I paid 0.40 for this broken software? Not only is it not easy to configure, but when i did, and pointed it to eligius, it automatically set the url to 127.0.0.1 i.e localhost

The thread is too big. If the info is compiled in the first post, like it should be. Plus, i paid here, i need actual support.

FYI momchil IS the person who wrote poclbm, there is no "his version". It's HIS software.

Anywho i fixed it...now which pools are..."supported" i.e stats are not delayed?

Its always prudent to do a little research before making accusations. Had you read this thread or even searched it, you would see other people including myself have encountered and easily fixed your problem by either reinstalling poclbm or downloading a different version. I found m0mchils version to work perfectly

0.6.6a on Linux (Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit) seems to be working for me.

A few issues though:
1) 'e' for exit does not exit CP

2) the console output shows that a server is set and connected, and that there are miners running with their Mh/s, etc., but it doesn't show when any of the shares are accepted/rejected.  I am running with the -stats and -logging switches

3) this pool isn't that important, but I noticed that btcmonkey had an mistake in the default cfg file where the "i" was missing in "bitcoinmonkey.com" in the host section.

jssecacerts goes into /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/security

still hoppable, but you would be forced to re-hop to the pool, if you set hop-off point to 51%, and submit new shares in longer than average rounds what decreases your value of course

Still hoppable. This only changes the hop off point. Give me some time to finish the slush blogs, and I'll make bitcoinpool hoppable again.

Everyone should read this

After much consideration and review of how our anti-pool hopping system is looked upon by members of the Bitcoin community, we have chosen to change the way in which it is working.

In the Past:
If a user participated in less than 50% of the round, their shares would be reduced by 10%, unless a donation was set, in which case, no penalty was applied.

This allowed for our users with legitimate disconnects, or reasons for being unable to mine during long rounds to avoid being hit with a penalty.

Some people seem to belive that this is a negative aspect of the anti-hopping system due to the easily cheatable nature of the system and the fact that pool hoppers are still given a large incentive to exploit our pool.

From Now on:
If a user participates in less than 50% of the round, their shares will be reduced by 50%, regardless of donation. 50% of the penalty fee will be directed toward the donations account and will be applied to server costs and future monthly contests. The other 50% of the penalty will be removed from the total shares for the round, which will in-hand cause the value of all remaining shares in the round to increase.

Example -

100,000 shares are in the round.

User A has 5000 shares and is NOT a hopper. Their estimated earnings before penalties are applied is 2.5 BTC.

User B has 5000 shares and IS A hopper. Their estimated earnings before penalties are applied is 2.5 BTC.

Once penalties are applied, User B's shares are reduced to 2500 where 1250 has been credited to donations and 1250 has been removed from the round. After the penalty is applied, User B's unconfirmed earnings are 1.265 BTC and User A's unconfirmed earnings are 2.5316 BTC.

At this time, any donation currently set on your account will remain in place. Donations will be processed prior to any penalties. As a reminder, donations are entirely voluntary and are not required to use this pool.

We will use this new method of calculating penalties for a one week trial period, at which time we will decide whether or not it is effectively deterring pool hopping and effectively rewarding loyal members of the pool.

1) Instead of using ~/poclbm do /home/(yourusername)/poclbm/poclbm.py
2) jssecacerts goes into /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/security

If anyone find this post helpful donations are welcomed

I'm installing CP on my linux machine (ubuntu 11.04).  I did the update to 0.6.6a and have no issues starting CP, but I have two questions

1) I have my poclbm.py in ~/poclbm.  But that path (with or without the file name) doesn't seem to work in the cfg file.  What are others using?

2) I installed the java security certificate thingy in the java security directory (/etc/java-6-sun/security), but I get certificate errors with mt. red, ars, etc. Right now it's:

Ideas?

Thanks
