Title: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: tacotime on April 29, 2014, 07:29:35 PM Hello,
zone117x has expressed interest in creating an open source ByteCoin/Monero pool: Quote <zone117x> hey I looked at it and it will require substantial refactoring of the codebase and there are many other pressing features needing to be implemented in NOMP <zone117x> so its pretty low on the priority list. <zone117x> those who are very eager for specific NOMP feature can place a bounty, and if I accept it then I'll drop the current features I"m working in order to get it implemented <zone117x> I don't operate any pools myself so pool ops take my open source code, make money off of it, and very few people donate a small amount <zone117x> so the harder to implement that a feature is, the higher the bounty to get me to implement it. otherwise I'll imeplement it on my own time <zone117x> currently there are probably months worth of features higher priority to me than getting that type of coin supported <zone117x> if there is substantial interest in getting that type of coin supported then those who want it should contribute to a bounty I am already offering 1000 MRO for this, but I'd like to start a bounty list for such an implementation. If we get a substantial amount, we can start collecting funds to an escrow and get this pushed out. :) Donate to this address to raise bounty (MRO): 466CVfQvGmELo8Bc7ypDqTcSUg8Ky4WS7EefFdf4JUvWes4GVmAsXgtKPND9WT3p2bVjyEDFvmTA69S kpvuT5wBy1T1ZwWu Donate to this address to raise bounty (BTC): 1Ah8G4Fj9wYTso17T2jx5hsdypNXv7orWS Donate to this address to raise bounty (BCN): 2AK9F4qNMwFiSwTQ64xcyMLBH7r4xYJYqS4idGBjRhuU3nrqesKcP1rd3nazxm1v2EZCUyXp8Q4nGFR fSCK8ToUi3GnLAHz From Smooth: Quote I will be collecting the funds for the pool bounty.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: NoodleDoodle on April 29, 2014, 07:58:22 PM 2000 MRO
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: David Latapie on April 29, 2014, 08:01:46 PM 25 MRO. I know, I am not playing in the same league but this shows you don't have to have that much MRO to contribute! And remember; your remaining MRO will be worth more (much more) if more people are interested.
FYI, MRO is presently valued at around 20000 satoshi apiece; so 4045 MRO means 0.8 BTC at present price - and once the pool will be done (and later, the GUI wallet), expected a tremendous increase (read: don't sell your MRO once you receiv your bounty, you'll regret it later).

Now over 5000. :) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: eizh on May 03, 2014, 08:47:23 AM Had a conversation with zone117x on freenode. This is the target of $2500 (~5.5 BTC) for him to work on this: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1967409-support-for-cryptonight-algo-based-coins
Our current 5000 MRO is valued at ~1.8 BTC at 0.000360 BTC/MRO (recent trades). I've contacted DStrange who's handling the BCN bounties about combining the funds. Since they stand to benefit, they should contribute as well. They've already collected into BCN and BTC addresses. tacotime, please set up an MRO collection address.

Balance: 5439 MRO 0.285 BTC Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: surfer43 on May 05, 2014, 08:12:57 PM At the current MRO price (0.001 BTC) and BTC price ($430), we have $2,463 donated. The goal is $2,500. The difference is negligible. So should we sell the MRO now at 0.001 BTC?
Edit: I will donate 0.1 BTC to cover the difference.

It has been trading at 0.001 but we can't guarantee we could exchange the bounty fund for that. Maybe we could. Whoever is in touch with the developer should ask him what he wants done with the fund. I agree there should be enough value there one way or another to get this done. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: tacotime on May 06, 2014, 01:08:37 AM zone has asked for an extra 1 BTC to fork cpuminer and add stratum support for Monero mining. we're not very far off, can we raise an extra 1 BTC as a community?

I'm sure we can. What is the status of the pool project/bounty? It seems we have around more or less enough in the fund. Should we convert the MRO to BTC at this point, or maybe the developer would want some or all of it in MRO? After all his work will probably make MRO more valuable.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: dreamspark on May 07, 2014, 08:47:11 AM Awesome. Thank you, BCN community. Looking forward to this pool being completed. Will give some people who havent had much luck solo mining a way to get some coins. However it is important that there are a number of pools soon after as everyone will mine on the pool giving it way more than 50% of the hashing power.

Zone117x has stated that there is a good deal of difficulty in producing a pool for this coin because of the unique scripting language. He stated that a custom http server may need to be built to fetch/send work. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: tacotime on May 10, 2014, 09:33:20 PM Two FOSS mining pools are nearing completion and will be published on Github soon. One is by zone117x and another is by archit_.
My question is if the community would be okay dividing the bounty between both zone117x and archit_ in the event that both softwares are released around the same time. zone117x is concerned that his advanced stratum implementation will not be complete before archit_'s, because it takes a considerable amount longer to generate than a simple mining pool. If archit_ is out there, I would appreciate his response too, and would hope that he's considerate of the hard work zone117x has been putting in over the past week to get his software completed. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: eizh on May 10, 2014, 09:49:21 PM Sounds fair to me. Monero/CryptoNote has both an immediate need for a functioning pool as well as a long term need for something scalable and high-performance.
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: David Latapie on May 10, 2014, 09:51:12 PM I agree too. Both for moral reason and because more pool means less centralization.
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: dreamspark on May 10, 2014, 10:07:18 PM I agree too. Both for moral reason and because more pool means less centralization. You can have more pools even with only one open source implementation ;) I agree they should share the bounty, if they are equal. However if one is clearly better than the other and will obviously be the one used then I do think that person should get a larger share. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: dnaleor on May 10, 2014, 11:28:25 PM I agree too. Both for moral reason and because more pool means less centralization. You can have more pools even with only one open source implementation ;) I agree they should share the bounty, if they are equal. However if one is clearly better than the other and will obviously be the one used then I do think that person should get a larger share. I agree both (working) pools should get at least a part. If both are finished withing (let's say) 5 days of eachother, we can do a vote on the percentage. Taking into consideration the complexity of the pool and the the release date. Votes should be done by the number of MRO contributed (1 MRO is one vote) Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: Quanttek on May 10, 2014, 11:30:59 PM I think sharing would be much more fair. So we have a longterm solution and something for now. We should then probably decide, if someone gets a larger share, if his pool is clearly better.
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: smooth on May 10, 2014, 11:34:54 PM I agree too. Both for moral reason and because more pool means less centralization. You can have more pools even with only one open source implementation ;) Multiple decentralized implementation are good too though. If there a exploit or even just a bug in one implementation and all the pools using it get hacked or crash, the other pools wouldn't be affected. I will likely solo mine for the foreseeable future and encourage others to do so even though payouts are erratic. So there will likely be a surviving network even if pools get hacked, but more layers of protection are better.

Quote nodejs command -------------- The upstream name for the Node.js interpreter command is "node". In Debian the interpreter command has been changed to "nodejs". This was done to prevent a namespace collision: other commands use the same name in their upstreams, such as ax25-node from the "node" package. Scripts calling Node.js as a shell command must be changed to instead use the "nodejs" command. /usr/share/doc/nodejs/README.Debian (END) Not sure how to resolve that though.

I think is more simple and more efficace for make payout if miner is payed direct in the block I would advise caution here. This is a brand new code base and there is no way to know without testing it if all the pieces would handle coinbase payouts correctly. The ill-advised attempt to do merged mining has already broken things twice. Coinbase payouts are definitely a desirable feature, I'm just advising a yellow light here, not red. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: perl on May 12, 2014, 11:02:50 PM You caution is useless .
I do not want to make a change in a dark corner :) I preferred and pushes the change is done in the official sources.

Also regarding the payments in coinbase talk. That isn't practical to do with a normal Bitcoin-based pool for a few reasons - and there are even more reasons why its not practical to do with this new cryptocurrency. Its what p2pool does and it's part of the reason p2pool has its drawbacks compared to a central mining pool. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: mickey_miner on May 12, 2014, 11:53:57 PM zone117x,
Regarding the current state of pool code. What happens if a block is solved? Will that be saved to the pool wallet? I was assuming that the payment processing was still under development but that solved blocks would be on pool wallet. Is that incorrect? Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: zone117x on May 13, 2014, 12:10:09 AM Yes the code is there to submit blocks when found although I haven't been able to test it. Assuming the documentation on bytecoin wiki is correct blocks should be submitted to daemon correctly.
I'm still developing payment processing so I'll have to setup a testnet of sorts somehow to test it all out.

They don't guarantee it 100% of the time but most payments are made that way. EDIT: To clarify how this works, the miners who contribute to mining a block don't necessarily get paid from that block, their shares get credited like any other pool and upon reaching a minimum payment threshold their eventual payments are made using some future block's coinbase. That avoids the issues p2pool has with dust payouts vs. minimum share value.

Miners show shares submitted successfully, Pool shows shares accepted. No errors. Guess will have to find block to know everything works for sure. Great work so far.

You could just make a regular payout if you go too long in between blocks. Of course if the pool isn't finding blocks then you aren't going to be making payouts period (unless PPS).

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: zone117x on May 18, 2014, 06:13:59 PM Alright, as of today I declare the pool software developed by LucasJones and I in a tested, stable, and working state: https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool
The three important features of a pool were all officially working about two days ago: 1) Share distribution and management , 2) Block solving, and 3) Paying out miners. And as of today several pool ops running our software have confirmed it is working. On top of building the basic pool that the bounty calls for: we have implemented many other extra, important pool features which are listed here: https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool#features I'll quote the features here as well: Quote
The github readme has fully detailed instructions on pool usage as well as other useful instructions/information. LucasJones has also implemented Cryptonight mining into CPUMiner (https://github.com/LucasJones/cpuminer-multi) which is another huge contribution to the community as reliance on simpleminer is a bad position to be in. I have also built a noob-friendly Windows app to help Windows user's start mining by simply downloading and clicking "start". The pool front-end links to it on the "getting started" page, and pool ops can easily configure the app to automatically mine on their pool once downloaded and ran. Here it is on github: https://github.com/zone117x/cryptonote-easy-miner LucasJones and I claim first working and verified pool server - along with many additional tools and features along with it. The pool server and other tools are also still in development as we believe in this community & technology, and would like to continue improving these tools to help facilitate the adoption of this technology.

We are waiting for tacotime to come back from vacation before completing the process of evaluating the submissions and awarding the bounty. He said five days, that was 2-3 days ago, so it shouldn't be long. Please stand by. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: zone117x on May 18, 2014, 08:02:27 PM No problem :)
Figured I'd make that announcement here once the pool was confirmed working by several pool ops. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: archit on May 19, 2014, 06:08:42 PM Just wait for me before paying out ::)
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: dreamspark on May 19, 2014, 06:22:43 PM Its going to be a nice pay out now with the recent rise in price
Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: smooth on May 19, 2014, 07:52:12 PM Just wait for me before paying out ::) What was stated by the organizers of the bounty is that two pool implementations available within a reasonable period of time would share the bounty.

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: archit on May 23, 2014, 04:29:13 PM As it goes... I announce my pool named "Monero-Pool", source available freely on https://github.com/archit120/Monero-Pool to be complete with all the necessary features for a pool. The pool code has been extensively tested by me on a testnet and realnet as well for the past week.
I know I'm about 5 days late to get to this state and it's completely up to the community to decide whether I get a part of the bounty an I shall expect whatever would be the decision. Saying that some of the features as seen on README are Quote A beautiful front end. Highly scalable pool server which tries to get the maximum power out of multiple cores of your server without using Synchronous blocking. Extremely detailed logging. Extremely intricate error management so that the server never crashes out on you. Compatibility with all major OSes. IP banning. Payment processing. Extremely detailed database. Front end with individual miner statistics and beautiful charts. Address validation. Vardiff support Live stats I am also working on stratum support but since cpuminer is managed by LucasJones and he is the co-developer of the other pool implementation as well so it's extremely likely I would be playing catch up on this one too. Lastly I hope that you people are considerate of the hard work and time I poured into this project. I also to wish make it clear that none of the code is stolen/copied from node-cryptonode-pool as zone117x is always rampaging about. The only thing I ever asked him for was difficulty->target for which I soon found a faster and better way.

Thanks Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: zone117x on May 27, 2014, 05:51:59 AM Looks like majority of Monero hash rate is running through my pool code at this point - a week after announcing my pool :)
Every Monero pool (and every other cryptonote coin) I've seen is running my code. re: superresistant, An "EADDRINUSE" error implies you're trying to open a port that is already in use. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: tacotime on May 27, 2014, 03:53:00 PM So, we would like to award the bounty in the next few days.
We would ask zone117x/lucasjones and archit to state their case about the validity of their pool software and demonstrate the number of blocks being mined with it and the number of functional pools available using their software, so we can adequately assess how much of the reward is given to each group. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: zone117x on May 27, 2014, 05:55:04 PM Alrighty, I got a list of pools from #monero bot and from Monero announcement thread. Every single one (except closed-source Minergate of course) is running my code. And as I stated in my previous post: if you add up their reported hash rates then it would appear that majority of network hash rate is being managed with my pool software, with the rest being solo-mined as I haven't found a single pool NOT running my code.

Check out the repo readme for more technical details https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool Something else quite important - everything I listed above is not theoretical. They are features thoroughly tested by the community pool ops and miners and running in production right now. I could call on pool ops to give testimonies but I don't think that is necessary. The fact that every single pool is running my code seems like enough evidence. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: archit on May 28, 2014, 02:16:48 AM None. That's all I would say. The reason, I don't know, maybe it's cause I was late but definitely not that my pool doesn't perform well. The features are available on the github README but I guess that hardly matters now.

If you are able to do so, your demonstration will be much, much later. Asking for something like an even split at this point is fairly absurd. I'm all in favor of having multiple open source pool implementations available for pool operators to choose from. But without some sort of evidence that this is actually a working and workable pool implementation we have nothing to go on in terms of fair judging of the pool award. Any contended awards will be voted on by the donors. So we are not making a final decision here, but I think our reasoning is sound and will likely be adopted by the donors/voters. (Of course tacotime and myself are major donors, so we have an actual vote as well as our leadership in sorting out the situation.)

Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: mickey_miner on May 30, 2014, 05:12:41 PM Look, you were much later, and your pool hasn't even been demonstrated to work at all. If you are able to do so, your demonstration will be much, much later. Asking for something like an even split at this point is fairly absurd. I'm all in favor of having multiple open source pool implementations available for pool operators to choose from. But without some sort of evidence that this is actually a working and workable pool implementation we have nothing to go on in terms of fair judging of the pool award. Any contended awards will be voted on by the donors. So we are not making a final decision here, but I think our reasoning is sound and will likely be adopted by the donors/voters.

Also, you can probably just encode the addresses right into the username using commas or something. However, bear in mind that merged mining with Monero is somewhat illegitimate and a bit of an exploit, since the community voted against it, but amphibian disregarded that and implemented it anyway. Attitudes on the Monero team on the matter range from indifferent to opposed (I'm pretty sure no one actively supports it). So you might be wasting your money if Monero removes support for merged mining, which might happen, though I don't see this as a priority right now. Merged mining support in the pool software could still be used with Bytecoin (and QCN), in any case.

Merged mining support in the pool software could still be used with Bytecoin (and QCN), in any case. That's arguable. Most (though not all) of the reasons put forward in opposition to merge mining with Bytecoin apply to merge mining with anything else. But it is not arguable that the development team has no interest in supporting it, and it might be removed (though as I said unlikely to happen soon since not a priority), so if merge mining with Monero is a big part of your value proposition, don't waste your money. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: surfer43 on June 13, 2014, 12:16:33 AM How would support for merged mining with Fantomcoin be removed? ???
Most of the reasons for opposing merged mining with Bytecoin was to not be associated with it. The other reasons were similar to this one: Let me explain this with a simple example (we consider the blocktime is the same for each chain): Let's say there is 20 peoples mining with the same hardware They are mining for the duration of 40 blocks. So 40 blocks of Bytecoin will be produced (noted : BytecoinB) So 40 blocks of Monero will be produced (noted : MoneroB) - Without Merged Mining (current situation): 10 people are mining Bytecoin 10 people are mining Monero On average, for 40 block in the blockchain, each user will get 4 blocks of the chain he mine (40/10). So : 10 people get 4 BytecoinB 10 people get 4 MoneroB - With Merged Mining : 20 people are merged mining Bytecoin and Monero On average, for 40 block in the blockchain, each user will get 2 blocks of each chain (40/20). So : 20 people get 2 BytecoinB 20 people get 2 MoneroB - Conlusion : Without Merged mining, you can chose to have either 4 BytecoinB or 4 MoneroB. With Merged mining, you will have 2 BytecoinB and 2 MoneroB. - Side note : With this example it's easy to understand why (if you are a rational economic agent) you don't have the choice to not do merged mining if its available (you will just lose 2 BytecoinB). So if you think Bytecoin was ninja mined and you don't want to validate that with your hash power, you better not want merged mining to be implemented in Monero. SlyWax. This argument does not apply where Monero is the donor chain because it is illogical to mine the merged mining chain (Fantomcoin) only, so the effect on donor chain difficulty is non-existent. This argument only applies when Monero is the merged mining chain. There were no arguments against Monero being a donor chain. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: smooth on June 13, 2014, 12:38:27 AM This argument does not apply where Monero is the donor chain because it is illogical to mine the merged mining chain (Fantomcoin) only It is illogical to mine any merge mined coin on its own. That's exactly the point. Quote There were no arguments against Monero being a donor chain. The argument is that it ultimately turns into an arms race where everyone has to mine every merged mine coin in order to remain competitive. This has both practical and ethical negatives. The practical is that carries greater costs for the miner of running and maintaining more nodes, holding or selling more coins, etc., with ultimately the same value return (since difficulties adjust to approach break even on total value returned). The ethical is that miners should be able to choose which coin or coins to support without putting themselves at a structural competitive disadvantage. This is accomplished with individual mining where a coin recruits its own miners based on the merits of the coin itself. There are other, more complex and subtle issues I choose not to address right now because they aren't needed to explain why merged mining isn't wanted for Monero, never has been, and likely never will be. Both of these issues are exactly the same whether the mining is merged with BCN or FCN and whether the mining is donor or daughter. But as I said, there is certainly no technical reason why the pool software can't support it, though in addition to questioning whether it is a good investment, I would also question whether this should really be a priority for pool software that still isn't reliable, etc. Title: Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool Post by: archit on June 13, 2014, 04:02:44 PM So I need to provide my address now?
