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

"user:x"
"pass:x"

??

Also btcguild has the wrong formatting it looks like.

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

is this worth to be a
backup pool?

since today it is possible PPS
and 1.95 BTC Bonus for block finding

Tested it for a few hours now, made a few more changes pushed to git (penalty wasn't being factored in the initial commit). Looks like it works. Threw in btcg for fun, time slicing between 3 pools now...

@hawks5999 nice... my imagination just got loose

just managed to conf. bitcoinmonkey (thanks phorensic)


(i get an api error though, shit)

Indeed, and it works MUCH faster in the IT world than in nature. The people complaining are almost always the ones who can't keep up.

Probably beats the alternative of never finding a block. BitHoppers may fly away with some profits, but at least you have profits. Otherwise you just sit and burn electricity and wear down your components.

Funny thing is you could probably go back 6 months and find complaints about pools.
And go back further and find complaints about GPU miners.

Next up: complaints about p2pool destroying all other pools
Then: complaints about FPGA miners destroying all our investments in GPUs.

It's called evolution.

Let's face it, by the time the 21st million block is found there will be 3 international mining conglomerates left fighting over that last satoshi. Probably they will be Visa-Mart (from the 2024 merger of MasterVisa (2019) and WalCosTarget-Mart (2020) representing consumer financial), Chase-Exxon (from the 2027 merger of Chase-Sachs (2016 when JPMChase takes over every other Wall Street bank) and Exxon-BP (2014) representing institutional energy and finance)  and GMBY (which will be a global GSE a la FNMA - and yes it will be pronounced "Gumby"). They will have a combined 97% of the hashing power and the other 3% will be the small gamblers hoping to compete with their personal 2 Exahash/s Intel Quantum Home PCs. There will be probably 10,000 or so of these miners. Probably none of us will be them...

OK bitHoppers, I have created a simple JSON api that will feed your script without destroying our server.  Please use https://bitcoinmonkey.com/json/api.php .  Also, please note that we have full SSL support.  The config in bitHopper was using the non-SSL port of our Apache.

I will slowly start unblocking IP's so those of you using bitHopper will regain access.

That seems quite weird, as bitHopper uses not that many ressources to have an impact there...

Maybe an issue with Aero/overclocking software silently failing/???

In regards to going from 300Mhash/s to 240Mhash/s using the bithopper, it is reflected in GUIMiner.  Using the exact same flags, setup, miner, everythign.. bithopper loses almost 1/5 of my total Mhash power on every single card or computer I test on.

Not worth it if I am wasting 1/5 of my Mhash and using the same exact power.

*I am a freaking moron.  One of the flags didn't paste all the way.

interesting chat with (presumably) the poolmunity.com owner  http://poolmunity.com/index.php/topic,69.msg262.html

(site down for maintenance, last seen at ~22.00 CEST)

edit: site is up again

hehe, this is life get over with

 

• Merged flower's time slicing mod
• Added startup options to enable slicing (off by default) and set slicing size
• Also showed slice (seconds) left in web stats as well
• Refactored backup server into it's own function
• Added additional parameters to log_msg and log_dbg to prefix log messages

Available in my tree for now: https://github.com/echiu64/bitHopper

Feel free to pull back into your respective trees.

Only tested it briefly... more changes to come.

This is just an example. I have similar DNS problems with all the pools and web sites.


NB! BTC Guild stats are announced 1 hour after discovery to discourage pool hopping.

thanks for doing that json thing, if you have issues getting a boost from hoppers let us know. I would recommend waiting a few days to have some data and compare results with and without

Yes I started banning IP's because I couldn't figure out why all of a sudden I had 2 new unique IP's an hour refreshing our main page every 2 seconds.  I mean really, does the client need to hammer our site that hard?  Thanks to one of our users he pointed me to this project.  I can unblock you guys if you stop pointing bithopper at the main page.  I understand if I publish a JSON feed for the main pool stats I won't have this problem.  I am long overdue for developing that feed, looks like it is time to get it going.

1. How are you getting the btcguild pool stats? Or are you using them for backup?
2. from their forum thread:

So change your address to one of those.

edit - just checked the btcguild website. Total shares are there now,regexpable. Yeee-ha.

... or you could easily add the pool servers to your "hosts" file

OK, I'll try to sort out a regex for you tomorrow and PM it to you. If you need it sooner, you could try it yourself - I brushed up on regex here http://www.andymatthews.net/read/2009/10/22/A-beginner's-guide-to-regular-expressions which was enough to figure it out.
