[ANN] [SHA256]+[CPU] MediterraneanCoin (MED) - REUSE your ERUPTER!!

[smallplatf]

P2POOL  - https://github.com/mrtexaznl/p2pool

we have released a new EXPERIMENTAL version - but use it with care! read below.
the new version is tagged "v13.4.0.2-MED"

we have introduced some speedups which give very interesting results. The startup times (shares loading) is now extremely fast (a few seconds).

USE WITH CAUTION - It seems to work BUT the speedup modifications can cause bugs - to be tested with attention.

If you want to try it, we suggest that you stop your existing p2pool node, do a full backup of all your existing p2pool directory (including all subdirectories),
and then do a "git pull" to update to the latest version. Then restart p2pool as usual ("run_p2pool.py --net mediterraneancoin").

IMPORTANT: you need to set this parameter in mediterraneancoin.conf:
rpcthreads=48



on linux, you can get this error:

Failure: twisted.internet.error.ConnectBindError: Couldn't bind: 24: Too many open files.

you have to increase the OS limit for open files. google the subject.
For example: http://linux-quirks.blogspot.it/2011/02/too-many-open-files.html

Also we have seen that the worker on port 9375 sometimes breaks and stops responding.... this is possibly a bug from the original p2pool. we are investigating on this. anyway, if it breaks, the new version allows a fast reset.



The previous version, working but very slow, can be found here:
https://github.com/mrtexaznl/p2pool/releases/tag/v13.4.0.1-MED

ou ou ou  after ~3 hours old version load 18000 share  and continue to count   

this must be tested , i'm go to stop old turtle    ;

[smallplatf]

for all the MED miners:

can you fill this form with your mining configurations?
 
small MED gift for who posts accurate information!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ofuIiPu5TIIfNBzCal7E9vGkQKn4ANAtRNc1fp1dEfo/viewform

we need this to focus on issues and improve performance!!! thanx!!!  

thanx to all the people contributing, here are the first results about various ways of mining:

yes! try the new version, but make a backup!!

Please share this configuration:

MINING POOL: bfgminer3.9.0.1 - mcproxy3 - stratum-mining-proxy - mining-pool BFL 30GHS

thanks..

[halabibk]

with this MINING POOL: bfgminer3.9.0.1 - mcproxy3 - stratum-mining-proxy - mining-pool BFL 30GHS

I only get between 10-12 Gh/s

[halabibk]

I am trying to use Ubuntu but some how the network speed is real slow. is this normal... the procedure to use p2pool VirtualBox

[smallplatf]

Please share this configuration:

MINING POOL: bfgminer3.9.0.1 - mcproxy3 - stratum-mining-proxy - mining-pool BFL 30GHS

thanks..

share: you mean on the form? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ofuIiPu5TIIfNBzCal7E9vGkQKn4ANAtRNc1fp1dEfo/viewform

I see you have posted a result for SOLO MINING: bfgminer3.9.0.1 - mcproxy3 - wallet/daemon, should it be changed to MINING POOL: bfgminer3.9.0.1 - mcproxy3 - stratum-mining-proxy - mining-pool?

[smallplatf]

I am trying to use Ubuntu but some how the network speed is real slow. is this normal... the procedure to use p2pool VirtualBox

is your ubuntu instance running in a virtual machine?
how are you measuring network speed?

[halabibk]

I want the config here for the way BFG PXY etc is configured to get high speed mining with the pool.

yes Ubuntu  virtual machine.

[halabibk]

I use this...

But speed is slow 10-12 with the pool. Should be 30-38.

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -d64 -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mediterraneancoin\mcproxy3.jar" -p 8082 -s localhost -a

@echo off
cd \bfgminermed\
mining_proxy.exe -o ibipot.com -p 3333 -gp 8082 -sh ibipot.com -sp 3334 -v
pause

@echo off
cd \bfgminermed\
bfgminer -o http://localhost:8080 -u user -p pass --http-port 8332 -Q 0
pause

@echo off

bfgminer -o http://localhost:8080 -u user -p pass --http-port 8332 -Q 0

PM,  do some test with me

Edit.:
My config:
stratum+stratum-proxy+mpool

mcproxy3+bfgminer

mcproxy args:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java" -jar  mcproxy3.jar  -m 5

configuration look correct.

MediterraneanCoin's PoW is quite different from Bitcoin's Pow (which depends also on CPU power) so the max hashrate you get with ASIC cannot be equal to the max hashrate you get with MED.

Another user has reached 22 GHash (pool side) with a BFL 30 Ghash (how comparable is it to your ASIC?)

the main difference is that he is using his own private php-mpos instance (i.e. he is the only miner and this can influence the pool strategy for diff).

I suggest you setup your own private php-mpos instance and see what changes.

[halabibk]

The speed I really check is the only mention in bfgminer, not the pool that why I believe is a concern...

[halabibk]

Were to run the proxy and bfgminer after create the ubunto virtual pc, in Ubuntu or in the real pc?

[halabibk]

For me speed show real slow in the pool, but seen to work, but I don't like, so I mine solo is more fast with proxy3 and bfg I get from 35-42 Gh/s

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -d64 -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mediterraneancoin\mcproxy3.jar" -p 8082 -s localhost -a

strange I have set up EXACTLY the same as you and I see accepted shares but nothing shows up in the pool. It doesn't even show the worker as active.

Sorry my mistake is like this

@echo off
cd \bfgminermed\
mining_proxy.exe -sh ibipot.com -sp 3334 -oh localhost -gp 8082
pause

[halabibk]

Try it and see, let me know... use bfgminer

[halabibk]

With proxy3 you are going to get a lot rejected share, you can try it mcproxy3.jar and mcproxy.jar.

How was the test???

[halabibk]

I see you working as
