bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[organofcorti]

I think you might find all pools are above the jump off point. When there are no other suitable pools bitHopper defaults to XXPPS type pool until a better pool is found.

I thought that was the problem at first, which is why I cleared out the stats (deleted stats.db)
When I restarted bitHopper it showed 0 stats across the board.

Wouldn't this make it choose one of the "mine" pools over the "backup" pool?
Or am I misunderstanding bitHopper?

Yes, you are misunderstanding bitHopper i think. Let me rephrase my last message: All proportional pools are above about 700000 shares total. This makes them unhoppable, so we go to backup. Backups are PPS or a PPS variant , meaning you get paid for every share and have an efficiency of 1.0

So I'm mining a backup at the moment, too.

Ok, I have a whole laundry list of questions/feature request. I will number them.

1) How does the efficiency work?
2) Can we add something to skip/not show disabled servers in the new stats like gnaget did a couple pages back or add a role like removefromlist?
3) Can we sort the stats by: %Difficulty, %Efficiency, Role (mine; mine_slush; mine_nmc; backup; disabled)?
4) Can we show round duration like ryouiki?
5) Would it be worth it to move some of the more specific/custom variables into a .cfg file like: API Timeout Tries, %Diff to hop Backup and %Diff to hop Slush (possibly per pool in pool.cfg), Server Port, Stats sort-by (possibly from above question), etc?

Just want stoke the debate a little here. Let me know what you think.

EDIT: I do like flower's stats as a basis for future optimizations.

Nice ideas, code a patch/fork and do a pull request!

That is so much harder than just letting c00w worry about it

Not quite the "debate" I was looking for... My programing level is that of a first year semester C++ flunkie. I am, however, willing to provide modest tips and loads of feedback for improvements, and even if I could, I wouldn't want to make changes that weren't appreciated by the community.

That being said, how are you guys using the efficiency function of the stats page?

Actually, if you use the role of removefromlist, and change my code from comparing to =="disable" to =="removefromlist" you'd probably get the exact behavior you are looking for

c00w just merged flower's stats into the master fork. I looked for your code in the new index.html and had no luck finding it. I like the way you think though. 2 hours ago that would have covered it damn well. That's the type of coding I can do. If you figure out the new stats, I'd love to see your changes. Thanks.

...or if you're as lazy as me but want to keep all the info in pools.cfg, just comment out the config for the pools you dont want showing up.

Thanks, I didn't know that was possible. I thought missing info in pool.cfg caused errors. That works for me.
Know anything about how to use the efficiency stats?

I suppose you are talking about a fork other than c00ws? cause that dont work.

I thought the same thing, however it just worked for me.

looks like the goodfellas at mtred will unblock with a polite ask. +1 for them.

Also, congrats to everyone for having the longest thread in all the forums (apart from the Introduce Yourself thread in Newbies - hardly counts). Tonight we passed the Press Hits thread in General Discussion. That thread has been around for months, this one for about 3 weeks or so. Wow!
Nevermind - I just saw that many of the pool threads are 3x the size of this...

Looks like polmine just went live with a new website. I think regex is broken.
Sulsh also started to give api errors, but I found their json link at the bottom of their stats page. I was using the regex from an earlier post, however i'm not sure why we don't use this:

Code:

[slush]
name: bitcoin.cz
mine_address: http://api2.bitcoin.cz:8332
role: mine_slush
api_address: http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json/
api_method: json
api_key:shares
#CHANGE THIS
#http://www.bitcoin.cz
user: username
pass: password

[hawks5999]

I'm now running:

poolmunity.com
polmine.pl
bitclockers.com
bitcoinmonkey.com
mtred
bitcoins.lc
rfcpool.com
triplemining.com
nofeemining.com
ozco.in


Anything obviously stupid stands out?

Nothing stupid that I can see. The more you can add the better.

BTW, I couldn't get total share count from several of pools I'm hitting but on the ones that I could get lifetime shares and lifetime payout I got the following per share results:


PPS                                   Pool
0.0000299359895833333   Eligius
0.0000307082575654770   ArsBitCoin
0.0000313219164492368   DeepBit (24x7)
0.0000377222646500271   BTCGuild
0.0000459264271808658   Polmine
0.0000547994730717010   NoFeeMining
0.0000787164232667098   OzCo.in


Info from Deepbit was 24x7 mining I was doing before hopping. It out performs Ars and Eligius (which is why I wanted to have it as a backup). But nothing compares to NoFee and the Ozzies. Wow!

No, c00w's fork, but you have to comment out *everything* to do with the pool. The db name, the pool name, info, pass, user - just a whole mess of # all the way down the page.

Eg

#[slush]
#name: bitcoin.cz
#mine_address: http://api2.bitcoin.cz:8332
#role: mine_slush
#api_address: http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json/
#api_method: json
#api_key:shares
#CHANGE THIS
#http://www.bitcoin.cz
#user: username
#pass: password

It does work.

I tried this but the json feed wouldn't work. I've been using anty's regex instead. It would be better if the json feed worked consistently. Did you try api.bitcoin.cz or api2.bitcoin.cz? Coz' I didn't.

yeah i must have not commented out the [name] part

 it works now

The json is working for me (so far) on my test rig/pc. I haven't mined on slush yet, so I'm not sure about api or api2.

Thanks. That's 2 pool fixes in about 10 minutes. This isht is cutting edge.

Night y'all.
