121  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon users: bitcoind and slush's/generalfaults mining pool setup on: April 20, 2013, 07:28:10 PM
Trying to get this setup in preparation for impending Avalon arrival.

Machine is running 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.10.

Here is a transcript of my pain:

Quote

install a more recent version first, using
'easy_install -U distribute'.
(Currently using distribute 0.6.24dev-r0 (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages))
error: Setup script exited with 2

It looks like Stratum is demanding a version of distribute of >=0.6.28 and doesn't recognize distribute 0.6.36.

Any suggested workarounds?

thanks,

humble

Maybe follow the actual instructions? I dont install it as root. sudo carries some path environment variables across.

Which might be causing what happens. Also you are not in the git directory, when you do the easy_install stratum  be in the directory before the stratum directory.

If both of those dont work.

change directory to inside the stratum directory.

then
Code:
sudo python setup.py install

Hey Tiktoc -
What build error are you getting with midstate? 

I have been messing around trying to get eloipool working and no luck so far, but I think I got past that step.  I think I needed to change the -lpython3.2 to -lpython3.2mu when compiling on ubuntu.

Post your error and maybe we get eloipool working on ubuntu.


It was missing some include files I think from memory or wrong version. Will have another go at it in the next few days.
jgarzik/luke-jr? i think replied in that thread and said that midstate wasnt actully needed unless unless you were using a specfic miner program demon something?

Hi I am trying to setup a private p2pool for myself and a couple of friends I have followed all the steps to No. 5- Point your miners to your newly P2Pool; to which all i get is "problems communicating with bitcoin RPC" i am lost i have tried to google it in a hundred different ways to no avail.
I could use some help thanks

Where are you getting the errors from p2pool or the miners themselves. The miners dont need to speak to bitcoind directly so you dont need to allow outside addresses access.

If its the p2pool software, make sure the rpcuser and rpcpassword in the bitcoin.conf file is the same you are using on the p2pool command line.
124  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Work in progess] Burnins Avalon Chip to mining board service on: April 20, 2013, 11:42:22 AM
Any idea how many layers the board may be?

I'm interesting in producing boards based on the design and selling finished miners into the US market.

What does it say in the opening post?

4 layer.

Transactions from where? and on what?
When I tried the mysql option in generalfaults stratum-mining seemed to be working.

127  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Noob Issues with FPGA on: April 19, 2013, 11:02:39 PM
did you remake and reinstall after the that last configure?

eg the

Code:
sudo make
then the end of the output should be like this
  CCLD   bfgminer-rpc
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/brad/git/bfgminer'
 /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin'
  /usr/bin/install -c bfgminer bitforce-firmware-flash bfgminer-rpc '/usr/local/bin'

 /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin/bitstreams'
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 bitstreams/COPYING_fpgaminer bitstreams/COPYING_ztex bitstreams/fpgaminer_x6500-overcl                                                                                                                           ocker-0402.bit bitstreams/ztex_ufm1_15b1.bit bitstreams/ztex_ufm1_15d1.bit bitstreams/ztex_ufm1_15d3.bit bitstream                                                                                                                           s/ztex_ufm1_15d4.bin bitstreams/ztex_ufm1_15d4.bit bitstreams/ztex_ufm1_15y1.bin bitstreams/ztex_ufm1_15y1.bit '/u                                                                                                                           sr/local/bin/bitstreams'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/yourusername/git/bfgminer'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yourusername/git/bfgminer'

then
Code:
sudo make install

If you run it after root and it doesnt detect still past the the results of the lsusb for the other guys and they might be able to help you .

128  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Noob Issues with FPGA on: April 19, 2013, 10:40:10 PM
you dont have to set a password for root, you can just so sudo su and use your username password and it will enter the root shell

on building bfgminer post the errors, but it looks like you missed ./configure after ./autogen.sh

was it this when running ./autogen.sh

Code:
Running autoreconf -if...
./autogen.sh: 17: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found


If so install autoconf and the other dependenices
remove the sudo if you have already used the su command.
Code:
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo apt-get install libjansson-dev
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
then
Code:
 ./autogen.sh
./configure
make

once its compiled with no errors

Code:
make install

edit: had wrong libusb package

output should look something like this for ./configure

 Avalon.ASICs.........: Disabled
  BitForce.devices.....: Enabled
  Icarus.FPGAs.........: Enabled
  ModMiner.FPGAs.......: Enabled

cosurgi, thanks, I'll google it. Right now I'm designing "final" EC2 architecture so any experience in this area is valuable.
I think I found it:

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/12/14/1851240/why-anonymous-cant-take-down-amazoncom

and I found an older one too:

http://it.slashdot.org/story/04/07/07/1811211/akamai-how-they-fought-recent-ddos-attacks

But I think that going with amazon is a good bet.

EDIT: just remember how bitomat.pl went bankrupt: he kept wallet.dat on EC2 (maybe cloud, or something, I don't remember) and reconfigured something in the servers. After restart the system was "clean". So as usual, keep backups safe Smiley

Yeah, from the control panel, the instances are delete on termination by default so it deletes the volume that used to boot the instance.

Find the smallest instance type you need for your stratum mining ami image to run on smoothly under moderate load(cost benefit for number of instances).

write the logs and variable stuff to another permanent instance.

You can spread the sm instances over different available zones.

Have some normal sm instances, then use spot instances, lot cheaper (can be terminated any time they go over your max price though so have to keep more of a eye on it).

Set the max price on the spot instances slightly higher then the current price so you have a bit of leeway till they get terminated.

If you can use small its $151.2 month for 30 spot instances or med is $187.2 for 20 a month if prices stay steady.

You could also run a few instances off the load balancers and give the ips to the bigger miners.

131  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: bash command on: April 17, 2013, 07:27:03 PM
Do you mean generate a new address, or get a private key from a address already in the wallet?

generate a new address in the default account wallet is on the command line
if on unix
Code:
bitcoind getnewaddress ""

to get the private key of a address

Code:
bitcoind listaddressgroupings

Find the address you are looking for in the list and copy it.

Code:
bitcoind dumpprivkey <paste the  copied address here>


You can do the same in the debug window in bitcoin-qt
132  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CGMINER GPU FPGA overc monit fanspd RPC stratum linux/windws/osx/mip/r-pi 2.11.4 on: April 17, 2013, 07:16:31 PM
it seems that CGminer is splitting the load between my two cards so running each one at half speed. When i run one GPU at a time with the -d command i can get my left video card to run full speed.  But when i try to run them together the feedback states the mhash but when ending a session i see it was just split between the two cards.. When i try -d 0 and or -d 1 only my left card seems to want to work, and crossfire is not enabled.

This is on an Alienware M17xR2 Laptop with two 5800 Junipers, they should be running at about 185 mhash each

Doesnt that model have dual ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870 in it?

If so then the speeds are nearly dead on according to this https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

He had something similar to this for trusted users, but he said OVH black holed those ips and the one getting attacked all at once.

134  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Setting up a pool server on: April 16, 2013, 10:00:41 PM
The question I cannot find is that you set up a wallet lets say the sites wallet, people join, they mine for that wallet and that wallet gets filled with btc, the users shares are tracked, and they have an option to pay out, aka send from master wallet to users wallet.. is that how it goes, or is my thinking wrong?
Yup basically, but I assume that they mine straight to a cold wallet(s), and have another hot wallet they use for payments.

Someone else this week forked simple coin was and was planing on upgrading it(post in theforums somewhere about it).

If you search the custom hardware forum there are two basic tutes on setting up stratum-mining or eloipool.

There is a couple of others around as well for other pools.

Did you get the email with the wallet in it when you setup 2 factor ?
or if you have it paired to the iphone app you can still access it from there.

Nope it's any password and username you want the pool software will add it automatically. Like the worker username and password you make for other pools
