[ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net

[BlueDragon747]

Blakecoinpool.org is bugged again, pool miners get no rewards because it thinks it did not find any blocks (in the Statistics page, there are 0 blocks found for last 24 hours).

I did report it to kr105 some time ago now my only guess is that he is busy with work  

blakecoinpool.org seems to be stuck, last block was over 8 hours ago.

Lets hope the pools don't fork the chain.

I have sent kr105 a couple of messages now, think its a stuck share that is effecting the front end and causing issues on the display but it does need maintenance asap

what really should be done is stratum's implementation (my fork) of block solution added to eloipool to stop this from happening so that it will add the actual block's hash to the database to ensure that round ends are discovered properly

which repo link?

I had not been informed that Blakecoin had been ported to eloipool with any fixes for block solution  

Edit:
ahh I see now that's not ported to eloipool yet?  

I had fixed this on my pools by changing the default from null in database

[ahmed_bodi]

nope its not been imported to eloipool but it shouldnt be too hard. although i have an idea about my fork of stratum which i will pm you with since too many people have stolen my ideas

any help is most welcome and I always try to give credit to those who have helped and put in the work to make Blakecoin better

I have updated my ban lists on all server, this will reduce the load on the servers from bad traffic

If you have made it onto the list and can't connect you will need to explain your actions via pm to be considered for the white list (include your IP for reference) else it is a permanent ban

Hi BlueDragon747. I hope I'm not on this list, couldn't think of a reason why I would be but wanted to check.

Also, started getting "Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted" errors on SF1 server, is it having problems? It's been working great all day..

Thanks,
Tom

I was working on SF1 a few hours ago so its me changing some code and settings, a normal user just would not get a ban, the people on list have been DDOS, attempted forced entry, flooding the server and generally creating high load and crashing the servers(not accidental)  

if I reset the pool you will get a 1-5 second "Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted" then it should continue as normal, it is me either changing the software code or I have gone out and set an automatic reset to avoid a crash/down time when I am not about

I am still working to get a more stable code base hence the 0% fees but the pool server do still cost something to run each month so welcome any donations % on pools to help cover costs if you find them useful

Ok, understand. I has settled and looks good now.

BTW: Love the pool, think it's the best I've seen. I have been mining BTC/LTC and a few other the past couple of weeks (still new to this), but this seems a lot better and a lot less stress on the system.

GREAT JOB!!!

Ok, the pool is in open-beta now!

You must download cgminer from the Getting Started page on the pool, the other miners posted on this topic will not work properly!

Please PM me any bug/issue/glitch/suggestion, I will gladly help you

i was looking into open source and inexpensive fpgas, and was wondering what your thoughts on these are regarding blc mining:

LX9 won't give you many MH, zTex 1.15 has LX150...

You can get used ZTEX 1.15y (hashrate around 1.6GH/s) for 100euro. Afaik it should give you higher hashrate (also hashrate/price) than the boards you posted.

I'd like to see where you can find one that cheap (especially an original one instead of a clone) My two recent purchases have been closer to 200 EUR each, including postage. The cheapest offers I've seen were about 150, but it seems the prices are on the rise with a certain lucrative application

Lancelots for sale (more than 10 6 sold) at $160. Maybe thinking of this offer?

[BlueDragon747]

they have a lot and will do wholesale prices here is another listing from same seller if you wanted volume

Edit:
With the above seller dispatch time was quite slow delivery was quick if that makes sense, communications were ok

Note:
its not a ZTEX 1.15y and you need a programmer and the chips are also slightly different, The ZTEX board chips clock at higher fmax

also worth a note is that in UK I had import duty to pay factor that in to any costs

How well do these work for blakecoin. I seem to have killed my CM1. Back of PCB contacted PSU metal fan guard and shorted out.

They work well ~800MH/s with kramble's bitstream I also use the python miner but kramble has done a port for cgminer, they are as good as cm1 e.g 2 boards ~1.6GH/s but slightly slower than ztex 1.15y and you need a program cable "Xilinx USB Cable" can get a cheap one for <$50?

also did you replace/test the fuse on the cm1? (its little white block near usb)
