Topic: Bitparking Namecoin Mining Pool [30 GHash/s] (Read 20590 times)
I've removed the 'for testing' from the thread title since it's the oldest namecoin mining pool and has been running fine since moving to the new server 6 weeks ago. The pool has survived some of the crazy highs and lows during the profitable difficulty periods, peaking at 350 Ghash/s during the last one.
For those that used the previous version of the bitparking namecoin pool, before I rewrote the software to what is the current version, I've sent out all the remaining balances that remained.
Started mining on the pool yesterday. Having a deposit issue with your related exchange service. I sent 0.77BTC (as a test) to a BTC recieving address generated by the exchange...the transaction showed up...but has been stuck on 'pending' for over 20 blocks now.
Has it gone through? If not, PM me the details.
The pool was getting overloaded. I've moved it to a new server now and it seems to be operating ok.

Im getting every few seconds, "Problems comunicating with bitcoin RPC" on GUIminer. Is that normal with this Pool?
It seems that the pool has outgrown what its infrastructure can handle. I got a lot of "miner is idle" messages now, so switched back to mining Bitcoins for a while...

Sure, go here: http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin
After that you have a namecoinaddress (resulting from the the getnewaddress command), copy this, you'll need it the next step.
Then use your miner of choice. I use Phoenix so (on a command prompt) run:
Phoenix.exe -u http://MYNAMECOINADDRES:[email protected]:9098/ DEVICE=0 -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=128 -q 3
On the ming website you can access your account with the MYNAMECOINADDRESS and no password and this way you can also cash out to your wallet. If you want to see your wallet content you can type:
"namecoind getinfo" on the command prompt but please note the funds are only shown here after 120 conformations.
If you want to see it sooner type: "namecoind listtransactions" and check the amount (and the conformation count) of the last transaction
Hope this was clear enough, if not please ask

could anyone explain to a windows using noob how to use this?

Getting intermitant connection issues
Set a second miner for each gpu to another pool with lower -f value will roll over

Poclbm miner gives me 165 accepted shares and 41 stale. This is unacceptable.
Pool hash rate kept going up & up but it seemed like it took longer & longer to solve blocks, then it died.
doublec twitter on Jun 6 "Rewrote my namecoin mining pool server in Ur/Web. Old server hit 100% and died at 20 getworks/s. New one at 45 getworks/s and going fine."
Looks like ~130 getwork/s is current limit, I don't remember it getting much higher. This is the only namecoin mining pool at the moment so it got pretty busy.

yeah I'm getting 20-30% rejected as well. wtf
For me it mined all day but I had ~18% rejected. That is a lot (even normally in this pool I had ~5% rejected but I thought that was the sample size).
Is something wrong?

My miner does still get work from the pool but it seems the stats page is down. Only the default nginx homepage shows up.
pool died?
Have that, too. Looking at the output from DiabloMiner it seems there are a lot of invalid blocks or timeouts happening. The hashrate that the pool reports back to you is only based on the valid blocks it counts.
The bitparking guys say it's because calculation speed is increasing so fast that sometimes a block is solved before you had time to get even one share in and that that should stabilize after the next difficulty change.

should I be concerned that my pool hashrate shows as being over 100Mh less than my actual rate?
can someone pls explain how to get a namecoin address and how to use it in general? i read all the FAQs but i still dont understand anything...

Windows: err I guess some endless sequence of clicks here and there...
If you get "i386" after executing "uname -m" at the very beginning, then download and use namecoin_linux32.tgz instead of 64.
