[ANN] [PPC] PPCoin Released! - First Long-Term Energy-Efficient Crypto-Currency

[burnside]

How do I get the networkhashps value from ppcoind?  It seems to be missing from getmininginfo.


I pointed ~2,000Mh/s at my ppcoind for ~8 hours and I'm not seeing any blocks generated.  I'm using cpuminer 2.2.1.  Looking at the logs I see the usual:

Sep  4 16:05:52 xxx cpuminer[29178]: thread 11: 17302528 hashes, 3457 khash/s
Sep  4 16:05:52 xxx cpuminer[29178]: thread 9: 13043972 hashes, 2703 khash/s
Sep  4 16:05:52 xxx cpuminer[29178]: thread 7: 13145612 hashes, 2619 khash/s
Sep  4 16:05:53 xxx cpuminer[29178]: thread 0: 20355184 hashes, 4082 khash/s

However I do not see the occasional "yay!" that I think I see when using cpuminer elsewhere.

Any thoughts?  Thanks!

Any ideas for debugging?  My understanding was that mining is supposed to be 100% bitcoin compatible sha256?

Thanks!

[luffy]

well, luck is a bitch
just wait for 24h. it can find all the blocks into 1 hour
unless there is a real problem, don't know

Yeah, without being able to get the networkhash rate, I have no idea what kind of blocks/hr (blocks/day) I should be seeing on 2000 Mh/s.

There's gotta be something I'm missing... ?

Thanks!

I assume you've tripple checked it, but, you're pointing your miners at the right user/password/port of ppcoin not say of a bitcoind running on same machine?

Yeah, good call.  No bitcoind running on the machine though and I did initially have connectivity issues.  Had to open port 9902 on the firewall to get it going, but that was pretty standard stuff.

Taking that a step further, I ran tshark against it:

Code:

tshark -i eth0 -d tcp.port==9902,http -R "http" -z "proto,colinfo,http.content_length,http.content_length" -z "proto,colinfo,http.content_type,http.content_type"

Lots and lots of requests and responses going back and forth as expected.  eg:

 3.882620 1.1.1.1 -> 2.2.2.2 HTTP POST / HTTP/1.1  (application/json)  http.content_type == "application/json"  http.content_length == 45
  3.882911 2.2.2.2 -> 1.1.1.1 HTTP HTTP/1.1 200 OK  (application/json)  http.content_type == "application/json"  http.content_length == 592

Cheers.

I managed to find four blocks in the past 5 days with my piddly 120 MH/s running only parttime (~10hr day), so that should give you some indication.
I think that is actually quite a bit above average, so maybe I just took all your luck.  This is with cgminer btw.

Still trying to figure out why no solved blocks.

Here's my ppcoin.conf... am I missing anything?

Code:

rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=xxx
rpcport=9902
server=1
rpcssl=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=1.1.1.*
gen=0
allowreceivebyip=1

Try adding
daemon=1

I have that in my config...

Thanks for that.  Sadly, no dice.  Still no "yay!" from cpuminer.

What do you mean by a "yay", a connection?

maybe my issue might be my conf file. Here's what I have, am I missing something?

Win7 x64 system by the way

rpcuser=juggalodarkclow
rpcpassword=xxxx
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9902
gen=1

[burnside]

Thanks for that.  Sadly, no dice.  Still no "yay!" from cpuminer.

What do you mean by a "yay", a connection?

cpuminer gives a yay! every once in a while when shares are successfully submitted.

He probably means, "yay! block found!"
I would be surprised if he mined a block so quickly, but it did happen to me once.

Eh, 18 hrs, 2,000 Mh/s

Code:

# ppcoind getbalance
0.00000000

Yeah... "quickly".

[burnside]

It occurred to me, maybe the "yay!" is a longpolling message of some kind?

I just got used to seeing them with btc and ltc and I'm not seeing them with ppc.

Well balance only shows blocks that are 520 blocks old or older, do ppcoind getinfo and see if there is anything newmint?

Appreciate the assist!  Any other ideas?  I'm wondering if maybe I should try an older version of ppcoind?
