hopefully the "Address ... not found in block solved" thingie doesnt cause any bigger problems
There might be some server up and down-age as I add some debugging to investigate this. Clients should reconnect gracefully. Don't panic if you see it

the remotminer-cuda.exe seems to work already,
although it's still slower than standalone-versions.
on my GTX260 i get
standalone ~45M
remote-cuda ~17M
hopefully the "Address ... not found in block solved" thingie doesnt cause any bigger problems
update: i just noticed that the remote-cuda.exe also has ~50% CPU usage, that's unpleasant.

Hi puddinpop,
what's the status of your OpenCL implementation atm? I see you have begun a implementation although it is disabled currently.

It will distribute the coins in the block the same as it did before. If you see the message that the address wasn't found after the client gets its second block, that means something isn't working quite right on the server. Check the bitcoin log file to see if there are any messages about clients failing metahash verification.
There are no failed hashes in the log. But there only seems to be one client passing: If I grep the log for "passed metahash" all I see is one client IP address listed. There are 16 clients connected to the server.
puddinpop, when running this latest version I'm always seeing a message on the remote client saying that my address is not found in the block being solved. It doesn't show the share that I'd get that it used to. Is something broken or is there a change in the behaviour?

Check the bitcoin log file to see if there are any messages about clients failing metahash verification. Most likely, if you are compiling the server yourself, you ran into the same issue I have with release builds in Visual Studio. If this is the case, try to compile without optimizations turned on.
I've tested with the binaries that I've uploaded, and I can confirm that they are working as they should be.
I'm having a terrible time trying to get this running on my Mac. I think I've complied and installed the Boost library, and installed the CMake and CUDA library, which this seems to need, but I'm still getting the following when I try to make:
It's highly likely that I've screwed something up trying to get this to all work (my guess is Boost), but there's not really much in the way of direction. Can anyone give me a hand? Thanks.

puddinpop, when running this latest version I'm always seeing a message on the remote client saying that my address is not found in the block being solved. It doesn't show the share that I'd get that it used to. Is something broken or is there a change in the behaviour?
I updated the server on 173.255.205.10 early since there were only 4 clients connected. Instructions updated here:
http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/bitcoin-pool/
Basically you need the new client binary. The windows version is now called remoteminer-cpu.exe and the arguments to it require '=' instead of a space between the '-address' and its value (and '-server' and its value).
There's also a remoteminer-cuda.exe for those with a cuda compatible GPU.
Let see how well this handles load. If it's fine I'll take down the other server.

puddinpop, what's the URL we can get this from?
puddinpop updated the original post with source and binaries. I've also added it to my git repository in the 'bitcoin-remote-20101205' branch:
https://github.com/doublec/bitcoin-pool
I've just pushed to master the tweaks to build the miner only code on linux.
puddinpop, what's the URL we can get this from?
I've updated the first post with a new release. As before, the client and server must be at least the ones from 2010-12-02 to work with each other. This release should help alleviate the hash rate fluctuation, especially if it is caused by CPU usage on the server. The CPU usage itself won't be reduced, but it should be more stable. Also, there is an experimental remote CUDA client included in the release. Expect half the hash rate you get with the regular CUDA miner built into the standard client.
Please note that the way to specify options for the remote miner has changed. Now you use = instead of space between the option and the value.

I plan to switch the pool to this version at 5:00 am Monday 6 December UTC. That's 5 hours from the time I posted this. This will require contributers to update the miner software. I'll post here when the switch is done. The server will use the 'contributed' method.

So it seems I'm not the only one having trouble compiling the code on an x86_64 platform. Is it a known limitation that the code will only compile on 32-bit architectures? Or has someone managed to get it running on a 64-bit arch?

Yes, most likely. As a quick workaround I've brought a second server online. If the number of clients on one is greater than 100 I suggest connecting to the second instead. The second server is at IP address 173.255.205.10 so the client command is:
I've temporarily hacked in a hard coded limit of 102 clients. Any connects after that will fail. Unfortunately no message is printed to the client and it immediately retries but it beats the server crashing.
puddinpop, it'd be great to have a way to set a maximum number of clients and maybe have a message printed to the client trying to connect if that is exceeded. Any thoughts on how to decrease the CPU usage of the server?
You mentioned previously that your server was running 80-100% CPU. Is it possible that there could be too many clients now and the server is just under heavy load?
I saw the number of clients in the 180's earlier with the group doing ~200,000 khash/s.

With 100 on each this will handle current load until I look into the issue.

Status update: Offline again. Traceroute seems fine though.
Yep, server died again. I'm looking into it.

Yeah, I'm starting to see that too. It's jumping between 433 and 1633 for me.
Should be averaging around 833 typically.
Odd indeed.
