New stratum/getwork proxy with Web-based GUI and pools management

[ocminer]

Did you have any problems with MRR (MiningRigRentals) when testing ?

MRR connects on Port 3333 usually but then redirects me to another Port, lets say 50002, often this redirect does not work so the Pool gets marked as DOWN and tries to reconnect every 5 seconds which still does not work.. A few restarts of the Pool then finally succeed.

If I connect my rigs directly to MRR - no problem.

I have issues with MRR but the other way around: i never succeed to make MRR connect to the proxy when renting hashrate from them. (i was trying to do some "arbitrage" with hash prices, so every time MRR was cheaper than nicehash i would buy MRR to mine on nicehash, sometimes it works, but most of the times it fails with MRR rented rigs not connecting or not hashing on the proxy)

Could you please send me your log file when you try to use MRR ? MRR surely uses the reconnect stratum notification (which should be supported by the proxy), but unfortunately I was not able to test it for real. It may be a bug in the management of this kind of notification.

I looked through a few pages here and maybe i missed something, but does this only work for pools or does this allow you to mine the local wallet too? i know solo mining btc will be unprofitable albeit impossible without petahashes worth of equipment. im just trying to figure out statum-proxy 0.6.0 and setup solo pools to different low difficulty coins wallets. if this is capable, i have yet to figure it out. here is my stratum-proxy.conf file

Code:

{
  "pools" :
  [
  {
    "name" : "coin",
    "host" : "127.0.0.1:xxxx",
    "user" : "coinuser",
    "password" : "password",
    "enableExtranonceSubscribe" : false
  }
  ]
}

the port xxxx isnt the port im using just an example and is the same as my rpc port in the coins conf file. the coin's conf also contains "listen=1" and ive allowed all ip's using "allowip=*.*.*.*" just in case i was messing something up there. however cgminer is able to connect and mine on the same computer, the same wallets, with the same settings no problem.

here is an excerpt from the logfile. it says nothing else and keeps repeating ever 5 secs

Code:

i tried that also - but will not work ...

spreadcoin is the one i tried using this method with - and the straight stratum method ... both of which failed ...

i too would be interested if this proxy would allow solo mining ...

well, for spreadcoin you have two problems:
1- this proxy works with stratum, and solo mining uses "getwork", a different protocol.
2- spreadcoin has severely modified getwork to send a bunch of parameters that are needed for it, but are not present in other coins, so even if this proxy was to support it, it would need lots of changes in order to support spreadcoin.

thanks for the responses
so this proxy only works with stratum pools?

I have sent you all my logs directly as PM.

Hi again,

I am having trouble with the new version. After sometime, it simply disconnects all my workers and does not accept any new connections. Connection to the pool seems to be fine (the log is full of lines saying that a new block was detected). I tried increasing the available memory (-Xmx1024m) but it didn't help.

The logs are available here: http://girino.org/stratum-proxy/stratum-proxy.log.gz

This problem does not happen with an earlier compile i made (the one where i modified the max number of workers), only with the 6.0 build.

possible? what would be the config?

yes - but not 'split' hashing for each pool ... just failover as far as i can see ...

so it will jump from one pool to another to another and then back again once the initial pools come back online ...

its how i run mine farm when i want to rent my hashes out ...

please correct me if im wrong here ...

#crysx

I think you can set-up some kind of load balance mining 5 minutes on each pool round robin style. But i never tried...

ok so how wud be the config and what user and pass should be put into the beta renter?

for the load balance - you need to approach the owner / dev of the proxy ... pm him ...

as for the failover - well - thats actually very easy as there is a sample of the conf in the package ...

#crysx

ok then lets wait for the author for a response

+1 this feature request. Was just looking to see if there was some sort of load balance option rather than just failover when a pool goes offline or a rental ends.

In my config there is a line which specifies "failover" as the setting; but I can't find any documentation on if there are any other options- was hoping that because it is in fact listed as a setting there might be other options (such as load balancing which is what I am hoping for).

If anyone knows; that would be great.

Best open-source proxy ever ! Thank you for posting

[Ninetoe]

im getting worker authorization errors on pools where i append workernames

it only let the first one connect.

is this intended or a bug ?

update :

if i dont append names and just make a new worker for the proxy, it seems to work.

maybe im being stupid and missunderstanding how this feature works
with all miners not using append they also all get the same difficulty

[letuslook]

I receive some errors when having multiple miners + nicehash to my proxy.

Also when i try to verify my pool with nicehash it says:
Error: Extranonce2 size is 3 (minimum is 4).

Is there a way to set the minimum Extranonce2 size in the stratum proxy?

[yslyung]

what weight should i set if i want 45 mins to pool 2 and 15 mins to pool 3 under round robin with 60 mins duration ? pool 1 on all the time if and when it's active, if in active then 45 mins to pool 2 and 15 mins to pool 3. is it even possible ?

found this ... poolMiningDuration = poolWeight * (roundDuration / sumOfWeights)

sumOfWeights = meaning ? total weight used in pool, lets say i plan to use weight 1 &2 so total is 3 ?

tia

[chentron]

weight 3 for pool2 and weight 1 for pool 3

what weight should i set if i want 45 mins to pool 2 and 15 mins to pool 3 under round robin with 60 mins duration ? pool 1 on all the time if and when it's active, if in active then 45 mins to pool 2 and 15 mins to pool 3. is it even possible ?
