Title: [BTE][Closed][Faucet]Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 03, 2013, 05:07:25 PM Bytecoin Faucet:
Bytecoin Faucet is a community faucet for bytecoins (People donate the funds that are given out). Current Rate: 0.1 BTE Per payout Visit the site: [Closed for now] Donations directly to the FAUCET: 8adiaZcaVjiE4vXkztRaLMrSDikPuY8grc Donations to DEVELOPER/OPERATOR (NOT THE FAUCET): 8QNbwJ7uQNqYiJ7cGwgTfBvvesLYGsngda ***25/5/2013 - Pool is now closed*** ***29/5/2013 - Faucet is closed for now as I no longer have sufficient server power to host it. Will be reopened if I can put together enough power*** Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: Turbo1980 on April 03, 2013, 05:08:52 PM The link is wrong
Here is corrected http://bytecoin.us.to:8000/ Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 03, 2013, 05:10:32 PM The link is wrong Here is corrected http://bytecoin.us.to:8000/ Oh, thanks, I corrected it just after I posted :) The forum seemed to add an extra 'http://' before the url. Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: allthingsluxury on April 03, 2013, 05:18:07 PM Very nice.
Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 03, 2013, 05:26:05 PM Very nice. Thank you :) The frontend is fine, but unfortunately the backend server has fallen apart. I was using the Bytecoin Block Explorer to grab the balance of the account, but it doesn't work anymore due to the way transactions work, the account is shown as empty(as it technically is), so I had to switch the entire backend process to manual work :/. I'm trying to fix this as fast as I can but I have to keep the faucet going, so I'm considering closing it for a few hours later today. Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 03, 2013, 05:28:19 PM Thank you to whoever donated 10 BTE to the Faucet :D
Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 03, 2013, 11:40:27 PM What does everyone think about having a mining pool that supports the faucet, as in a small percentage of the coins from each block go to the faucet?
Please leave any feedback or comments, and I'll try to set one up if the idea has a positive reaction :) Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 03, 2013, 11:58:53 PM Note: The Bytecoin Faucet will be down for a few minutes, I need to restart the server
I will edit this post when it is back up. EDIT: Server back up :) Title: Re: [BTE] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 04, 2013, 01:33:59 AM Created a P2Pool (modified by Gerco) mining server for the faucet

I have been using cgminer with very good success for those having issues. I just made a donation to the faucet to help keep her topped up for ya ;) Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 04, 2013, 11:58:34 PM Thanks to Digigami who donated 250 BTE to the faucet :D
It's the largest donation so far! Go check it out! All addresses and IPs are reclaimable to celebrate! http://bytecoin.us.to:8000/ Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 05, 2013, 12:23:23 AM This pool is a scam or what?

You have been paid 6 times so far. In your client the transaction should show up as 'mined', as in it comes directly from the block, with no tampering or stealing from the server :) It works now. It takes a lot of time for pool to realise miner joined, is that normal? A lot of time as in how long? It takes a while to generate each block on the pool as it only has about 5GH/s hash power, if that's what you mean. Also, P2Pool uses a PPLNS payment system, and it is handles mining quite differently to other pools, so that could have caused a slight delay, but payments should generally be instant when each a block is found :) Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 05, 2013, 12:26:20 AM Great work on the faucet and pool LucasJones! I have been using cgminer with very good success for those having issues. I just made a donation to the faucet to help keep her topped up for ya ;) Thank you for your donation! It is much appreciated, already over 50 people have claimed bytecoins since you donated :) I thought it would be nicer to personally thank you, as it is quite a big (even though BTE isn't really worth much right now) donation, more than the pool or anyone else has mined/donated :) Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: Digigami on April 05, 2013, 12:30:55 AM LucasJones, you sir are very welcome!
I remember getting my first BTC from the bitcoin faucet a long while ago, and I realize this is a great way to help get others on board with this new coin. Just doing my part to help spread the love! Enjoy everyone :D - Digigami Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: shep80 on April 05, 2013, 12:37:09 AM Great idea setting this up!

Also, P2Pool uses a PPLNS payment system, and it is handles mining quite differently to other pools, so that could have caused a slight delay, but payments should generally be instant when each a block is found :) I stopped mining like 20 minutes ago but I'm still receiving payouts. That means there is some sort of fade-in and fade-out with pool. Yeah, as I said, it's pretty different to most pools :P It uses the Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares System: Whenever a block is found, payment is given to shares in a window, starting with the last share submitted and going backwards up to some number N of shares. Shares older than the window are not paid. This is essentially a 0-1 cutoff decay function. There is no concept of rounds - shares can be paid even if they were found before the previous block. This means that a given share can be paid more than once - however, the payouts are chosen so that the expected reward is equal to solo expected reward. Because the payment for a share depends only on blocks found in the future and not on shares and blocks found in the past, there is no way to hop based on the current status of the pool. However, if implemented incorrectly, it is possible to hop based on imminent difficulty changes Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 05, 2013, 01:32:09 PM Percentage of rejected shares is very high, over 20% on my side. Mining with either CGMiner or BFGMiner makes no difference. Blocks are no longer solved every few seconds so there should be less rejected shares. Any fix for the issue? Could you check your latency to the faucet page (hosted on the same IP as the pool)? P2Pool relies heavily on low latencies, so if your connection is slower than others to the pool, it could mean that you get a higher number of rejected shares. EDIT: I'm going to restart the server's internet connection, just tested it and it's *very* slow. Should be better in a minute, and the number of shares that are rejected should decrease :) Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 05, 2013, 02:03:04 PM Percentage of rejected shares is very high, over 20% on my side.

Yeah, Really really sorry, the pool crashed while I was asleep :( Everything should be working as normal now Add CAPTCHA to faucet, else BOTs will drain all coins in a day. Seriously. Yeah, I'm going to, I just don't think it is the main priority to prevent BOTs specifically for the faucet at this stage :) (Also there is only one payout per IP address and bytecoin address per day, they could use proxies but that seems like quite a lot of work for 0.1/0.05 BTE a pop) Don't get the wrong idea, I'm going to try to add it, it's just slightly more difficult to do as the website uses ajax instead of posting data to the server Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: saigo on April 06, 2013, 03:20:59 PM now pointing my cgminer at it... nice to be adding to the faucet :D Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 06, 2013, 04:13:38 PM now pointing my cgminer at it... nice to be adding to the faucet :D Thanks! It might take a while to generate a block, as we lost a considerable amount of hashing power when the server crashed, so every contribution helps! EDIT: Generated a block! We're getting back on track! Title: Re: [BTE][Faucet][Pool] Bytecoin Faucet Post by: LucasJones on April 07, 2013, 11:42:42 AM **Pool now only has a 1% fee! Incredibly low rates!***
