I have some troubles with some wallets, compiling on a Ubuntu 14.04 machine:

alphacoin
The link to download a compiled version is not valid anymore, not for Windows nor for Linux. I tried to use qmake/make:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -loleaut32
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [alphacoin-qt] Error 1



noblecoin
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_system-mgw46-mt-1_54
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_filesystem-mgw46-mt-1_54
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options-mgw46-mt-1_54
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-mgw46-mt-1_54
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [noblecoin-qt] Error 1



Krugercoin does sync, but will never finish. The bar at the bottom ends, but the sync still remains.


How can I solve these three problems?

I have setup NOMP and it is running. Still there are a couple of questions, which I am not sure or fail to do.

1. I have setup for two coin daemons blocknotify.
So far I do not see any possible usefulness of doing that. In fact it just bothers me to see lines on my screen telling me that it has NOT found a block:

sh: 1: /bin/blocknotify 127.0.0.1:17117 einsteinium 649fcbdba95bbeaf8f8693616893723e79687bfafbef7009d21899fcb1fd2c62: not found
sh: 1: /bin/blocknotify 127.0.0.1:17117 42 d6abec322a7d8cbe6c1f5c3b90fae7eb101843612c3f4b96595e2bbd0fa0134b: not found
sh: 1: /bin/blocknotify 127.0.0.1:17117 einsteinium bcada6ad3a4b35dc13e81af021b34833b792b4e8d44a54c1bfe2c61b5d38be6c: not found
sh: 1: /bin/blocknotify 127.0.0.1:17117 42 0a948ea648760a00ef4f1ececeb61d3dcd117b918bb5674c23321b7c9f2c7405: not found

Is there a way to direct this to a blocknotify.log file instead. If I want to know it, I would look up there.




2. A pool config file starts with:

{
    "enabled": true,
    "coin": "litecoin.json",

    "address": "LeJZH5ZpD2F9o3FLEj7WpBodkW5x3wAZ6U",

    "rewardRecipients": {
        "f720e6b8d6dd0572bd33781bcb64220eac57cb44": 0.9,
        "22851477d63a085dbc2398c8430af1c09e7343f6": 0.1
    },

The "address" I got with:
litecoind getaccountaddress ""
LeJZH5ZpD2F9o3FLEj7WpBodkW5x3wAZ6U

Do I need to know the private key? If so, how to get?

Is it OK to use a key instead of a litecoin address for the rewardRecipients?




3. How can I retrieve the PUBLIC address of a miner, who is mining with a key?
The idea is to get a page up showing for a miner all his balances in all currencies.



4. backup daemon
I copy ~/.litecoin/litecoin.conf into ~/.litecoin/backup/litecoin.conf
litecoin.conf looks like:
server=1
gen=0
rpcport=9332
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=lite_user
rpcpassword=xxxxxx

What do I need to change for the file backup/litecoin.conf ?

Is it correct to start then the litecoin daemon with:
litecoind -daemon -datadir=/backup

"at least one backup daemon" - how would I setup a second backup daemon???

In pool_configs/litecoin.json I would add in the "daemons" the second daemon:
    "daemons": [
        {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 9332,
            "user": "lite_user",
            "password": "xxxxxx"
        },
        {
            "host": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 29332,
            "user": "lite_user2",
            "password": "xxxxxx2"
        }
    ],

(depending on what I have to set in the backup/litecoin.conf)




5. forever
Do I need forever or forever-monitor or both?
How to setup / use it?



6. IP tables
I am lost what I need to do at a Linux system, to make it automatically.
I understand that it allows me to enable/disable ports to the server.
Some of the ports are coming from a webserver, NOMP web site, NODE irc site, some from the mining ports, ...
What is a good idea to open/close? (I know better close all what you do not need, ...)



7. Website changes
How can I add the information of Profit Result line:
2014-08-22 12:14:21 [Profit]   [RESULT] Best coin for scrypt is fastcoin on Cryptsy with 0.00055581 BTC/day per Mh/s

There is also an error not showing the port for auto-switching.
Does anybody have an idea how to fix it, or how to circumvent it hard coded?


... please jump in where you can add/clarify.

I am trying to use autoswitching!

Node shows me that it wants to use another coin, but then says it is not authorized.

2014-08-14 13:30:21 [Switching] [Connect] (Thread 1) Connection to switch2 from 1.2.3.4 on 4444 routing to bottlecaps
2014-08-14 13:30:21 [Pool]      [bottlecaps] (Thread 1) Unauthorized  LeJZH5ZpD2F9o3FLEj7WpBodkW5x3wAZ6U:x [1.2.3.4]

I miss a link in my thinking ;-)

If I mine LTC    I use a LTC address   in my miner.  Pointing to the LTC port and it works fine.
If I mine xxx    I use a xxx address  in my miner. Pointing to the xxx port and it works fine.

If I use autoswitching with the LTC address it works till it wants to switch, then I get above quote.

How would I need to use it?

Please guide me to the right place, if that is not the one ;-)


I want to setup a mining pool with MPOS. On my testing machine (Ubuntu 13.10, now upgraded to 14.04) it seems to work, but I want to improve.

I use just the standard MPOS setup. I understand that for each coin I have to go through most of the same setup procedure.
Are there any recommendations how to secure the pool server?

I did not find how to add autoswitching to it. Is it "just" a port forwarding, or is it more?

I also want to know how to add autotrading to it. Did not find any script for that.

Finally I want to go live with that pool on a bigger machine.
Is it good to use a cloud computer? If so, what would I need to choose? What would be the estimated cost? Does anybody use Amazon cloud or another cloud and has some cost experiences?

If somebody is at the same stage and want to team up, please lets combine effort. Share experiences in setting up for different coins.

bye
