Community Support for Mining SPOT

In an effort to centralize Q & A we will be maintaining this thread.

SPOT Mining Requirements

Internet Connection
PC running Windows, Mac, or Linux OS (mining will not work on a cell phone).
You are connected and synchronized to the SPOT Network
You have a SPOT wallet created and know your public address

Simple Wallet, SPOT miner, SPOT network client, SPOT configuration files

GPU Mining
Existing third party GPU mining clients can be used.
Such as CPUMiner-Multi, ccminer-cryptonight, Claymore CryptyNote GPU (which supports GPU mining) and others.
We are working on putting out GPU mining instructions, for those that need them.

Can we mine spot with the new futurebit moonlander 2 USB stick.

We will need to look into it. That usb was developed for scrypt based coins. We are cryptonote like monero :)

I lost all the SPOT I mined. My wallet is empty. What should I do?

This is what I'v got in the log:

This happens when the simplewallet is opened and not exited properly

You need to delete the blockchain data store. and then resync the wallet to the blockchain. Do not delete your wallet or you will lose everything.

Sent this to another user...If it doesnt work or need some help let me know

ok, the way I was able to replicate the issue, was that the wallet had been opened and was left open. It had been recieving notifications and another instance of the wallet was opened, which opened from the last saved state.

The two instances working on the same wallet file screwed things up.

So to fix this

we are going to force reloading the blockchain of the node.

Step 1) --stop all instances of the node, wallet, miner

Step 2) Find the directory where the blockchain is stored and delete it
Important (do this on the computer where you open your wallet)

On windows
It should be under your app data folder. This is a specific folder to your computer. Generally located in the path below

C:\Users\your-logged-in-user\AppData\Roaming\SPOT

On linux/mac it should be in your profile directory under the folder .SPOT

3) Next start up the SPOT network node

let it syncronize

Once Syncronized -> Open the wallet and type reset which will reread the entire block chain.. not just where it last left off.

that will give you every block that was sent to your wallet

If it is a cryptonote, you can use any Monero guide and software.

I may be wrong cuz im not mining it right now. I just got here...

Did i read it right?
is there a 33% pre mined?

Hey, i do need some offline addres generator. I do have security problems....
And is there a node to be used?
Or pools?

Title: Re: SPOT Mining-
Post by: BenFranklin on February 03, 2018, 03:19:18 PM

Great comments so far guys.

No issues with the servers.

And it is cryptonote based so tools / mining strategies based on crypto note will work well.

We are working on a pool as well. We havent verified the tools yet, but feel free to connect to it and try it out. Good way to see network hashing rates.

If others are interested in setting up a pool, we can share a sanitized version of our config.json if there is interest

Portscan done on other pools show the ports open.

So.. its fixed. wasn't a port problem per se... more of a wrong url for the node supporting the mining in the website config.

Post by: BenFranklin on February 03, 2018, 09:37:29 PM

config.json

Basically update the ports to where your server is listening, update the wallet address, and the admin password.

It is based on your configuration of the node that is running the SPOT daemon, node-js, redis, and simplewallet started in RPC mode ( ./simplewallet --config-file /path/to/spotmecoin/SPOT.conf --wallet-rpc-bind-port 8082 --password '#yeahright#' --wallet-file /path/to/your/wallet.file ). (can also put those command line switches in the config file)

It appears ;) to be working now. knock on wood.. holding rabbit foot.. crossing eyes... i mean fingers..

So I want to share what was stopping it from working if someone else decides to set up a pool.

This will fix problems with connecting to the pool
ports open.. but receiving stratum errors

and miners not getting paid.
Behavior is repeated logs of "No workers' balances reached the minimum payment threshold" even though should have.

in the cryptonote mining pool default distro you need to fix the package.json file

in package.json file

replace this section

   "dependencies": {
   "bignum": "*",
   "async": "*",
   "redis": "*",
   "cli-color": "*",
   "dateformat": "*",
   "base58-native": "*",
   "multi-hashing": "git://github.com/fancoder/node-multi-hashing.git",
   "cryptonote-util": "git://github.com/fancoder/node-cryptonote-util.git"
   }

With this line



   "dependencies": {
    "bignum": "0.12.5",
   "async": "1.5.2",
   "redis": "0.12.1",
   "cli-color": "1.1.0",
   "dateformat": "1.0.12",
   "base58-native": "0.1.4",
   "multi-hashing": "git://github.com/fancoder/node-multi-hashing.git",
   "cryptonote-util": "git://github.com/forknote/node-cryptonote-util.git"
   }

do this after you clone from git (so you have the files to edit)
and before you run npm update (so it downloads the right repository)

If you have already ran npm update.. delete node_modules folder and run again

Hi All

Have finished setting up a pool, thanks to the support from Ben at spotme with helping me troubleshoot.

Has been running for 5 days now and seems to be running with no issues.

The address is spotme.meow-pool.co.uk for anyone interested!

This is first pool I hsve setup so If you encounter any issues please make sure to let me know so I can rectify them for you.

Happy mining :-)

Spot on!

So you have an ICO, huge premine, vague whitepaper and anonymous team working on the coin.
What makes this project different from any other attempt at a cash grab? What's the incentive here to mine this coin? What's the use case for this coin?

I'd like being proven wrong but so far I don't see anything that excites me.

If you have read the whitepaper and aren't excited by SPOT then it is obviously the wrong investment for your time.
We are here to stay and very excited about the future we have envisioned and laid out there. You can ask any of our miners, and coin owners about their experiences with us.

Hi Guys,

exciting project here. Been mining for a while but now as of block 33468, none of my mined blocks are there. I've reset the blockchain and wallet and it stops at 33468. I looked at the log and have successful mined blocks up to 38200 which do not show up in wallet.

There was a switch to alternative chain (not sure if that's the issue or not).

Anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers!

Hey all, I would really like to join the Spot Community but having difficulty with setup.
Can someone please guide me. I have dl SPOT-win zip folder which contains: miner.exe , simplewallet.exe & SPOT.exe
But have no clue what to do next :(

I have also created wallet address.

Also, I have 4 x Asus GTX 1070 OC 8GB if that helps?

Thanks

So it's happening again...mined blocks confirmed but no change in wallet. Reset/blockchain re-downloaded still nothing...hoping this can be solved....not sure what's going on but it's not a good feeling seeing the mining rewards gone :(

Let me know if this is a unique instance or not. Latest mined was 2b0e72a76795ec76374155f99174979f4ee7c015ca5503831a327c896807380c. Block explorer shows it but it's not added to wallet count.

Ideas?

Hey there fellow spotter. I had the same problem and followed the post by Ben, one of the devs, below. Hope it helps you out.

This happens when the simplewallet is opened and not exited properly

You need to delete the blockchain data store. and then resync the wallet to the blockchain. Do not delete your wallet or you will lose everything.

Sent this to another user...If it doesnt work or need some help let me know

ok, the way I was able to replicate the issue, was that the wallet had been opened and was left open. It had been recieving notifications and another instance of the wallet was opened, which opened from the last saved state.

The two instances working on the same wallet file screwed things up.

So to fix this

we are going to force reloading the blockchain of the node.

Step 1) --stop all instances of the node, wallet, miner

Step 2) Find the directory where the blockchain is stored and delete it
Important (do this on the computer where you open your wallet)

On windows
It should be under your app data folder. This is a specific folder to your computer. Generally located in the path below

C:\Users\your-logged-in-user\AppData\Roaming\SPOT

On linux/mac it should be in your profile directory under the folder .SPOT

3) Next start up the SPOT network node

let it syncronize

Once Syncronized -> Open the wallet and type reset which will reread the entire block chain.. not just where it last left off.

that will give you every block that was sent to your wallet
