with proclimit 1 is sometimes producing almost as many shares as my Dual-hexacore-Xeon server on proclimit 12, which is absolutely ridiculous.
I understand that your main priority right now are your precious masternodes, but please don't forget about us small-time miners and remember that without the miners your blockchain wouldn't really work either. Comparing the output from before Christmas or even from last week I'm currently at approx. 10%, which barely - if at all - covers my electricity bill.
Thanks for your time and effort and God bless this project!
Hey Dave,
Looks like your comment just answered the question that I posted on reddit. I have an older i3 that is far out performing the i5 that I have. Below are the settings that I am using, and the results that I am getting. The crazy part is that I have a laptop that is outright killing my two desktops on hash rates. Also, I agree that the output of coins received now is lower than what it was before the update, and that makes my chance of getting a master node almost zero. See below:
"I need some assistance please. I just setup two new computers to mine Biblepay tonight, and I am pretty confused by the results.
I have looked up benchmarks for both processors and in every way the i5 should be smoking the i3, but it is exactly the opposite. The i5 should have twice the performance, but it is coming in at under half.
Anyways, here is a breakdown of what I have:
I3 - 2120, no gpu, 8gb ram, win 7, and overall just a slug of a Dell machine
i5 - 4590, msi gpu, 12 gb ram, win 7, and is very fast overall
On the i3 I have the genproclimit=3 and it is using ~ 75% of the CPU. I am getting approximately 950 hashps.
On the i5 I have tried several settings and had to rest a genproclimit = 2 due and 60%. 3, 4, and 5 would peg 100% on the cpu. I am getting 300 hashps at 2, 400 at 3, and 500 at 4.
To top this all off, I have a laptop getting 2500 hashps at 4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated."
I am not seeing the error issue that you are so I can't give you any assistance on that front. Best of luck.
