Title: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: jgarzik on March 25, 2013, 03:20:38 PM Here is the simple solo mining and mining farm configuration used here. At current difficulty, ignoring variance, an Avalon should, on average, generate a block every...
Quote The average time to generate a block at 68000.0 Mhps, given difficulty of 6695826.2826, is 4 days, 21 hours, 28 minutes, and 43 seconds Pool is probably preferable to most, as you might have incredibly bad luck and not generate a block for a couple weeks. In any case, here is the bitcoind + eloipool configuration on Linux. If you like these instructions, there is a donation address in the sig. bitcoind setup 1) Obtain a compiled bitcoind somehow. Compiling your own is outside the scope of these instructions. I'm told there is an Ubuntu PPA somewhere. 2) Decide on a data directory location. It must be on a fast hard drive, preferably SSD, and have at least 10GB of free space. 3) In this directory, create bitcoin.conf text file, with the following contents: Code: rpcuser=MY_RPC_USERNAME Obviously, change the MY_RPC_xxx to a username and password. 4) Create a newblock.sh script, with the following contents: Code: #!/bin/sh Mark it executeable via "chmod 0755 newblock.sh" 5) Create a run-bitcoind.sh script, with the following contents: Code: #!/bin/sh Mark it executeable via "chmod 0755 run-bitcoind.sh" You must modify the (a) bitcoind path, (b) -datadir path, and (c) -blocknotify path to fit your local computer. 6) Run bitcoind via the run-bitcoind.sh script. Watch debug.log in the data directory, to make sure it started the Initial Block Download (bitcoin network sync). This might take a few hours, to download all the blocks. If you are technically minded and motivated, you may download the blockchain torrent (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145386.0) to give this process a jump-start. eloipool setup 1) Download eloipool dependencies, either from your Linux packager, or directly: Python 3 http://python.org python-bitcoinrpc https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc python-base58 https://gitorious.org/bitcoin/python-base58 midstate http://gitorious.org/midstate/midstate 2) For python-bitcoinrpc, check out an older release, Code: $ cd /repo/python-bitcoinrpc 3) Check out eloipool, Code: $ git clone git://gitorious.org/bitcoin/eloipool.git 4) Copy config.py.example to config.py, and make the following several edits, a) change ServerName to something unique b) increase share target (note increased '0' and decreased 'f'): Code: -ShareTarget = 0x00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff c) DynamicTargetting = 2 d) DynamicTargetGoal = 6 e) change TrackerAddr to YOUR bitcoin address f) comment out CoinbaserCmd, Code: -CoinbaserCmd = 'echo -e "1\\n$((%d / 100))\\n1579aXhdwvKZEMrAKoCZhzGuqMa8EonuXU"' g) update TemplateSources to point to your local bitcoind RPC, including chosen username/password, and comment out the secondary source: Code: @@ -57,41 +57,41 @@ g) empty TemplateChecks (or comment out 100%), Code: TemplateChecks = ( h) comment out or delete BlockSubmissions i) change log settings, and switch from testnet3 mining to mainnet: Code: -DelayLogForUpstream = False j) disable transaction-related bug workaround: Code: -POT = 2 k) update ShareLogging to reflect your desires. The simplest is to delete all the SQL-related entries, leaving only the textfile logfile. With solo mining, you don't care so much about shares. Code: ShareLogging = ( l) change log filename to something useful, Code: LogFile = {m) Create a runit.sh script for eloipool, with the contents, Code: #!/bin/sh You must change the paths to suit your local system. n) Run eloipool with runit.sh script o) Let's assume you are running the pool software on 192.168.1.40 IP address. Set up your miner configuration like this: Pool X: stratum+tcp://192.168.1.40:3334 Pool X username: 1NqqjQWXDLAoNycAS2ZryueuhNLJtcjvGy Pool X password: x Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: jgarzik on March 25, 2013, 03:25:37 PM Reserved.

Thank you! +1Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: kaerf on March 25, 2013, 06:32:17 PM thanks jeff. i'd previously set up eloipool by myself and it wasn't the most straight forward process. this will help a lot of people.
i just solo mined my first block with an avalon this morning...it took ~4 days across the diff change. it was a very nerve wracking experience. i'd tested eloipool on testnet and it worked, but wasn't sure if everything was working properly on mainnet. the variance is a killer! i lost a few BTC, but am happy to have a fresh block that I can store away for a rainy day :) after the diff change, i actually split my hashing power between POT and solo because the variance was killing me (but i'm still a gambler!)...i was literally watching the eloipool log waiting for a block to be solved. (a watched pot never boils). i'm back to pool mining now. don't have the stomach (or hashing power) for solo mining =P Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: kaerf on March 25, 2013, 06:41:18 PM BTW, eloipool step 2 was a pain in the ass to figure out. took me a while to realize the code structure had changed. i think I used the json-compat branch though.

Any word on merged mining - BTC+ NMC with this setup. I am aware of the fact namecoind is needed also but what about poll, does it support it? I found out this is supported. I will paly with it and let you know if i found out how to do it Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: cypherdoc on March 29, 2013, 07:48:59 PM do you think you can make a image of the install :D or a vitrual m donation for the image will be made i second that.

Dude, If you are not using linux, image will help you a lot but still will be not enough. Just install one for a start and get used to it first. Just my 2 cents Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: wtfvanity on March 29, 2013, 08:41:41 PM do you think you can make a image of the install :D or a vitrual m donation for the image will be made i second that.

The problem if you don't know how to use linux and follow the basic steps that are already in this post, are... well, how would you then run the pool? Even just for yourself? At the very minimum, you would need to go in and delete the bitcoin wallet, because if Jeff made one obviously he wouldn't duplicate his own wallet into the image, it would be empty or a generic one. Are you comfortable doing that in linux? What about all of the SQL related stuff? Troubleshooting? It seems like to me, if you don't know linux, you shouldn't run this pool. If you have one avalon, join an existing pool. If you have 3 avalons, run each of them solo. There will be variation but with the extra power, on average you'll still be able to pull some blocks down and with less variance than a single machine. If you want to operate a public pool and do not know linux... then my arguments, well... just please don't.

You actually don't need to use the SQL stuff if running solo but you need to be able to go in and configure things. I am going to do it because I am a tinkerer and I am trying to learn all the details about Bitcoin. I also set up someone to give me paid support if I need it so I probably won't end up saving any money. Plus I am going to have to keep up with the threads about eloipool and avalons. A pool is going to do all that stuff for you. I was going to let others use my solo setup but once I saw that the end user can't control the block reward address I nixed the idea. If something goes wrong and a block reward is lost (or perceived to be lost) I don't want some 12 page thread claiming I did something with someone's block reward. don't you use your own block reward address? Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: Aseras on March 30, 2013, 03:22:50 AM I would highly suggest that you keep the testnet setting in the config.py and configure your bitcoind to use testnet and mine a few blocks there to make sure your setup is working before you swap it over to the real network.
That's why testnet exists.

Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: jspielberg on March 30, 2013, 11:43:45 PM Looking for a little guidance on eloipool setup.
I am fairly comfortable with ubuntu... though a bit new to python. Anyway... I am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, and I think I have a stupid configuration error somewhere. This is a pretty vanilla ubuntu 12.04 server with python3, libpython3.2, python3-dev, and build-essentials installed via apt. I followed the top post and after all is said and done, I see in my eloipool.log the following message in a fairly tight loop: Code: 2013-03-30 17:22:48,844 merkleMaker CRITICAL Traceback (most recent call last): I went and edited /usr/lib/python3.2/json/decoder.py so the raise would print "s" as well (i.e. raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded"+s) ) to get visibility on the problem message and it turns out to be a 401 error: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? This is a fresh ubuntu 12.04LTS with the bitcoin.org ppa based bitcoind. I felt it was safer to use the packaged 0.8.1 bitcoind rather than build my own... but I am not afraid if needed to build it if needed. I checked my rpc username and password in my bitcoin.conf and config.py to make sure they match. I thought it might be an access thing... but... I don't see anything suspicious in /var/log. Any thoughts would be appreciated... or any pointers. The forum search didn't turn up anything so I thought I would post. Thanks - Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: Aseras on March 31, 2013, 01:06:01 AM In your config.py did you change ALL the test net values to real values? Check every edit in the OP.
Check your bitcoin.conf and make sure you set rpcallowip to 127.0.0.1 and your LAN IP.

IMO, mining is becoming too centralized at pools and anyone who can distribute that power away from the pools helps the community at large. my personal goal is to always be able to be a full node and mine solo if possible as i think it's more healthy for the network long term. if it turns out i can't do this b/c i can't get sufficient help then so be it.

One hint for fellow ubuntu folks. I don't recommend using the prebuilt bitcoind. I think that was what was giving me grief the first time around. Build it yourself by following TikToc's steps in "Avalon users: bitcoind and slush's/generalfaults mining pool setup" thread. Follow the steps for building bitcoind and you should be good to go.

If I can ignore that then maybe I should post my install scripts. I have it set up on my machine with my avalon pointed at it, but it hasn't found a block yet. If anyone wants to test some install scripts for setting up eloipool + bitcoind on Ubuntu 12.04 send me a PM. Edit: A link to the scripts is in my sig.

What kind of hardware utilization are you seeing out of eliopool? I noticed you suggested using an SSD, is eliopool a high IOPS application? Were you experiencing any disk queuing with lower speed drives, resulting in a performance drop, or did you anticipate this? How about RAM usage? I'm building out a low powered atom based mini pc that I plan on running multiple instances of bfg or cgminer, along with eliopool. I want to make sure I cover all of my bases. Thanks again.

Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: pantehicon on May 02, 2013, 03:01:49 PM Looking for a little guidance on eloipool setup. I am fairly comfortable with ubuntu... though a bit new to python. Anyway... I am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, and I think I have a stupid configuration error somewhere. This is a pretty vanilla ubuntu 12.04 server with python3, libpython3.2, python3-dev, and build-essentials installed via apt. I followed the top post and after all is said and done, I see in my eloipool.log the following message in a fairly tight loop: You aren't doing anything wrong. I got the same thing. It seems to be a bug in the bitcoin-jsonrpc package, which is writing invalid basic-auth headers out to bitcoind. It's setting the header to: Code: Basic b'....base64stuff...' Code: Basic ....base64stuff... A quick fix is to decode the bytes into UTF-8. On line 72 of bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py change: Code: self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair) Code: self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair).decode() Hope this helps Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: pantehicon on May 02, 2013, 03:03:25 PM The same should help with others getting nonsensical 401 errors (well, JSON decode errors on the console) to bitcoind on startup.
Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: Aseras on May 02, 2013, 03:13:14 PM the only way you would get that if if you compiled on 2 different systems. Or you are using prebuilt binaries.

I am fairly comfortable with ubuntu... though a bit new to python. Anyway... I am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, and I think I have a stupid configuration error somewhere. This is a pretty vanilla ubuntu 12.04 server with python3, libpython3.2, python3-dev, and build-essentials installed via apt. I followed the top post and after all is said and done, I see in my eloipool.log the following message in a fairly tight loop: You aren't doing anything wrong. I got the same thing. It seems to be a bug in the bitcoin-jsonrpc package, which is writing invalid basic-auth headers out to bitcoind. It's setting the header to: Code: Basic b'....base64stuff...' Code: Basic ....base64stuff... A quick fix is to decode the bytes into UTF-8. On line 72 of bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py change: Code: self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair) Code: self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair).decode() Hope this helps Solved my problem! TY!!! Title: Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration Post by: optimator on May 21, 2013, 09:02:16 PM I have eloipool up and hashing away with an avalon unit. Thanks Jgarzik!!

I'm running into a bunch of errors relating to longpool - These errors are what has been described previously in this thread. These errors appear non-fatal. Can anyone confirm this is correct?

My preference though is eloipool. Does eloipool have a method of checking the current running status of the pool? Is the DB schema documented anywhere if I wanted to make my own scripts for status querying?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if you edit the ShareLogging section of the config.py as follows: Code: # Logging of shares: That should add DB entries to a table called shares. It has fields: rem_host, username, our_result, upstream_result, reason, solution, time. You could also do this with postgres I believe. I'm not sure if this will make entries for all shares or just found blocks, I haven't tested it that much.

But I have everything up and running, it seems to run perfectly, i do get a lot of "INFO Nobody to long poll" in the eloipool log. Does this meen that there is something wrong? Am i actually Mining ?
