Davout could you please explain to me what test-net and main net is? And how do I access these rights to viewing your setup?

Aww, that's cute

Ok, so testnet is pretty much another blockchain.

As its name states it's a blockchain that is used for testing purposes, it works exactly like normal bitcoin mainnet, except for the coins that circulate on testnet have pretty much no value and are used to perform whatever tests you may want.

Currently there are approx. ~30000 blocks on testnet and difficulty is below 100, makes it very easy to generate blocks, that's why I use it to test my pool. I can generate loads of testcoins and see how my pool reacts to an OK block, an orphan block, if payments to testnet addresses are handled correctly etc.

To start your client in test mode simply close it and restart it with the -testnet switch, it'll then start to download the testnet blockchain up to its current latest block, and then you're good to go.

Bitcoin block explorer and the bitcoin faucet both have a testnet mode that is very useful to view your generated blocks, or to get 50 testcoins sent to you.

One language at a time. I plan to break the community-exchange.org network into deployable nodes. So best to go with something better than request nazi (PHP) but not so rare it's on a milk carton (Rails). I will eventually make the nodes work in Rails and PHP as well.

makes sense, just note that rails has this awesome capistrano tool that everyone uses and that makes deploying on tons of server as easy as typing a command and inputting a password (litterally!)

Also I've added you to the bitcoin-pool repo if you feel like looking at the source, just don't publish it please

This and slush's pool is very close to what I imagine for towncoins. I just wish an angel miner wasn't required.

You guys are awesome. Also bounty or no bounty I'm converting community-exchange.org to python and plugging in bitcoin, ripple, metals, and fiat.

What are towncoins ?

Bitcoins that are hard to consolidate with blocks that are easy to produce, but not difficulty 1. An analogy would be a series of locks allowing ships to cross bodies of water at different surface levels.

CPU mining for disaster devastated towns. Only for the moment it will be share based. The algorithm though will bend over backwards to be effectively higher difficulty than mainline so that in the future the angel miners won't be needed.

Use Ruby on Rails, I can't talk about Python/Django, but I know for a hard fact that Rails is to web frameworks what bitcoin is to fiat currency.

Bitcoin-Central.net is also written in Rails and is already open sourced.

Yeah I mean for one to download and setup on their own server, like Xenland has provided.

When the bounty is paid.

If some people want to review the code I'll give them access though.
I gave access to Xenland so he can see how I've managed my stuff.

The pool now mines on testnet, blocks should arrive very soon so the block management, and payment splitting mechanism can be tested in the wild after having been successfully validated against my own mined blocks on testnet.

Accounts have been wiped, please register again, you will need to provide a valid testnet address, if you don't have one go here and pick one randomly.

Pay-per-share is not supposed to work as of yet, I still have to code the part that calculates the timestamp-bound share reward according to block difficulty and pool operator configured pay per share fee.

Port : 8337
Long polling : enabled

When will you be releasing your code for people to test?

The app is already released for people to test, there's just two minor things I need to do :
- Activate long polling
- Plug it on testnet instead of main-net

Should be done in an hour

Is this the software you plan on releasing? looks pretty solid at the moment

yes, that's because is *is* pretty solid Wink

Lol but really is is.... Is solid

dammit ><

ok, do you have a live instance of your code running somewhere ?

Yes he does, http://www.bitcoinage.com.au/

I've been mucking around with the style-sheet tonight so excuse the mess.

Yeah same deal on 9337. LP is a must

Let me know when you have it enabled.

Will be tomorrow.

Pay per share rate is zero for now, I switched your worker back to normal mode

(yes, that means I also coded a sweet admin interface Cheesy

)

This is for testing purposes right now, no pay per share yet.

The pool is plugged on main net (seems like my testnet instance isn't getting any connections for some reason)

If a block is found, the rewards *will* get split properly though and will obviously be paid in actual bitcoins since we're on main net.

Cool no worries. I have connected on port 8337. All of my shares are stale though...

using poclbm with switches -v -w128 on a 5870.

EDIT - Removed the switches, same dice. Increased askrate to 4 and I managed to get 2 solved shares but the rest are still stale Sad

Port should be 9337.
I have to activate long polling, I have a fair bit of stales too :/

Hey all,

have a poke at http://pool.bitcoin-central.net/

Comments and megahashes welcome

Checking it out...what port do you use for the miner's? And what's your pay-per-share rate?
