New mining pool for testing (now closed)

[adv]

When will next run a pool? This is particularly relevant in the context of the problems with the Slush's pool.

I'm trying to build my own small pool which I'd use to gather statistics about the miners I'm deploying. Would that script work for that purpose? I guess that validation is not necessary if I trust my miners, right?

Yes.

Correct.

Maybe someone can help me here to get poold.py setup.

I recreated the database thats needed, but the pool server keeps rejecting all the CHECKWORKs for my own pc using m0mchill's gpu miner. It works fine with bitpenny, but I dont know why its getting rejected. In my client it says work accepted, but on the server in the cmd window it says that it has been rejected, doesnt give a reason, and doesnt give credit.

Here are some screenshots...



EDIT: I confirmed that this is actually CORRECT operation and that credits are only given when a block is found. False alarm.

Also, for anyone who wants to use poold.py, here is the SQL you need to recreate the database to get started...

Code:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;
CREATE TABLE credits (username TEXT, height NUMERIC, type TEXT, v TEXT, datetime NUMERIC);
CREATE TABLE shares (username TEXT, height NUMERIC, datetime NUMERIC, accepted TEXT, datastr TEXT);
CREATE TABLE users (username TEXT, password TEXT);
COMMIT;

PATCH FOR POOLD.PY TO ALLOW SUPPORT FOR UFASOFT'S CPU MINER:

Original - Lines 319 - 323:

Code:

	auth = s.headers.get('Authorization')
		auth_user = checkauth(db, auth)
		if auth_user is None:
			s.send_error(401, "not authorized")
			return

Change to:

Code:

                auth = s.headers.get('Authorization')
                if auth is None:
                        s.send_response(401)
                        s.send_header('WWW-Authenticate', 'Basic realm=\"poold\"')
                        s.send_header('Content-type', 'text/html')
                        s.end_headers()
                        auth = s.headers.get('Authorization')
                auth_user = checkauth(db, auth)
                if auth_user is None:
                        s.send_error(401, "not authorized")
                        return

You still looking for testers? I'm willing to donate a single miner running a 5970 core. What method are you using to share the bitcoins earned?

The pool test has been closed for a few weeks.  I'll update the top post.
