Mining issues

[Coinomatron]

Hi, I tried solo mining on the 4.0.2 client as well as the 5.3.0, but all I got was errors in nomp when submitting a block. Is nomp working at all with verge or is there some special software required? Also, what verge version should be used for mining? Thanks.

[marpme]

Hardfork coming with 6.0.0

• nomp is definitely compatible I would need a log or something to help you.

[Coinomatron]

Yea, I knew about the hardfork. So what client works best with mining? Last nomp error was this one. Wallet was unlocked.

Daemon returned unexpected return code 500, data = "{\"result\":null,\"error\":{\"code\":-22,\"message\":\"Block signatures couldn't be created\"},\"id\":1572131121324}\n"

[marpme]

Do you have at least one output as a P2PK, because this is required within the coinbase transaction template to sign the block with it

[Coinomatron]

Hm, that's not anywhere in the debug file, so maybe this error doesn't pertain to submitted blocks?

[marpme]

It even says: "Block signatures couldn't be created"

There are two reasons for this either your not using a publickey output within your coinbase transaction or your wallet isn't locked.

CoinbaseTx {
 outputs {
   PubKey -> 0 XVG
   PubKeyHash -> 730 XVG
 }
}

that's how your transaction could look like, maybe you can just activate the POS mode for verge and it will work eventually

[Coinomatron]

Uhm, pos 'mode' ? Does that mean in the coin.conf I should add "Reward": "POS" ?

[justinvforvendetta]

is there a hybrid option?

[Coinomatron]

Yea, I guess I can put that in the coin conf. I'll fiddle some more with it, or just use a pool. On a side note, the 4.0.2 client, after I created a new wallet.dat for mining, keeps rescanning the blockchain, which takes ages on a restart. Any idea how to fix that?

[justinvforvendetta]

doesn't it have a hybrid option?

[justinvforvendetta]

ah, POS if using ver 4, but you should use 6

[Coinomatron]

Version 4 does submit blocks (algo lyra2rev2), but they're all orphaned (10 in a row). Haven't seen any block submission on 6, just the above error about not being able to sign blocks. Had that too with the 'hybrid' option in the coin.conf. Not really sure what to do about it anymore.

[justinvforvendetta]

@Coinomatron are you on v6 and ready to go?

[Coinomatron]

Thanks for the heads up, I upgraded a few days ago. Closing this, might re-open if I feel like experimenting with mining again and run into things.

Hello there, I've got the same Problem with my nomp solo pool. I'm using the newest version of the coin daemon but everytime when there's a block found this error occures in nomp:

rpc error with daemon instance 0 when submitting block with submitblock {"code":-22,"message":"Block signatures couldn't be created"}

This is my VERGE.conf

rpcuser=vergerpc rpcpassword=test12345 rpcport=20102 port=21102 daemon=1 server=1 listen=1 listenonion=0 maxconnections=38 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 algo=scrypt

[Widi92]

Idk how changing reward type in nomp's coin.conf can fix the problem. When I do that nomp still tells me after startup:

Detected Reward Type: POW

Or do you mean that I should somehow set in my qt.conf reward type to pos? If yes, I don't know how to do that.

[justinvforvendetta]

is there a hybrid option? are u signing the block? whats ur debug on the verge dameon say?

[Widi92]

I don't know if there is a hybrid option. As far as I know Verge is only pow right now. I even don't know how to sign a block, so I guess not. Time code of nomp error compared with timecode of debug.log doesn't show any suspicious error message. Error occured at 13:35:14

[justinvforvendetta]

what version of the xvg daemon are you running? @Widi92

[Widi92]

I'm using v6.0.2

[justinvforvendetta]

try switching nomp conf to pos.

[Widi92]

Already tried that before, still not working.
