Thanks, the biggest hurdle was trying to establish a connection. The windows api sockets didn't want to establish one. But I now know why after reading the APIReadme (you have to tell cgminer to listen). Who would have guessed there would be seperate readme for the API.....daaaaahhh on me.

I will play with this tonight. Thanks Kano / Bigal!!

I didn't even see the API-README because I've been brainwashed for windows for so many years that it didn't register in my small brain of mine that linux doesn't need the .txt on the end. I did find the standard readme though. Got to have atleast one point for reading it first before posting right?

I welcome you to hit me on top of the head with a frying pan and wake me up.


Thanks guys, much appreaciated,
Mark

Had a problem with all versions of CGMiner not enabling the devices (GPUs) from the configuration file. IE
if the config file contains the following

"Device" : "0",
"Device" : "1",
"Device" : "2"

only the last entry GPU 2 would be enabled.
I fixed this by editing the source and adding Device0, Device1......Device7 to the configuration tables.
Now the lines in the config file would look like this

"Device0" : "0",
"Device1" : "1",
"Device2" : "2"

 Works great! All 3 devices are enabled on startup. I know it's not fixes the real issue but more of a patch.
Anyone interested and I can send the changes to you.

Onto a new issue. I want to beable to control remotely what pool is selected. Since I have 9 rigs I want to do this programatically. I am very knowledable of VB and linux, but am new to JSON/RPC. I would like to be able to send such a command via the network interface using RPC via VBA.net. From looking at the cgminer source RPC/JSON commands are accepted through the use of port 4028. What would be the simpliest way to send an RPC packet from VBA.net to switch to pool 2 and viceversa switch to pool 0.

Any help would be appreciated. I have exhausted the third party addons for JSON serialization and RPC protocal and have not come accross a viable solution.

Thanks,
Mark   
 
 

It's too bad it has to come to this. If Clipse had told me that he can't pay all that is owed, but will make good on paying the regular 95% of another pool, I would have continued to work with him. That's how stunned I am about it all.

Danilo. I was a regular miner as well. Didn't ask or want risk. Unfortunately I didn't keep up on bitcointalk nor keep track of my wallet for payments. I was just under the assumption that my wallet was collecting the coin as usual since I was waiting for the price to go up later on. Me bad.

I am owed 530 BTC. If you figure that at a 95% PPS from other pools though then I lost 325 BTC. Which is still way too much.

Where did you get nroelofse@gmail.com? Did Clipse communicate to you through this email at some point. Also is the ip from the email header trace?

I do have pool.bonuspool.co.cc and bonuspool.co.cc ips before they went down if that helps. They are
pool.bonuspool.co.cc = 188.227.173.101 and bonuspool.co.cc = 188.227.173.124.


I am sure the right person could probably contact the data centre that was handling pool.bonuspool.co.cc and get some info.

I vote 2. He seemed honest for the most part up to the pirate dibacle.

Right now I am owed 530 coins. Ouch!! regular miner, non-investor. That was just for the month of September. I definately want to be included in any investigation and definately willing to do what I can to keep this moving foward. 

Just wondering if the update should be posted on the original BonusPool thread for those that do not know this one exist. Just a thought.

Thanks Clipse for the update and keep up the great work!

To others, I had already assumed the payouts would coincide with a normal paydate (why wouldn't it). In this case the 1st Wednesday after Sept. 30th is Oct. 3rd. So no misunderstanding here and makes sense to me aswell.

The stats page a few days ago has started to take a long time to load. 1-2 minutes. Sometimes a refresh is necessary. Anyone else had this issue?

Yeah, I though it was locked at first too, but it eventually moves on.

No offense here. New to bitcoin but not to the technology used for it.

Agreed, got over 6 hrs logged and only 3 posts. Tons of info here.
