bitHopper: Python Pool Hopper Proxy

[simonk83]

Ok, here's the test to see if Slush is fixed

EDIT:  All good

Oops, no, not fixed.    If you're mid slice when the pool switches to Slush, it'll stay on slush (past 10%) until the slice figures catch up.

EDIT: Ignore that, I had it set to "mine", not "mine_slush"

Sorry, sorry, it's actually still broken   Doesn't hop away after 10-11% as it should.   Disabled for now.

EDIT:  Right, slicing is still a bit broken.    If a pool is activated close to its end (10% for slush or 43% otherwise) and the slice count is less than other pools, bitHopper will stick with that pool, past the 43%, until the slice shares catch up.

This happens with slush, and bitcoins.lc (mostly because they seem to delay their stats so sometimes bitHopper jumps over quite late into the round)

I saw the exact same thing. It continues past the 43.5%/11% threshold, if slice count is less than any other minable pool.

Also I noticed that while it was catching up on slice counts on Slush and bclc reset, bclc wasn't hopped despite its 0 slice count.

A really helpful feature would be a reboot computer link at the status page..
When my PC freezes, Teamviewer often dies but the bithopper status page is still responsive. Would be good to be able to restart the PC remotely via this page.

Rebooting a PC via a click on a homepage is not exactly a feature that would be helpful for Pool Hopping (or a very secure feature, for that matter). Why not just SSH in and reboot (or do the Windows equivalent)? Also you should maybe check why your PC freezes and fix that rather than coding a reboot button...

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.

It isn't the server.  Switched over to cherrypicker and all problems dissapeared instantly.  Its the hopper causing the problems.

I think you may have too many gpu's requesting getworks on a single accunt at bitclockers for cherrypicker even.  If you spread them out over a couple different accounts it would probably work well.

Finally figured out the problem with the webpage stats, so anyone with stats db impermanence listen up:

Don't let any pool efficiency become Infinity. If you did delete stats.db and make sure you don't add any reward until you have shares for the pool. I was still having this problem on the latest build until I guessed why.

You may be asking: well why did you assign coinage to shares you dont have yet? Well I was actually adding negative reward - the amount the pool said I was owed but hadn't had confirmed yet. That way when it appeared in my bitcoin client I'd just add the amount with the owing - from prior to the db starting - and it would already be taken care of.

@c00w - any way we can have Infinity efficiency in the stats.db without making stats.db impermanent?

[simonk83]

Is anyone able to mess with the stats page so that when viewing it on a phone (I'm on android) the pools don't jump around every couple of seconds?   Reaaaalllllly annoying

+1 would like that too 

[joulesbeef]

Ugh this is frustrating, nowhere in the instructions does it even say I have to install python..

Just a small FYI.. Get used to it. This software is pretty much in alpha phase.. c00w is coding as we speak and new features get added all the time. You are going to have issues. and some times new releases come with new bugs. It does get frustrating, last night c00w killed my user moocow on the stats page. I was devastated, but he fixed him right back up and now my mining buddy is back. Anyways welcome to the team good to see ya got it working, and you are going to have to keep up with this thread on a daily basis.

[paraipan]

Anyone care to comment on this

[joulesbeef]

If you go look around inside bitHopper.py towards the around the bottom quarter or so, you can locate command options.

ooo thanks that was helpful.

I see Bitcoins @ 8 Dollar... That worries me...

I guess you dont have money to buy them.. I'm in the same boat, no extra scratch or I would get a ton.

Nothing fundamental has changed.. just more fall out from mybitcoin... this is opportunity knocking loud.

People who complained they never had the chance to get in on the ground floor, can at least get in on the 8th floor.

um yeah wtf

*Thank's for the tip Paraipanakos, that works!,
Same problem as the last 10 version.  I have to use a very old version if I want the program to jump to my backup Deepbit, all the new versions only do 10 or so shares, and then jump to the lowest % pool, even if it is above the threshold.

Please tell me why this won't go to Deepbit when it should?

If I restart the program, it realized no good pools are worth being on, and it goes to my only backup, deepbit.  After 10 or so shares, it goes to a pool, even though it shouldn't.

I am stuck using a version from 2 weeks ago if I want it to work properly.
BLOW IS THE NEW VERSION THAT IS BROKE


The problem is that when there is no API information it shows 100% and over 188k shares on Deepbit.  The old version says NA and it actually HOPS TO IT WHEN I WANT IT TO...

If the API can't pick up a number for a BACKUP pool it needs to say NA and not 100% with 188k shares... that makes sure it never hops to it, even on a backup.

BELOW IS THE OLD VERSION THAT WORKS FOR BACKUP


Notice how the shares on my Deepbit backup don't say 188k shares, it says NA, and when my other pools are too high, it actually hops to deepbit, which I want.  None of the last 10 version of the Hopper properly work for a deepbit backup.

My stats page doesnt work properly even after deleting stats.db and I havent assigned any coin value....it works for like the first 4mins then goes stagnent as in ... payout and user shares wont update anymore =(

[bitcoindaddy]

Using the up-to-date c00w version, it mines slush even well above 10% with the default scheduler.  Slush is set to mine_slush, penalty=1

[ewibit]

Anyone care to comment on this

um yeah wtf

sorry, I do not understand whats going on there except that someone is buying/selling much coins...
any hints?
TIA

[ewibit]

why is always Efficiency showing 0,00%?

..........................................

I think it's the api giving you problems there, the more recent versions of bH looks for that even if it's a backup pool

please paste this config in your pools.cfg

Code:

[deepbit]
name: DeepBit
mine_address: pit.deepbit.net:8332
api_address: https://deepbit.net/
api_method: re
api_key: rate:([ 0-9]+)Gh/s<
api_strip: ' '
