bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[c00w]

1) Current delay?
current delay is 117 seconds. You can decrease it if you want. Most pools don't update their stats very frequently.

[burp]

Time to remove eclipsemc, they switched to a score system.

[anty]

I think eclipsemc delays their API stats. On their website they say round duration is 4:51h but we just started mining there.
And you can clearly see in their graph that 20 min ago the first hoppers joined (raised from 60gh/s to 100gh/s.
So I guess the delay is 4:30h. I disabled eclipsemc for me.

mmm just updated to latest git and bithopper just crash .

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

do you have mtred_user_apikey defined in password.py?

[Clipse]

yes, nothing changed from my previous bithopper version.

All I did was git pull to the latest version posted 20mins ago.

[c00w]

1) Define mtred_user_apikey.

2) I fixed the difficulty pull to revert to a hard defined value. I'll fix it later.

3) I removed eclipsemc from the latest git version.

4) There is a vestigial database in the latest version. Ignore it. Its disabled and doesn't work.

[Clipse]

allright, was strange error randomly cropped up with permissions.

Wow knuckle award for me.

What I am doing wrong?

blockexplorer is having issues getting the current difficulty, what I did to fix was change the code in diff.py like so:

Code:

#License#
#bitHopper by Colin Rice is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
#Based on a work at github.com.

import urllib2

def get_difficulty():
   # req = urllib2.Request('http://blockexplorer.com/q/getdifficulty')
   # response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
   # diff_string = response.read()
    diff_string = "1564057"
    return float(diff_string)

difficulty = get_difficulty()

this just hard codes the difficulty in the meantime.

[Keninishna]

Wow code update already on github, "Updated eclipse mc to not be hopped and added a default difficulty if calls fail"

[c00w]

1) Code already updated?
I'm a beast! In reality I run the software the same as you guys. Global issues get fixed quickly. Non global issues get fixed when someone tells me about them.

2) Update on progress with regards to stats?
So I know what I have to do. And I know how to do it. But all of tomorrow is busy. I'll see If I can knock it out on sunday. I'll need to rewrite everything again though in a less dramatic fashion. And I already figured out the system. I'm not going to automate pulling payouts from wallets though so if you want accurate stats you are going to have to tell the system when you get payouts from most pools. Some like btcguild have enough data in the API. Most don't.

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

[organofcorti]

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

In pools.py, change the last part of

Code:

  'bclc':{'shares':default_shares, 'name':'bitcoins.lc', 
            'mine_address':'bitcoins.lc:8080', 'user':bclc_user, 'pass':bclc_pass, 
            'lag':False, 'LP':None, 
            'api_address':'https://www.bitcoins.lc/stats.json', 'role':'info' },

to
 

Code:

                                                                 'role':'mine' },

                       

[organofcorti]

Efficiency update, calculated from the website data (only using bitHopper, all same difficulty):

bitcoins-lc: 67.9%
btc guild: 181.0%
eclipse: 146.5%
Mt Red: 181.7%
 
for a total earnings increase of 158.7%

[organofcorti]

Interestingly, the 'cheater function' shows that even hopping at <your shares>=<difficulty> has a 22% increase in effective hashrate (and thus coinage), which is better than eligius/arsbitcoin at 0% increase. So I it seems like it might pay have the jump off proportion of difficulty at 1.0 instead of 0.4

burp mentioned it earlier in the thread, be interesting to see if anyone tried it.

tl;dr change the hop shares from 0.4*diff to 1.0*diff

[bb]

I dont think I need to comment - except ... been 'hopped much, Mt Red?



(thanks to mperth's stats at http://mksv.ath.cx/bit/stats.php)

Why is it though that Mt. Red has 100 Mhash jumps, while others only get ~10 Mhash jumps?

[zybron]

Why is it though that Mt. Red has 100 Mhash jumps, while others only get ~10 Mhash jumps?

I'd guess it's not all us. There must be lots of people out there hopping Mt. Red.

[organofcorti]

100Ghps seems correct. Bitpit seems to have extra 100Ghps at the start of last round:
http://mksv.ath.cx/bit/graph.php?node=XS1YWGD4UA



Deepbit's variation is an easy 100Ghps, although it's hard to tell if it coincides with rounds:
http://mksv.ath.cx/bit/graph.php?node=2AC1BVST4N



Arsbitcoin seems to have reverse hopping - where everyone goes into hopping limbo:
http://mksv.ath.cx/bit/graph.php?node=29MPXJT6WF




Anyone with hopping strategies in place (eg multipool) would be adding to this, not just us. We're not even doing deepbit yet.
