Need help editing the p2pool code to add support for mincoin and bbqcoin

[blastbob]

Hey diggers.

Got a code that got a modified bytecoin part. Would be nice to had bbqcoin and mincoin added also.

Anyone got the skill to do the changes?

Code can be found here
https://github.com/chrda/p2pool

Main files that need to get edited:
https://github.com/chrda/p2pool/blob/master/p2pool/networks.py
https://github.com/chrda/p2pool/blob/master/p2pool/bitcoin/networks.py

I will setup seed nodes when the code works for each coin. It will also be for public use.

Great success

Bump

Any success with this? Very intrigued about BQC on p2pool!

I'm gonna have a go at this now.

His code is here but it doesn't have bbqcoin

Thanks that is a little better than what i have.

I'm trying to figure out what  P2P_PREFIX='fbc0b6db'.decode('hex'),
should be for bbqcoin

[blastbob]

Just change a few of the letter or numbers, its not for connection to bbq but between p2pools

[caish5]

Thanks Blastbob
any idea why it hangs like so?

If there are any p2pool gurus lurking this is my /p2pool/bitcoin/networks.py

Code:

litecoin=math.Object(
        P2P_PREFIX='ba5e0b6d'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=59333,
        ADDRESS_VERSION=85,
        RPC_PORT=59332,
        RPC_CHECK=defer.inlineCallbacks(lambda bitcoind: defer.returnValue(
            'bbqcoinaddress' in (yield bitcoind.rpc_help()) and
            not (yield bitcoind.rpc_getinfo())['testnet']
        )),

        DUMB_SCRYPT_DIFF=2**16,

and this is my /p2pool/networks.py

Code:

I'll give it a try, too when I get home...

for convenience i created a patch so you can apply it much easier!

only one change I would do:

change
litecoin=math.Object to bbqcoin=math.Object

so you can start with --net bbqcoin instead of --net litecoion and it puts it's data in a bbqcoin cir instead of litecoin dir.




My private p2pool is connecting ok, it show about 13MH/s going on in the net, there are a lot of peer connection errors in the log that I am not use to seeing, someone who know a bit more about the logs might want to have a look though them.


Getting more orphans than I did with CHNcoin

Code:

Version: 11.3-14-g2d6a878-dirty

Pool rate: 13.2MH/s (12% DOA+orphan) Share difficulty: 0.0291

Node uptime: 0.026 days Peers: 4 out, 2 in

Local rate: 1.49MH/s (3.4% DOA) Expected time to share: 0.0232 hours

Shares: 18 total (6 orphaned, 0 dead) Efficiency: 75.93%

Current block value: 42 BQC Expected time to block: 0.374 hours

Yeah I had already made those changes so you could call it with -bbqcoin instead in my crappy non working version, I just couldn't sort out what to do for the prefixes, I guess I could have just made up random numbers (didn't realize that part).

Either way I updated my version with these changes using the same prefixes so if you want to build a p2pool it should be fairly easy now if you just pull a copy of my version from github.  My version uses more nodes for bootstrapping.

can you paste some of these error messages? only thing I notice so far is that my node has plenty of IN Peers but nearly no OUT, same on some other nodes I checked

[caish5]

I've setup narken's version for bbqcoin.
It's sort of working but minerd gets all rejected shares.
Also my cgminer (stratum) only shows 1kh/s on my pool stats even though it shows 50kh/s in cgminer.

Anyone have any idea why?
