CKPOOL - Open source pool/proxy/passthrough/redirector/library in c for Linux

[posternat]

but I think that it should be password zipped and the password is only given at the end of a short test about simple things, terminal use in Ubuntu, PHP errors, basic Java debugging and maybe even a few questions on ethics,

Maximum number of miners can be connected to a ckproxy is unlimited or limited?
Thank you

Unlimited. You'll have to configure your linux box to have enough open files to cope.

Use php ckdb.php - not ckpmsg - there's problems using ckpmsg - and ckdb.php points to the correct socket if you are using /opt/ (don't use /tmp/)

Your error above means it sent it to the wrong socket.

Has anyone tried using the raspberry pi zero as a proxy? I was thinking of attaching one to each of my miners so that I can use wifi to change the address it is pointed to without disrupting the miner. Will it be fast enough?

how do you intend to use wifi with the pi zero? you would need a wifi usb thing at least , because it doesn't have it on board iirc

I have some hats with extra usb ports and a built in wifi chip.

Please note that I am no longer a developer on this project.
I run my own private git, and because of that the project owner decided to remove my access to the project.
I was effectively the only developer of CKDB on this project, so that no longer has any support.

[-ck]

I maintain two private gits of ckpool, one for the solo ckpool which includes code that I do not plan to make public as it is the only thing that separates solo ckpool from any other. The other private git has code that is funded privately from a BitmainWarranty representative but all the code eventually gets pushed upstream to the master ckpool git.

As Kano said, ckdb support for this project is now in limbo as it currently has no maintainer. He had intimated his dissatisfaction with my contribution to his pool and that he would no longer be upstreaming his ckdb changes to the master git so it seemed inappropriate for him to have write access to the ckpool git any more. Once I revoked that it led to a cascade of events with him rage quitting the #ckpool IRC channel which implied to me he no longer wanted to have anything to do with me and my projects so I revoked his IRC channel operator and cgminer access as well. Should he wish to continue contributing I would reinstate his write access but he said he wouldn't upstream his code anyway and I doubt he wants to contribute to my projects any more since I've effectively not been contributing to his and I suspect he harbours an awful lot of ill will towards me now.

[kano]

My IRC comments (all, none missing) that he calls "cascade of events" and "rage quitting"

11:50 <@kanoi> yeah I have for you for ages : ) just finally got bored with that : )

Then I got a notification popup about being removed from the 'so called' BitmainWarranty git (that said 11:52)
I didn't realise there was also a message for the main git - my email notifier only shows the last message subject each time it checks
My next 2 comments were, in reference to that hidden git I had access to revoked:

11:58 <@kanoi> lol
...
11:58 <@kanoi> don't even know the last time I looked at it
...
12:01 <@kanoi> well I have my own private of the main one coz the 3 that exist are silly - one for solo that never checks any effect it has on a real pool, one for Lightsword that has a whole bunch of closed source that I'd never go near, and one public that randomly doesn't work

In reference to ckdb no longer having support that he was so happy about:
12:03 <@kanoi> the one part that always works
...
12:03 <@kanoi> actually there's about 5 but anyway
12:04 <@kanoi> (all of the others larger than me )
...
12:05 <@kanoi> yep - I don't consider lack of money a good reason to commit code that fails
...
12:06 <@kanoi> well choose one or the other
12:06 <@kanoi> s/and/or/

Then I checked my email and found that I had been removed from the main git also back at 11:52, that has more code in it by me than him.
Thus since he removed my access to the public ckpool git and the irc channel being the #ckpool channel:
12:13 <@kanoi> oh lol it was both gits - well that means I've no reason to be in here
12:13 -!- kanoi [~kanoi@...] has left #ckpool []

After I left, I saw this in the #cgminer thread:
12:12 -!- mode/#cgminer [+o conman] by ChanServ
12:13 -!- mode/#cgminer [-o kanoi] by ChanServ
Meaning he'd taken away my IRC privs in #cgminer, and I found he'd also taken away my cgminer git access.
So I:
12:13 -!- kanoi [~kanoi@...] has left #cgminer []

So I went and created the #kano.is channel in my sig - since that's what I run, and monitor, the real pool, and have always run since I started it.

Thus the above comment:

...

Oh! Silly me who thought the project was ckpool and ckdb.

Lulz - "reinstate"
You mean it was just you throwing a public tantrum at the time locking me out of 2 projects (ckpool and cgminer) and removing my privs in 2 irc channels?

I had already stated that I would only update the public git if paid to make changes.
Like you do for Bitmain for most of the changes you make.
I must do it for free?

Will and Bitmain/BitClub have paid (a lot) for most of your work in ckpool
... though my tiny contribution to you (of my own choice) of only about 120 BTC over the 2 years probably counts for nothing ... since you have ignored some changes I've requested ...

While trying to setup ckpool i needed a way to integrate ckpool with other pool frontends.

So here's my version written in python

https://github.com/ahmedbodi/PyCKDB/

ATM it only handles user authentication and share inserts for MPOS.

Tip Jar for anyone who finds it useful: 1D9sGeqx5TVzcCSdmiUqxtdqbc8puyVM9N

I'll try and keep it maintained and up to date

Thanks for that, I'm sure someone out there might find it quite helpful.

An update fixing the handling of the "BLOCK" commands and auto-creating workers in the db if the user already exists has been made

Tried to set up ckproxy on a Raspberry Pi. Threw these errors while making

Code:

Then when run it complains thusly

the NULL errors keep repeating every few seconds.

Is it a lost cause due to the yasm requirement?

ckpool/proxy is 64bit only. Did you compile it on a 32 bit environment?

[agentcash]

Yep, this is an old 32 bit Pi. I'll give it a try on 64 bit model 3 with 64bit suse tomorrow and report back.

[agentcash]

Seems to be working great on RPi3 running 64bit OpenSuse Leap - https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3

instead of apt-get just run

Code:

  zypper in yasm autoconf libtool git
  zypper in --type pattern devel_basis

then follow the rest of the install instructions. Thanks ck!

My setup has slush, kano, & solo.ckpool as proxies 0,1, & 2 respectively. Kano lost connectivity or restarted the pool a few hours ago and the proxies switched to it and stayed there for a few hours until I noticed and restarted them.

Code:

Slush was still up and running fine the whole time judging by the logs. Is there a way to prevent this switch from happening on a pool restart?
