bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[Clipse]

...and I answered.

I am tempted to take a screenshot of the paltry sums I get from Slush each round to post there, but I don't want to risk getting banned if Slush doesn't take well to his pool being hopped.

Yeh its all just for fun, we are making nothing. ahem shhhh

Haha.  Don't get me wrong, I am definitely coming out ahead, but compared to the prop pools I am making MUCH less from Slush.  Pretty much over 200% efficiency at most prop pools while slush is around 130%.

Does bitHopper have xpath support for scraping? It's more reliable when you write very good xpaths that don't break when webmaster changes <b> to <div> or whatever

If anyone pulled from the github and are gettings error 24, this is what it needs to be changed to:
api_key: <br/>Round Shares:([ 0-9]+)<br/>

Tried pushing but of course it doesn't work.

What pool is this?

[Clipse]

looks like digbtc regex code

[Starlightbreaker]

deepbit broken with the updated pool.cfg & user.cfg?

can't seem to hop there as backup more than 15 seconds..it hops out to eligius.
i wrote all the necessary info on both files.

hmm.

Bloody's pool just powered through a block.  2,854,411 shares in 426 hours.

Code:

[bloodys]
name: bloodys
mine_address:pool.bloodys.com:8332
api_address:http://pool.bloodys.com/?action=statistics
role:mine
api_method:re
api_key:([0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*) Shares
api_strip:','
user:thank
pass:you

The api key doesn't seem to work.

[joulesbeef]

The api key doesn't seem to work.

looks to be working here

though i wish more of you would hop there.. gonna take forever to get to 43%

[djex]

Hmm keeps giving me api error with it. I'll hop in if I can get it working. =\

[Endeavour79]

Can you please fix the crash when internet connection drops suddenly.. Bithopper crashes when there is no connection available.

[joulesbeef]

Hmm keeps giving me api error with it. I'll hop in if I can get it working. =\

using c00ws? is your version very old?

I'm using the newest c00w release from the git. hmm. This is odd.

Edit: Got it working, named it wrong in the user.cfg -_-'

PEBKAC is our most common bug here, I get it all the time as well.

For all like me who need to look it up

Hi guys i have bitHopper working okay but the pool config has me confused.

I prefer faster pools and do I need many pools or just a few what is best.

--Thanks

If you are using the latest version of c00ws bitHopper then you do not need to edit the pool.cfg only the user.cfg. Generally it's best to have as many pools as possible that will work and be most efficient. The pools I have mining are:

BTCPool24
bitcoinmoney.com
bitminersunion
mtred
ozco.in
polmine.pl
rfcpool
triplemining
bloodyspool

and for backup pools I currently use:

arsbitcoin
ninjacoin.com

Also there is plenty of information in this 101 page thread to answer just about any question you have.

well in my book the more you mine the "backup" sites the less you are hopping... the less benefits you get from hopping as all those shares are generally worth 1.


But I do see the problem with just me hopping on some of these micro sites.. like dig bitcoin has 9ghz.. so they should average a block every 9 days.. which means I'll be mining there for 4 days to get to 43%

seems like that would screw with my hopping potential as well or at least my variance.

This is the problem I have at the moment. I found that you need to closely monitor the pools and switch from micro pools to larger pool if one becomes available then back to micro pool or let it go to backup. Also any thing under 20 Ghash/s I don't mine on since it will only take ages to find a block like you said.

this is the benefit of the ryouiki fork. I really wish these code bases would come back together. if you are on hoppersden, take a look at the simulation output from ryouiki. all props to c00w for creating the base but I've used the ryo fork since it first appeared (with a day or so of a recent c00w release) and I'm very pleased with it. Different strokes for different folks, though. But if you identify with these recent comments, check out ryouiki's fork.
