Need help for setting btc.com backend

[TeslaWatt.com]

I installed backend from https://github.com/btccom/btcpool

After configuration of all btc.com components and downloaded BTC blockchain I still have miner status '"dead':

Regarding miner pool configuration what shall I enter as username parameter (user or wallet) and how to set link between user and wallet inside backend?

Was your other post deleted? I answered your question on that topic, not sure what happened!!

You need to use a username and not a wallet address, that user name needs to be in your db, I looked into the table name and I forgot it, but there will be user/worker database table, the worker name needs to match with one of the rows in there, only then it will show alive.

As far as connecting that to your wallet, you have to know that you are now running your own pool, so you need to find a block to get any rewards, search the code and you will find "genesis transaction" that's where your wallet address goes to.

May I ask what are you trying to achieve by running your own copy of btc.com?

Given who they are my guess is host their own pool at their datacenters for their customers.

Yes the post was deleted. I don't know why. I am testing different open source softwares. Thanks for your answer I will check db record and will get back to you.

Makes sense, I didn't even bother reading their username, anyway I just wanted to confirm they actually do know what setting up your own pool means, I know some newbies would want to do that to evade mining pool fees.

Probably the admin thought it was spam or something, I hope they won't delete this one too, anyway, check and let me know, if you didn't find it I'll take another look into the backend code on Github.

Can you please tell me how to add user in the db? I found this issue how to insert user in db for testing backend, you can check here: https://github.com/btccom/btcpool/issues/16. And still doesn't work. I don't know how to insert username in db on the another way?

What do you mean it does not work? did you actually make a text file with the name get-user-list.php and saved it in (C:\xampp\htdocs), also is your Apache Server running? I think there is a mistake in the document, file sserver is in this path > btcpool-master\docker\btcpool\test\btc\cfg. So you need to open sserver.cfg with a notepad and go to line 107.

Code:

list_id_api_url = "http://userlist/userlist.php";

change the path to:

Code:

list_id_api_url = "http://get-user-list.php";

This assumes you saved the get-user-list.php file directly in htdocs without a sub-folder, I think the explanation by SwimmingTiger on GitHub is straightforward, he skipped a few things based on the assumption that anyone who gets this far should at least have a basic idea about what they are doing.

*If you don't want to touch the sserver.cgf you can simply create a new folder with the name 'userlist' inside C:\xampp\htdoc and then create the userlist.php inside, this leads to the same result but with a shortcut.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the responding! I created file name "userlist.php" please check my screenshots.

Also you can see we have PHP started on the server. Also I added the same file in the stratum. Please check output. sserver.cfg has only 77 line of code. (I am using Linux OS for the server).

Yes we made. This assumes you saved the get-user-list.php file directly in htdocs (I don't have htdocs on the Linux server). I started PHP with -s lightweight server.

What error does it through? do you get err-msg?

I think your userlist code is incomplete, the count function in php only returns the elements count of an array and not their assigned values, I am not sure how are you passing the user id in the code you posted the screenshot for, could you paste it here so I can have a better look.?

I believe you need to use a for loop to go through workers, can you just use the exact code that SwimmingTiger posted here > https://github.com/btccom/btcpool-ABANDONED/issues/16d

[TeslaWatt.com]

Error is miner status "dead". No accepted works and no accepted hashing. I don't get any specific err-msg.

I am unable to paste php code here in forum but you can see it on the following link:  https://github.com/btccom/btcpool-ABANDONED/issues/16. This is the original post that we found as solution to user list problem and used the exact code SwimmingTiger posted. But I can see here for the first time "ABANDONED" inserted in link on github (it was not there before 7 days).

Please be free to add some php code to existing one in case that you think that you might solve the issue we have.

ِAbonded is for the whole project, it simply means they are no longer maintaining the project, ignore that. but judging from the code on issue #16 I see no reason why it shouldn't work, your code, however, which you posted here > https://imgur.com/v7hu2lm is missing a for loop and doesn't seem to be passing the worked id, is the screenshot outdated or you modified the code?
