bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[simonk83]

Let me just make sure I'm reading this right.  I should basically be enabling ALL the backup pools and setting them all to backup_latehop?

not all, only the backup pools you use

Ok, even the PPS ones?   

As far as the slicing goes, I've disabled BTCPool24 and it's now just been stuck on MtRed for 15 mins or so.  I don't think it's working

PPS pool should be used as backup always, you're stuck on mt.red if is the only prop pool available, seems to be working allright

Bloody's is available (28%) but it's just sticking to MtRed.

Same here.

Edit: Just switched to ed64's fork. Working good so far.

[joulesbeef]

wait when was "backup_latehop" added.. what does it do versus backup? just makes sure you dont use the percents? is this c00ws or ed64? what

c00w's (well, both I guess).

In the user.cfg.default it says:

#backup_latehop = prefers this for backup if PPS pool
 has high share count, recommended for all backups

[simonk83]

Ok, so now I'm trying ed64's and the slicing is working.

However, Slush is being ignored now  They just reset to zero and I'm sitting on MtRed.

Wooooah.  Just got a massive list of errors and it crapped out.  Didn't get a chance to save the error unfortunately.   Back to c00w's methinks...

I'm using ed's and it's been working great for about 45 min now. You have the latest?

[simonk83]

Ugh, I'm considering giving up on this.

MtRed just started a new block.   Bithopper refuses to move to it, instead preferring to stay on bloody's.   So, I've gone into user.cfg and disabled bloody's.  Restarted bithopper, and yep, it's connected to bloody's.



It's all a bit hard right now.

Yeah I feel ya. The amount of rage and frustration that ensues after multiple tries is enough to give up. Ed's is working well for me right now so I'm going to leave that until c00w gets all the bugs worked out

Also will backup_latehop work for SMPPS and PPLNS pools?

[joulesbeef]

eds seems to have an issue jumping to the backups.. rather than leaving them be until all under 43% pools are satisfied. even with back_latehop for mine role

slice info disappeared and hasnt been back in a long while

[Clipse]

Ed, the scheduler option for RoundTimeDynamicPenaltyScheduler  , does that actually work?

I get the following error when I try to use that:

Code:

[03:08:31] Selecting scheduler: RoundTimeDynamicPenaltyScheduler
[03:08:31] FATAL Error, scheduler did not return any pool!

[Endeavour79]

I am still at the old version without the slice things..This seems pretty stable..

What is the status of the new version? Is it stable and should I update or just wait a bit more?
What is the idea of the slice things and is there any benefit?

better stay with that atm , having issues with the new one
the benefit would be getting a "slice" of the pie on every available pool, do some numbers

I think it works, just like mine_charity mine_friendly does for prop. but for this one you're actually being paid

Ok but I was wondering if Ed actually worked on it, since I am refering to his fork.

My guess is its just a placeholder still, hopefully not for long

Stay on the old version.

The reason you want to do the slicing thing if possible is that say MtRed finds a block and then almost immediately afterward bitclockers finds a block.  Bithopper will switch to bitclockers and you will miss out on MtRed completely.  If MtRed has a fast round, then you just missed out on a massive payday.  With slicing, you will mine bitclockers for a bit, switch to MtRed for a bit, then switch back to bitclockers, etc, etc, etc.  So if one of the two has a fast round you are sure to catch it with at least some shares. 

At least this is my interpretation of it.  Doesn't seem to be working in any of the new versions I have tested though.

Allright I need to throw a noob curveball question.

Ive only now started to test out newer c00w/ed stats page version and wondered what is the user / shares displayed at the bottom left of the stats page or atleast whats the purpose of that.

You and me both.
