My next task is to get a MPOS pool running locally on linux box for private use ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Any tips for configs appreciated ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) When Diamond switched to Groestl, we had hard time, because of several factors: - the traditionally used stratum-mining (in python, recent versions by ahmedbodi) was in hopeless state and required gross hacks to make it work with groestl. I hear it is in better shape now... totally forgot about it myself ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The rest of this ignores this stratum server, but you could use it if you prefer. It should work fine! - it was unknown how to make stratum work. Now this is well known. You need to understand that 'groestl' and 'groestlcoin' are two different things and that GroestlCoin has in fact diverged from the protocol. It uses single sha256, while almost everyone else uses double sha256 for the transaction hashes. Some of the pool software is already aware of this, and has specific settings, like 'normal-hashing' to indicate you are not using that weirdness. - MPOS is only the front-end. It expects that the stratum or pushpool server will insert the shares submitted by miners in the database. Then it would assign shares of the mined block to miners and generate (internal) transactions. In fact, MPOS handles everything but the actual work distribution to the miners. - There is another project, NOMP, which is an MPOS like (but different philosophy) front-end and very good stratum server. It already has support for Groestl ( https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal). It is extremely lightweight -- none of the processes consumes even 1% of an CPU core. As it should -- what the stratum server does is indeed trivial. Here is my definition for Diamond: { "name": "Diamond", "symbol": "DMD", "algorithm": "groestl", "txMessages": false, "normalHashing": true, "peerMagic": "e4e8dbfd", "peerMagicTestnet": "cdf2c0ef" } - Since Diamond requires that you include foundation contribution in every block, you need to set that up in NOMP. The easiest way is to have "rewardRecipients": { "dZi9hpA5nBC6tSAbPSsiMjb6HeQTprcWHz": 4.762 }, in the pool config file. This produces slightly over 0.05 DMD but is bearable.. I hope to revisit this code one day, and do it properly. - You need to enable MPOS mode. There is a nice guide how to configure NOMP otherwise. Hope this helps. OK another problem when I try diamondd getinfo I get an error about authoritative hostname error: resolve: Host not found (authoritative) Not sure what problem is I have /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts configured ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) cloning NOMP git now, I'll forget MPOS and use NOMP in MPOS mode since you seem to be more familiar with it. NOMP up and running ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Heres my reward recipients for Foundation and Donation 1% to pool upkeep ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) (These figures are not adjusted for transmission fee I'll fine tune later) rewardRecipients": { "dZi9hpA5nBC6tSAbPSsiMjb6HeQTprcWHz" : 4.76190477, "dEdj7aH7Pgt3oVAeEFmA46sXCDcZYeiQjP" : 0.95238095 }, Now I gotta find a block or two on it and see if payouts working ... 3 wallets with diff address now (Pool, Donation, Private for minting)

Danbi,
I just noticed there are more than the usual number of orphans showing up on your pool. Is that a precursor to a problem or just something happening that is normal?

Be a week or so of testing NOMP pool before I make it public (making sure payouts working properly) ... gotta cover my costs of mining ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If I get enough interest in pool in western USA then I will get a domain name also. I like the simplicity of NOMP, no registration just use your DMD address as user ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Got vardiff too ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Do me a favor and see if u can connect to http://utahjohn.ddns.net

There is normally no port to be opened (or closed) in order for your router to respond (or not) to ICMP packets. There should however be an option in your router to enable/disable those responses. Usually under the firewall settings. Could also be elsewhere, it really depends on your router brand/model. In mine for example (a TP-Link) it is located in System Tools>>Manage Control>>Service configuration

Of considerable interest: Payout switching ("I want to hold coin X, convert the rest to Y") is still pretty high on the list. I've actually got a proof-of-concept working here, with what is essentially a local embedded exchange (trading coins behind the scenes with other WP users automatically) to avoid exchanges completely. But its far from release ready... Definitely could be something to set us apart though...
Of course this would require groestl algo pool to be added to wafflepool so DMD could be mined and payed out this way ... I am currently alpha testing a private Diamondcoin NOMP pool that I have been working on ... perhaps WP could proxy to my pool once I open it to public use (1% fee) ... Once all is good and working properly I can add other groestl algo coins to my pool on different ports.

Well, there is a price to pay -- roads are not that pretty and local authorities neither, but anything that depends on private initiative is just fine. Anyway, IPs have nothing to do with NOMP ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) You could have tested it within your local LAN.

I don't really understand what you are asking here ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The pool providing enough work, and the wallet having certain number of connections are not related in any way. For example, dmdpool.digsys.bg's wallet right now has just one connection (with connect=). It is very unlikely that NOMP is overloaded, but you could check with 'top' how much of the CPU it consumes.
