Bithopping increases difficulty.
So it does work for you for a short period...

Care to elaborate?

You move hashingpower from pools with bad luck to pools with (hopefully) more luck, by hopping.
This will increase the total of blocks found in an hour = increase of difficulty.

Hopping doesnt increase the likelihood of finding a block, it only moves the the same hashing power to a new pool hoping to get paid more per share due to proportional payouts.

There is no network hashrate increase/more blocks found(out of the norm) or anything, simply poolhopping cant rewrite the luckfactor involved in finding a block, that is random and allways constant.

If you dont understand the concept then please dont comment on the effects it may have.

Why is BTC World going to api_disable state.
If I restart the script, it mines fine for a while and then it is switched to api_disable Sad

EDIT: Log shows: Disabled due to unchanging api: btcworld

Thank you for your help

I am going to answer this myself

would like to try to run in win32
installed Twisted 11.0.0 for Python 2.7 ( msi | exe)
not sure what to do
thanks

I'm on Win7 x64. I'll tell you what I've learned.

1) Install python first. Then each of the packages mentioned in the readme should detect where the python directory is to install into.
2)Read / research forum, and download and unzip your desired fork of bitHopper. It seems c00w's is the most well rounded.
3)Edit the users/paswords/api's/roles in the pool.cgf.default and rename it to pool.cfg
4)Create a shortcut to python.exe to launch the bitHopper server.
   4a) Open your shortcut's properties and change the "Target" and "Start in:" fields to match your file locations.
   Example:
   Target: C:\python27\python.exe C:\bitHopper\bithopper.py
   Start in: C:\bitHopper\ (The "Start in:" directory must be bitHopper's directory)
5) Open your shortcut. Point your miner to localhost:8337 and your browser to http://localhost:8337/stats.

That should get you going, however there is much to learn before you fully understand everything you can or should do with bH.

Do I need to restart script after difficulty is changed?

No bitHopper checks for difficulty every 6 hrs (and on startup). Restarting will force the change immediately, but with a few hours patience it will update automatically

So which Pools would you recommend right now??

Mine: Ozco, Mt Red, Nofee, TripleM, Polmine, bclc (I'm probably pretty much alone on this one).
Backup: bitp.it and ArsB

Any way to add deppbit?

See 4 posts up

I have been mining successfully on the above pools, and agree with you on bclc. I want to add that bitclockers has been ok for me over the last 24 hrs as well as bcpool. bcpool has done well for me, and I think they don't mess with those who donate.

[18:39:28] Error in pool api for ozco
[18:59:11] Error in user api for btcg
[18:59:11] Error in pool api for arsbitcoin
[18:59:11] Error in pool api for btcg
[18:59:11] Error in pool api for bclc
[18:59:11] Error in pool api for eligius

How can I fix this?

My config below..

BTCG doesn't have pool-shares in the api anymore, hence it defaults as disabled. If you want to use BTCG use it as backup.
Eligius and ArsB are both *PPS, no api key defined, hence trying to look any information up will fail.
ozco I don't see any problems with, except you have commented it out, so it shouldn't report anything at all..

Thank you..Was quoted out by intention.

Is there any way to make deepbit as backup on the proxy?
I know i can split hashpower, but it's not too..optimal.

Code:

[deepbit]
name: deepbit.net
mine_address: pit.deepbit.net:8332
role:backup
#CHANGE THIS
user: 11111
pass: 11111

Poor impulse control.

I'm getting database errors still. How do you reset the db?
