bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[joulesbeef]

anyone having trouble getting to bitcoinmonkey? are they banning IPs?

I noticed I couldnt get to the site earlier, and down for everyone or just me said it was just me.

called a bud, he could get on. He hadnt updated his hopper, so he signed up.. updated his hopper and now calls me saying he cant get on anymore.


I can get to the site through a proxy but cant login.

yep, it stopped working for me not long after i signed up. If they're banning IPs they'd need to be doing it with a subnet mask since I have a dynamic IP.

is still showing it as up.

Whoever hops a pool with a whopping 2(!) blocks found is anyways just waiting to get screwed by the pool operator... Mining is all about trust in the pool operator! If I take a look at their thread, this trust is certainly NOT yet given, at least for me.

What?

[joulesbeef]

he is saying bitcoinmonkey hasnt developed trust yet.. i believe.


and yes you do have to trust a pool operator.

Step right up, step right up! Join Team Hopper on Triplemining and show 'em what a buncha 'hoppers can do!

If you're not in a minipool then you miss out on jackpots and bonus stuff, so why not join this one?

I hereby promise that I will never ban hoppers from this minipool

they have an incredibly major flaw in their minipool system.....it wont let people who have already set up accounts join your minipool, without setting up a completely new account.

[organofcorti]

Erh?

So you'd have to have a new account just to join

TEAM HOPPER!?

Well that sucks. Any new hoppers, join up!

Anyone who has an account and joins up, I'll forgo the first jackpot. I know that's unlikely and even if we do get a jackpot you'll have to trust me to pay you that fraction of a coin, but I'd love to see Team Hopper top the rankings.

I'll also split whatever the 'extra bonuses' are that I get from Triplemining. This way it's not a pyramid scheme of any type, and everyone wins. If it ends up being a pain in the arse to do lots of payouts I'll let someone else take over the Team Hopper name.

edit: ignore this last two paragraphs, wont work. See my next post. As far as the jackpot goes, (if and when we get a one) I'll split it among the first 5 joiners to make up for having to make a new account

[joulesbeef]

yep when i click your link it says "you already have an account.. If you want to have people join your minipool, give them your personal url!"


kinda lame as I was going to join you. Just dont want to have to abandon my account to do that.

[organofcorti]

You know what else? It would be really hard to split the bits of coins like I was going to because it doesn't depend on the team you join but the referral link you use. So what we could do is:

You (Joules) join via my link (yes, and get a new account, change worker names and passwords etc - sucks I know, sorry) Then you publish your link for the next hopper, then they publish theirs. I get something for you joining, You get something for the next person joining and I get nothing, etc.

Want to give it a try anyway?

I go out for a day a triplemining is faking stats to BitHopper. I'm sure someone noticed, but thought I'd give a warning before catching up on the reading.

Finally had to apply the commit mentioned earlier to fake the user agent: https://github.com/ryouiki/bitHopper/commit/e8fa81053efa238c062d03603c44eeecf4a87523

[flower1024]

are you sure you switched to the api method suggested by mrsam?
for me its working.

and he already announced HERE that he will fake stats when accessed through the https site (which i am fine with and which i can understand)

There isn't a ryouiki release with the correct api pull for triple.

@c00w:

How does 'efficiency' take into account difficulty? Is it the diff that the shares were obtained at, or the most recent diff for all shares? Just I noticed haven't gotten any efficiency below 200%, which is awesome but sounds too good to be true.

Just to be sure. When I disable the backup pool it means that no new work will be pushed if there isn't a pool that's good to hop onto? Or does it mean it will stick using the last one or something like that?

you're only using one backup pool? Or you want to disable all backups for some reason? I think it will just go to the pool with the smallest total shares, even if they're above the cut off point.

Correct. I run with just 1 backup pool, and if that fails it switches to the pool with the lowest share count, even if it's above the limit.

why just one backup? and which is it? It'd be good to do a poll and backups - which and why.

[neptop]

I just thought it might be better to have my miner switch to directly connecting to a backup pool, if there isn't any work coming from bitHopper for whatever reason: out of work (with backup pool disabled), bug, crash, down, because of upgrade, ...

[paraipan]

...
I'm pretty good with Python so I could add miner stats (mhash/s, submitted shares, stales, etc) and health stats (from this script) to the pool hopping proxy if you want, just let me know and I'll get started.

hey, capable programmers are always needed in communities like this, you could try making a fork and add some of your stuff to it  c00w had a thought on mysql integration days ago but I think lack of time didn't permit him to make it reality, it would be nice to have powerful stats in this project although
