anyone else having java security certificate issues with bitcoinlc? i haven't had this issue since i first installed CP and i fixed it by following the post on page 2. happening on 3 different machines of mine so that makes it seem like bitcoinlc changed something on their end?

I fixed it by removing the "s" in https when checking for stats

I started getting it sometime last night.  I hoped it was their site but problem never resolved.

I seem to have found the problem regarding the missing shares display, this new version of poclbm simply does not display the share accepted messages at all. CP counts those messages to get its own submitted/stale statistics so right now it just displays 0, obviously incorrectly.

Thanks for investigating.

Apparently, my existing poclbm version gives the 127.0.0.1 error
I updated it (I think) using the guide, and used this to do so:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm.git
I think this will update my current poclbm version located in /opt/miners/poclbm but now when I try running CP I still get the same 127.0.0.1 problem.

The command above really does something, it seems to update things but I cannot tell if it installs a new version of poclbm or that it tries and fails to update my current install.

If anyone can tell me where the new version is installed using the above command I can try to get CP working too :-)

Thanks for any help.

-edit-
FIXED!

So the command above to download and install poclbm does in fact do that: install poclbm but in a different location.
I found the latest install to be located somewhere else than it used to be, I found this with the following command:
Code:
find / -name poclbm.py -print
Now I got a list of all the directories containing poclbm.py
I added the one that was apparently new to my .cfg file and started CP: running!

Only thing is that it will not show any accepted shares, it simply does not do that. You can however find the hashrate by typing info as usual. (so it was not your slow GPU Blood, it just doesn't show the accepted shares lines, I'm hasing at 800+mhash/s so should've given me some accepted shares lines by now if it does). It does show the "LP connected to :port" lines.
Shares submitted will also stay at zero.

So people using Linuxcoin can use the above line to install latest poclbm and use the 2nd line to locate the installation path, put that into the CP config file and off you go!

Hurray!

I have to get some sleep now, but I wanted to say I tracked down the bug that caused exception spam in Linux and fixed it, I'll make an update when I wake up. Good luck with getting Ubuntu up and running max!

I'm on it. here are the steps I vave done so far.

1. Go here and download the right version of Ubuntu. I first tried with the 32 bit but kept getting errors, so downloaded the 64 bit version.
2. I wanted to install this on a USB key, so went here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ and downloaded the tool and ran it. I used an 8 gig key, so left myself 4 gigs persistance.
3. Plugged the usb key into my mining machine and booted from the usb key.
4. Ubuntu seems to be up and running now to install ATI drivers.

Stay Tuned...

Well you don't need any special files. They're the same as the Windows version, just use those. The .cfgs work in exactly the same way and the .jar is the same as well. To run it navigate to its directory and type
Code:
java -jar CherryPicking.jar
If you want stats and logging use
Code:
java -jar CherryPicking.jar -logging -stats

Anyway, here's what I did from start to finish:
1) Installed the JRE (well JDK in my case, but you don't need the development kit to run CP)
2) Followed the guide here to get poclbm installed. You do not need to install bitcoin, that's just for solo mining. I also skipped the step regarding python-jsonrpc because the server seems to be down, but everything worked without me doing that, so I guess it was already installed or something. So now I have poclbm in my home directory (~/poclbm).
3) Extracted CherryPicking in a directory of the same name in my home folder (so ~/CherryPicking)
4) Set the path to poclbm, poclbm.py in this case. So in poclbm.cfg I have Path=/home/bloodred/poclbm/poclbm.py
5) Configure all the pools, just like on Windows. I only used eligius for testing purposes so I didn't waste time on adding lots of pools
6) Run CherryPicking and it worked.

actually scratch that, will be going the same way, with Ubuntu...

But would still like access to the cp files so i can do a fresh install...

The popular version of Linus here seems to be LINUXCOIN. I have been using Linuxcoin now because I cannot get windows 7 to work with all 7 of my gpu's, but linuxcoin is perfect, but i have not been using cherry.

Blood where can I get the complete files to try running everything on linuxcoin? My linux skills are horrible but I can probably figure it out...jut need the CP files...

So, I have some Linux news. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop today (GeForce GT240M GPU) and got everything set up to give CherryPicking a test. Much to my surprise, CherryPicking works on Linux with no special changes, the exact same .jar that everybody uses on Windows and the latest poclbm from github and nothing weird in the .cfgs.

Since I suck at Linux I do not know how to get the NVIDIA GPU usage, but I managed to get the temperature before (46C) and after starting CherryPicking (65C) and I can see that poclbm is using 100% CPU in the System Monitor, here's a screenshot of that:

Note that there are no share accepted messages in CherryPicking because the GPU is very, very slow and manages only around 8.7MH/s, so it'd take quite a while to actually get a share and I only ran this for a few minutes before posting this here.

There IS however a bug, when you type "exit" to quit CherryPicking it starts throwing exceptions endlessly and you have to stop it with Ctrl+C, but other than that it seems to be working. This is just a quick test though, I'm not saying that CP has perfect compatibility just yet.

It's working properly if you're getting the valid hash rate and round shares in CP, that's about it. Wink

* Hey Bloodred or anyone that knows a bit more about this stuff, can you take a look at this to make sure its right...  I hacked together a .cfg for http://swepool.net which is another PROP pool. In order to use this one you need to get your own api key from the swepool settings page and replace the "user_api_key" with your personal key. No guarantees on this but it seems to work. 


Code:
;Swepool
Type=PROP
Host=swepool.net
Port=8337
JSON=http://swepool.net/json?key=user_api_key
HashEx1="pool_speed":"\d+\.?\d*
HashEx2=\d+\.?\d*
SharesEx1="round_shares":"\d+
SharesEx2=\d+
Div=1

Any way to check the current total hashrate?

Running normal algorithm and I started with ars, but thought it would be better taking it out, didn't realize it is good to have.  But do I have to actually type in BACKUP somewhere?  In my pool.cfg it just list all the pools I want it to use is all.  And I haven't changed the pool types in each individual pool cfg file either.

EDIT:

I have had ABC pool in there the whole time, and I just realized they are PPS too.  I have a long list of pools I am using, I thought the more the better...

I think running without a pps pool is what hurt you the most. This last week 1 ghash/s gave me an average of .65 btc per day or 4.5 for the week
