Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero pool

[archit]

When shall the voting begin? My final submission will come with respect to that.

[perl]

I have make test of new version .

Code:

For make the test, I run instance bitmonerod without network and rebegin in the begin blockchain

J'ai fait un dump de la variable :

I confirmed this issue using a testnet. 

In the pool server:

Code:

2014-05-13 23:20:23 [Pool]	(Thread 3) [Share Validator] Block found at height 4 by miner 46NzdzAX61yeMh1WpLK9eTFQ53uQ72r5TATSNi6T9kV5jn3azyJB1k8iWVpQTjHPRdcc7qLyiUsZsTdzzC9AA5uXNb3jdZb@127.0.0.1

Has it found a block? I highly doubt it's working. Everyone mining there is wasting their hashing power.

I've been testing the pool software on a testnet, it still can't submit blocks. zone117x is still working on fixing it.

[perl]

I have the same probleme .

[zone117x]

Patience everyone 

The coin source is obfuscated and its taking really smart C guys to figure out what's going on. The pool seems very close to being ready.

[perl]

Yes,
I work in test net , I have validate your code with modification.
45445545454.4 is not good value make round
No divise coinbase and other before make payout

If last block is 60 block is less 5 minutes for probleme of time synchronisation simplewallet<->pool<->bitmonerod ( I can not make rpc command for get last block sync in simplewallet ) .

I make the test for 1000 block + 100 forged for random addresse in testnet for finish test payout system.
Wallet 2% and sum of all client is 98%, i not swich to prod if resultat is different of 0.01% ( probleme rounding )

Good jobs ,

Moneropool.com looks good. I miss only one thing from the stats - it would be nice to see the accepted shares and maybe some estimation about the mined coins.

You have make test in test net ?

Alright, as of today I declare the pool software developed by LucasJones and I in a tested, stable, and working state: https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool

The three important features of a pool were all officially working about two days ago: 1) Share distribution and management , 2) Block solving, and 3) Paying out miners.
And as of today several pool ops running our software have confirmed it is working.


On top of building the basic pool that the bounty calls for: we have implemented many other extra, important pool features which are listed here: https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool#features

I'll quote the features here as well:

• IP banning to prevent low-diff share attacks
• Socket flooding detection
• Payment processing (with splintered transactions to deal with max transaction size)
• Detailed logging
• Ability to configure multiple ports - each with their own difficulty
• Variable difficulty / share limiter
• Share trust algorithm to reduce share validation hashing CPU load
• Clustering for vertical scaling
• Modular components for horizontal scaling (pool server, database, stats/API, payment processing, front-end)

• Live stats API (using CORS with AJAX and HTML5 EventSource)
  
  • Currency network/block difficulty
  • Current block height
  • Network hashrate
  • Pool hashrate
  • Each miners' individual stats (hashrate, shares submitted, total paid, etc)
  • Blocks found (pending, confirmed, and orphaned)

• An easily extendable, responsive, light-weight front-end using API to display data
• Worker login validation (make sure miners are using proper wallet addresses for mining)

The github readme has fully detailed instructions on pool usage as well as other useful instructions/information.


LucasJones has also implemented Cryptonight mining into CPUMiner (https://github.com/LucasJones/cpuminer-multi) which is another huge contribution to the community as reliance on simpleminer is a bad position to be in.


I have also built a noob-friendly Windows app to help Windows user's start mining by simply downloading and clicking "start". The pool front-end links to it on the "getting started" page, and pool ops can easily configure the app to automatically mine on their pool once downloaded and ran. Here it is on github: https://github.com/zone117x/cryptonote-easy-miner


LucasJones and I claim first working and verified pool server - along with many additional tools and features along with it. The pool server and other tools are also still in development as we believe in this community & technology, and would like to continue improving these tools to help facilitate the adoption of this technology.

Re: awarding the bounty.

We are waiting for tacotime to come back from vacation before completing the process of evaluating the submissions and awarding the bounty. He said five days, that was 2-3 days ago, so it shouldn't be long. Please stand by.

[zone117x]

No problem

Figured I'd make that announcement here once the pool was confirmed working by several pool ops.

[archit]

Just wait for me before paying out 

[dreamspark]

Its going to be a nice pay out now with the recent rise in price
