Issues

my pool is http://pirl.sokuyun.cn/, looks fine, except balance pending.

my miner is http://pirl.sokuyun.cn/#/account/0xff8806c00738d6cf16852d7022dfb61d6cf82545

Backtrace

Unable to process payouts: authentication needed: password or unlock

[xenhim]

need to unlock in geth or parity

[wudics]

but not working with --unlock or --password @xenhim

[xenhim]

You use pirl . you need unlock in ./pirl --unlock "xxxxx" --password "~/.password"

[xenhim]

pirl totally there. Please take a look at the tutorial

[wudics]

I already use this two params, but not working, in my startup script there are something wrong ? please help me to figure out

[xenhim]

check file passwork . was it correct path? . When the pirl run have see unlocked?

[wudics]

yes, it is the right path, I use below jsonrpc to check is correct or not :

curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_sign","params":["0x03cb42164a498c019c0fc55acf59210b683ff09c", "0xdeadbeaf"],"id":1}' http://127.0.0.1:6588

when I use --unlock --password params , it is show account locked

when I use personal.unlockAccount in console model, it is show account unlock successfully

[xenhim]

Try a password.txt password file . when successfully unlocked. edit the content in the text file. Remove your password.

[wudics]

how to ?

[xenhim]

"nano password.txt" type password and save

restart ./pirl --maxpeers 100 --rpc --rpcaddr "127.0.0.1" –-rpcapi "eth,net,web3" --unlock "0x03cb42164a498c019c0fc55acf59210b683ff09c" –-password "/root/pirl-linux-amd64/password.txt"

[wudics]

hmmm, not working I just try, account still locks, it seems to ignore --unlock --password parameters

[wudics]

[solved] Thanks @xenhim , I fix it with recompiling the pirl source code and change the startup script like this:

screen -LdmS pirl ./pirl -maxpeers 100 -rpc -rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 -rpcapi eth,net,web3 -unlock 0x03cb42164a498c019c0fc55acf59210b683ff09c -password /root/pirl-linux-amd64/password
