SPOT Mining-

[BenFranklin]

Great comments so far guys.

No issues with the servers.

And it is cryptonote based so  tools / mining strategies based on crypto note will work well.


We are working on a pool as well.  We havent verified the tools yet, but feel free to connect to it and try it out.  Good way to see network hashing rates.

If others are interested in setting up a pool, we can share a sanitized version of our config.json if there is interest

Hi Ben,

[2018-02-03 23:28:37] : SOCKET ERROR - [pool.crypto-me.com:13336] CONNECT error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

ill take that config.json

[gladwinator]

doesn't look like i can connect to the pool on any of the ports supplied.
anyone else confirm?

Portscan shows none of the ports to use for mining are open.

Portscan done on other pools show the ports open.

[BenFranklin]

Will look into the ports

[BenFranklin]

So.. its fixed.   wasn't a port problem per se...   more of a wrong url for the node supporting the mining in the website config.

pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13330 ().
pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13331 ().
pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13332 ().
pool1.crypto-me.com is responding on port 13333 ().

pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13334 ().
pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13335 ().
pool1.crypto-me.com is responding on port 13336 ().

pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13337 ().
pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13338 ().
pool1.crypto-me.com is responding on port 13339 ().

pool1.crypto-me.com isn't responding on port 13340 ()


Correct address for the configuration has been updated from pool.crypto-me.com  to pool1.crypto-me.com

config.json

Basically update the ports to where your server is listening, update the wallet address, and the admin  password.

 It is based on your configuration of the node that is running the SPOT daemon, node-js, redis, and simplewallet started in RPC mode  (  ./simplewallet --config-file /path/to/spotmecoin/SPOT.conf --wallet-rpc-bind-port 8082 --password '#yeahright#' --wallet-file /path/to/your/wallet.file   ).  (can also put those command line switches in the config file)

i think port is closed

[Mimas]

pool1.crypto-me.com not responding on any ports or ping.

pool.crypto-me.com responding on some ports but none used for mining.

It appears   to be working now. knock on wood.. holding rabbit foot..   crossing eyes...  i mean fingers..  


 So I want to share what was stopping it from working if someone else decides to set up a pool.

This will fix problems with connecting to the pool
ports open.. but receiving stratum errors

and miners not getting paid.
Behavior is repeated logs of "No workers' balances reached the minimum payment threshold" even though should have.



in the cryptonote mining pool default distro you need to fix the package.json file


in package.json file

replace this section
        
       "dependencies": {
        "bignum": "*",
        "async": "*",
        "redis": "*",
        "cli-color": "*",
        "dateformat": "*",
        "base58-native": "*",
        "multi-hashing": "git://github.com/fancoder/node-multi-hashing.git",
        "cryptonote-util": "git://github.com/fancoder/node-cryptonote-util.git"
    }


With this line

      

    "dependencies": {
    "bignum": "0.12.5",
        "async": "1.5.2",
        "redis": "0.12.1",
   "cli-color": "1.1.0",
        "dateformat": "1.0.12",
       "base58-native": "0.1.4",
        "multi-hashing": "git://github.com/fancoder/node-multi-hashing.git",
        "cryptonote-util": "git://github.com/forknote/node-cryptonote-util.git"
    }


do this after you clone from git (so you have the files to edit)
and before you run npm update (so it downloads the right repository)

If you have already ran npm update..  delete node_modules folder and run again

[BenFranklin]

Payments are working now.

[BenFranklin]

No block explorer yet.. 

[WEDL]

Hello

pool.crypto-me.com

no payout since 2:30 pm

[ligor]

Are there any bounties?

[BenFranklin]

We have an offline wallet generator in testing. If there is interest in seeing it early let me know. 

[BenFranklin]

Sounds good!  Will post an early release one here..  I learned a lesson posting the pool before it was ready..  demand was outpacing supply for a pool.  Seems like everyone wanted to go swimming. lol.

Hi All

Have finished setting up a pool, thanks to the support from Ben at spotme with helping me troubleshoot.

Has been running for 5 days now and seems to be running with no issues.

The address is spotme.meow-pool.co.uk for anyone interested!

This is first pool I hsve setup so If you encounter any issues please make sure to let me know so I can rectify them for you.

Happy mining :-)

Spot on!

Nice, this is good the community is moving up. any news on the project?
