What could be more interesting would be to prefetch getworks - so you always already have one available once your miner requests a new one instead of having internet delays at each new request.
I think this is the job of a proper mining client.

I think this is the job of a proper mining client. A mining client is designed to only fetch from one pool. In this case it would be bitHopper. Especially if you want to switch pools fast, you could already fetch a getwork from the pool(s) you want to switch to and then serve this to the miner(s). The miner itself would always just stick to one pool (or maybe failover, like poclbm) unless you build bithopper as an actual plugin/patch for a miner... (which is not even that hard! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ) About that BTCGuild error: 2011-07-14 21:57:37+0200 [HTTPChannel,0,127.0.0.1] RPC request [] submitted to BTC Guild 2011-07-14 21:57:38+0200 [HTTP11ClientProtocol,client] Error in json decoding, Server probably down 2011-07-14 21:57:38+0200 [HTTP11ClientProtocol,client] 2011-07-14 21:57:38+0200 [HTTP11ClientProtocol,client] Server change to ozcoin, telling client with LP not very descriptive unfortunately...

1) Only mining eligius? I disabled bitcoins.lc a while ago because they are banning pool hoppers. Since none of the pools have sharecounts < difficulty * .40 it won't hop to any of them and uses the two backup pools: eligius and arstechnica.

4) High stales with oczo.in? I think oczo.in is getting a little overloaded. Might be our fault
Yep, seems its ozco.in causing those 8-10% stales, new block on btcguild giving me normal ~0.5% stales. I will keep monitoring and see over couple of blocks how stales progress across pools.

Why did you disable bitclockers though?

Well, at least it doesn't seem they have automations in place for banning hoppers... it might be that you triggered something since most likely a few people mined with the default accounts - thus making you look like a botnet. Bitclockers seem very fishy (abnormally "bad luck" with some wild claims their bitcoind is being hacked or something), and they claim to have a different payout system now. Next on the possible features list: logging in on websites + "manually" paying out asap to make sure you don't loose money when/if being banned. Edit: Another possible pool would be x8s.de. Stats are openly available + live --> but only after a login. Edit2: MtRed just found a block - and just take a look at that sudden 100 GH/s hash rate increase! https://mtred.com/site/page/view/about.html

Just a follow up, seems the stales is still the same, it evened out at 10% stales (was ~15% before your last fix) and doesnt seem to be a ozco.in issue. I notice it actually on btcguild aswell with LP still, strange that no one else using bithopper is reporting this, unless they to lazy ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

1) Stale Share? He's talking about stales not rejects. I stopped bitHopper from changing servers with getworks that contain shares. That should help a bit. And fixed a bunch of LP issues. I am still see some artificially high stale share counts. Let me play with it a bit. I don't know where they are coming from currently though.

Rejects = stales , unless I missed some arbitrary details about how these 2 differ.

Oh. Hmmm. My stale shares were quite high. But my rejects are at roughly oh 3.5%. And I'm having some network issues.
I thought most servers would accept stales but mark them as stales for you information.

You just nailed the stale share problem c00w, it´s the DNS servers. I had the google ones (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and changed to my provider dns´s. Stale shares 5% from 25% in one hour, you rock ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) About the ethical problem I really think we are helping pools to build up shares a little faster at start and keep up with the other pools, like filling a bucket of water faster at start and slowly pouring at the end. The hopper method keeps us, the miners, informed too when a pool it´s attacked,DOS´ed or down. btw: stale=rejected (same thing) edit: not the same thing like I thought, sorry.

Stale shares have already been accepted and are not always credited [edit] as shares by a pool. Rejected shares are corrupted, not from the pools getwork [edit], or otherwise just plain wrong and are never accepted. Yep, seems its ozco.in causing those 8-10% stales, new block on btcguild giving me normal ~0.5% stales.
Ozco.in is an Australian pool. They're great guys, and very responsive. However, being an Australian pool means that most of you are going to have pings of 200 to 400 ms, which is going to mean a few more stales than normal. I'm only a few thousand km away and I have 3% stales due to a tortuous path between me and western australia. If you're not in Australasia I wouldn't mine at Ozco.in if your stales are consistently high and you have a high ping there.

Nah my ozco.in issues cleared up mostly with recent LP adjustments made by coow.
I am used to 400ms to btcguild and that still gave me <1% stales, packetloss would be the only devil and not so much latency.

x8s currently voting (in german) on pool hopping countermeasures http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28848.msg362984#msg362984I wouldn't bother adding them until they've decided what to do. I think as a group we are definitely having a positive effect. Unfortunately, not everyone is going for changes from proportional reward systems - they're just trying to make it harder to figure out when rounds have started, or are banning suspected hoppers. These countermeasures are not impossible to overcome and just encourage an arms race in development. When you consider this thread has been open for 7 days and is now 14 pages long, I'd say we have enough interested parties to make a responsive adversary. The only way pool hoppers will be permanently stopped is by the pool members pressuring the pool owners to come up with a non-proportional reward system that doesn't reward hopping. Seeing this thread bounce to the top lots of times a day might be just what is needed.
