bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[Sukrim]

There is nothing to revert when the file was not in the repository before. I didn't know git allowed such things to happen, well now I do

Ouch indeed - created a quick fix renaming pool.cfg to pools.cfg.

Sorry for that!

You can however just use the default for a minute and check out the nice clickable links to each pool on the statpage!

Oh, the json seems nice, I'll edit it in.
Edit: done

Can you also add correct config for btcpool24.com. They have a JSON stats now at http://www.btcpool24.com/json_stats.php

Thank you.

Does anyone know what causes this error:

Code:

  File "/home/user/bitHopper/_newclient.py", line 1331, in _finishResponse
    connHeaders = self._parser.connHeaders.getRawHeaders('connection')
exceptions.AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'connHeaders'

Im trying to use nofeemining's new pool as a backup but I get the above error when trying to use it. they use the address: http://nofeemining.appspot.com now.

haha sigh ive decided to just give up on bitclockers their system doesnt seem to handle more than 230Gh and everyone start to get cycled, it has nothing to do with being a hopper since I saw other users reporting they also keep getting idle miner, 20second reconnect.

Till they upgrade its just not sane to waste gpu cycles there.

I have written a patch so that only the really wanted pools, that is pools you specify in the user.cfg are used. You don't have to specify all pools from the pools.cfg you would have to before, because of interpolation key requirements (like with btcg).

Also: Why do I have to speficy api_* now though I only use a pool for backup? This wasn't required earlier…

I'm getting "Error in pool api for …" which is unnecessary for backup pools.

pool.py: api_pull should not include 'backup', should it?

This is prob a slight mixup in code with regards to the charity pool mining that would mine at the backup pool with highest share count.

nice feature, exactly what was needed man
you feel like making a git pull request ?

Yeah, I noticed they're lagging like crazy. The lag detection also interferes with cgminer's submit work queue which is submitting timed out shares to the new pool during LP switch-over. With the bitclockers lag this is adding up to 20% rejects for me. Is there a way to configure how many connection failures/or how long before a server is considered lagging? If not, I am going to look into this.

And a way to order backup pools like we could do with ryouiki's fork? It seems a scheduler would need to be created?

I have been running btcg as backup (crazy?) because of their recent insane luck +60% under difficulty. The connection is also a lot more stable than ars/eligius at <2% reject. I'm getting about 0.000049105/share.

I haven't been following this thread for a while and now have a lot of catching up to do

I don't have a github account, and for such small patches I don't think I need to fork the project. Anyone is welcome to just include the patch.

hehe in just a moment (pro copy-paster)

Your code is public domain or give rights to c00w ?

My modification, that is the two lines of modification ^^, is under the do whatever you want to do with it license ;-) (OK, I think that is public domain)
Thanks for asking though

Would it be possible to get a role so we can force bitHopper to mine on a certain pool and stay on that pool until you change the role? It could be something like mine_force or mine_lock. I've had a few times where a pools stats have gone down but the pool is still up and I want to continue to mine on it but have no way to force bitHopper to continue to mine the pool.

Edit: Also could we get the miner names colored green for online and red for offline? Say something like after 5 min of not submitting any shares consider the miner offline and color it red else color it green.

I'll look into possibly coding these myself but I'm having trouble sorting through this python code.

Yep, I agree.  This is the last round for bitclockers for me.  Getting under 100% efficiency with them because the last few rounds were long anyway.

So here are the monte carlo sim results after letting it crunch numbers overnight. Sim is based on one prop pool and one pps pool.

Your hopper on 0 to 0.43 * difficulty:


Your hopper on 2 to 4 * difficulty:


Any questions?

My question is, what did you do to these frogs?

This is your brain on frogs. Any questions?

[paraipan]

I don't get it, there are 2 mixed pools or the upper is prop and the other is pps ?

Sorry it was referenced to the hosting, all I see is pictures of frogs unvalidated domain to host images.

Ha! I thought it was a very clever reference to 'hopping'! Made me smile, anyway. I'll post everything on hoppersden plus stuff i won't post here, so look there tonight.
