Title: Bitparking Namecoin Mining Pool [30 GHash/s] Post by: doublec on May 18, 2011, 10:48:44 AM I started a pool for mining namecoins (http://dot-bit.org/Main_Page). It uses standard bitcoin miners and is share based like other pools. Miners solve difficulty 1 shares and get a proportion of the generated coins based on their contribution. The pool takes a 3% fee and coins are available for withdrawal immediately a block is generated - no waiting for maturity.
Details are at the Bitparking Namecoin Pool Page (http://bitparking.com/pool/). Basically you point your miner to the server at http://bitparking.com:9098 and use a Namecoin address as your username. The password can be anything. Withdrawals are only available to that Namecoin address. To withdraw, go to http://bitparking.com/pool, enter the address in the form and press the button. That takes you to your miner statistics. There will be a withdrawal button there if you have any coins. Information on setting up a namecoin client to create the address you need can be found in my blog post about namecoins (http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2011/05/12/namecoin-a-dns-alternative-based-on-bitcoin.html) Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing Post by: maxcorrads on May 18, 2011, 11:33:33 AM I'm in!

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing Post by: doublec on May 19, 2011, 02:51:49 AM Someone is mining in the pool with an address of N5gW....4z3 but they've got a spurious '.NameCoin' appended to it. Possibly they intended for this to be the password? This means you won't be able to withdraw your coins since the address is invalid. PM me when you've changed your address and I'll fix things up.
Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing Post by: fpgaminer on May 19, 2011, 03:51:48 AM It won't let me withdraw anything. I click withdraw and it just goes back to the homepage without sending anything (I checked my wallet, and it also continues to list the balance).

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing Post by: bullox on May 19, 2011, 04:53:27 PM Someone explain what a namecoin is, how it is used, and why would we need them.

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing Post by: khal on May 19, 2011, 06:20:28 PM You are missing the page : what is namecoin, which still doesn't exist :p
I'll explain that after eating some food :p (or someone else can do it now too) Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing Post by: ChaosFox on May 19, 2011, 07:42:15 PM Hehe, been mining solo these last days, still quite feasible but I was kinda waiting for something like this. ;D I wasn't able to get in early for generating Bitcoins, perhaps I can do it for the Namecoin, I've always been wanting to have my own addresses, too, anyway...

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [1 GHash/s] Post by: de4l on May 27, 2011, 02:36:06 PM should i use different address for each miner or can i use same one for all of them? I believe that's up to you, the address is simply the address you want to be paid out to, do you want everything in one address or to separate ones? Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [1 GHash/s] Post by: doublec on May 27, 2011, 03:36:41 PM I believe that's up to you, the address is simply the address you want to be paid out to, do you want everything in one address or to separate ones? This is correct. Using the same address is fine. So is using different addresses.Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [12 GHash/s] Post by: doublec on June 09, 2011, 06:55:10 AM I recently rewrote the pool software to handle more load. You can still withdraw from the old pool account and I'll automatically withdraw the remaining amounts next week to those that haven't withdrawn. The new pool is operating at the same URL and port. Withdrawals from the old pool are available at http://oldpool.bitparking.com/pool. If you have any questions let me know.

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [60 GHash/s] Post by: doublec on June 13, 2011, 07:14:46 AM The errors are due to the long poller having problems. What's happening is there's so much computing power on the namecoin network right now, and difficulty hasn't adjusted yet, that blocks are being solved every 2 minutes or so. With the thousands of long polling clients it's taking longer than this to notify them of a new block. So multiple blocks go by before you get the notification. At some point the long poller server locks up. Things will calm down in a day or so when difficulty adjusts to match the network speed.

4. Create the "bitcoin.conf" file Windows : file must be located in your application data folder \ namecoin Linux : file must be located in ~/.namecoin Populate "bitcoin.conf" with at least these lines : rpcuser=your_user rpcpassword=your_pass rpcport=8336 daemon=1 But when in step 5 to 8, I typed "c:\namecoin_win32\namecoind.exe", there is no "bitcoin server starting" appear in the command prompt and I have no Idea what to do next. I read your blog but its in linux not in windows, anyone can help? 5. Start namecoind again bitcoin server starting 6. List available commands: Note : on windows, you may need to open a new terminal. ./namecoind help 7. Get your first namecoin address(es): You will need an address if you want to receive namecoins. ./namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true 8.

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [60 GHash/s] Post by: Yeti on June 16, 2011, 01:17:32 PM Have that, too. Looking at the output from DiabloMiner it seems there are a lot of invalid blocks or timeouts happening. The hashrate that the pool reports back to you is only based on the valid blocks it counts.
The bitparking guys say it's because calculation speed is increasing so fast that sometimes a block is solved before you had time to get even one share in and that that should stabilize after the next difficulty change.

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [60 GHash/s] Post by: wachtwoord on June 16, 2011, 04:43:28 PM For me it mined all day but I had ~18% rejected. That is a lot (even normally in this pool I had ~5% rejected but I thought that was the sample size).
Is something wrong? Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [60 GHash/s] Post by: Freakin on June 16, 2011, 05:33:14 PM yeah I'm getting 20-30% rejected as well. wtf
Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [60 GHash/s] Post by: Noise on June 16, 2011, 06:37:44 PM Pool hash rate kept going up & up but it seemed like it took longer & longer to solve blocks, then it died.
doublec twitter on Jun 6 "Rewrote my namecoin mining pool server in Ur/Web. Old server hit 100% and died at 20 getworks/s. New one at 45 getworks/s and going fine." Looks like ~130 getwork/s is current limit, I don't remember it getting much higher. This is the only namecoin mining pool at the moment so it got pretty busy.

Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [60 GHash/s] Post by: wachtwoord on June 16, 2011, 11:49:16 PM Sure, go here: http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin
After that you have a namecoinaddress (resulting from the the getnewaddress command), copy this, you'll need it the next step. Then use your miner of choice. I use Phoenix so (on a command prompt) run: Phoenix.exe -u http://MYNAMECOINADDRES:anything@bitparking.com:9098/ DEVICE=0 -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=128 -q 3 On the ming website you can access your account with the MYNAMECOINADDRESS and no password and this way you can also cash out to your wallet. If you want to see your wallet content you can type: "namecoind getinfo" on the command prompt but please note the funds are only shown here after 120 conformations. If you want to see it sooner type: "namecoind listtransactions" and check the amount (and the conformation count) of the last transaction Hope this was clear enough, if not please ask :) Title: Re: Namecoin Mining Pool in testing [60 GHash/s] Post by: zpinto on June 17, 2011, 09:01:41 AM Im getting every few seconds, "Problems comunicating with bitcoin RPC" on GUIminer.

Title: Re: Bitparking Namecoin Mining Pool [30 GHash/s] Post by: doublec on August 10, 2011, 12:42:25 PM I've removed the 'for testing' from the thread title since it's the oldest namecoin mining pool and has been running fine since moving to the new server 6 weeks ago. The pool has survived some of the crazy highs and lows during the profitable difficulty periods, peaking at 350 Ghash/s during the last one.
