[ANN] Stratum mining protocol - ASIC ready

[-ck]

Intrinsically stratum is inherently faster and lower overhead than longpoll for both the server and the client. Minerd is fast. Cgminer is fast. Stratum is fast. On the other hand I can't speak for any other implementation at the other end.

zvs, what software is on server side? These late and duplicated notifications looks like bug in server side implementation.

[slush]

I just released Stratum proxy 1.5.0, which fixes many bugs from previous releases. All users are encouraged to update!

First official release of cgminer that supports the new agreed upon resume protocol is out, 2.11.0

Oh, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

I was going to retest it later with minerd running 1 thread and affinity to 1 core with graphic cards at something like 0 intensity to see if that might have been causing it... (minerd wasn't maxed before, but it was still pretty heavy on the cpu)

Oh, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Windows already implemented Stratum protocol? Cool! :-)

[slush]

I just released 1.5.1. It adds just a workaround for RPCminer, which doesn't work with targets produced by Stratum proxy. If you have RPCminer, please test the proxy with --old-target parameter and let me know if it fixed your issues!

I install stratum pool server in my centos6.3 32bit

but what does this meaning?

Code:

Code:

ERROR coinbaser # Coinbase address '16AASBVvTTQYgGZuR81mA43tdKXEixcqs3' is NOT valid

when I use cgminer ,it shows

Code:

No login credentials supplied for pool 0 stratum+tcp://192.168.183.130:8332

This polls the bitcoin and checks for new blocks on the network.

Looks like this address doesn't belong to your instance of bitcoind, right?

Code:

No login credentials supplied for pool 0 stratum+tcp://192.168.183.130:8332

Are you sure the port is OK? From the log above it looks like there's bitcoind sitting on this port.

[cnbtcnews]

I have change the bitcoin address to the server's bitcoind address

but cgminer still don't work.

Code:

No login credentials supplied for pool 0 http://192.168.183.130:3333

here is my config.py

Is their a chance of a feature to be added to status to in user part of how many shares have been mined total for user and paid and brake down...

Also question if share diff is higher do you earn double the amount more rewards

Hello,

We would like to implement Stratum protocol at minelitecoin.com and we are having a little trouble...

We have the server installed, configured and running but when attempting to connect miners we are receiving: "method 'subscribe' not found for service 'mining'"...

Any help would be greatly appreciated as we've spent hours going through Google and spent hours going through thousands of lines of code to try and figure this out to no avail...

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help us out and thank you Slush for putting in the work on the Stratum protocol to begin with...

[c4n10]

Ok, so tried connecting via the mining-proxy protocol and same error, here is the output of the proxy "-v":

http://pastebin.com/iTD5LCXD

[slush]

We have the server installed, configured and running but when attempting to connect miners we are receiving: "method 'subscribe' not found for service 'mining'"...

What did you installed exactly? Looks like you installed Stratum server without mining service. You need this one: https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining

We have installed the server and the mining service, the pastebin output directly above your post is from the mining-proxy output with "-v" flag...

[slush]

Can you pastebin the output from the server log?

Here is the live output:

And here is the log:

Thank you for taking the time to look   =)

As I mentioned above, you're running wrong code. This is not a pool server, it's just a stratum server. Please use launcher_demo.tac from stratum-mining.

Ah, ok... Now I understand... It's confusing because you have a gitorious rep which says the server software is available on github, then on github the repository says to download from gitorious (in README) and on github there's Stratum repository (which SAYS it IS the server), there's stratum-mining repository (which says it is a DEMO implementation of a POOL which is using the stratum server, we already have a pool so when I read that I think, I don't need a DEMO pool implementation, I need the working back-end) and then there's stratum mining-proxy which I was being told from other pool owners like serraz I needed to make it work and none of these reps have instructions/README/INSTALL which is clear on what is needed for which purpose...

So I apologize for my confusion...

So now, I have completely removed all references to stratum from system, re-cloned: https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining

I've edited config.py and launched with DEBUG output...

It's stuck at: waiting for bitcoin_rpc with no useful DEBUG output on the live output or in "stratum.log"

I assume that there are some changes which need to be made to the bitcoin_rpc interface to make it compatible with litecoind, but with no useful DEBUG output to give me errors at specific line numbers inside of specific files/scripts I have no idea what to change...

Any ideas...?

most likely port number

Code:

rpcport=9333

maybe?
