bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[slippyrocks]

I see the problem notepad was making the README unreadable.

WordPad to the rescue-

[error]

Python 3 has a bunch of things which break backward compatibility, so scripts written for Python 2.x often need alteration to run on Python 3.x. Complicating the issue is that Arch seems to have no way of installing multiple versions of programs/libraries and they have been actively hostile to the idea in the past. Arch, then, is not something you would run anything remotely important on, since it's likely to break the next time you run pacman.

If you refer to my problem before, I installed the wrong (Python3) version of pyopenssl. A simple addition of a "2" in the right spot fixed it...

Python simply is split now in "python2" and "python" (=python3) in Arch, no real biggie. Also nothing did break yet on updates so far, keeping fingers crossed!

getting there with python-2.7.2.msi
now i just have to learn how to install an .egg
what fun like the good old days

[Sukrim]

Already got >120 shares.

Let's hope this is a short one!

Oh no it's starting to lag. Just went red, anyone else?

[gnaget]

yea, they can't handle it

Not sure about "Then each of the packages mentioned in the readme should detect
where the python directory is to install into."

I found out that if you install python first, the other packages you need to install will detect your python installation and install into the right place. There are three packages you need:
https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac

getting there with python-2.7.2.msi

A .egg is the same as a .zip. Just change the extension.

[slippyrocks]

Okay windows install blitz
1. https://github.com/c00w/bitHopper/zipball/master
[unzip to C:\bitHopper view README in WordPad]
2. http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2.msi
3. http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/T/Twisted/Twisted-11.0.0.winxp32-py2.7.msi
4. http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.7.exe (for .egg support)
5. http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/z/zope.interface/zope.interface-3.6.4-py2.7-win32.egg
6. http://launchpad.net/pyopenssl/main/0.11/+download/pyOpenSSL-0.11-py2.7-win32.egg

.egg(s) are installed using C:\Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe
You will have to use  command console aka cmd.exe.

Move pool.cfg.default to pool.cfg and modify it to use your accounts
Run C:\bitHopper\bitHopper.py maybe create shortcut
Direct your miner to localhost:8337 using some username and password.
ie. in MINER.BAT "start /affinity 1 /D"C:\Users\David\Downloads\poclbm_py2exe_20110709" /MIN poclbm.exe assman:password@localhost:8337 -d 0 -v -w 128"
Look at stats and control pool in web browser at localhost:8337/stats

That should take you 30 seconds took me an hour to figure out.

Have not been able to locate bitHopper documentation and arguments not obvious where to look.

[Sukrim]

You know I know how
To make em stop and stare as I jump out
The pool can't even handle me right now
Watchin' shares watchin' shares I go all out
The pool can't even handle me right now (yeahhhhh)
The pool can't even handle me right now (yeahhhhh)

@slippyrocks:
Or just download my packaged version and have a single .exe + config files.

Have not been able to locate bitHopper documentation and arguments not obvious where to look.

So, it sounds like you're up and running? Definitely try the shortcut from my first post.
The pool.cfg is really all the documentation you really "need" to keep up, however this massive 90+ page topic is excellent documentation. And, these guys are very helpful if you just ask. (Personal experience)

If any one is interested I made an edit to the index.html so each pool name is a link to its corresponding web address. Makes it easier to visit a pool while reviewing pool stats. The links open in a new tab / window.

Just add the line "url: http://site-address-here.com" to the pool.cfg file for each pool and then change code in the index.html to the code below.

Code:

function getName(payload, srv) {
	return "<a href='" + srv['url']  + "' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:underline;color:" + getColor(payload,srv) + ";'>" + srv['name'] + "</href>";
}

function getColor(payload, srv) {
	if(payload['servers'][payload['current']]['name'] == srv['name']) {
		return 'yellow';
	}
	if(srv['lag'] == true) {
		return 'red';
	}
	return 'white';
}

[Sukrim]

Nice, but I'm unsure if that "getURL(srv)" function should be there with a huge switch statement + all the pools hardcoded.

It's a nice + quick hack, but I'd rather see an additional "url:..." field in pool.cfg to be honest, otherwise this likely becomes a nightmare to maintain.

Yeah I agree, it's a gross hack and should be like you said. I thought about putting it in the pool.cfg and I looked at the pool.py code to see if I could do it that way but I couldn't figure out how it gets the config file data to the server variable array? ಠ_ಠ . My python is rusty  

Edit: I figured it out and edited my first post. Was easier than I thought.

how do i join the pool? seems like i just did my own pool when i changed minipool name.

[slippyrocks]

Is there any way to take advantage that slush brings your
payout up to full within a few minutes of joining the pool?
Like:
Miner A mining for 3 hours
Miner B just joined 5 minutes ago
Block then ends
Both get roughly the same payout of .066BTC
This work in my favor quite a few times.
---Added
Am pretty sure a new block can be id'd using LP like from BTC Guild.

Heads up I broke the delagger a couple of commits ago. You should probably update since I fixed it.

[Sukrim]

@c00w: As the pull from paraipanakos is basically from me: My code is public domain, I guess he/she/it sees it the same way.

[c00w]

Its merged, If you have a script to automatically build windows packages I can throw the packages on github or in the readme.
