Bitparking Namecoin Mining Pool [30 GHash/s]

[noobboon]

Hey, I can't get a namecoin address. I did this step in windows 7

4. Create the "bitcoin.conf" file
Windows : file must be located in your application data folder \ namecoin
Linux : file must be located in ~/.namecoin
Populate "bitcoin.conf" with at least these lines  :
rpcuser=your_user
rpcpassword=your_pass
rpcport=8336
daemon=1

But when in step 5 to 8, I typed "c:\namecoin_win32\namecoind.exe", there is no "bitcoin server starting" appear in the command prompt and I have no Idea what to do next. I read your blog but its in linux not in windows, anyone can help?

5. Start namecoind again
bitcoin server starting

6. List available commands:
Note : on windows, you may need to open a new terminal.
./namecoind help

7. Get your first namecoin address(es):
You will need an address if you want to receive namecoins.
./namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

8. Generate a new address:
./namecoind getnewaddress

[noobboon]

I could not get the receiving address.

I create the bitcoin.conf file
then I run the namecoind.exe in command prompt

then when I type "namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true"

I got error like these

pls help

namecoind getgenerate

that will get you an address

I think getnewaddress is used when you already have an address

You can associate it with an account name, then solo mine

namecoind getnewaddress Chucksta

bitcoin.conf
-----------
rpcuser=Chucksta
rpcpassword=suckmyc00k1es
rpcport=8332
rpcallowip=198.xxx.xxx.xx1
rpcallowip=198.xxx.xxx.xx2
rpcallowip=198.xxx.xxx.xx3
daemon=1

Anyone else getting really bad connection problems to this pool today?

Yep, me

I keep getting 504 (Gateway timeout) errors with jgarzik's cpuminer-1.0.2.

Linux:

Code:

$ uname -m
x86_64
$ wget http://dot-bit.org/files/namecoin_linux64.tgz
$ tar zxf namecoin_linux64.tgz
$ mkdir .namecoin
$ cat >.namecoin/bitcoin.cfg <<EOF
rpcpassword=insert_s0me_p4ssword_here
rpcport=8337
EOF
$ ./namecoind &
$ ./namecoind help
backupwallet <destination>
deletetransaction <txid>
getaccount <bitcoinaddress>
[blah blah, you are supposed to be interested in reading the output]
$ ./namecoind getnewaddress
NFMrAM9jv...

Windows: err I guess some endless sequence of clicks here and there...

If you get "i386" after executing "uname -m" at the very beginning, then download and use namecoin_linux32.tgz instead of 64.

should I be concerned that my pool hashrate shows as being over 100Mh less than my actual rate?

[Yeti]

Have that, too. Looking at the output from DiabloMiner it seems there are a lot of invalid blocks or timeouts happening. The hashrate that the pool reports back to you is only based on the valid blocks it counts.
The bitparking guys say it's because calculation speed is increasing so fast that sometimes a block is solved before you had time to get even one share in and that that should stabilize after the next difficulty change.

[zpinto]

pool died?

[Yeti]

My miner does still get work from the pool but it seems the stats page is down. Only the default nginx homepage shows up.

[wachtwoord]

For me it mined all day but I had ~18% rejected. That is a lot (even normally in this pool I had ~5% rejected but I thought that was the sample size).

Is something wrong?

[Freakin]

yeah I'm getting 20-30% rejected as well.  wtf

[Noise]

Pool hash rate kept going up & up but it seemed like it took longer & longer to solve blocks, then it died.

doublec twitter on Jun 6 "Rewrote my namecoin mining pool server in Ur/Web. Old server hit 100% and died at 20 getworks/s. New one at 45 getworks/s and going fine."

Looks like ~130 getwork/s is current limit, I don't remember it getting much higher. This is the only namecoin mining pool at the moment so it got pretty busy.

[Dobrodav]

Poclbm miner gives me 165 accepted shares and 41 stale. This is unacceptable.

[Reckman]

+1 for new servers

Getting intermitant connection issues

Set a second miner for each gpu to another pool with lower -f value will roll over

[w0mbat]

could anyone explain to a windows using noob how to use this?

[wachtwoord]

Sure, go here: http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoin

After that you have a namecoinaddress (resulting from the the getnewaddress command), copy this, you'll need it the next step.

Then use your miner of choice. I use Phoenix so (on a command prompt) run:
Phoenix.exe -u http://MYNAMECOINADDRES:anything@bitparking.com:9098/ DEVICE=0 -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=128  -q 3

On the ming website you can access your account with the MYNAMECOINADDRESS and no password and this way you can also cash out to your wallet. If you want to see your wallet content you can type:

"namecoind getinfo" on the command prompt but please note the funds are only shown here after 120 conformations.
If you want to see it sooner type: "namecoind listtransactions" and check the amount (and the conformation count) of the last transaction

Hope this was clear enough, if not please ask
