Killbyte - wondered if you'd be interested in helping me get all this up and running for some BTC - I want to setup a merged mining pool with Doge, Ltc, Sys, 42 and Pot

sigwo commented 10 years ago

I have it working and finding blocks for POT and SYS. LTC is running, but I do not have enough hash to solve a LTC block. DOGE is waiting for the AUXPoW block but works on testnet. My issue is when I find a block, the stratum throws an error and crashes. I've been working on it in my spare time, as I currently have a commissioned project taking up time. Payouts do not currently work, but I only have me and a friend mining, so I just manually pay her. :) You can check it out at http://bemining.net if you like.

How did you guys get your private keys setup? https://github.com/KillerByte/node-merged-pool/issues/4

sigwo commented 10 years ago

Private key? Use addie.cc for the username for miners and add the addresses to that profile. I'm not sure what private keys you are talking about...For the pools/*coin.json, setup the local wallet address in the file.

jacobnollette commented 10 years ago

you must have modified from the demo some — in the config file it requires one single address for generating coins, shared across all coins... How did you share a private key across multiple coins?

sigwo commented 10 years ago

It's a public key. I generated it from my NOMP pool. Try visiting http://judge.bemining.net/mining_key and you can download the standalone version.

gotcha, i'm familiar with nomp, have an instance running locally... had wondered about that.. thanks for the input... BTW whats with waiting for the AUXPow block (doge), shouldn't merged mining just work now?

sigwo commented 10 years ago

No, they aren't to the block that signals the AUXPoW yet.

sigwo — i'm confused, so i tried adding the mining private address as the primary coin payout address — server is saying address is invalid — how do I add the addresses for all the merged coins then?

jacobnollette commented 10 years ago

I'm live now.., we'll see about the crash you mentioned.

How are you merge mining potcoin?? Api throwing an error for getauxblock

sigwo commented 10 years ago

POT is the main coin and syscoin is the AUXPoW coin.

sigwo commented 10 years ago

You can merge mine any scrypt coin with SYS.

jacobnollette commented 10 years ago

what are you doing to keep the process running after it crashes on successful block? cron?

sigwo commented 10 years ago

I haven't fixed the block crash or the restart. I'm monitoring the hashrate every so often. As I said, it is an experimental pool now. I'm actually moving it to a different server so I can restart my big NOMP instance and not have it effect testing.

sigwo commented 10 years ago

nothing right now. LOL I see in the logs where it errors, so I'm trying to fix it rather than band-aid it.

i will try to dig in later.. i was using node forever to keep it persistent, but wasn't getting any blocks for hours, and wondered if something was going wrong somewhere down the line... Hard to tell.

sigwo commented 10 years ago

I think the stratum dies, not the server and that's why forever or a cron won't work. I ran just the barebones node-merged-pool (not portal) and it crashes after finding a block. It's not the portal, but the stratum that has an error.

And the payouts are a whole different ballgame. Really wishing the creator would stop by :-)

seems like too many problme here to even attempt implementing - however I have one question:

you wrote: You can merge mine any scrypt coin with SYS.

is this true? I thought one certain coins could be merged mined - not "any' coin as your state (at least with sys) which is kind of tanking right now.

sigwo commented 10 years ago

As long as the difficulty is higher than the aux coin (SYS, in this case), yes. Any scrypt coin. LTC is the preferred choice because the diff is so high on LTC.

But even then you can. I am merge mining POT/SYS, RBY/SYS, and VIA/SYS right now. I have found several POT blocks, which is a lower diff coin than SYS. I just won't (shouldn't) find any SYS blocks right now.

what do you have as a Primary coin?

POT, RBY, and VIA

jjj092353 commented 10 years ago

so - you are just merge mining two coins and have been using either POT, RBY or VIA as your primary coin?

sigwo commented 10 years ago

Yes. There are very few coins that can be the secondary coin. DOGE is the biggest that will be merge-able when they get to block 371337.

jjj092353 commented 10 years ago

so - let me get this right - if I have POT, SYS, RBY, VIA or 42 as a primary - I can mine any other scrypt coin as a secondary?

sigwo commented 10 years ago

No. The primary coin is not the merge mineable coin. doge / sys / taco / peseta / huntercoin(broken) / united scrypt coin / umbrella / Monocle / Parrallax are the merge mineable coins that are the SECONDARY coins. ANY scrypt coin can be the MAIN coin. It is only beneficial (attempting to solve blocks on both chains) IF the MAIN coin has a HIGHER difficulty than the SECONDARY coin.

BigMcRat commented 10 years ago

hi guys,

did you know how to configure pool.json to mine on two or more AuxPow Coins?

sigwo commented 10 years ago

Doesn't work afaik.

BigMcRat commented 10 years ago

Hi sigwo,

do you mean two or more AuxPOW coins do not work together or is not possible to mine more AuxPow Coins with this stratum?

sigwo commented 10 years ago

It works using more than one AUXPoW coin together, just not with this software.

microlost commented 9 years ago

hi,sigwo,the portal of your pool (http://bemining.net) looks nice,where is the souce? I now I want to build a merged pool mining LTC & DOGE,what do you think of what software should I use

sigwo commented 9 years ago

I have forked UNOMP to https://github.com/sigwo/unified-node-open-mining-portal.

microlost commented 9 years ago

thanks,does your fork suitable for a merged pool?

sigwo commented 9 years ago

It works as intended EXCEPT does NOT pay merged coins to miners yet. Also I have reports that merged mining doesn't work for some. I'm actively working on this project. Only use in testing scenarios at the moment. There are a couple that use this in MPOS mode as well, so the testing base is good.

microlost commented 9 years ago

so,you means can't be build a merged pool with this project now. I have also notice the powerpool your suggested above,and try for a couple hours,but I got an error like this: https://github.com/simplecrypto/powerpool/issues/126

Do you know what is the problem

sigwo commented 9 years ago

So, there are two parts to mining pools. The stratum and the portal (or website). This is the stratum that I use to build UNOMP. My above link is to the portal, that pulls in the stratum together, into a working unit. My UNOMP link is a working pool, albeit an alpha, in development, project.

microlost commented 9 years ago

I have try with your fork UNOMP,the backenk work well,but when I run the frontend,I got a error like this: module.js:340 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'log4js' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25) at Module.require (module.js:364:17) at require (module.js:380:17) at Object.

you said above that your rope can NOT pay merged coins to miners yet,does it means neither primary coin nor AUXPoW coin?
