Error in the cfg.

[mtred]
...

Notice how for Mtred it is "user:scarium" and for btcg it is "user = c00w_test" with an "="

Which is proper or will it accept both?

I really want to figure out how to get just these 2 going and I already got MtRed up and running on it. These are the only 2 I mine from, any help would be truly appreciated. Thank you kindly,

yes it has that small error, put ":" instead of "=" and it should work, btcg isn't used anymore so mine at your risk

btcworld just gone rogue on stats

@bb:

the problem is the payout. That's the main problem with multiclone.

You have to change BitHopper to use Usernames (easiest way would be bitcoin addressand not multible worker for every user), let BitHopper generate a stats file for every User on your Server.
This would be easy.

But you have to maintain a "Main Databaes" with all shares per server, per round, per use summited and then scrape the Data from your "main" account, to rate every users share and pay them out automaticaly.

in my optinion a git update is a lot easier and you don't have to depend on a admins account.

Multiclone had the problem, when a Pool Op baned his account with all the shares.

EskimoBob mentioned in another thread earlier that we might have a better rep if instead of switching to a predetermined backup pool in such downtime, if we switched to whatever pool is on the longest block. Would dedicating JUST the hashes that would've gone to backup to such a pool be seriously detrimental (i.e. bring efficiency below 1) or could this be feasible? If it doesn't hurt anything and I'm just sending those shares to ars/eligius anyway I'd rather help a pool I hop out. It'd give us a better image and make pools more willing to stick with hoppable algos.

This would totally bring profits down. You would be joining a pool when it is least profitable. The profitability of eligius is constant.

A centrally managed hopper has a lot of advantages actually. The biggest one being not having to worry about the hopper every day.

Just imagine a nice website that lets you enable/disable all the pools you like and some poor admin handling everything else...

Has anyone compared the performance of bitHopper with, say, multiclone.us.to? I understand that using multiclone means I'm entrusting my hashes to a third party, but apart from that, are there performance differences?

As far as I can see, multiclone currently hops between btcguild, btcmine, mtred and slush (and reverts to "solo" mining if nothing fits) whereas bitHopper seems to use a set of different pools. Wouldn't it be most efficient to have the largest possible pool of pools to hop between?

Not sure how multiclone hops btcguld and slush since they have anti-hopping measures? Anyway Bithopper is a superior option as multiclone is essentially the same as someone running a copy of Bithopper on their server which everyone connects to. You can add more pools to the rotation in Bithopper if you want, it's quite straightforward.

Why is your formatting with the "=" and a space " " where as every other one is with a

"user:x"
"pass:x"

Huh

??

sorry was a mistake...

Can someone explain the behaviour of this proxy please. Why is mine currently mining on my backup pool when there are no errors on any of the 4 pools that are configured? Is it because they have passed a certain number of total shares?

Yes, at the current difficulty bitHopper mines until a sharecount of 1690906*0.4 = 676362.4 is reached and then switches to a backup pool.

Ah gotcha. Thanks very much.

yep that should be normal behavior, while waiting to see the script hopping I would be reading some pages of this thread to understand how it works, increase efficiency Wink

Alright, I removed the

 tag.

Phorensic. You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thanks for your cooperation.

Thanks. This was actually a good little stress test for my code and database. Identified a big bottleneck in two queries that I fixed today. Just about done unbanning IP's that are still using the old HTML method on our site. Use the new config if you are reading this!

I tried to include no HTML besides a

 tag that other pools are using in their JSON output.  What is the most compatible way to output my JSON?

No HTML at all. Just the JSON text.

Edit: now it's valid JSON, here's the correct code for bitHopper:

Code:

[btcmonkey]
name: bitcoinmonkey.com
mine_address: bitcoinmonkey.com:8332
api_address: https://bitcoinmonkey.com/json/api.php
api_method:json
api_key:shares_this_round
role: mine
#CHANGE THIS
#http://bitcoinmonkey.com/
user: username
pass: password

Thanks phorensic!

it's working fine that way, you should consider memcaching and updating every minute if you want to have efficient stats and low cpu on server Wink

edit: now working with json, count with us in the next run

@hawks5999 nice... my imagination just got loose

just managed to conf. bitcoinmonkey (thanks phorensic)

Code:

[btcmonkey]
name: bitcoinmonkey.com
mine_address: bitcoinmonkey.com:8332
api_address: https://bitcoinmonkey.com/json/api.php
api_method:json
api_key:shares_this_round
role: info
#CHANGE THIS
#http://bitcoinmonkey.com/
user: x
pass: x

(i get an api error though, shit)

You get an error because there's html in the json response (view source).
Here's a working one:

Code:

[btcmonkey]
name: bitcoinmonkey.com
mine_address: bitcoinmonkey.com:8332
api_address: https://bitcoinmonkey.com/json/api.php
api_method:re
api_key:"shares_this_round":"(\d+)
role: mine
#CHANGE THIS
#http://bitcoinmonkey.com/
user: username
pass: password

 tag that other pools are using in their JSON output.  What is the most compatible way to output my JSON?
