VerusHash doesn't work with MiningRigRentals (MRR) #314

Open PSLLSP opened 2 years ago

PSLLSP commented 2 years ago

nanominer-linux-3.4.6-cuda11.tar.gz

I tried to connect nanominer to miningrigrentals.com but it doesn't work, some compatibility issue... It looks like nanominer doesn't support client.reconnect.

This config doesn't work (issue):

$ cat test_config_verus2.ini 
;restarts=0
[verushash]
; MRR
wallet      = droidMiner.217232
rigPassword = TEST2
pool1       = eu-01.miningrigrentals.com:3333
coin        = VRSC
webport     = 3399
rigName     = TEST
cputhreads  = 4

This config works, it is a workaround:

$ cat test_config_verus3.ini 
;restarts=0
[verushash]
; MRR - use direct connection to user TCP port
wallet      = droidMiner.217232
rigPassword = TEST3
;pool1       = eu-01.miningrigrentals.com:3333
pool1       = eu-01.miningrigrentals.com:54387
coin        = VRSC
webport     = 3399
rigName     = TEST
cputhreads  = 4

nanonominer cannot connect to MRR pool (port 3333):

$ ./nanominer test_config_verus2.ini

Retested with version 3.8.5 (file nanominer-linux-3.8.5.tar.gz), issue still not fixed, nanominer still ignores method client.reconnect... :-(

For a reference, SRBminer knows how to handle method client.reconnect:

You can use gminer to verify that configuration is correct, that miner supports method client.reconnect and can connect to TCP port 3333 at MRR. gminer had similar issue but they already fixed it...

When I manually modify TCP port, (I replace port 3333 with 53899 that was dynamically allocated by MRR) nanominer can connect and mine.

BTW, It is difficult to troubleshoot connection issues with nanominer, I cannot find any support for "protocol dump" or "debug mode"... I did a mistake an hour ago, I entered wrong TCP port (50175) and it was really difficult to find why nanominer is rejected from the pool... There is even no message about request to reconnect to different URL, so it is difficult to find correct TCP port for reconfiguration (that is why I entered wrong TCP port...)

Here is a reference command for gminer, it connects to TCP port 3333 and just works:

./gminer -a kawpow --server stratum+tcp://eu-de01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 --user droidMiner.294955 --pass TEST7
