Title: Code to check pool connection and connect elsewhere if down Post by: TurdHurdur on March 06, 2011, 11:21:52 AM I've come up with some Perl to handle when a miner loses its connection to a pool and switch to another pool/local bitcoind retrying every so many seconds(30 by default): http://pastebin.com/DhJeDmFV
It requires POE from CPAN, perhaps other modules depending on your Perl distribution. Run it with no arguments or -h/--help for detailed and important usage info. I've tested it out with a few miners, poclbm an ufasoft's miner work well, jgarzik's doesn't work so well, but can be made to work on Linux with a --conduit pty-pipe argument which requires IO::Pty from CPAN. Here are a couple examples of connecting to [Tycho]'s pool (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3889.0) and if it can't be connected to, connect to a local bitcoind: Code: perl miner_connect.pl -c "poclbm.exe --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=username --pass=passwerd --device=0" -f "poclbm.exe --user=localuser --pass=localpass --device=0" --stream Code: perl miner_connect.pl -c "bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -t 1 -o http://deepbit.net:8332/ -u username -p password" -f "bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -t 1 -o http://localhost:8332/ -u localuser -p localpass" --stream Hope it's useful. Feel free to ask comments/questions and modify the code to your liking.

Feel free to ask comments/questions and modify the code to your liking. Can u please explain, how to do it in windows & cmd prompt. Also what needs to be downloaded besides miners?

That'd be nice, but I don't know if each miner's creator would feel like doing that.Can u please explain, how to do it in windows & cmd prompt. Also what needs to be downloaded besides miners? Download and install Perl from http://strawberryperl.com/ I used 5.12 x86. The installer complained a bit, but everything was fine.Run the CPAN Client, you can type it into the search field after pressing Start/Windows button. Or run cmd.exe and type cpan, hit enter. From the cpan prompt, type install POE if there's one failed test(which I got), you can type notest install POE then type exit, and hit Enter. Everything should work fine after that so long as you input the right -c and -f arguments.

ppm install Win32::Console Win32::Job from the commandline. When installing POE via cpan, you may fail 1-3 tests which don't seem the effect the usability of the script, so do a notest install POE in cpan. The script also works with Activestate's Perl distro ActivePerl (http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads), I tried the x86 version but it could work with the x86_64 version. Installing POE using ActivePerl requires the command line: ppm install POE perhaps you'd find that easier. Title: Re: Code to check pool connection and connect elsewhere if down Post by: Dude65535 on March 09, 2011, 04:57:17 AM I use a simpler but clumsier method for about the same effect. I run 2 copies of poclbm one with -f 60 connected to a mining pool and one with -f 300 solo mining.
The combined hash rate is about the same and the second copy immediately picks up any slack if there is a network hiccup. The rest of the time the second copy gets about 6-7% of the gpu power.

I did as u said & also went to site & downloaded DhJeDmFV.txt & rename it to miner_connect.pl & put the file in C:\strawberry\perl\bin folder. Then created batch file with this & ran it & got this error. perl miner_connect.pl -c "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\poclbm_py2exe_20110428\poclbm.exe -d0 -v -w128 -f10 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=username --pass=paswword --device=0" -f "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\poclbm_py2exe_20110428\poclbm.exe -d0 -v -w128 -f1 -- host=mining.bitcoin.cz --port=8332 --user=username --pass=password" --stream Can't locate POE.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib C:/straw berry/perl/vendor/lib C:/strawberry/perl/lib .) at miner_connect.pl line 10. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at miner_connect.pl line 10. username & password, i changed here for security. what is the problem? How to solve it? |
