Hi folks,
up to now, I did some pooled mining on mining.bitcoin.cz as I was lacking some "serious" hardware. Now I set up a bitcoind server on my local net with 4 clients. Now I was wondering how to correctly monitor the creation of bitcoins, just to keep an eye on the overall progress of creating a block. When I query the server with getinfo it returns:
{
"version" : 32100,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 129788,
"connections" : 6,
"proxy" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"difficulty" : 567358.22457067,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1306930496,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"errors" : ""
}
That doesn't tell me that much, does it? On the web-based pooled mining site you have this clear overview of how much your workers have calculated so far. It would even be sufficient to see the cumulated local miner pool performance in bitcoins/time. Is there any way to get that out of a running server? I hope you know what I mean..?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
