[ANN] LEASERIG.NET - rent&hire Quark hashing power!

[kenshirothefist]

And you forgot to mention that this new method with local proxy has way better pool management. The biggest issue with cgminer pools is that it will not save them in config by priority. You may have everything set up correctly in case of rig failures, but you will eventually fail to deliver proper pool order as your customer set. With LeaseRigProxy, this issue is gone, because pool saving is done by priority.

Yeah ... but djeZo, I've already told you that you could actually implement this already - you could simply implement scheduled task (for example every minute) in the LeaseRig to check if the pool priority order, set by LeaseRig, is the same as the pool order in the rented machine. And if it is not, you can reorder pool priority on the rented machine via the cgminer "priority" API call. Of course, to do that, you would have to implement "stored pool list with priority" for renters (for each rented rig) ... this would also be useful in case if rig provider accidentally deletes cgminer conf, etc. That said, you would never synchronize pools rig -> leaserig but always only leaserig -> rig (this is the way it should be because when a rig is rented, all that counts is what renter sets via LeaseRig).

The problem with this is that sometimes providers "correct" pool errors of their customers and help them. If I do LeaseRig pool management, then this will be broken and become an annoying problem. The question that remains is; should LeaseRig take customer as full authority over pools when rig is rented or is does provider have full authority? In both cases of implementation, it brings additional problems and unhappy customers. And I am not willing to make another switch on admin panel to configure this, because we already have many and most new providers are lost due to the amount of configuration possible.

I guess we don't understand each other ... pools management under the POOLS looks like this for the rig provider and for the renter:



All that I'm telling you is to store this locally in your DB, so that is resilient against pool changes in the cgminer itself. Rig provider still has the option to help renter with pools management - he can do it over LeaseRig ... If you would do this there are zero changes in the User Interface, rig provider and renter would both have authority over pools and settings (together with priority, resilience over misconfigured/deleted cgminers conf files, etc.). And this could work the exact same way with the new local proxy ... djeZo, what do you think?

You can't yet, it is in development, soon beta testing.

I have update proxy with 2 features now;
- optional obtaining of speed via cgminer API (you need to configure all your cgminers to use same port; sorry about that, else there is much more coding to link each IP with proper port)
- support for SHA256 rigs (this is basically just different speed calculation if cgminer API isn't used for speed)

You need to have skype + Windows 24/7  machine (can be one of the rigs). PM me your skype if you are interested.

I made a simple python script for all of you that have high count of hired rigs and issues with pools being swapped to backups. This script will periodically (every 10min) issue a command to switch to your primary pool.

Don't laugh, py is not my language, so far did only few simple things in it 

Code:

import urllib2
import urllib
import sys
import time

print "\nLeaseRig.net auto bulk switch to pool"

if len(sys.argv) < 4:
	sys.exit("Only for usage with LeaseRig.net service!\nUsage: LeaseRigUpdateBulkSwitch.py [e-mail] [password] [pool]\nPool is in format: URL@username")

print "Your name is: " + sys.argv[1]
print "Your password is: " + sys.argv[2]
print "Switching to pool: " + sys.argv[3]

url = "http://leaserig.net/index.jsp?page=bulkmanage"
data = {
    'switch': sys.argv[3]
}
data = urllib.urlencode(data) 

print "=========================="

while True:
	try:
		r = urllib2.Request(url,data, headers = {'Cookie':"login=" + sys.argv[1] + "; pass=" + sys.argv[2]})
		f = urllib2.urlopen(r).read()
		if len(f) == 0:
			print "Error!"
		else:
			print "Switch issued!"

		time.sleep(600)
	except KeyboardInterrupt:
        	print "Quitting on request.\n"
        	break

(it is for python 2.7)

Feel free to improve/adjust it to your needs.

If I have 2 rigs in separate location (60km away with different internet provider), will it make sense to Use proxy and rent them as 1 big hashcow ?(customer wise) Will it even be possible ?

p.s. 1 option would make our life easier
- email notification for rig provider/renter (optional) when rig goes offline (I guess it's not hard to implement)

1. It is up to you how "viable" you think it is.

2. This is coming up with next update.

I am making LeaseRigProxy for linux today and introducing new method for providing your rigs.

[Squirreljester]

This may fix the issue I'm having where my rig crashes about an hour after I add it to the leasing site. I'm running Linux Xubuntu 13, and it seems to have happened when I added the save function to my command line. I've since removed it but I haven't added it back into the lease system yet.

News: Add your rig to LeaseRig.net easily now. No more port forwarding, API configuration, static IP needed. Check out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417092.0

Oh thanks be to jebus. Reported speeds were driving me nuts.
This seems to work much much better. Well done!

I am taking propositions of CPU coins. Is there any interest to either provide or hire CPU mining power?

Any future plans to be able to permanently lock a BTC payout address?

I can do that easily. Are you a provider?

I setup LRP on my two rigs and now have one BIG FAT BOB of a rig. 

Ready to rent at 3.65 MH/s!

Nicely implemented, djeZo - a beautifully tight little proxy package.  Now, any chance this baby has an API?  I had written my own web-based monitor based on one by Paxxil, but now that's only somewhat useful since I have no idea what pool is active - even looking at the Proxy doesn't tell me because it only shows current status.

You can view pools via LeaseRig.net admin panel.

I may implement API in future, in case people really start using it. There is plently of room for many kind of improvements on this software.

True, but that is not an auto-refreshing kind of thing, so it's not very useful for automated checks.  OK, yes, I could build something to check the admin site and scrape the info, but that's just ugly.

Now, if I can just get someone to RENT it...

[djeZo]

To all using LRP; I suggest you to regularly check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=417092.0 - I will posting any updates regarding software there.

Front page loads much faster now. Only available rigs are loaded, the other ones are loaded on request. Now, lets scale up to 1000 rigs!
