Title: bitcoind mining Post by: 100%digital on December 19, 2011, 10:37:16 PM Hello All,
I post this same question like once a week in hopes someone (perhaps Dekbit) will reply :( does anybody have any experience with mining via RPC to the bitcoind service? i'm used both poclbm/poclbm-mod/phoenix all report differently regarding "shares" accpeted and calculated hash returned... I'm examined raw data flow between miners and mining server (bitcoind) and can attest that all are solving hashs, but somthing seems to be up... if you've worked with the bitcoind service please reply to this thread :( ...i hate the fact that (while clearly not a noobe) i cant post to correct section of forum, i have valuable insight to contribute as well -should any mods come across this post, i would much appreciate you removing my inabilities to post in all forum sections. regards, J Title: Re: bitcoind mining Post by: grue on December 21, 2011, 12:46:47 AM you're talking about solo mining, right? because they're no shares in solo mining.
Title: Re: bitcoind mining Post by: 100%digital on December 23, 2011, 06:35:28 PM i am talking about solo mining, as my post details... bitcoind is the native clients used for checking/solving hashs created by the various mining clients. while the term "share" may not be 100% accurate, a "getwork" is much the same...
thanks for your insightful reply...

I think you mentioned it somewhere ... ;) Title: Re: bitcoind mining Post by: 100%digital on January 03, 2012, 03:53:29 PM Thank you for your reply Grue. I'm thinking the mining software i'm using (phoenix) does not use "imaginary" shares, while poclbm/poclbm-mod does... thus giving me different feedback via the console.
Is there any additional reporting capabilities to bitcoind besides the "getinfo" switch? ...bitcoind getinfo also reports "hashspersec" = 0, which i can attest via rawcaptures and the f'd up reporting behavior of poclbm is not true :) again, thanks for your replies, J |
