I semi-disagree with the proposal.
 You have quite the list there such has French translations, and the ability for internationalisation for others to input there translations, again IMO I think that someone must know another language to effectively implement this. Everything else I agree with as it looks like the standard Pool admin page should look like

This install guide will assist you with installing Pushpool 5.1 please give me a break and help me out as I'll be typeing as I'm working through it so I'll deffinatly forget somthings Thanks for the help mates!

Also pushpool is just a back-end if you would like to operate a pool like deepbit.net you need frontend software which would require a Virtual Hosting Service(VPS) or a Dedicated Server. A front-end does all the pay-outs, user/worker management, and stats if you don't feel like developing your own software you can build off of already made front-ends such as
Mining Farm which can get you up and running with in a couple of minutes provided that you have full root access to your server with Apache2 and PHP installed along with basic knowledge of setup Cronjobs or Crontabs.

First off your going to want to download the latest pushpool version (offical updated download page: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8707.0;topicseen)
http://yyz.us/bitcoin/pushpool-0.5.1.tar.gz
and click "Downloads" then make sure you get the one that says Download .tar.gz

Before we start we are going to do a update for the system packages right now

Once you extract the downloaded pushpool.tar.gz file on to your server your going to first want to run ./autogen.sh


On my fresh Ububntu server install right off the bat I had an Aclocal type error in which my case I had to install Automake to get past it

Okay if you got the aclocal/automake error you should now run ./autogen.sh once more and it should spit out some files such as ./configure file
Next were going to attempt to run the configure file

I was then presented with another problem that looks like this
Which meant no compiler was installed so i went with this command to get a compatible compiler installed

Now lets run configure again

My system stopped the configure after finding out there is no libevent which the error looked like this

If your receiving the same error do the following

Libevent install instructions
Get libevent source code

Next extract the source code where you would like, for simplicity I extracted inside of the pushpool source code files

now we change into the libevent directory so we can install libevent

now we are going to ./configure libevent

if you got no errors do the following

Those command should output something like this

now we have libevent installed(if you received no errors that is)!

Now lets change back into the pushpoold install directory were we first started off in this tutorials case
we are going to do cd ..


Now we should be in the pushpool installer, lets try to configure again!

So it looks like in a fresh Ubuntu server we need to install Zlib which should be an easy package get so lets retrieve the latest source code by getting doing this

Then were going to extract the file


Now were going to cd into zlib

---

BREAK TIME!

---

Now lets compile this baby!

 You should have gotton no errors lets continue on to our pushpool installation

Move to your pushpool install file directory in this tutorials case it is just simply


Lets try another configure on pushpool again

I'm now getting a Jansson error when configuring that looks like this

So now lets get the jansson source code (Offical website: http://www.digip.org/jansson/);


Do extraction like usual

Move into directory like normal

Now lets do some compiling!
this should output a bunch of lines and should finish with the following messages

If so we are on the right track and almost finished with installing *Wipes sweat*

Now lets do the installing part for jansson

Which should out put something like this

If yours looks similar we are straight planking at this point... lol jk nobody planks any more that was so 2010, moving on....


Anyways we now have Jansson installed so lets move back to our pushpool installing directory in our case we just do a simple

Now lets see if pushpool has anything to say this time

Yep it looks like for me OpenSSL wasn't installed
lets install it by running


Now we got OpenSSL installed for sure we should try doing ./configure again

So pushpool is still pissed and it needs the support of libmemcached library (offical website: https://launchpad.net/libmemcached/+download)
so lets install it

first we need to install memcached which is what libmemcached relies on
so lets do a quick
and we need libtool aparently

next we get the source

extract the source into folders

move into the new directory

configure
Which should look like this if done correctly

Now make install

which should look like this at the end of the output if done correctly

So now lets go back to pushpool and see what it wants to b*tch about this time...


Oh great... another error

so it looks like i don't have any database development files installed becuase i got the end output that looks like this

so I'm going to pick mysql databse as our choice for install you can install any database you want here, it just must be compatible with pushpoold and you must install the required dev files for that database system such as SQLite or postql but i picked MySql becuase I like it.

---

---

And back to pushpool installer... so now we should definably be able to run ./configure

it should out put something like this

Which means we can go ahead and do a

which the last lines of the output will look like this

This means that it worked!!! but theres still more to be done..... OH Linux! I <3 U!


Okay first thing we want to do is move into the directory that we set the --prefix= variable to which in our case was "/home/pushpoolInstaller/"

So there should be a pushpool file that we could run like this

Which should have returned the following error message..

So lets create that server.json file which by the way if your having issues with the server.json file configuration or setup please go to the following thread for json support: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=26504.0

server.json configuration file

Okay so now that we saved our server.json file in the same folder as puspoold we can now run pushpoold again in Debug mode and see what it says this time

It should output somthing like this

If it ends with initialized 99% of the time your golden and that its is fully operational in the sense that "It connected to bitcoind, It connected to a database set in the json file, and that its got all the permissions it needs"
So go ahead and point your miner to the port number you specified in the server.json file where the line that says this

Now all you need is a front-end which will manage all your miners stats, work load, efficiency, overview look of the entire pool, how many and which blocks were found and confirmed as well as invalid blocks, if you said yes to one or all of those, you can download commerical software that usually goes for $100-$300 a license OR you can get for free working and safe condition over at the official Mining Farm thread

Brought to you by Cheaper In Bitcoins.com

I realise that sendtoaddress() rounds to the nearest 0.01 but I'm doing some quick messing around and Im sending low amounts to myself using bitcoin-php no matter the transaction after I send the funds to my self it will be 0.01 Bitcent total. What happens to that bitcent? Bitcoin transaction fee is set to 0.00 even tho I'm actually running bitcoind when testing the software.
Suggestions are helpful

Can I use this in my front-end for pushpool?

Tell me boot it, I think I might have to ditch using a scoring method until the next version. Shares are so much less stressful way of calculating payout.
Thanks for the blkmond link too!

Just a preview. Please show your screen shots of your progress, for inspirational purposes
It's not written in OOP. I'll release version 2 with OOProgramming so people can create Modules easier to their liking.

I like the idea of someone holding the bitcoins in escrow is a reputable bitcoiner.

You sound like you know what your doing may be we can collaborate as I'm having troubles finishing my PHP front-end to Pushpool such as,
* How can you alert the system that a block has been found? (So the balance can be distributed).
* Every block solved needs 120 confirms before they can be sent out, how do you go about tracking how many confirmations there is for the reward.
-My front end is programmed in PHP-MySql-Apache2
I'm using bitcoin-php. Any ideas?

After 18hours of attempting to get pushpool working ive ran into just about everyproblem. Ill be writing an install guide right after i finish the front end interface for pushpool.

Any one know why when i enable sharelog:true, that it would send the shares as questions marks.

Heres mysql query: "stmt.sharelog":"INSERT INTO shares (rem_host, username, our_result, upstream_result, reason, solution) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"

Thanks, I got it running. The only problem is when anyone try's to connect it comes up as Wrong Username & Password so I started trollin the IRC chat all day trying to convince anyone that i am typing in the wrong username and password. So it obviously isn't the wrong username and password if i copy and paste. It was a simple username and password like --user=a --pass=b that was it, theres no way you can type that in wrong.

 Any suggestions as to why my miner is having trouble connecting even tho pushpool will report "[382983464] Initialized"?

So I guess i was using the git file and not the tarball so i got the tarball and now im experiencing this error after executing "make install"

[/quote]

Yes Jannson ./configure;make;make check; make install flawlessly

This is the error i got when i ran "Make" after downloading the Master pool.

I manually installed jannson-2.0.1

Any suggestions?

You look like the same size as me, what size are you wearing? This is an awsome T-Shirt BTW, How do you know what address your sending "from"?

(Still editing... Calculating Hash rates, and over all BTC calculation)

Your money will purchase everything necessary to purchase low-power consumption computer parts such as Motherboard, Ram, FlashDrive(as HDD) for graphics cards and Power Supply which every computer that is able to be purchased will be constructed and begin to mine and the contract will last for 3.5 months after that which point you will be asked to invest in the parts needed to upgrade to a reliable hashing level if you choose to not participate with the rest of the investors in upgrading the hardware your contract will be terminated and you will no longer have Bitcoins deposited to your account.

I've figured out after 3.5 months the initial mining rig will become unprofitable below is some data that is to be considered more like a guide then actual results due to the fact that the difficulty rate change fluctuates but this is just an estimate you can except, I averaged out both the worst case and the best case scenario to get a guided estimate of the expected results.

Cost of Electricity: $0.15 Kw/h (Its really .10 but just for the sake of worst case scenario)
------------------------------------------
current difficulty = amount of time in mining = $USD

Worst Case Senario(Increments of 400,000 difficulty)
-------------------------------
244139   = 2 weeks = $676.76
644139 = 4 weeks = $256
1044139 = 6 weeks = $158
1444139 = 8 weeks = $114.4
1844139 = 10 weeks = $89.6
2244139 = 12 weeks = $72.36
2644139 = 14 weeks = $31.24

Overal of 3.5 Months;
Total Output: $1,398.36
Total output w\ electricity cost: $1,398.36 - $378 = $1020.36;





Best Case Senario(Increments of 100,000 difficulty)
---------------------------------
244139   = 2 weeks = $676.76
344139 = 4 weeks = $477.48
444139 = 6 weeks = $369.96
544139 = 8 weeks = $301.64
644139 = 10 weeks = $256.5
744139 = 12 weeks = $222.04
844139 = 14 weeks = $195.74

Overall of 3.5 months:
Total Output: $2,496
Total output w\ electricity cost: $2496 - $378 = $2118

Expected total profit to be divided among the share holders after 3.5month contract

After electricity: $2079.36
After cost of initial hardware: $1579 (net profit)

Total Net Profit to be divided: $1579

What it will be like if you invest after the 3.5 month contract

After the 3.5 months I will look online for new VideoCard hardware to propose to investors that we can all agree on to get higher hashrates. At which point it will be cheaper to invest in a video card since the basic essential of computer hardware is already there.

That law would be soo vague that any drug,rape,violent anonymous network would be allowed by law just because its anonymous. I leave you with this youtube reference as an odd way to prove my point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXLkQVcpjmY

It was a mistake on my part according to MtGox, they never issued that address which is why I came here in the first place. I don't know why everyone assumes "Claims" means "I haven't received an answer from MtGox support yet". I still believe that it was the correct address and some glitch in their system, I copy and pasted that hash and compared them next to each other in both the browser window and the BitCoin window. Any who, I'm actively trading BTC for money and vice-verse with no problem after that mishap

Bump, Did this thread die? Wheres all the Bitcoin Patrons att?

Don't mean to double post but i recorded another transaction we'll see how this one plays out; Stay Tuned

*Update: well It's rare that I make a fuss about something and be wrong about it but my 2nd transaction went through, who ever got my 5BTC have fun with it because it was a weeks worth of mining and it was supposed to go to an upgrade GPU so I can pay off some fines I owe. Sorry MtGox.

Yes i still have the address and I took your advice to check the block explorer with the hash and it came up with this page: http://blockexplorer.com/address/14CkVyqL89K8um1ht7ARjtndpYF1B8B9xx what does it all mean tho?

How do I check what address has been setup to me in the MtGox website? It's all one click your there I didn't think there was such a section. If you ment did i check to make sure the address supplied was indeed the address supplied, the answer is yes i always double check to make sure they match as i don't like getting a whole weeks worth of bit coins wasted.


*On a side note what I noticed the instant i sent it i was charged with a 1.01BTC charge after the 5.01BTC was charged, odd huh?

Does this seem likely that its was MtGox fault at issuing BitCoin Addresses, or maybe I just accidently copy and pasted the wrong address or the like?

You can find all the details over at this page http://www.biddingpond.com/item.php?id=646
and can purchase it from me for 14BTC

Thanks Mates!
