bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[c00w]

With the default slice scheduler penalty only changes the share count which it jumps off at. It does nothing to effect share weighting.

[GenTarkin]

Hi guys, I set this up and am having some issues. About 7  "Error in pool api for xxxxx" keep spamming the console, so I assume its not getting stats from them.
The pools are:
polmine
btcmonkey
mtred
eclipsemc
rfc
nofeemining
bitp

What could be wrong...Ive verified my login and passwords...

[joulesbeef]

are you using c00ws latest? or a different fork?

also how are you mining eclipsemc? er what role is it cause they use a score base system.. if you not mine_slush(which is sorta new and use at your own risk) then it should be disabled.

[zybron]

Should slush have both the 'mine_slush' role and a penalty of 4? Seems like all the currently implemented schedulers in c00w's latest would double apply a shares * 4 penalty while hopping. It should be one or the other, right, but not both?

Code:

for server in self.bh.pool.get_servers():
         info = self.bh.pool.get_entry(server)
         if info['api_lag'] or info['lag']:
            continue
         if info['role'] not in ['mine','mine_nmc','mine_slush']:
            continue
         if info['role'] in ['mine']:
            shares = info['shares']
         elif info['role'] == 'mine_slush':
            shares = info['shares'] * 4 <---( * 4 penalty applied here )
         elif info['role'] == 'mine_nmc':
            shares = info['shares']*difficulty / nmc_difficulty
         else:
            shares = 100* info['shares']
         # apply penalty
         if 'penalty' in info:
            shares = shares * float(info['penalty']) <---( * 4 penalty applied here )

Mining eclipsemc as backup along with bitp...those are my 2 backups / primary mine sites.
I am using c00ws v.11 it did it with .1 as well, using master file/download.

Also, Im using CGminer as my miner...do I disable its LongPoll? or leave it enabled?

[joulesbeef]

something seems to be going on with the share count on the stats page.. it wont update for ages and yet my miner console seems to be happily going along getting work and submitting work and getting accepted messages.

restarted with debug.. so far it hasnt hung with the shares again

but i see this in the hopper console

Code:

also I havent had any getwork spam since I rebooted.. could it  have anything to do with changing hoppers while leaving guiminer running? i noticed when it happened, the miner console would say , server sent work for past block, ignoring. Or something very close to that. anyways dont rock your brain with it.. the getwork problem seems to have been local.

Mining eclipsemc as backup along with bitp...those are my 2 backups / primary mine sites.

I thought we couldnt use them for a backup due to their score method.. maybe someone can clarify.

Not sure on the api... or the longpoll but i would guess leave it enabled since we are doing longpolls now

[GenTarkin]

Need help w/ the api errors....I think this is preventing the hopping from working right grrr....
Will bypass it for now and go back to direct pool hashing...till someone can give recommendation to try =)

[joulesbeef]

yeah and my shares are back stuck.. sitting at 24

gettting a lot of those errors

miner console looks fine to my eyes.. and it is set to -v

and as I finish this comment, still sitting at 24.. miner says it is mining

on a side note, my bud has been mining bitclockers with the hopper with no problems and no rejects.. he hasnt hopped as long as most of us, so it makes me wonder if they are qos'n certain ips

[GenTarkin]

ah, I figured out he problem now how do I Fix... I installed the openssl package for windows....
It seems the https pools are the ones w/ the api error!

[c00w]

@beef
Update. I fixed the shares problem. If I didn't tell me.

@GenTarkin
There should be a link for pyopenssl in the readme.

@djex
How about now?

[djex]

@djex
How about now?

Working good now. and shares are being incremented so that's working well now too.

on a side note, my bud has been mining bitclockers with the hopper with no problems and no rejects.. he hasnt hopped as long as most of us, so it makes me wonder if they are qos'n certain ips

I thought someone else said they tried with a new ip and a new account with no success? As for me, I was stopped in my track with high rejected shares right from the get go with a new account and ip when I first hopped on their pool not that many days ago.

I still haven't gotten around to testing the flowers poclbm fork with bitclockers and slush though. I know slush was acting weird with huge amount of rejects for me when I pointed decent amount of hashing power to it. Seemed limited to about 4Ghash worth per worker account and beyond that is just trashed by the pool even though bitHopper shows them accepted and not rejected. Possibly getwork related at slush as well as bitclockers? How much are you guys pushing in hashing power when you guys are seeing the high rejects from bitclockers? I will update with my own results once I've actually run some tests.

Well so far poclbm fork doesnt help me, new ip, new account, single miner or miner via bithopper.. Bitclockers just giving me the finger.

I think its whole batches of ip ranges the retard just completely limited to get dropped even if it sneezes at his server.

No wonder even when new block gets found the server barely increase traffic by 20gh, his server wont grow like this.

The next thing I will do is route my traffic through different geo-VPN's and see if it still screws with me.

yeah someone said that... i also tried a new account.. no success.

my bud who is on a flaky 5770.. has over 500 share with them and no rejects(since the last i cleared his database) and it never seems to turn red there.. maybe speed is an issue? but that would be odd.


The newest c00w miner is working fine, shares are updating.. i did lose my little user guy down there at the bottom.. what happened to moocow? he should be down there keeping track of my totals. eh it isnt important.. everything is working.. i have 0 rejects right now myself, out of... crap I aint going to count all that.. but it is a lot of them

clipse you try cherry pickers yet?

Makes sense just for the part that he prob requests 1, maybe 2, getworks every 5seconds. Bitclockers shoddy servers can actually handle that extreme traffic lol

Ive tried cherrypicker and glad it didnt work(same issues still) mainly because I have no plans to migrate my mining farm to windows machines for just one pool, so I will find another solution somewhere/somehow.

[joulesbeef]

shouldnt cherry work on linux? isnt it just java?


C00w see an error in the console doesnt seem to be effecting me but thought i'd share.

Code:

[simonk83]

Are they still charging to use CherryPicker (not that I'm bothered about switching).  Just curious.

[c00w]

@beef
I added the new user processing to altslice. What scheduler are you using that doesn't show the users?
