bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[Sukrim]

"url: ..." fields should already be there for each pool now though, so if that's your concern for your branch, don't worry!

the colors look fine but something is messing with my eyes in the payout section. besides for that, it looks good.

That's the black text. I was conflicted on white or black, but the real goal would be to have the colored text go all the way across. Here it is with white.



Can anyone help with getting the getColor function to work for the remaining uncolored text? Let me know, and I'll create a fork.

Edit:

Ok for the payout color replace line 151 in index.html with

Code:

payout = "<a href='#' onFocus='this.blur();' onClick=\"setPayout('" + srvName + "');\" style='text-decoration:underline;color:" + getColor(payload,srv) + ";'>" + srv["payout"].toFixed(8) + "</a>";

And for the role color replace line 108 of index.html with

Code:

var role = "<a href='#' onClick=\"selectRole('" + srvName + "', '" + srv["role"] + "')\" onFocus='this.blur();' style='text-decoration:underline;color:" + getColor(payload,srv) + ";'>" + srv["role"] + "</a>";

Hope this helps.

my nofee looks like this


and i wasnt using them for backup.. are they pay per share now or something?

No, nofee has a second pool up that will pay per share, its a cloud based system hosted on Googles appspot services so it should be pretty stable even if it gets bigger, its in beta now but its working pretty well. The new address for stats and info: http://nofeemining.appspot.com/  and for mining its

Code:

./cgminer -o http://nofeemining.appspot.com -u YOURBITCOINADDRESS -p ANYPASSWORD -I 8

Can someone try to run this on the hopper and see what they get? I got the errors mentioned above: exceptions.AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'connHeaders'

looks cool, looks like you need to edit the readme.

so this doesnt have any dependencies? doesnt need python, and all the extras?

[muyoso]

Let me just say that polmine is awesome.  And who would have thought about Slush??  I am over 200% efficiency at Slush for the day.

Yes, it has a Python interpreter already packaged in the binary, as well as all other python libs. It's fairly easy to do this with any Python program, either with PyInstaller or py2exe (I used PyInstaller) and mybe it helpt more people to hop more easily.

I didn't want to do my own readme, as I'm just repackaging. In the future I plan on putting these releases either on an FTP or on Wuala (I need some room there before though). Dropbox sucks for this kinda stuff, as you can only share individual files, not folders. Then maybe I'll just get my own entry in the README file and that's it ("either install Python and the libraries or use the files at ... provided by Sukrim").

Just a heads-up for everyone:

You from now on need to edit user.cfg (copy from user.cfg.default), NOT pool.cfg!

Hope that was big enough...

pool.cfg holds stuff like regexes + URLs that shouldn't matter to users anyways and you can then update easier if there is no change in the number of pools, just in some "backend" stuff.

this change broke deleting pools

of course I edited pools.cfg to remove them manually, but this means the splitting of the files didn't help, in fact it complicated the process
I just don't want to see a bunch of disabled pools on http://localhost:8337/stats

Absolutely perfect! I would have never been able to figure that one out. Thanks.

I've created a fork on github. Everybody check out my new stats layout / color scheme. (I also changed and capitalized the pool names in the pool.cfg and user.cfg.default, so just replace those files if you don't want to deal with that.)

EDIT: Just updated to comment out disabled pools in pool.cfg and user.cfg.default (Removes disabled pools from the stats) index.html should copy over to latest c00w build without any changes

you made a mistake in user.cfg

[c00w]

@eskimo
It should work now.

deleting pools in user.py not deleting them in pool.py
It should. I'll look at it and see what I need to do to get it to work.

@macboy80
is your code in the public domain? I'd be glad to move it over to bitHopper when I have the time. Or a pull request would be awesome.

You did not set a role for every pool. Did you copy over user.cfg.default and edit it in there? If I jsut rename it to user.cfg it works, so...

And yeah, sorry about the overwriting stuff. I thought it would be obvious to the users anyways.

@c00w
I didn't code it that way that you can just delete pools in user.py - but if you for example check if the key "role" even exists before continuing after reading the config files, you can delete the obsolete pools from the dictionary.

I'm currently working on "backup_latehop" that hops to the backup_latehop pool with the most shares - useful for scored pools maybe (though the chances are actually the same of hitting a block, no matter how late the round is) and in any case a definite help for any backup pool, as people usually tend to leave (irrationally) on long rounds.

[c00w]

Yeah I'm going to fix it so deleting it like that works though. I just need to check for existence of user and if it is not there delete it.

[Sukrim]

I'm currently fighting with "selectsharesResponse" in pool.py: if no (useful) response is given (like btcg currently...), it seems to still continue, even if it can't parse for example a certain json key. This however seems to discourage it THAT much, that it doesn't even try again unless you switch roles...

Should it put pools on "api_disable" in these cases?!

Edit:
My suggestion would be to set the share count at errors to the current difficulty. These 10**10 spikes (if there is a single error) can destroy the whole charts + are not really useful anyways. Actually they can cause mine_friendly and backup_latehop to jump to the wrong pool.

[c00w]

@Sukrim
We don't want it to do api_disable or change the times because of network outages. Only for pool owners messing with us. Especially because there is no automated way to undo an api_disable. You have to do it manually with the website.
If you have a vision for how to clean up the api code send me a message or post it here or on github. My next project is cleaning up the LP code to cut down on rejects and to make it possible to hop without share scraping.

EDIT: On rereading you post I really need an api_error flag.

[Sukrim]

I think I already found one weird spot:

Code:

        self.servers[pool]['err_api_count'] += 1
        if self.servers[pool]['err_api_count'] > 1:

^ this does nothing if the error count is just 1.

I rewrote it to set the share count to "difficulty" instead of 10**10 on errors, I doubt that this would have any adverse effects. Just look at my newest fork.

[c00w]

Um that is because certain people wanted it to not be disabled on the first error. I bow to people who complain enough on issues which are minor.

[Sukrim]

Hm, only problem is if the response has an error from the beginning. Well, I'll undo my "fix" then in this place and make sure further above that you at least get an integer as share count...

[c00w]

Tommorow I'll add an api_error and an api_delagger. should fix some of these problems.
