(Question) switching from moopless to this - any DB changes? #31

Closed stevesteffler closed 10 years ago

stevesteffler commented 10 years ago

I'm trying to get a CinnamonCoin pool up and running and I was having trouble with vardiff on the moopless PoS branch of stratum-mining, and I discovered earlier today that people do not recommend using moopless with vardiff at this time.

So I did more digging and found your fork and it looks really great! I like all of the changes you've decided to make particularly PGsql, once mpos supports PG i will be fully using that instead of MariaDB/MySQL.

My first question is, other than switching from the moopless codebase to your codebase and reloading, do I need to worry about any changes in the SQL database structure or existing data in my DB?

My second question is, this is my first attempt at setting up a pool at all. My CIN pool was unable to solve any blocks after a really long time of running against CIN while that currency had low difficulty despite getting ~15,000 valid shares, so I am fairly sure I had my settings wrong. I am moving forward with these settings using your codebase. Do you think these should be correct for a CIN pool? (coin specs: http://cinnamoncoin.org/)

COINDAEMON_ALGO = 'scrypt' COINDAEMON_Reward = 'POS' COINDAEMON_SHA256_TX = 'no' VDIFF_X2_TYPE = True
VDIFF_FLOAT = False
POOL_TARGET = 16 VARIABLE_DIFF = True USE_LITECOIN_DIFF = False DIFF_UPDATE_FREQUENCY = 300 VDIFF_MIN_TARGET = 16
VDIFF_MAX_TARGET = 1024
VDIFF_TARGET_TIME = 15
VDIFF_RETARGET_TIME = 120
VDIFF_VARIANCE_PERCENT = 30
SOLUTION_BLOCK_HASH = True

I really appreciate the expertise and hard work you've brought to this project. Thanks!

Hi, were aiming for compatability with MPOS. so no database changes needed. postgres/sqlite is still a work in progress so its just the code copied over from wadewormesly's fork right now. (what moopless was based off) the settings above look okay to me if im honest so it should be good to go :+1:

Awesome, thanks for taking a look! :-) Things appear to be working better with the vardiff now, i'm not getting floods of over-target shares as I was before.

no problem :)
