bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

I get the exact same error when I close the program with ctrl + c. I should write in a check. Did you get that error without closing the program?

Yes I did. All errors I've gotten are when bitHopper is running for about 3 - 4 min. I also got another error that looked to have database column and row data in it so I deleted the database file and still got the same error. I then tried to restart and try again and after about 3 min I got that error on page 109. I wasn't able to capture the first error thought because xorg froze on me. I just got home so I'm going to try and delete everything and start fresh. I'll post on how I make out with it all when I'm done.

But, since I couldn't help you with that, re-add bitcoinpool.com

Here's why:
After looking at my account settings I realized that if you donate 1% or more to the pool they will not implement any anti-hopping measures on your account.  I think that's a good system and we should look into making similar arrangements with other pools.  I'd be willing to donate up to 5% at some pools, to be able to hop freely.  The pool can keep it or redistribute it to their full time miners.  Just a thought....

bitcoinpool cuts your reward in half if you have been in the round for less the 50% of its duration, setting a donation does not stop this. the pool op takes the 50% they remove as a fee for being a hopper/par-timer/<insert favorite stereotype here>. I will no longer be donating to this pool as a result of this.

"you will find that donating any percentage of your earnings (setting is in your account profile), you are omitted from being flagged as a pool hopper"

What am I missing?

Getting the same in my console. Everything else is working though, just the strange output.

Ok just tried after a fresh download and setup and still get errors. From the errors it looks like bithopper is conflicting with poclbm threading or port/connection used.

When the errors happen poclbm and bithopper error at the same time. These are the errors:

poclbm:

I reverted back to a previous version for now.

hmm you actually seem to be correct. though I would still lke more clarification.

I did think I had read that somewhere. So I went looking for confirmation before making the post. I looked in the FAQ, by the donation drop down, the front page of the blog articles because the archive button didn't work, and then read this entire post. Butsaw no mention of donations opting you out from anti-pool hopping detection.
So if there could be a blurb added to some location that's on the same page as other anti-pool hopping information I think that would help useablity a little.

I'm glad you have this system in place,and I'll go along my merry mining way, and try not to ask for features that already exist again.

It's right above the drop-down box on the account page. It displays when you have no donation set.

and he is the site owner.


edit: i'm back on the pool, and yeah in the user section it says right above the donation button that hopper protects go away for a donation.. not sure about their various user bans for not mining for any reasonable length of time.. but I'll see.. I'm donating 1% and if any site doesnt want to screw with us, i'd be willing to give them 1% as well

i do see posts of people still [getting banned with a donation set for being idle](http://www.bitcoinpool.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=166&p=3466&hilit=donation#p3466)

@djex
Thats actually more longpoll crashing. Latest version has that fixed. We will see what else comes up.

[joulesbeef]

just updated.. i get this...

@beef
So did I and the fix is already up.

[joulesbeef]

you too quick.. all is good here now

[nob]

I'm getting alot "miner is idle" erros from my workers, since the "lp update" from you c00w

I tested phoenix 1.5 and poclbm, aswell phoenix with askrate 2 and default. Everytime the same ~10-20% "out of work" (poclbm droped von average 306 to 270 mHashs)

BitHopper is spamming "getwork" requests:

The Problem is not only bitcoin.cz related it happens with all the others pools,too.

[c00w]

Hmmm. Are you running with the slice scheduler?

[djex]

I'm getting alot "miner is idle" erros from my workers, since the "lp update" from you c00w

I can confirm this as well. Getting more since LP updates. Also not running slice scheduler, would this be the problem?

[nob]

i'm not running slice schedular, will use it now

[joulesbeef]

I've gotten 1 idle error in 30 minutes..and i was mining bitclockers at the time.. so cant really say it was the hopper.
and yeah I am using slicing. ! seems fine to me in the time but I'll keep an eye on it.

I have been getting this for a while.. mean anything? seems to only happen when i start mining... and not every time.

[c00w]

It looks like LP is returning the wrong thing.. I'll take a look.

EDIT: Fixed. And all of those errors were from the threads handling getwork dieing silently... Have I mentioned all miners seem to be worthless?

EDIT: Its actually still broken I think... But we'll see.
