git just equals a better/fancy code version repository based on cvs which you may have used http://cheat.errtheblog.com/s/git two main commands you want git clone giturl (makes a clone of a git repository) git checkout branch/verison (changes to a different branch/version in you local copy of the repository)eg in the bitcoin one master has all the latest pulls(patches) that have been accepted, version 0.8.1 was the lastest release

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm back!

Does not really effect me either way, but why does the passport stamp say 15th July and the original flight details say the arrival is on the 14th? If the stamp says the 15th would have meant you left on the 14th on a late flight or a early flight on the 15th july. Means you changed your flight to a day later and you were not travelling when the hack occurred?

Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [400GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool

on: April 23, 2013, 07:58:15 PM

Quote from: Aseras on April 23, 2013, 06:23:41 PM Use older firmware, the one with 2.10.5a IIRC and use username+16 or username+32 diff for stratum to work. Still expect 20-30% DOA, but full speed hashrates after a minute or so. 2.11.4 with the worker threads seems to break p2pool again under stratum. I've been out of town, plus buried in work and just getting back. Interested to know what sort of machine the server was on ? And if it was a ssd setup for tmpfs?

Quote from: deepceleron on April 23, 2013, 01:34:42 PM Stop looking at the whois information like noobs. It is a private registration, and the information you see there is the privacy company. Result: Domain - Blockchain.com IS currently subscribed to WhoisGuard. If the person doesn't answer their emails, then the only way you might even find out the owner is by using law enforcement in Panama. Suing the domain registrar won't help you either. http://domainnamewire.com/2011/05/09/namecheap-sued-over-whoisguard/ Even if you were to trademark the domain name and pay the $5000+ to file with ICANN, you would likely get tossed under arbitration (possibly with the registrar representing); they only need evidence that you acted in bad faith to obtain the domain and you have no established business. Actually you should have read a bit more on the case you posted its not the first one(and they lost that one) and namecheap have given up the details of the registered person in multiple cases. Also wrong on the UDRP, fee for single panelist is $1500 and the registar is not allowed to be involved in it Quote G. The Role of the Registrar What is the registrar's role in the administrative proceeding? Except as decribed below, the registrar does not and will not participate in the administration or conduct of the administrative proceeding. The WIPO Center has prepared a flowchart (word or pdf) illustrating the basic interactions between the WIPO Center and a registrar in the course of a case. The registrar's role in the administrative proceeding is as follows: (i) To provide requested information to the WIPO Center, including confirming that the disputed domain name is registered with it, that it is registered by the person or entity identified as the Respondent in the Complaint, providing the Respondent's contact details and, when necessary, the Registration Agreement and associated documents; (ii) To prevent the transfer to a third party of a domain name registration after an Administrative Proceeding has commenced; and (iii) To implement the Administrative Panel's decision. And I assume that the person who owns blockchain.info has enough proof that he has a established business and not acting in bad faith.

Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Bitcoind+Stratum+ ????? Frontend

on: April 23, 2013, 06:20:29 PM

This was cross posted in my thread as well and I basically said the same thing as kinlo. Tute was done for people who wanted to mine at home, or only risk what they mine. This should stand out even more so with ozcoin incident which I believe was using a modified version simple coin. Apart from just the software, front and pool server. The amount of stuff to be done to try and secure a server isnt going to happen for anyone who has to follow a tutorial to install the pool software, it is more then likely going to be above their current skill level.

Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon users: bitcoind and slush's/generalfaults mining pool setup

on: April 23, 2013, 01:52:28 PM

Thanks I fiddled with simple coin and mining farm. Got simplecoin to kinda work. You need to change the pool conf file to write to MySQL and setup MySQL. But a MAJOR warning. Simple coin currently apparently had major security flaws. So it needs work and code review and maybe even design review on how payments are processed. There are some chose changes in pull request that haven't been applied. So currently I don't think it is safe to use. As there has been a fair few cases of pools who used it when it was first released being hacked.

Until bitcoind is synced with the rest of the network the pool software will keep checking but won't give out anyway work to anyone. If 12.04 or 12.10 either is fine 12.04 is just a long term release

Ive replied to your message noel, below is from another post of mine but the last part has changed for p2pool and so software is updated to the current versions.

This is just for bitcoin, dont know anything about the altcoins.

This is use at your own risk. I'm not a expert.

Re the major pools.
They seem to be good people and the amount of work they do and investment over the years including writing the software below, should be worth the 1 to 3 percent they ask. But in the name of diversity..

You can do this in virtual box to give it a try out first.

So you have yourself a ubuntu 12.1032bit (see a post further down on what changes are needed for 64bit) linux server install and you want to setup a pool server for solo mining on it.
I normally do this from windows box using putty to ssh into the ubuntu box.
Things you need

Make sure your login is in the sudoers list (this will be automatic if you installed from dvd and created your login name with the installer).

Then at the command prompt first thing we are going to do is update and upgrade the system to the latest packages
with all the sudos you have to put your login password in when it asks for it.
with the apt-get installs hit y and enter whenever it asks you.

Code:

sudo apt-get update

once its complete

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

now to install bitcoind

make sure git is installed first

Code:

sudo apt-get install git

now make directory under you home one called like so

Code:

mkdir git

change the directory you just made

Code:

cd git

get the source for bitcoind instructions to build it are also here

Code:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin
git checkout 0.8.1

Install the build dependencies

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev

wget https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+files/libdb4.8_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+files/libdb4.8-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+files/libdb4.8%2B%2B_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+files/libdb4.8%2B%2B-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8++_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8++-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb

then to build

Code:

cd src/
make -f makefile.unix

once its finished building without errors, copy it into /usr/local/bin

Code:

sudo cp ./bitcoind /usr/local/bin/

then run it by typing

Code:

bitcoind

it will output

Code:

Error: To use bitcoind, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
/home/yourusername/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
It is recommended you use the following random password:
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=EjkjenJHJhhfdkwemkjmnkk37883njn37hfdkjn38n
(you do not need to remember this password)
The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.

cut and past the rpcuser and rpcpassword lines to a temporary text file and save it for later.

now create the bitcoin.conf file

Code:

cd
cd .bitcoin

open up bitcoin.conf in a text editor like pico

Code:

pico bitcoin.conf

add the lines

and cut and past the two lines from above that you saved from above from the temporary text file into the bitcoin.conf

server=1
rpcport=8332
rpctimeout=30

so it should look like this once finsihed

server=1
rpcport=8332
rpctimeout=30
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=EjkjenJHJhhfdkwemkjmnkk37883njn37hfdkjn38n

Code:

then press cntrl x
hit y to save
hit enter to save it to bitcoin.conf

then change the permissions on bitcoin.conf to user only read permissions

Code:

chmod go-rwx bitcoin.conf

now start bitcoind

Code:

bitcoind -daemon

it should show

Bitcoin server starting
hit enter again to get back to shell prompt

after a couple of hours or up to 8 depending on hardware and bandwidth it will sync the block chain

after 10 minutes or so on the command line type

Code:

bitcoind getinfo

you get something similar to

Code:

blah@ks3098647:~$ bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 80000,
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 2332935,
    "timeoffset" : -5,

    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Onto p2pool

Install the dependencies

Code:


sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web

If you are not using a python version Python 2.6 or older then you will also need this dependency

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-argparse

get the p2pool software

Code:


cd
cd git/
git clone https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool.git

For avalon users only there is a separate branch you can try(dont ask me if it works ask foresttv) you can give it a try by doing the following.

Code:

git checkout avalon

to run the pool, bitcoind has to be fully synced first(p2pool will tell you anyway if its not)

Code:


cd p2pool
python run_p2pool.py -a your bitcoin address here  --give-author 0.5 bitcoinrpc rpcpassword

-a <your bit coin address>
is a default address to send coins to incase somone connects without a bitcoin address in their username
If you dont specify this is uses one from the bitcoind wallet on the server

--give-author is the % of what you mine that you want to give the developer of the software

bitcoinrpc is the rpc username from your bitcoin.conf
rpcpassword is the rpcpassword from your bitcoind.conf
both of these you pasted into the file ealier in this tute.

What you should see when it works

bitcoin rpc username or password wrong

once the pool is running it should start syncing with the other p2pool peers.

check the server is running on

http://youripordomainname:9332/

then connect to it with your miner software username is your bitcoin address(this is how you get paid for mining from the pool), password is random it doesnt matter.

Once you have tested it and its working control c to stop the pool server

then hit the up arrow key and put a & at the end of the line
like so

Code:

python run_p2pool.py -a your bitcoin address here  --give-author 0.5 bitcoinrpc rpcpasswordfromabove > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Which will run it in the background you can use screen for this, it makes thing easier.

screen
then hit enter
type the line to start the pool
once it starts hit cntrl d
which detaches it
and screen -r to reattach it
see O.P post for more info.

If the machine is rebooted for some reason you will have to start bitcoind and the pool server again. This can be automated if you want.

Cheers and good luck with your mining.

Quote from: Amph on April 20, 2013, 09:01:52 PM it is always written "Shares: 0 total (0 orphaned, 0 dead) Efficiency: " is this normal? but in cgminer, there is written best share 15... Think of it in that the Shares: 0 equals a small block from the actual block the whole pool is working on. Then the shares you see in cgminer are shares the your p2pool sends you to work out the small block share of the big block.

(e.g. is it at home or live on the net somewhere) But you will need to add the pool server 3333 also its stats port if you wish to use it 8889 Also the 8333 bitcoind port. JSON port isn't needed unless you have software outside accessing it. If the server is hosted somewhere you will have open up ssh port to allow access to ip from where you are accessing the server from(if you don't have a static ip at home this gets complicated). Make sure you create ssh keys and turn off password authentication. (google open ssh keys ubuntu) for how to do it. Make sure you test it or have easy access to the machine before you disable password auth. If its live on the net somewhere please make sure that the pool and bitcoind are running under their own nologin usernames and definitely not root. Id recheck the payout address on a regular basis as well. Don't use a address from the local wallet on the machine, use cold wallet with a watch only address. The list is semi endless on securing it. If its for mining for others as well get help.
