Just wanted to update the thread, I bought one PSU from Amazingrando for 38 BTC and it arrived already - solid transaction

I bought another one too that is supposed to arrive today i will update the thread with that information later

Don't have a problem with Namecoin, when they officially released Bitcoind 0.50 and I changed over to that the segmentation faults stopped


What patches are you using on the ArtForz fork?

Davinci: what Namecoind did you end up using for your merged mining pool?

I would talk to Shads the devloper of PoolserverJ about this, I am sure he could give you some really good information

from my limited understanding I believe it creates a sort of virtual chain (bitcoin-mm) comprised of work from the parent and child chains at a user defined ratio - the proof of work is submitted to this "virtual" chain and thus both the parent and the child

as long as they are compatible with merged mining it does not matter which one is the parent and which one is the child

Markm, I am the admin of devtome, let me check it out, I know it was sending out confirmation emails before because I tested it

I will let you know...

I think he's busy with real life, he hasnt responded to my PM's last time online was 2 days ago...

haha you got that right

I live in upstate NY, Saranac is the best! It wouldn't be Christmas without the 12 beers of winter!

I was cleaning up my office today and thought I would take a pic of my boxes (yes some of them are beer boxes)

Now I am curious who has the sexiest box porn to offer?

post pics here!!!

just to clarify..

I understood this to be true as well, we were all told vinced was merged mining compatible however myself and a few other pool operators have had zero luck getting vinced namecoind to mine any blocks at all in merged mining not even on testnet

I can speak from experience that I have used ArtForz namecoind and it works with merged mining, I have personally merged mined Bitcoin and Namecoin blocks on my own pool with his daemon...

go to where the daemons are

to check to see if you have solved any blocks

do

./bitcoind listtransactions

./namecoind listtransactions


you can also open back up the screens by doing

screen -r

and then putting the number of the screen

like screen -r 31114

or whatever when you do screen -r it will give you some numbers to chose from

remember to always exit out of a screen by doing control A+D

to put it back in the background

when you find the screen for PoolServerJ you will see it submitting shares and syncing with both the bitcoin and namecoin networks on the console

thank you for the tip

yes it will mine namecoin and bitcoin as long as you used ArtForz fork of namecoind which if you used the binary i provided it is the right one.

As far as I know the same setup my tutorial instructs on is being used by yourbtc.net and at least one other public merge mining pool

to view the shares you just click 'shares' in phpmyadmin

it should be fixed now, go ahead and try it

you know what you did wrong?

you named your database pool instead of poolserverj.native like it said to in the tutorial

because if you rename the database you have to change it in the conf

let me know how it works out!!!

someone needs to patch the daemon in order to make it accept the merged mining, follow what ArtForz did for his namecoind fork that will give you a good idea

yeah there is some display bug I need to work out but they are being calculated correctly

As far as merged mining compatible, the pool is ready to go as soon as the daemon is, in fact I have a namecoind and bitcoind already running.

Our pool will be merged mining within seconds of the daemon being patched compatible

there is a 120 BTC bounty for the coder who patches devcoind to be merged mining compatible so far I have not seen a lot of progress...

what command did you use to create the database?

what is the database called them if its not poolserverj_native?

if you did this correctly


you would have created the database poolserverj_native

email me your poolserverj.config

and I will take a look at it for you

btw I compiled cgminer for you if you want to use it for testing

wget http://cablepair.devcoin.org/cgminer

just make sure you chmod +x cgminer before you try to run it

did you make it executable by doing chmod +x cgminer-cpuonly ?

if still still does not work you need a 32 bit binary
or to compile your own

I cant do anything tonight but I can help you with it tomorrow, in fact for a very reasonable fee I would be willing to ssh into your server and fix whatever is wrong with it

let me know tomorrow
got to go
-cp

lol sorry (cut/paste mistake)

no prob

try


then try

let me know

I would try mining first from the local machine , get cgminer and put it on the local linux box

user ./cgminer-cpuonly -o http://127.0.0.1:8999 -u user -p pass

find out if its a network problem or a pool problem

let me know what happens and we can go from there.

The error in phpmyadmin was because you did not enter an ID # but its ok, it puts one in for you - no big deal and it will still work

checking this out now to make sure thank you for pointing it out
