[ANN] Eloipool - FAST Python3 pool server software - GBT/stratum/dyntarget/proxy

[Luke-Jr]

Eloipool - FAST Python3 pool server

• First poolserver to use getmemorypool for internal work generation (note: PSJ and ecoinpool do this too, and announced first)
• Optimized merkle tree generator, does only the minimum required steps to create lots of merkle trees fast.
• Keeps a fixed-size buffer full of up-to-date merkle trees ready to ship off as soon as a getwork requests them
• Builds a fixed-size buffer full of clear (zero transactions, just subsidy) merkle trees ready to ship off immediately with longpoll replies (so miners can start working on the new block even before bitcoind has figured out which transactions to use)
• Support for more getwork extensions than any other public poolserver (update: ecoinpool caught up )
• Uses chunked HTTP transfer encoding to prevent proxy/firewall timeouts on longpoll connections.
• Coinbaser support, along with gotwork, for reliable generated payouts and merged mining
• Asynchronous JSON-RPC server using epoll to optimally handle even heavy loads.
• Interactive Python 3 console so you can inspect and modify the pool while it's running.
• Free software (open source) under the AGPLv3 license!
• Restart pool server (including upgrades) without miners losing work.
• Modular and highly configurable share logging using fast formatting functions, including support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and plaintext files.
• Anonymous or authenticated miner users.
• Support for X-Forwarded-For reverse proxies (and trust controls).
• Dynamic share targetting enabling fractional, power-of-two (zero bit count), and bdiff rounded miner targets.
• gzip HTTP response compression to save bandwidth without sacrificing functionality.
• Support for miners using next-generation getblocktemplate decentralized mining protocol and (pre-BIP draft) stratum mining protocol.
• Experimental support for creating "sub-pools" based on any upstream getblocktemplate server.

Now running live on:

• Eligius
• Eclipse Mining Consortium
• TripleMining
• ...and various private pools

hi Luke

I was excited to see this post as I am always excited to see new pool server software

I am a little confused about this, is it unfinished - or is it just meant to be this way?

I was able to get it working even though - there are no instructions what so ever

(tip if your using Debian or Ubuntu you will probably have to dpkg-reconfigure dash and set it to no - so your using bash as default)

but where does it connect to a db? How do you manage users and shares? I see no support for this anywhere, did I miss it?

Please give us more info - I am really excited about this project!

thanks!!!

[Luke-Jr]

I am a little confused about this, is it unfinished - or is it just meant to be this way?

It will probably always be "unfinished" unless someone steps up to "finish" it. Otherwise, I plan to make it stable and reliable for Eligius's use (which probably involves some cleanup over time), and other pool ops are welcome to add functionality they need (accounts?). In the meantime, most of the code (moved into specialized do-one-thing-very-well Python modules) is working and clean; it's mainly eloipool.py that ties them all together that's a bit of a rat's nest right now.

I was able to get it working even though - there are no instructions what so ever

I figured the README and example config should be enough for most people who know what they're doing... what did you find lacking? (just what was listed below?)

(tip if your using Debian or Ubuntu you will probably have to dpkg-reconfigure dash and set it to no - so your using bash as default)

Hmm, I don't know what would depend on BASH? O.o

but where does it connect to a db?

There is PostgreSQL support for logging shares, but I haven't documented that... <.<

How do you manage users and shares? I see no support for this anywhere, did I miss it?

Eligius doesn't have users, so unless some other poolop/developer wants to add support for accounts, you don't.


In short, this isn't being released as end-user software, but as "this is what I am using" code that others can use and extend. My hopes in releasing this publicly, is that other miners and pool operators will also contribute, and all of us can benefit without each one of us reinventing everything independently from scratch. This is why I chose the AGPL license, which requires anyone running it as a public pool server to release their changes.

[cablepair]

thanks for clearing that up Luke! You never mentioned in your thread it was unfinished, understood now!


if you are using dash by default (debian, ubuntu) you get a /bin/sh Let command not found error
this is fixed by changing default shell to bash

not sure if it has anything to do with it actually working or not, but I hate errors

thanks again for all your contributions

[Luke-Jr]

Sounds like the example config requires BASH for its example coinbaser command. It doesn't make sense to leave that in unmodified.

I thought I might have something I could add to the How To's and Guides Mega List to beef up the Pools category, but it's limited in being able to meet the goals of that thread, which is focused on helping novice users to get involved. Will be nice to include when this fleshes out a little more.

It's usually sufficient to just get the git checkout linked under your eloipool directory.

is eloipool  resistant to this type of sabotage? 


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94392.msg1043633#msg1043633

[Luke-Jr]

No, that problem's inherent in Bitcoin itself.

[tomaszsz]

so any PPS pool is vulnerable not only eloipool  ?

[Luke-Jr]

so any PPS pool is vulnerable not only eloipool  ?

It's not really a PPS-only problem. Any pool is vulnerable period.

[tomaszsz]

and what about  Stratum is it ok ? or GBT  is better ? 

[Luke-Jr]

and what about  Stratum is it ok ? or GBT  is better ?

Stratum is just ASIC-friendly getwork. GBT solves that problem as well as the more important decentralization concern: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getblocktemplate

[DavinciJ15]

and what about  Stratum is it ok ? or GBT  is better ? 

So cgminer does not work with this pool back end?

[Luke-Jr]

and what about  Stratum is it ok ? or GBT  is better ? 

So cgminer does not work with this pool back end?

cgminer still works with getwork. BFGMiner does everything cgminer does and more (including GBT support)

[kano]

and what about  Stratum is it ok ? or GBT  is better ? 

So cgminer does not work with this pool back end?

cgminer still works with getwork. BFGMiner does everything cgminer does and more (including GBT support)

BarbieMiner still works with getwork.

Meanwhile ...

Hmm - well a good example of this so called 'more' is the MMQ driver.

Luke-jr wrote it for BarbieMiner and then sent pull requests to cgminer.
The cgminer pull requests didn't work - and he didn't send the pull requests that fixed that.

... however ... there is only one driver in cgminer that falsifies it's hash rate - the MMQ driver - coz the code Luke-jr wrote for BarbieMiner (and cgminer) falsifies it by up to 5% over and still does in both miners.
(I haven't rewritten the mining loop to fix this yet)
So yeah there's a good example of his 'more' for you ...

Though, cgminer fully supports Stratum ... yet BarbieMiner doesn't ... I guess that's called more also?

Hmm, what dictionary do you use to define the word 'everything' ?

[Luke-Jr]

Just a note that updating Eloipool within the next week or so is critical to surviving the subsidy halving.
Previous code had 50 BTC hard-coded in the "blank" coinbase.

Shhh! I predict at least some pools will have bugs and will continue to pay out as before the halving.

Perhaps, but that won't be helped by pools producing invalid blocks

[Luke-Jr]

Been a while since I first announced Eloipool, so I'm updating the first post with new features

Most notable is support for dynamic share targetting in various modes (fractional, power-of-two (zero bit count), and bdiff rounded).
Combined with GBT, this is what pools need to support ASICs.
Additionally, Eloipool now supports the (pre-BIP draft) stratum mining protocol.
These new features were sponsored by Inaba/EclipseMC.

Also, a little background on the "loop" branch that's been sitting in the repository for a while:
This branch is designed to increase Eloipool's support of the GBT protocol on the upstream side.
Basically, you can run Eloipool as a "sub-pool" to any other GBT-enabled pool.
As of tonight, it is up to date with the final GBT protocol specifications, and works somewhat with both Eligius and BitMinter upstreams.
The main problems left to address are upstream longpolling support and properly dealing with upstreams when sending out the initial new block notifications (currently these produce and accept invalid work).
If you'd like to try this branch out, create a fresh clone of Eloipool and use git checkout loop[/url] to get the loop branch.
Customize your configuration as follows:

• CoinbasePrefix must be reasonably long to avoid collisions with upstream coinbase data.
• WorkQueueSizeLongpoll must be (0, 0) for now.
• It is a good idea to enable DelayLogForUpstream and use {upstreamResult} in your share log.
• Set ExpectedUpstreamLatency to a number of seconds of expected delay between your pool server and the upstream server.

I've been developing this on my own spare time. Donations, bounties, or outright hiring me to improve it is welcome.
General "loop"-related donations can be sent to 14VUob11S77JmrnShEKXPWttg8s6FvW12W.

No, that was (if it's what I think you're referring to) a bugfix; it wasn't actually doing what it needed to be doing.

[TAiS46]

no fix and this moment, does not work

[dreamwatcher]

TAiS46,

I have it running, and with a couple of Alt coins.

You need to completely revert the last commit, That involved taking a section out and putting code back in.

I also disabled some of the more extraneous options in the config file and am running it as a basic GBT pool. The GBT long-polls are right on time, and I haven't see any of my rigs complain yet.

Luke,

I have to admit Luke, I am impressed. After all the crappy and abandoned code that usually involved ancient oddball dependencies I have have spent way to much time on over last few months. Eloipool is a breath of fresh air.

I only lost half my hair going through this code.  

Anyway, Hope you are feeling better and I look forward to further development on Eloipool. I think my next project will be a pool and it looks like it will be based on Eloipool.

[TAiS46]

Hey,

I am not the best in git and linux, can you tell me, how to revert the last commit?
I have just clone the git from github, but it is very old I think.

Eloipool is in Gitorious, not GitHub...

To simply pull the top commit off:

Code:

git reset --hard HEAD^

[mrb]

I have been solo mining against an eloipool instance (revision 475de39) for the last few days, using bfgminer 2.9.3 and 'getwork'. eloipool is configured with a ShareTarget set to 0x0000000000fff... to emulate difficulty 256. I wanted to give this setup a shot before trying the newer Stratum protocol. I thought it would be a robust way to mine, using mature code paths (both at the bfgminer side, and at the eloipool side).

I was wrong.

I solved a block today. I know it because bfgminer currently shows "Best share: 19.5M". However eloipool silently ignored the solved block. There goes 25 BTC...

Furthermore, it is almost impossible to do a post-mortem analysis. I found out that checkShare() in eloipool.py has buggy logging code, so pretty much no useful information has been logged. Indeed, the checkShare.logger object has a default level of 'WARNING', so logfunc() below will never log INFO and DEBUG messages:

Code:

        logfunc = getattr(checkShare.logger, 'info' if blkhashn <= networkTarget else 'debug')
        logfunc('BLKHASH: %64x' % (blkhashn,))
        logfunc(' TARGET: %64x' % (networkTarget,))

Either eloipool silently ignored the block due to an internal bug. Or it crafted an invalid block which was sent to my bitcoind, who in turns ignored it because it was invalid. I am quite disappointed.

In case you care to investigate, Luke, here is my config.py:

Code:

### Settings relating to server identity

# Name of the server
ServerName = 'mrb eloipool'

### Settings relating to server scaling/load

# Share hashes must be below this to be valid shares
# If dynamic targetting is enabled, this is a minimum
ShareTarget = 0x0000000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

# Automatically adjust targets per username
# 0 = disabled
# 1 = arbitrary targets
# 2 = power of two difficulties (zero bit counts)
DynamicTargetting = 0

# How many shares per minute to try to achieve on average
DynamicTargetGoal = 8

# Number of seconds hashrate is measured over
DynamicTargetWindow = 120

# Minimum and maximum of merkle roots to keep queued
WorkQueueSizeRegular = (0x100, 0x1000)

# Minimum and maximum of BLANK merkle roots to keep queued
# (used if we run out of populated ones)
WorkQueueSizeClear = (0x1000, 0x2000)

# Minimum and maximum of BLANK merkle roots to keep queued, one height up
# (used for longpolls)
WorkQueueSizeLongpoll = (0x1000, 0x2000)

# How long to wait between getmemorypool updates normally
MinimumTxnUpdateWait = 5

# How long to wait between retries if getmemorypool fails
TxnUpdateRetryWait = 1

# How long to sleep in idle loops (temporary!)
IdleSleepTime = 0.1

### Settings relating to reward generation

# Address to generate rewards to
TrackerAddr = '1xxx<obscured-address>'

# Coinbaser command to control reward delegation
# NOTE: This example donates 1% of block rewards to Luke-Jr for Eloipool development
#CoinbaserCmd = 'echo -e "1\\n$((%d / 100))\\n1579aXhdwvKZEMrAKoCZhzGuqMa8EonuXU"'

### Settings relating to upstream data providers

# JSON-RPC server for getmemorypool
UpstreamURI = 'http://<obscured-user>:<obscured-password>@localhost:8332'

I solved a block today. I know it because bfgminer currently shows "Best share: 19.5M". However eloipool silently ignored the solved block. There goes 25 BTC...

I doubt Eloipool was the problem in this case. The "best share" code is much newer, and there have been reports of similar behaviour from altcoin solo mining; unfortunately, I don't know any good way to reproduce it. Did you happen to be running BFGMiner with a debug log by any chance? There might be some useful info in there...

Furthermore, it is almost impossible to do a post-mortem analysis. I found out that checkShare() in eloipool.py has buggy logging code, so pretty much no useful information has been logged. Indeed, the checkShare.logger object has a default level of 'WARNING', so logfunc() below will never log INFO and DEBUG messages:

Eloipool's code only configures loggers for DEBUG or INFO... For post-mortem analysis on the pool side, check out the RBFs variable (only kept in memory!) and bitcoind's debug.log. Of course, that's assuming the share ever got to Eloipool, which I suspect isn't the case since you apparently didn't see the info logging from it.

[mrb]

I was not running bfgminer with --debuglog.

I restarted eloipool to change some of its config, so it is too late to look at the RBFs variables.

The only trace of data I have on eloipool is the share-logfile. But I need to write some custom code to re-hash the share data there, to find out if the share hash with a 19.5M difficulty is in there. That's what I am doing now...

[mrb]

By the way, what is the use of GotWorkURI? Shares found from getmemorypool work cannot be submitted via getwork, or can they?

[Luke-Jr]

By the way, what is the use of GotWorkURI? Shares found from getmemorypool work cannot be submitted via getwork, or can they?

GotWorkURI is for merged mining. gotwork != getwork

[mrb]

Well the highest share I found in share-logfile is 2.3M which was the value displayed by bfgminer yesterday. But then again, the code path between the moment receiveShare() is called and when it is logged in share-logfile, is quite complex and it is possible to imagine a bug that would cause the shared to be received, but not logged.

I am surprised about these reports of "Best share" possibly displaying incorrect information. I would think this is a dead simple feature to implement, so why would this be buggy?

[Luke-Jr]

Upon further investigation, I am 99% certain we're looking at a BFGMiner bug here. There are two functions which both recalculate the share/block hash and compare it to a target: fulltest (util.c) and regeneratehash (miner.c). It seems that at least on little-endian, these two functions produce opposite endians for each 32-bit chunk of the hash; in cases where the target is presumably not met, the shares are fed through the share_diff function (responsible for updating the best block) with the opposite endian than it expects. This causes your best block to report something erroneous (or at least it seems this is where the error is). What needs to be done now, is to audit the endian handling in these two functions to determine which one is correct and ideally unify the code into a single function. Hopefully I'll get to that within the next week, but if you want to take a stab at it, feel free...

[mrb]

I am reassured the bug seems to be in bfgminer. I may take a stab at a fix this weekend.

[jgarzik]

Yeah that sounds like a bug everybody inherited from cpuminer, which definitely had rough edges when it came to any target besides the standard difficulty-1.

[mrb]

I confirm the bug. One of my tests shows:

Hash computed by hashtest2():
0000000039d5e400932fef0b1d7cdec1f2833dec594e30ee03252113f03be9b4

Hash computed by regeneratehash():
0000000000e4d5390bef2f93c1de7c1dec3d83f2ee304e5913212503b4e93bf0

regeneratehash() is the one that does not compute it correctly.

But there is a 2nd endianness bug in share_diff() which cancels the bug in regeneratehash (which is why the "best share" is always updated correctly when a new share is found)! This 2nd endianness bug in share_diff() is what causes TNR_HIGH shares to sometimes spuriously increase the "best share" statistic without a corresponding share submitted to the pool.

I have a patch fixing both endianness bugs. I am currently testing it...

[tvasconcelos]

So what's the latest stable release of eloipool that i can use? I've seen some forks in github too, are they good or is better to stick with the one from Luke in Gitourios?
Is eloi good for litecoins? I'm trying to set a private pool but been having a hard time. Tryed ecoinpool, pushpool and i want to give a shot at eloipool. My limited knowledge in programming is giving me some difficulties in setting up the pool, and so little info on how to set it up also. Ecoinpool has a really nice tutorial on how to setup, but it's been unmaintained for quite some time now, and running in couchdb, written in erlang, it's giving me a hard time to setup. The db grows way too big for my available space. Can't get it to use mysql to use a frontend like simplecoin. How about eloipool, are there any good open source frontend that i can use?

Thanks

[tvasconcelos]

Ok, i'm trying to get eloipool with litecoin, and i'm getting this error:

is it danger (someone try to mess (steal 25 BTC? fake shares ?) , or DoS pool ? )  ?or just ignore this messages ?

Nah, I just ignore them. The error is caught and ignored in Eloipool, but logged just in case the admin cares (like when I'm debugging it or BFGMiner )

whish database should I use ? (mysql is useless... exception, disconnections etc.) whish version sql lib should i use ? which do you prefer on jour computer ?

I use sqlite+flatfile for testing, and Eligius uses Postgres. I think EclipseMC figured out the MySQL mess...

Eloipool just handles the miners. It's up to you how you pay them. As long as you log the share target/difficulty, you should be able to calculate the correct PPS value for each share.

[tomaszsz]

but eloipool does not log share  difficult by default ? how to enable  this feature ?

or I have  to swith off dynamic target/difficult (DynamicTargeting =0 ) to get correct PPS calculation ...


or it does not depends from DynamicTargeting  variable, and PPS calculation  (and in fact other method ?) is impossible in eloipool ?

Eloipool doesn't log anything by default. You have to configure it.
Take your pick (add to share log statement - note the difference between curly braces and normal parenthesis):

• {target} - Full target as a number (up to 256 bit; you probably don't really want this)
• {target2pdiff(target)} - Target converted to "pool difficulty" (pdiff 1 = first 32 bits of target are 0, rest is 1; this is what pools used before vardiff)
• {target2bdiff(target)} - Target converted to truncated "bitcoin difficulty" (bdiff 1 = first 32 bits of target are 0, next 16 are 1, then the rest are 0; this is what bitcoind reports as the difficulty)

[tomaszsz]

Some errors/rejects occur before the pool knows the target the share is being submitted at, so those get None.
As you noticed, target2bdiff doesn't like this currently... should be an easy fix.

By the way, what is the use of GotWorkURI? Shares found from getmemorypool work cannot be submitted via getwork, or can they?

GotWorkURI is for merged mining. gotwork != getwork

I think that eloipool need more complex exemple configuration and step by step quick start guide  (in few scenerios ?  ) . Is there any example for merged mining configuration ? Could someone post  some config files ?  I tried to do it, but it is to complicated . just few lines of config from eloipool and bitcoin (altcoin) daemon proxy ?

UpstreamURI ? SecretUser? UpstreamBitCoinNode ?GotWorkURI ? BitCoinNodeAddresses ?

Whish version bitcoind shuld i use ? with merged ? which proxy ?

i have tries many  difrent configuration, and it still does not work....

could someone post example config ? is it possible to get it all together online ?

Howdy,

Was wondering if anyone had tried eloipool on a windows server?  Also, which version of the bitcoind is recommended for the best performance.

[Luke-Jr]

Was wondering if anyone had tried eloipool on a windows server?

"Windows" and "server" don't go together. And no, it won't work on Windows. You could possibly port it to use select(), but that's going to run into scaling problems very quickly. Too bad Windows doesn't have any sane socket polling interface - but I guess that's why it isn't a server platform.

Also, which version of the bitcoind is recommended for the best performance.

Eligius and I think some others are running my 0.6.0.eligius branch, based on 0.6.0.x (but does have even better GBT support than mainline).

[Parazyd]

if You can describe configuration in which you run your test it will be very usefull (eg. bincond ports and bitcoin.conf +  config.py )

[Luke-Jr]

Looks like you need to raise your fd limits (check out man ulimit), and double check your UpstreamURI (or TemplateSources in newer configs)

I will help in the development of eloipool, but I do not know python very well (and certainly not as good as Luke) , for now  I can help in testing

is it ok that stratum server reports different  difficult than client? i have send You PM with detailed description of this issue.

Some clients display truncated bdiff (what bitcoin uses) instead of pdiff (what mining pools traditionally use). Pdiff 1 is about 0.9999 bdiff (and similar for higher difficulties), so truncating as bdiff will show 1 less than the actual difficulty.

BFGMiner uses truncated pdiff, so it will show these correctly.

[Parazyd]

Is the TrackerAddr a valid Bitcoin address.
Do 25 BTC of a solved block go on that address?

Eloipool doesn't support scamcoins like Litecoin.

If you're still getting the error anyway, it looks like it's probably from some ancient version of Python.
As the README clearly states, you need Python 3. To be more specific, I test under 3.1.

When I start ./eloipool.py I get the error that the jsonrpc module isn't found.

That means the bitcoinrpc module isn't installed correctly.

[tomaszsz]

this error still appears , just after starting the program,

Code:

>>> Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./eloipool.py", line 909, in <module>
    MM.start()

    a['name'] = URI2Name.get(a['uri'], defname)
TypeError: string indices must be integers

 and  the program stops

i send config.py to PM  (pastebin )

is it a problem with configuration ? i use the same settings in the  previous version .

Check that all your option lists (especially TemplateSources, TemplateChecks, and BlockSubmissions) have commas after every element (including the last!).

[tomaszsz]

that is true, a have add commas, and now
i get this error

Probably your bitcoind is missing BIP 23 Proposal support.
There is a pull request for bitcoind here. It's also included in the 0.6.0.eligius and 0.8.0.eligius miner releases of bitcoind.
Alternatively, it should be safe to use Eloipool without any TemplateChecks. This is only used to guard against unknown bugs in block creation.

[tomaszsz]

everything look ok  now ( after comment TemplateChecks or  use  0.8.0.eligius  bitcoind branch )  but sometimes this message appears

probably you dont have midstate module (compile this from source file midstate.so needed )
and no sql libs pymysql etc (install python modules)

You need to install the python3 psycopg2 module.

sudo apt-get install python3-psycopg2

or

sudo aptitude install python3-psycopg2

As this is the - interesting - open source backend.. Is there also an open source frontend based on this pool software and php / mysql ?

Use the latest cgminer 2.11.2

[Danilo]

I have the following problem:

Eloipool works. When I work through the 8999 JSONRPC address everything is working properly
and is recorded into a MySQL database and file as well (share-logfile).

Only when I go through the stratum on port 3333 miner is working and counting shares
but nothing is recorded, not even in the database or the share-logfile.

Is there something special to be adjusted???

Thanks in advance!

[tomaszsz]

any upgrade of eloipool needed  ? because of stratum and custom bitcoind branch (0.8.0.eligius  )  and "bug"   ?   

[Luke-Jr]

bitcoind 0.8.0.eligius shares the bug with normal 0.8.0.

Eloipool should work fine with 0.6/0.7.

[DBordello]

If TrackerAddr is not defined, will the bitcoind provide a generation address?  Ideally I'd like to provide a new address for each block.

[Parazyd]

No, you have to set an address.

[Luke-Jr]

Eloipool is only for python 3.x but the config module it requires is only for python 2.x...

I think you're confused.. the only config "module" is the config file you have to write yourself (possibly based on the included example).

I have one quick question about config.py.

Does TrackerAddr have to be set to a wallet address in bitcoind or can I set it to any address to receive the rewards?

I'd hate to lose rewards.

[dreamwatcher]

Any quick answer answer on how to suppress the error :

Code:

TypeError: _stratum_mining_subscribe() takes exactly 1 positional argument (

I have tried in a number of places in stratumserver.py to use a :

Code:

if (e.StratumErrMsg.find ('TypeError: _stratum_mining_subscribe() takes exactly 1 positional argument ')):
            pass

Type of code to suppress the error from being reported.

Either it does not work or I accidentally end up suppressing a needed RPC result.

Where is it safe to suppress this particular error from showing on screen?


Figured it out:

In stratumserver.py:
Line 108-109

Code:

if not hasattr(e, 'StratumQuiet'):
		self.logger.debug(fexc)

Change/add:

Code:

if not hasattr(e, 'StratumQuiet'):
	if fexc.find('takes exactly 1 positional argument') == -1:
		self.logger.debug(fexc)

Not the prettiest solution, but for some reason I was having a problem with making the first 'if" statement as a compound statement that would work correctly.

I do not see the need to present this on git, as it is a fix for a non-fatal temporary annoyance type issue. Though I will put in a request if Luke asks, or he is free to change and add as he sees fit.

[voidale]

I can finally post, Don't have to spam Luke via PM's! And this might be useful for everyone else as well. I was wondering will Eloipool.py will use all CPU cores, Or I have to use something to make sure it does? Looking to balance the load for it. And any tips on how balancing the load on the ports and some optimizing tips?


edit: How can I see Mh/s stats? And what should I use as a miner username the bitcoin address? I'm using random name and it generate shares with no issues is this fine or I must use bitcoin address as a username in my miner?

[AxelMi]

Sometimes i have in the Sharelog :

Code:

1366382986.688058 ::ffff:192.168.178.11 Tester N - high-hash 00000002455625af0d541dbc1b0a5b178522ec1c2f4529d768622586000000dd00000000318ba5ab5df7fcc99e6c55904d245306e74095e39a678cfa0eab1618ec30cfd15171593d1a01de948933c68e

It is defined in the Stratumprotocol , but what does it mean ?

[Luke-Jr]

Is there a particular OS/Python version you have been successful with?

I run Gentoo  + Python 3.1 or 3.2.

Another possibility (more likely perhaps) is that you miscompiled the midstate module for your system... be sure to check CFLAGS in the Makefile.

Alright I got to a new point in my install.

As far as I can tell UpstreamBitcoindNode is set correctly in config.py:

Code:

Is there something I'm missing?

Hi I've installed bitcoind, got all blocks, installed eloipool and set it up. I've used https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0;all as a guidance. Now I have the problem, eloipool and bitcoind are running, but eloipool does not respond at all.. I've tried several ports, usernames, no usernames, different miners, it just does not respond.

Is there something big I am missing?

should I set something additional in eloipool or merged mining proxy ? to get merged mining BTC + NMC work  ?

I use bitcoind  'version' => 80100, 'protocolversion' => 70001,
and
namecoin  [version] => 35000,

maybe i should  run other version namecoin  ?

[Luke-Jr]

It's not a proxy. Miners continue to talk to Eloipool.

[tomaszsz]

It's not a proxy. Miners continue to talk to Eloipool.

idont understand your suggestion


maybe it should be


1)
client minrer <--->  mining proxy <--> eloipool  <---->   bitcoind
                                    |
                                     | -------> namecoind ?



or


2)

client miner  <---->  eloipool <----->    mining proxy <----> bitcoind
                                                                 |
                                                                  | ---->   namecond




mining proxy need setworkaux so i think 1) will be ok  ?

so why in first scenario i get errors on client miner ?

No.

Miner talks to Eloipool.
Eloipool talks to bitcoind and MMP independently.
MMP talks to namecoind.

[tomaszsz]

Miner talks to Eloipool.

ok it is easy

MMP talks to namecoind.

ok, thats easy too but

Eloipool talks to bitcoind and MMP independently.

which params (MMP url, MMP host, MMP port ? )

in eloipool makes that eloipool talks to MMP ? 

or my configuration

Can anyone tell me how do I upgrade eloipool to latest release?

found old pantehicon's fix!
A quick fix is to decode the bytes into UTF-8. On line 72 of bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py change:

Code:

Code:
self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair)
to read:

Code:
self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair).decode()

Hope this helps

If your default shell was BASH, you wouldn't get that result.

You can see eloipool receives the new block notification, attempts to build the merkle tree using the transactions from GBT but then times out.

It's almost 50 seconds later the new block is pushed to the clients.

Any idea what is causing this error?

ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

Its caused by a failed authorization. I tried to print the AuthHeader and got this as result: "Basic b'dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA=='"
If I put the string (without the b') directly into __auth_header it works flawlessy.

I also tried python3.3 with the same result.

[ppcko]

Quick and dirty fix? Works for me.
Add .decode() to the following line (authproxy.py):

Code:

self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair).decode()

The GBT timeout issues are solved with bitcoin 0.8.2, best to upgrade.


Yes 0.8.2 hasn't been released yet.  But all pools have backported the related fix(es) in order to solve this problem already....

Or just use an existing pool

Hi, i am new to Python, started to learn it recently.
I have got  Eloipool  from  https://gitorious.org/bitcoin/eloipool/commits/master

But there is no instructions on how to setup it on hosting server in README.
Also, does it support Litecoin mining?

What i am supposed to see is the site with frontend like http://eligius.st/~gateway  (i know html/css3, so i need only up and running soft as site on hosting - then i will customize it)

FWIW, I don't intend to provide general support for patchsets which haven't even been proposed as merge requests yet (though anyone else is welcome to).
Hopefully this will encourage people to submit their changes upstream

OK - i got rid of this strange message - it was just problem with python...

Bu i have a general problem with configuration: ShareTarget value is totally unclear for me and I used several calculators and can't get expected results as minimal difficulty. Can anyone help me with this?

feeleep

For pdifficulty 1, you want 0x00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff; divide this by the desired difficulty for others.
For bdifficulty, it's the same, but based on a truncated value, 0x00000000ffff0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

If you enable dynamic targetting though, this is just a minimum, so I'd leave it at pdiff 1.

I'm trying to setup eloipool to replace my old pushpool install and I'm having a real hard time fixing an error that most ppl seem to have gotten past.

'No JSON object could be decoded'

I've tried 2 different builds of bitcond to connect to with eloipool but it always, always, always tells me that 'No JSON object could be decoded'.

These are the bitcoind builds I have compiled and run without any issues (connected to testnet) all RPC settings are correct and working as far as I can tell (Pushpool connects fine with the same RPC settings)

• the standard - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
• the precompiled sourceforge build - http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.2/bitcoin-0.8.2-linux.tar.gz/download

I've also followed these steps to build the source when all else failed - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=162788.0
I cant currently get the ubuntu ppa to download correctly so I haven't tried that one yet.

I've tried the few fixes that I have seen posted, like adding .decode() to the end of line 72 in authproxy.py, i've also tried rebuilding each one of the bitcoind's I downloaded and each time it always gives me the same error, I'm going crazy here trying to get eloipool to accept the returned JSON object from bitcoind.

What could the issue be?

Any Updates on this error ?

[kinlo]

I have Eloipool up and running on Testnet.

When I find a block I receive this message in the log file:

Code:

2013-05-20 17:21:33,131	blockSubmission	DEBUG	Upstream 'primary' accepted block
2013-05-20 17:21:33,241	redflag	CRITICAL	Upstream 'primary' block submission failed: rejected

However, it appears the network has accepted the block.

Any ideas why I'm getting the "redflag" message?

Eloipool tries to submit the block at least three times.  So you *should* get this error.  it is indeed a bit confusing, but that is how it works.

Hi Luke,

how do I get the block height into the coinbase? Let's say, CoinbaserCmd is not really "well" documented ;-)

It's always in the coinbase. CoinbaserCmd controls payouts.

# To make a log file:
# LogFile = 'filename.log'

# For a rotating log file:
LogFile = {

Fixed, had to checkout at commit 770881c8bd9b1f92427290270b37a28751cf9df0 of python-bitcoinrpc.
Is there a way to have the python-bitcoinrpc git updated to the latest commit and still get it to work with eloipool?

No, this is a bug in python-bitcoinrpc and has to be fixed there.

[hahahafr]

How to estimate the current hashrate of the pool? Is already some stats somewhere?

[hahahafr]

Or do I have to somehow calculate it with the accepted shares logged?

You're right I simply didn't run python3 when I ran the command, but this is what I resulted with:

ImportError: No module named jsonrpc

So, I found https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113730.0

But nothing in there has helped me out. Blockchain is up to date and current.  Symlink is done but I'm not even able to run the setup.py in the python-bitcoinrpc directory.

How do i install the python-bitcoinrpc and python-base58 ?
Thx

It's usually sufficient to just get the git checkout linked under your eloipool directory.

What does "linked" mean exactly? Should I just git clone them while inside eloipool directory?

[Luke-Jr]

That's a recent bug in bitcoinrpc. Please report it to that project.

[Groc]

Anyone using Eloipool with a Raspberry Pi?

[Trongersoll]

What would be the minimum hardware requirements for running this as a private pool? assume ubuntu 12.4 server as a host. Could a 10 year old pentium dual core 2.0Ghz run this? would extra RAM help?

[Inaba]

Depends on how big your pool is.  I would say a dual core with 8 GB of RAM would work for a small pool.   It's very ram hungry.

Hit return... that >>> prompt is your console.

Means nobody is connected to your pool.

As Luke indicated, "nobody to longpoll" is normal for pools without getwork/getblocktemplate (GBT) users.

As Luke indicated, "nobody to longpoll" is normal for pools without getwork/getblocktemplate (GBT) users.

I just realized Luke responded. The first reply confused me, but Luke's cleared it up. Sorry. Thanks again!

[agibby5]

I keep getting the following error repeatedly.

Ideas?

[golonka]

is is possible to sig generated blocks with additional message eg. 'block generated by ...'
whichh command should i use ?

[juhakall]

What could be causing these errors? I've been using eloipool without encountering this before.

I think have set the proper variables to use varrdiff however the pool still asks for diff 1 shares. I have a 30Gh/s BFL with it's own username and the pool runs nearly at 50Gh/s the rest of the hashes are on 5 Erupter sets ~8 Erupters per block each hub with it's own username. I think I should be producing enough shares to change the diff for most usernames. but it is steady at diff 1.  any ideas?

 

Code:

### Settings relating to server scaling/load

# Share hashes must be below this to be valid shares
# If dynamic targetting is enabled, this is a minimum
# diff 1: ShareTarget = 0x00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
# diff 2: ShareTarget = 0x000000005fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
# diff 3: ShareTarget = 0x000000004fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
ShareTarget = 0x00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

# Automatically adjust targets per username
# 0 = disabled
# 1 = arbitrary targets
# 2 = power of two difficulties (zero bit counts)
DynamicTargetting = 2

# How many shares per minute to try to achieve on average
DynamicTargetGoal = 8

# Number of seconds hashrate is measured over
DynamicTargetWindow = 120

Same problem here.

My miner connects to the pool, pool sets diff to 64. After a minute or so diff drops down to 1.

Please advice!

It looks like the exception message to the cannot send request exception is "request-sent" which seems like the exception isn't valid.

The exception I was getting with bitcoinrpc was addressed by following jgarzik's steps in the avalon/eloipool thread... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0

eloipool setup
...
python-bitcoinrpc       https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc
...
2) For python-bitcoinrpc, check out an older release,

Code:

$ cd /repo/python-bitcoinrpc
$ git checkout -b solo-mining 770881c8bd9b1f92427290270b37a28751cf9df0

So... that part is good. I keep getting the following exception though.

I am wondering if I should be concerned that eloipool won't be handling winning shares correctly.

Anyone work around this?

[FoldingTime]

I was getting the same error and commented out ShareTarget and GotWorkTarget and now working correctly.

Thanks for posting your work around.

[agibby5]

How would I go about setting up multiple instances of eloipool on one server for multiple crypto coins?  I'm guessing there is a problem with sending signals to the eloipool process if there are many running... for example.

Is this a setup issue? Or is this a code issue?  Has anyone else seen his?  Everything else seems to work properly, but then I get this error all the time. I'm not sure if I'm getting blocks or not.  I'm using this pool software for Alt-SHA256 coins... I just started this up again yesterday and I haven't seen any payouts yet.  This makes me worried.

I am wondering if I should be concerned that eloipool won't be handling winning shares correctly.

Anyone work around this?

Is this a known issue?

[agibby5]

Also, how hard would it be to add share log file rotation? Mine grows out of control.

I tried to use the same mechanism as I use for the regular log file and it doesn't appear to be working...

I keep getting the following error repeatedly.

Ideas?

Is this a setup issue? Or is this a code issue?  Has anyone else seen his?  Everything else seems to work properly, but then I get this error all the time. I'm not sure if I'm getting blocks or not.  I'm using this pool software for Alt-SHA256 coins... I just started this up again yesterday and I haven't seen any payouts yet.  This makes me worried.


EDIT: looks like someone else has seen this...

I keep getting the following exception though.

I had this four times overnight.

[agibby5]

How would I go about setting up multiple instances of eloipool on one server for multiple crypto coins?  I'm guessing there is a problem with sending signals to the eloipool process if there are many running... for example.

I figured this out on my own.  I don't know if this is the right way, but I copied and renamed my eloipool-server folder and changed the name of the eloipool.py file and made sure my newblock script was sending the message to the right process name and it workes fine!

[aTg]

Hi Luke, I installed eloi and it works perfectly, my question is, how can I make the rewards go only to the user who submitted the winning hash, I understand it has to be configured in diff1 to two different people not working in the same hash but how?
Thanks in advance.

[danny1987]

Hello,

I've installed eloipool and everything is working fine except for one thing, my miner stays at difficulty 0. Is there some setting I did wrong or is there some extra configuration needed for vardiff to work ?

Thanks for the reply!

Regards,

Danny

[FoldingTime]

Restart pool server (including upgrades) without miners losing work.

Can someone let me know how to restart the pool server without miners losing work?

Many thanks.

From what I can make out the checkShare fails to handle the share being passed but not sure other than that.

so... no scrypt support?

# A common mistake is to put an option list (such as TemplateChecks,

# For example (this is WRONG):

# Without the final comma, should the option list ever have only one item in

On which network are you trying to mine?

eloipool only supports sha256, basically only bitcoin is supported.

Your miner is configured to use scrypt, which is used by litecoin and various other crypotcoins.  eloi does NOT support scrypt...

Perhaps you want to correctly configure your miner?

Its running on bitcoind, though once I figure it out I will be hotwiring it for other coins.
I am not sure about how it is configure for the network, none of the tutorials referenced that specifically.

[greatbotboy]

I followed the directions and I get no errors. Port 8338 comes live and can be seen via netstat.

gentoo001 home # ./minerd -o stratum+tcp://192.168.1.8:8338 -u admin -p butthole -q

Given your configuration:

# Addresses to listen on for JSON-RPC GBT/getwork server
JSONRPCAddresses = (
        ('', 8337),
)

# Addresses to listen on for Stratum mining server
StratumAddresses = (
        ('', 3334),
)

# Addresses to listen on for Bitcoin node
# Note this will only be used to distribute blocks the pool finds, nothing else
BitcoinNodeAddresses = (
        ('', 8338),
)

Your miners should connect to:
8337 for GBT/Getwork
3334 for stratum

You miner should be something like (sorry not too familiar with minerd):

./minerd -o http://192.168.1.8:8337 -u admin -p butthole -q
or
./minerd -o stratum+tcp://192.168.1.8:3334 -u admin -p butthole -q


8338 is a listening port for your bitcoind to connect to. You need to add a line to the configuration file for bitcoind. If eloipool and bitcoind are not on the same server you need to put the IP of the box running eloipool.
addnode=127.0.0.1:8338

Thanks,

jgarzik did a little step-by-step guide here. I've used it, it works.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0

Or you can use zero-asic's Install script. I've used it as well it also works.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=171782.0

As for a support site, bitcointalk.org is as good as it gets.

I usually get this when I restart my pool server, eloipool starts and bitcoind hasn't finished starting up.  Is your bitcoind still downloading blocks?

I tried different scenarios. Waited for bitcoin to finish syncing. Tried to restart. Start bitcoin wait for a while and start eloipool.
Everything behaves the same way.

Hmm, all of a sudden started to work. And I think I am very sad... I just missed a block

Does it mean that there is a block available for the pool? The miner is running, why is it not picking up tje block?

I'm assuming you are referring to this.  This just means there has been a new block found by the network, not your pool. bitcoind is notifying eloipool of the new block.

Your miner is configured to use scrypt, which is used by litecoin and various other crypotcoins.  eloi does NOT support scrypt...

Hi, is this patch helps me to support scrypt https://gitorious.org/bitcoin/luke-jr-bitcoin/source/8f3f29550c2ad33f5635799ba835276eaebb4a2e:contrib/merged-mine-proxy ??

eloipool only supports sha256, basically only bitcoin is supported.

all cryptocurrency sha256 is supported ? or ONLY bitcoin ??
Thank you.

[agibby5]

Thank you.

alt sha256s work well too. you need to change the UpstreamNetworkId in the config though to match the alt.

Code:

# Network ID for the primary blockchain
# Other known network IDs can be found at:
#     https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification#Message_structure
UpstreamNetworkId = b'\x0b\x11\x09\x07'  # testnet3

Let say i need to run bitcoin and continuum, all sha256 based.
I need to run 2 separate copies Eloipool?

I installed Eloipool and all its required dependencies. I tried eloipool on two different machines with the same problem. I get two errors.

The first error is when bfgminer connects over straturm on port 3334:

Code:

2014-02-19 16:43:02,707	StratumServer	ERROR	Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.push(self.server.JobBytes)
AttributeError: 'StratumServer' object has no attribute 'JobBytes'

The second type of error that appears whenever I Start the server and floods my screen repetitively is

Code:

Is the TrackerAddr a valid Bitcoin address.
Do 25 BTC of a solved block go on that address?

Yes, put your BTC address in there.

I've solved some of the issues I had already with this thread (thank you very much guys).

Once I get this sucker running without errors I plan on helping out (if thats alright with you luke-jr) by documenting the whole process thoroughly. Also eventually working on a basic frontend.

I use this PPA, for my ubuntu box. It doesn't produce any errors for me.

Luke-Jr seems to think this is a problem with the bitcoind rpc.  I see this error when bitcoin isn't up to date or still starting.  the first error I've not seen before.

So is there a specific build of the bitcoind rpc that works works?

I use this PPA, for my ubuntu box. It doesn't produce any errors for me.

Interesting, I just checked my repo and I'm using the same one you are (Also ubuntu user)

Weird.. Other than a couple extra signals, for restarting and stopping, my eloipool is unmolested.

Code:

So do you just get the new block notifications and the standard longpools in your logfile?

[greatbotboy]

Yup.  Nothing out of the ordinary. Unless as I've said before I have just restarted my server.

[whitehathacker]

Well, I did a reinstall and currently the only error I'm getting has to do with PyMySql (for share logging).

This is interesting because I havent changed any of it.

This is a known bug in pymysql. You have to modify pymysql, I can't remember exactly what line or file but I remember finding the solution in a google group somewhere.  I found it with a little googling.

Thats the funny thing though, it WAS working. I am not much of a PHP-fu master to use the data yet, but I knew that was the best way to utilize it for the future.


Also, an update: I started screwing around with things due to the bitcoinrpc bug and fucked up everything so I started from scratch again. Its ok though, since i'm documenting what works for me the more I struggle the easier it will be on others.

I got an error:

Code:

makeCoinbaseTxn	ERROR	Coinbaser failed!

then i do some debug
line 105 in eloipool.py raise an error

Code:

nout = int(p.stdout.readline())

I guess CoinbaserCmd is invalid, then i run the command in terminal

Code:

echo -e "1\\n$((%d / 100))\\n1579aXhdwvKZEMrAKoCZhzGuqMa8EonuXU"

the result is:

Code:

bash: %d / 100: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "%d / 100")

any ideas?

My guess would be a non-BASH default shell...

I found the reason

Code:

p.stdout.readline()

return

Code:

b'-e 1\n'

My default shell is Bash，I use Python 3.3.1 on Ubuntu

If your default shell was BASH, you wouldn't get that result.

i have the same with BASH, python 3.2 , on ubuntu 12.

commenting CoinbaserCmd, may help but it isn't good solution...

I can verify this. I switched my shell to bash and ran the same command. Same issue.

[whitehathacker]

With all of your help I was able to put this guide together

[whitehathacker]

I solved the PyMySQL issue. I updated my thread and put it in there.

Awesome good work WHH!

[whitehathacker]

Every now and then I see this in the log:

Code:

2014-03-03 01:53:05,041 StratumHandler  DEBUG   Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/eloipool/networkserver.py", line 47, in handle_read

  File "/usr/lib/python3.2/asyncore.py", line 384, in recv
    data = self.socket.recv(buffer_size)
socket.error: [Errno 113] No route to host

Or this:

Code:

    data = self.socket.recv(buffer_size)

Is this normal? Also, how are you guys calculating hashrates? The sharelog isnt providing much information in terms of hashrates. Should we be deducing this from the "shares" table and "time" column? If so, how are you doing this (in PHP if possible, if not thats fine)?

[greatbotboy]

I can't comment on the error, I've never seen it.

As for the calculation of speed (in php even):

Code:

$shares = 200; //Number of shares of a given time.
$timeLen = 10; //The given time in seconds.


$hashrate = pow(2, 32) * $shares / $timeLen;         //85899345920
$hashrate = $hashrate / 1000000000;                   //85.899345920
$hashrate = round($hashrate, 2);                        //85.9

returns 85.9 which is 85.9 Gh/s

1000000000 could be changed to:
1000000000000 for Th/s
1000000 for Mh/s
1000 for Kh/s

However if using VarDiff you need to modify your DB and config.py to log the Minimum difficulty of each share a 2 diff share = 2 shares, 32 diff = 32 shares.

Or you can join my pool... just saying.

Thats awesome, I appreciate that. How are you pulling shares per time length though? I understand grabbing a specific item in a column in a table, but over a specific time frame? Are you doing a comparison with the time column?

EDIT: Here's a new one for you:

somewhere around line 72

Code:

self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair)

to read:
Code:

self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair).decode()

Unfortunately, and not knowing how to code at all(Close friend who does do a lot of coding and away overseas at the moment) has actually banned me form coding, apparently I am 

"a menace to all society if I attempt to code")

The closest line to the answer above is

Code:

   self.__auth_header = b'Basic ' + base64.b64encode(authpair)

I added the ".decode" as instructed above to this

Code:

   self.__auth_header = b'Basic ' + base64.b64encode(authpair).decode

But this prevents the miner form connecting or finding the pool at all. 

I have spent hours on this, and have exhausted my frustration..

Could anyone assist with this.   

Cheers

Have just finished installing and setting up. Managed to get through everything reasonably well.

Started mining via the testnet to confirm all is functioning only to get this error below

Found the answer (I thought) over here on this awesome post...
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495542.0
being

A known fix is to change the line in python-bitcoinrpc/bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py
somewhere around line 72

Code:

self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair)

to read:
Code:

self.__auth_header = "Basic %s" % base64.b64encode(authpair).decode()

Unfortunately, and not knowing how to code at all(Close friend who does do a lot of coding and away overseas at the moment) has actually banned me form coding, apparently I am 

"a menace to all society if I attempt to code")

The closest line to the answer above is

Code:

   self.__auth_header = b'Basic ' + base64.b64encode(authpair)

I added the ".decode" as instructed above to this

Code:

   self.__auth_header = b'Basic ' + base64.b64encode(authpair).decode

But this prevents the miner form connecting or finding the pool at all. 

I have spent hours on this, and have exhausted my frustration..

Could anyone assist with this.   

Cheers

You have to add the () to the end of decode.

In programing, parentheses "()" is where you put the input for a function or identifies a function. Because the "decode" is a function, it requires that parentheses at the end.

I'm overseas right now as well, but the magic of the internet allows such collaboration :-)

G'day WHH,
Thanks for the reply..

The missing brackets were a slackness in my cut and paste skills.

Just to be sure I went back and redid everything, but came up with the same result. With or without the brackets in there I cannot connct to Eloipool, but without the ".decode()", I can connect, but recieve the error..

Cheers

OK, Got it running.
Appears I had to but some details in teh config that I missed.. 

So now. when it finds a block should it show as rejected??
Also there is an error that seems to be random. It's also in the log.

We are using the testnet to test this.. just unsure

Thanks..

Anyone able to confirm submissions to the testnet should  or shouldn't be rejected.

I'm Trying to setup an eloipool server, and have successfully got it running, but wanted to see if anyone could explain some of the items available in the configuration as despite a bit searching I havnt been able to find an answer......

ShareTarget = 0x000000000fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

GotWorkTarget = 0x00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

What is the difference between share target and got work,  and with that in mind should

GotWorkURI = ''

Be pointing to bitcoind or is got work for merged mining?

and finally

SecretUser = ""

what user should go here? bitcoin, altcoin, server?

Thanks

[Inaba]

Share target is the bitcoin share difficulty.  Gotwork target is the merged mining share difficulty to pass along to namecoind. GotworkURI is the URL to the merged mining proxy you have setup.

SecretUser is the username for the mining proxy/namecoind.

[Aldur1]

Fantastic, Thank you.


I had a feeling it was something like that but just wasn't..

[cryptophoenix]

The exception I was getting with bitcoinrpc was addressed by following jgarzik's steps in the avalon/eloipool thread... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0

eloipool setup
...
python-bitcoinrpc       https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc
...
2) For python-bitcoinrpc, check out an older release,

Code:

$ cd /repo/python-bitcoinrpc
$ git checkout -b solo-mining 770881c8bd9b1f92427290270b37a28751cf9df0

So... that part is good. I keep getting the following exception though.

Code:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am wondering if I should be concerned that eloipool won't be handling winning shares correctly.

Anyone work around this?

Did you ever get a solution for this?
LukeJr -- any ideas what causes this?

[jeppe]

Is it possible to get this working for a ppc pool??
Thanks,

Hi Luke, everyone,

With individual miners using their own miningware at home becoming less feasible with every rise in the difficulty level, more and more people are moving to cloudmining platforms. This has the effect of centralizing Bitcoins Network, something that those of us who care more about Bitcoins potential than we care about just making a profit, should have serious concerns about. This issue was one of the main reasons that I founded SWMC. I am always been concerned over threats to Bitcoins Decentralized Network. SWMC is in the process of creating a Hashing Exchange and to help solve the potential threat to Bitcoins Network, SWMC will be offering its users the choice of pointing their mining hashes anywhere they want, or even solo mine if they wish.

This is one of the solutions that I came up with was to address this potential threat using SWMC's Hashing Exchange:

Use a "Master Mining Pool Server" that acts not only as a mining pool, but as a router to other mining pools (including p2p mining pools.)  In order to allocate hashing power owned by a SWMC Hashing Exchange users to any mining pool that they request (an essential element to making this work), the "Master Mining Pool Server" would need to dynamically divide the total hashing power available to it, into as many little chunks as possible and also dynamically direct/redirect the hashing power to the requested pool. Solo mining could be achieved by creating a "Personal Mining Pool" for each user and then have the Master Mining Pool Server direct/redirect the hashing power to their Personal Mining Pool. The Personal Mining Pool owner could also share their personal mining pool with their friends or partners. Personal mining pools could easily be used and would be perfect for crowdfunding projects. It would be a nice way to create a "Kickstarter" like service using the hashing power to fund the projects! Executive Decision: SWMC will make it easy to create and donate to Crowdfunding Projects and this feature will be built into SWMC's Hashing Exchange platform.  (I am never happier than when I think of a great idea that will help people achieve their dreams. )

So here is the question, would it be feasible to modify Eloipool to serve as a "Master Mining Pool Server," or would it be better to create a modular system that used individual instances of "Direct/Redirect Hashing Moduals"  (or a mixture of both) to feed work to the individual Wasps? (I am a member of The Wasp Project Collective and SWMC will be using our design to populate SWMC's mining farm.)

I have offered 25% of all trading fees from SWMC's Hashing Exchange as payment to anyone who contributes to the development of SWMC's Hashing Exchange. Too date, as I have found someone to design the website and exchange, there is only 10% still available. Since having something like the "Master Mining Pool Server" that I have described is essential to the success of my vision for the Hashing Exchange, I am willing to allocate the rest of the 10% remaining to anyone willing to help SWMC build this system. I will also commit to making all the code for the Hashing Exchange and "Master Mining Pool Server" available with an open source license, once SWMC has been operating successfully for 6 months (just to give SWMC a chance to establish itself before going open source.)

[Luke-Jr]

That sounds even more centralised than mining already is.

[Inaba]

What's this got to do with Eloipool?

Mining is already centralized, there's only about 12 miners on the network at the moment.  Cloud hashing farms will help to decentralize the currently ultra-centralized mining.  If you are mining into a pool, you aren't mining.  You are contributing work to the pool, who is mining; The pool is the only miner of the thousands of people using the pool.  If you aren't creating blocks, you aren't mining, either.  So "contributing" your CPU hashing power to "help support the network" isn't doing anything for the network, you're just consuming power. 

All of this should be split into a different thread, though.  Maybe a mod can split it off, I'll be happy to continue the discussion in a thread that's not the Eloipool thread.

Got eloipool up and running perfectly, wicked cool. mad respect to Luke

just checking now to see if there are any web based front ends for it ? i can only find a old thread about wizstats...

Noticed this for Python 3.4,

    class http.client.HTTPConnection(host, port=None, [timeout, ]source_address=None)

Changed in version 3.4: The strict parameter was removed.

    https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/http.client.html


python-bitcoinrpc/bitcoinrpc/authproxy.py needs adjusting.

Hi Luke,

Under the different hashrate, how to optimize config.Py.

For example: 40T, 200T, 500T, 1000T, how should adjust.

Hi,Luke. are there any api docs about Eloipool?

Hi,Luke. are there any api docs about Eloipool?

Luke-Jr,

By chance would you know off the top of your head what could be causing my target issue posted a couple above?

Update: Nevermind, found out the var diff part was not in the master that I pulled.  Works like a charm now.  Big thanks to Polyatomic for pointing me in the right direction!

[guruvan]

Luke-Jr, we've been running eloiopol to connect a pool to eligius, quite successfully (Thanks!) and have a few questions:

1) To connect to an upstream pool (ie eligius) the loop branch is required
    - If I understand everything, I need coinbase/append and submit/coinbase to do this, and those don't appear to be in the main branch, correct?
2) I also need the latest version of your bitcoind, eligius branch? (it's what I am running now)
3) when using this branch, so I need or want "BlockSubsissions" section, or just "UpstreamURI"
    - and if I need/want it, mining on upstream pool like eliguis, whose servers should be here?

- FWIW, we're using your suggested commit for bitcoinrpc, and mostly everything else you suggest, except gentoo (I feel like I might have shot myself in the foot here!) eloipool is running in a fairly stock ubuntu14.04, with python3.2 and setup in virtualenv.

The issues I've seen so far seem common, and mostly above you suggest ignoring most, but

- when stratum workers become disconnected, they don't want to reconnect without the human restarting miner software
- they seem to disconnect when we see a socket timeout connecting to (either eligius or our own bitcoind, this is not clear)

Finally, is there any guidance on the amount of RAM required to run eloipool as a downstream pool? Is this more based on the number of workers connected, the amount of hashrate, or?? I definitely ran a 4GB box out of RAM with just 2THs on it. Bitcoind is running on it's own machine, and we're just logging shares to text for now.

Well. Maybe one more. I'm sure you've seen nomp's mining keys? What do you think of this idea and code? And, if you think that's a good idea, would that be something you'd have an interest in supporting in eloipool? (maybe a module that figures a pubkey from a miningkey and drops it into config.py?)

I know you're not the biggest altcoin fan, but I can't see any reason you shouldn't earn something from pools using your software to mine them. (forrestv has something similar for --give-author in p2pool I've not seen how this works though)

Thanks for your time! (we know where to put some BTC )

[Luke-Jr]

Luke-Jr, we've been running eloiopol to connect a pool to eligius, quite successfully (Thanks!) and have a few questions:

The loop branch was never finished and does not work completely.
Use it at your own risk...

- when stratum workers become disconnected, they don't want to reconnect without the human restarting miner software

Be sure miners are using the latest version of BFGMiner.
Unmaintained versions and forks thereof, my have bugs - those are however unrelated to Eloipool.

Nope, no idea what you're talking about.

The sample config file has a Coinbaser example that donates.

[guruvan]

Thanks for the info Luke.
NOMP mining key creates a pubkey/privkey pair that can be used for any coin - the coin's pubkey can be derived from the mining-key pubkey, and likewise for the privkey.

Allows zone117x to collect from coinbase on pretty much every coin folks mine with his solution. And also, this is part of the magic in nomp that allows for multipools - coinswitching ports require mining-keys for usernames, and payment processor pays the coin to the derived coin pubkey

I don't have one running ATM, but raskul has his here: http://eu.centralcavern.uk:8080 the mining key creation web script is here http://eu.centralcavern.uk:8080/key.html - his setup looks pretty stock.

[Luke-Jr]

Sounds pointless, since addresses should only ever be used once.

I changed everything in networkserver.py from AF_INET6 to AF_INET.
That error seems to be gone, but my miners cannot connect?!
(yes I also changed the config file removing the ::ffff:)

If there another log I should look at?
The process is indeed running, the miners are saying connection refused.

Owh, I also had to fix /home/pi/eloipool/bitcoin/node.py for the NET6 issue.

Okay, almost there. I have another error, I think it has to do with configuration (trying to get this to work for LiteCoin).

Eloipool only supports IPv6.
If you want to use obsolete IPv4, you will need an OS that supports IPv4 connections on IPv6 sockets (like Linux) and configure it to bind on the appropriate iPv6 address (as in the example config).

I managed to get it to work by replacing all INET6 with INET.
I am good at this point.
I have a new error, not sure if it is component configuration related or not...

I found a scrypt version of eloipool and im trying to merge-mine litecoin and dogecoin.
I think the configuration is...


Miner -> Eloipool -> merged-mine-proxy -> litecoin wallet + dogecoin wallet.

Please confirm if I have this conceptually correct.
I think the setworkaux is missing in the wallet, so, I suspect I need to modify the wallet code?
I am confused because I saw setworkaux in some of the pool code to as though my componets above might not be correct.
Please confirm.

                Thank you in advance 

 

[bitzcointalk]

I started at the beginning of the forum and found my answer he he he  

I'll go ahead and re-post it here:

Thanks Luke!

client miner <--> eloipool <--> bitcoind
                     |-> merged mining proxy (MMP) <--> namecoind

merged-mining-proxy:

GotWorkURI = "http://mergedproxyuser:mergedproxypass@127.0.0.1:8330/"

namecoin config:

and user miner program connect to 9947

Attempting the above, stand by......

[bitzcointalk]

Still working on it... (Looks now like the target was set so high I always find blocks =/ so, no worries)
More clues:

Posting "method": "gotwork" i get:

<html>
  <head><title>404 - No Such Resource</title></head>
  <body>
    <h1>No Such Resource</h1>
    <p>No such child resource.</p>
  </body>
</html>

trying to debug it.
I'm guessing it means I did something odd.
I'm using Python3.2 and a couple of these script seems to have needed a conversion from 2to3 via the 2to3 app.
Perhaps I should do that to all of them...

And on we trudge.

[bitzcointalk]

MMP uses Twisted library, which seems to be having an issue.
I still keep getting the following when eloipool sends gotwork to the MMP.

<html>
  <head><title>404 - No Such Resource</title></head>
  <body>
    <h1>No Such Resource</h1>
    <p>No such child resource.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Still debugging, any suggestions?
Using Python3.2
Twisted 14.0.2
NOOBS RPI
Not using twistd dont think I need it.

 

And on we trudge.

[bitzcointalk]

Ah! I just had to restart after all the installations.
Owh, Wait, But what do we have here.... Another error 
Communications between the MMP and Eloipool are broken, I think the script has serious issues in Python3.
Its going to take week to sort this out since in know precisely nothing about Python 
Sure, just buy some hardware, plug it in, hash away, and bank some crytpo coins, humff.

I guess what I really need is a working tested Python 3.2 or 3.x version of MMP so I can merge in the changes.

[bitzcointalk]

Its the Unicode issue, Twisted library is a pain to use in 3.x since python changed default handling.
If I leave out the MerkleTree import, then I can use Python2.7.
Please advise if the MMP absolutely needs the MerkleTree import.     

Wait, wait, looked at the code, it says only 1 subchain will work, interesting...
So, really do have a delema here... I have to make 1/2 work in v3 which I have already managed, and 1/2 work in v2 for MMP.

And on we trudge.

[bitzcointalk]

Ha! That worked... some massaging but, I got it 
Now to test it 

And on we trudge.

I've setup a local stratum server using eloipool. I'm trying to test the stratum server manually using either telnet or curl as in:

curl --data-binary '{"id": 1, "method": "mining.subscribe", "params": []}'  -H 'content-type:text/plain;' http://myuser:mypassword@127.0.0.1:3334/

The connection is closed as soon as the first line of the http headers is sent (usually POST) (curl prints: curl: (52) Empty reply from server)

Any idea of what's happening?

Eloipool does not support StratumMP over HTTP (nor does any other StratumMP server AFAIK), only GBT and getwork.
For StratumMP, you need to connect over a raw TCP stream.

[Sergio_Demian_Lerner]

Thank you very much Luke.

[knowndragon]

Luke you probably don't remember me but you help teach me to overclock on a phenom II well push it further with memory timings. I am gonna try this out. Subbing gonna read all first but hopefully it sounds what I am looking for.

[SargeR33]

Although I have never done any of this before and have no idea what prerequisites are needed, I will attempt to give this a try on my linux system. I'm trying to setup a private pool for my machines to run off.

[tuaris]

Is it possible to submit a block without using an JSON-RPC call to bitcoind?  Is that what bitcoin/node.py is for?
Reason I ask is because I constantly experience an issue that is similar to this: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/2889

0.045 BTC Bounty- Help me get my eloipool running right so people can connect & fees are deducted


Hi,

I got bitcoind & eloipool up & running on my VPS, but I have no mining gear with which to test it- bfgminer returns an error about 'no servers to connect to' when I run it from my desktop using the public IP address of the VPS.

Bounty will be paid to anyone who can sort out the configuration such that bitcoin miners can connect to the pool & pool fees are deducted properly.

It could be configured properly now, but I can't tell without connecting to it myself to see. Either way, I'd like you to record the screen or something to prove its working right, so I can pay you knowing I'm not getting scammed.

PM me if interested.

Thanks,

[hodedowe]

I just got this running and mining is working (finally!) but I'm receiving an error in my log file, similar to another user. If a fix was posted I didn't see it.

Does anyone with more python experience have an idea of where to troubleshoot?

Downgrade python-bitcoinrpc.

[hodedowe]

Will do. What version should I be using?

I've "downgraded" by using this command

Code:

git checkout -b 770881c8bd9b1f92427290270b37a28751cf9df0

This sent my "bad" shares & rejected through the roof. 

[hodedowe]

I'm working on a "Cut and paste" version of this pool server for the average "joe" to download, fire up, and begin mining. No programming or linux experience necessary. I've got most of the bugs worked out and instructions typed, but the Python errors are tangling me up. If you've put this server together and can provide a little insight for the greater good, PM me.

[hodedowe]

For fun and as a soundboard I'll start posting my progress here. If anyone feels froggy please jump in, though I know this isn't that type of thread (support).

Moving on, it seems like the latest writeups all call for the process to be called "eloipool.py", but on my systems - and I've gone through several at this point trying to get it working - but all my systems run the process as "python3" so the killall scripts don't operate correctly.


As for errors, this one pops up all the time on the commandline after running : eloipool.py: no process found. I discovered this is due to newblock.sh trying to kill the process by calling it eloipool.py instead of python3. Fixed.

Now I'm still getting this error with the merklemaker:

Code:

And if I downgrade using the command in my previous post I get thousands of stale, bad, or discarded shares on the miner (see pic). So I'm back to going through this and trying to get it running. I'll post if I come up with a solution.


Got Stale? Check that "Rejected" vs "Accepted" - Ouch!

[hodedowe]

ALso, if someone has a copy of midstate.so and wouldn't mind sharing the code (cut,paste) I'd sure appreciate it as Gitorious is dead and not serving it anymore.

Running on Bitcoin testnet I keep getting this error when a test block is found

RuntimeError: Failed to create usable template

I believe it has to do with the difference in Test coins vs real coins. Trying to figure it out now...

[hodedowe]

Ok, successfully mined a test coin, but it failed to show up at the target address.
Good thing I'm on the test net and not shooting myself for missing 25 btc! 

[hodedowe]

In frustration I completely removed my eloipool installation and started from scratch using a different build and I'll be darned if it isn't working now. A few stales from time to time, but difficulty rises quickly and the bad shares are all gone. It's running fast and easy.

I'll continue testing this weekend. If all goes well I'll have a downloadable point-and-click version ready soon. Entirely n00b friendly.

[hodedowe]

Note: After mining several test blocks successfully it seems that the coinbaser address doesn't work, nor does the mining to the miner's address. The only address that receives coins is the TrackerAddr address in the config.py file.

[hodedowe]

I got a working version put together. I started a new thread here for support etc.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1235123.0


Good luck to anyone else looking to try to figure this out. It took me a while but it was worth it. All knowledge is priceless

[panyiqiang]

If TrackerAddr is not defined, will the bitcoind provide a generation address?How to estimate the current hashrate of the pool?

[Luke-Jr]

Segregated witness and SegNet are now supported in the "segwit" branch.
