Need p2pool for BitBar. Any p2pool gods??

[j980]

I think you're right about that, and I think I know how to fix it.  I'm working on that now.

Until then, I will suspend the pool so as not to waste any power.

[j980]

Pool restarted.

So, I was thinking the fact that the blocks didn't seem to get through to the network might be because I was having the p2pool communicate with the Qt client, rather than using a proper bitbard.

So, I have now compiled the bitbard, and I'm using p2pool to connect to bitbard there.

I hope this works better.

Excellent. My room went silent for a few minutes as the pool lost connection and I lay with my laptop in bed, a nice change; and now that humming has returned as you restarted it.

Ok, great.  I hope this does what it should, but I'm still wondering about some of the other parameters....

Code:

P2P_PREFIX='cdf2c0ef'.decode('hex'),

This should be changed also. And don't forget about subsidy function.

To what?  Is changing this important when there is only one P2Pool Node?

How about the symbol parameter? (NVC in the original)

How do you suggest to adjust the subsidy function?

Thanks for your input so far.

block found let's see if it pays this time

Block not found (code -5)

Hmm...

[j980]

Doesn't look good.

Possibly this isn't compatible with a P2Pool? I remember PPC having a similar problem, when Sunny announced that it simply doesn't support P2Pool.

Then who the hell's mining 2 blocks every minute?

Could be.  Even though we did start off from PPC-style compatible code, there could still be some other issues.

The other guy who cloned my code has the same issue, so that rules a few things out.

I think the key might be in that PREFIX.  rbdrbd experienced a delay with starting the connection to the BB P2P net, and I think the reason I don't have that is because of a difference in this PREFIX.  Still, my prefix might be wrong resulting in blocks not getting through to the network.

Any other ideas?

I'm really sorry for the people who's hashing power I have wasted with this experiment.

If you appreciate my efforts, please donate some to the guy who pointed a rig at the pool before going to sleep and any others who have wasted a lot in the name of this test.

You mean me right? Yea well, was bad. But you tried your best.

I have been experimenting with my own BitBar p2pool.  If anyone wants to help me test it, please use

Address = bitbar1.no-ip.biz:8336
User = Your BitBar Address
Pass = x (or anything)
Fee = 1%

Stats at http://bitbar1.no-ip.biz:8336/static

The addresses of two of my cpuminer workers show up correctly.  My other cpuminer worker and cgminer worker don't show up yet.  If you want to try this out, please don't throw all your Thash/s at this at once and please check that you get paid when you want to use it for a longer time.

I'm still trying to get it to work in combination with other p2p pools.  So, any other p2pools ready yet?

I'll point my 1mh/s at it, see what it does, is this auto payment or what? The stat link you stated seems to be broken...
EDIT: It's down or do I have to do some magical stuff for it to mine? I just fill in the needed stuff at GUI-Miner but it doesn't "Mine".

[xwebnetwork]

Don't waste your time. He said it doesn't work, at least not yet.

[kuusj98]

Thats alright, any other BitBar pool around?
I have seen a "how to solo mine" guide but can't seem to find it now... Can anyone post somesort of tutorial on how to do it? Thx... I'll edit when I found it.

[Rawr1337]

Here is another request for a Bitbar pool. Maybe if we have enough of a show of support we can get someone to look at this thread.

[TruCoin]

can you still solo mine after encrypting your bitbar wallet?

Then just replace everything litecoin with bitbar, ie, the litecoin.conf becomes bitbar.conf, etc, etc.

And you don't need these 2 lines in your conf. At least I didn't use them and its working fine.
