I still have a problem with p2pLP - My router seems to drop connections (like LP connections...) quite fast, so I rarely actually get Longpolls. I hoped p2pLP would still notify me of found blocks (didn't yet look deeply into the code to find out what's going on) but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Would it be possible to just set up an IRC bot that announces each block on the network and the (either confirmed or guessed) pool that owns it for people like me? The input could still come from bitHopper users via this ranking mechanism or whatever you actually use...

@deepceleron: how are you getting on with LP penalty - Did you end up with a significant increase in accuracy?

Regarding this issue: https://github.com/c00w/bitHopper/issues/177#issue_comment_form

Manual triggers for mine_deepbit pools

If a feature like this was added, being also able to execute this function through win/*nix commandline, would allow for extremely easy writing of tcl/mirc scripts that could catch blockannounces in certain IRC channels and do manual triggers. This would effectively enable hopping on pools like deepbit, btcguild etc.

Anyone else getting an error where BitHopper stops after a period of time?

It just gets stuck...

[14:16:38] writing to database
[14:17:38] writing to database
[14:18:38] writing to database
[14:19:38] writing to database
[14:20:38] writing to database
[14:21:38] writing to database
[14:22:38] writing to database
[14:23:38] writing to database


+1 for this since i got the latest version

EDIT: this still isn't fixed in the latest version... just a heads up.

I get an LP call then constant "writing to database" messages.
renders my miner useless until i restart bithopper Sad
occurs every 30 minutes approximately for me.

The poll is pointless. If enough people say it's ethical does BMU turn off their hopper-cheating mechanism or if enough people say hopping is unethical will he just keep cheating hoppers?

I doubt the former will happen and the latter will happen regardless. When you have an unethical pool operator who has no qualms with cheating a portion of his clients, there is really no limit to how unethical he'll be.

The real poll must be: "do you think BMU pool ops are ethical?" :p

I got the same problem as @kbsbtc, BH just freeze the stats page and keep showing "writing to database", miner dies and have to close and run it again.. (v0.2.2.4-68 with --auth --p2pLP and OldDefaultScheduler)

Also getting a lots of "Not enough votes in one direction to make a decision"

and also I send my firsts shares to BtcGuild Smiley

Can anyone send me an invite, please? I am keen to read it.

Sorry, Tobin, hoppers only.

Although I am not actively contributing to this thread, I am nonetheless a hopper (I even use my own hopper, which I have written long before bitHopper started to exists).
Is there some kind of examination which one has to pass  Wink.

Not really  Grin  But hoppersden is for info we don't really want leaked

I saw you've been a forumite since early June and you've never posted anything anti-hopper (harrumph, Magnet  Wink ) so get in a few posts here and someone will send you an invite soon.
So it seems I have to share my secret knowledge with you all Wink.

One small contribution:
As most of you know, Bitcoinpool has wrong JSON stats. I have seen that bitHopper uses the round duration and the pool speed to approximate the current share number. A somewhat cheaper (in terms of bandwidth) and maybe more exact method is the following:
Grab the account info of an arbitrary user in json-format, e.g. http://bitcoinpool.com/user.php?u=cristy&json=1 .
You see his submitted shares and his estimated rewards for this round. You can get the approximated number of roundshares easily by

appr_shares = 50*(submitted shares)/(estimated rewards)

Example:
submitted: 14670
estimated: 0.52180054

appr_shares = 1405709.55

This method can be made even more exact if you know how much the user donates.
Maybe it is worth it to be added to bitHopper.

I posted this exact method a few days ago and nobody seemed to mather Sad

Nope, doesn't seem to be there at all.   Weird.

Fixed, I think. I hit 'draft' instead of 'publish'. Duh. Mind checking to see if it worked?

So simple, yet obvious in hindsight. Nice one!

While we're on the bcp subject, any ideas how to get around the IP blocking (for the stats, can still send through shares ok)? I'd just use hotspot shield and then set the url to be localhost:895 but hotspot shield is not available for linux. Know any handy (easy, free) browser based proxy/vpn? All the ones I looked at cost money, weren't available for linux or had no english translation.
