bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[joulesbeef]

Is there a way to simply re-enable bitcoins.lc?

I would look to see how he handled the multiclone situation before re-enabling.

He banned multiclone but decided to keep their coins they generated.

after outcry, he relented but the guy comes off as a real douche.

I can see being annoyed with hoppers, and dont have a problem with the banning, but taking the coins and being a dick about it was wrong.

I dont care if you hop him, just think you should know the kinda guy he is, and just know unlike multiclone, if he bans you and steals your coin, it is hard to have an outcry with only one individual.

I know.  I just feel that the chances of getting banned are slim to none.  he banned multiclone because one account had thousands of connections every second and it was harming the pool.  bithopper doesnt work like that.

On a separate note, what is a better implementation of bithopper.  Running a separate bithopper instance on each machine I am mining in or pointing all my miners on various rigs to one machine running bithopper on my network?

I had python installed already, I installed twisted.. that didn't work.  I installed zope.interface by putting it in "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages" directory...

I am still getting this damn error.  What is the problem and why won't this damn zope.interface install correctly on Win7?

Thank you and please help me.

How I got it working.. I downloaded easy install from here http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe#md5=57e1e64f6b7c7f1d2eddfc9746bbaf20

Then i put the .egg file from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface#download

in the "C:\Python27\Scripts" directory

Then I went to a cmd and went into the "C:\Python27\Scripts" directory and typed  "easy_install.exe zope.interface-3.6.4-py2.7-win32.egg"

And I could run the stuff.

Are you placing the .egg file in that directory?  Thats what I did and I got the same error.  You have to unzip the .egg file and place the contents in that directory, then it works perfectly.  Just open it up with winrar or whatever you use to extract things.

[flower1024]

i made a small linux-vm for this purpose.
works well

(i used debian which is a little tricky when it comes to python 2.6; you could try latest ubuntu)

[flower1024]

why kickout python 2.6?
for me this version works...(debian)

request
can you add the option to put 2/3/4 workers per pool in pwds.py

You could just run more bitHoppers on different ports. How would it know which client is which worker?

[ahitman]

now that nofeemining.com are no longer protecting their stats with a captcha, i decided to add them (i added and defined nofee_user_apikey in passwords.py):

Code:

      'nofee':{'shares': default_shares, 'name': 'nofee',
           'mine_address': 'nofeemining.com:8332', 'user': nofee_user,
           'pass': nofee_pass, 'lag': False, 'LP': None,
           'api_address':'https://www.nofeemining.com/api.php?key=' + nofee_user_apikey, 'role':'mine'}
...

def nofee_sharesResponse(response):
    global servers
    info = json.loads(response)
    round_shares = int(info['poolRoundShares'])
    servers['nofee']['shares'] = round_shares
    bitHopper.log_msg('nofee:' + FormatShares(round_shares))

...

	'nofee':nofee_sharesResponse,

but i get the following error:

Code:

"[Failure instance: Traceback: <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>: No JSON object could be decoded\n/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:1076:gotResult\n/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:1063:_inlineCallbacks\n/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:361:callback\n/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:455:_startRunCallbacks\n--- <exception caught here> ---\n/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py:542:_runCallbacks\n/home/user/bitHopper/pool.py:195:selectsharesResponse\n/home/user/bitHopper/pool.py:169:nofee_sharesResponse\n/usr/lib/python2.6/json/__init__.py:307:loads\n/usr/lib/python2.6/json/decoder.py:319:decode\n/usr/lib/python2.6/json/decoder.py:338:raw_decode\n]"

the api definitely works from curl and wget, and the identifier is 'poolRoundShares'.

no fee mining is a prop pool that proudly proclaim on their website :"no pool hopping protection" !  they want us bad. i like being wanted. So any ideas on a fix?

I'm having the same issues, have you figured this out? Ive on NFM for a while and it looks and sounds decent. If you hit up  https://www.nofeemining.com/api.php you get the pool stats, no API key required. What does No JSON object could be decoded mean? It seems like there is a poolRoundShares item in the response.

BTC Guild is now under a one hour delay for their stats.

From IRC: <@Eleuthria> 1 hour stat delay

Time to look elsewhere, or figure out a way to determine when a new round starts.

Edit: The API is showing fake stats to show 100 round shares and a start time of 1 second. Consequently, 100+ Ghps jumped into the pool. Disable BTC Guild immedietly until a work around is determined, if any is possible.

[joulesbeef]

just FYI you can disable btc guild yourself in pools.py by changing 'mine' to 'info' under the btcg section.

thanks for the heads up

[koopa]

Looks like were down to just three hopable pools + backups now.... 

Methinks we need too look at adding some of the newer pools who really want that extra hash boost...

[muyoso]

bitcoins.lc also does the same thing like BTCguild

I don't think so.  BTC guild spoofs their shares so bithopper would never stop mining at their pool.

Also, is it possible for bithopper to absolutely cripple an internet connection?  I have fiber directly to my house and for the first time in years it was brought to its knees for about 20 minutes today (first day running bithopper).

.... here I have a 3mb adsl and browsing works pretty well on various pc´s while my miners do their stuff

[muyoso]

Seems like bitcoins.lc has a 30 minute delay on reporting a block solved.  Just switched over exactly 30 minutes after they solved a block after mining on a backup pool for the prior 30 minutes.

No luck. Also no luck in getting triplemining up and running either.

Holy shit bitp.it.  I think I love you.

[organofcorti]

btc guild now reporting total shares - only not via the pools stats page. luckily if you want to mine btcg, you can find and use (with some regex) the data here:

http://fasthoop.appspot.com/

edit oooops - now fasthoop no longer has it either. must've just been a delay.

going to be relying on smaller pools now, and tightening up the algo for scoring pools too. I always got better efficiency than 1.0 with slush on multipool. Going to add him here now, see how it goes. I think you have to have smaller acceptable total shares before you hop, but not sure what that figure is. Anyone know?

Thats a pretty awesome page.  Wonder why they see bitcoins.lc as the best pool to mine right now instead of bitp.it, which is where bithopper has me mining.  Bitp.it just gave me my daily quota of BTC on a single 50 minute round, so I am inclined to disagree with that site on that one, lol.

[organofcorti]

yep, not sure how the decision making process works. but the most important bit for us - total round shares - are there. i asked the site operator if he could be bothered adding triplemining and nofeemining and his own json api - would give us an easy way to add those pools that have messy or non json apis.

I would gladly donate to that site if it would enable deepbit support in bithopper.
