[ANN] beeeeer.org - Primecoin mining pool!

anybody can compile binary with fix mumus version jhPrimeminer for win64?

[mhps]

why is it called mumus

Because mumus on bitcointalk.org forked the official jhPrimeminer and greatly improved it. Mumus was subsequently improved by rdebourbon to make the "rdb" version, which at some point was improved by cabin. I think I got it right. It's interesting that you don't seem to know much about all these and developed the your miner based on mikaelh's miner.

By the way, as a minor interface improvement request -- I don't think anyone is interested in seeing the long block string for every get_work. The miner only needs to show that the threads are alive, what the performence is, and shares are found.

A GUI miner for this would only take a few hours. Do you think you can implement multiple workers for the same address?

Just found this on http://www.beeeeer.org/block/151881 :

  "AeUD8XG5Hb2QWghuHAQ94JPEJhSvatDnEM": {
   "0": 19,
   "6": 1109,
   "7": 91,
   "8": 9,
   "9": 1,
   "151881": 1,
   "-6": 1
  },

whats the 151881 telling us? a chain of length  151881??

That is block number in the block chain. Looking at the shares you made basically you hit a block by the first 9-chain you submitted. That is a 1 in 7 chance at current difficulty. Very good luck! 

btw you can also see that n length chains are ~10 times rarer than n-1 length. If anyone has a lot of shares and the shares have significantly different ratios s/he is probably gaming the system.

[xolokram]

the blockheight number (>100000) in the shares indicates that "AeUD8XG5H[...]JhSvatDnEM" has found the block (aka his/her share was responsible for hitting the target length)

@mhps:
I didn't really used ypool alot (just tested it once). That's why jhPrimeminer was never really an option for me (along the fact that it's not multi-platform). I solomined alot (with mikaelh's client) and then started someday working on my own pool software. Quirlorimbo was the guy who convinced me of trying to add support for jhPrimeminer for the pool (kindof).

thanks for the clarification on their versions. less verbose output? yeah, let's see

@super3:
you can let multiple miner mine for the same address!!

Yes, I know. But how do I tell how each miner is doing? For example if one was just producing stales or was down I couldn't really tell that because all the miner stats would be grouped.

[xolokram]

Ah ok, I see what you mean. Mh, unless you dont want to use multiple addresses, which isn't really a good idea, you just can't.
I will think about it, maybe I will use the password field for this. I will work up something.
there need to be way more statistics on the web front anyway --- because everybody loves statistics, right?

ps. arrrgh, i hate the github web interface
pps. block #2 with 27630 shares

[xeroc]

another block just dropped in

http://www.beeeeer.org/block/152782

around 40 addresses with shares ..
hopefully gonna be alot more soon ...

[xolokram]

but not -too- fast; i have to get a feeling about the stability of every component of the pool to find bottlenecks early on. 

- xolokram

ps. updated OP, minor changes

[manawenuz]

@xolokram , the same happened on my paravirtualized Cent6 VM on Cent5
http://pastebin.com/PrKYf5NB
and there's the log you've requested .
my ovz vm running Fedora is doing alright though ,
any thoughts?

[xolokram]

after it crashs, type "bt" into the gdb console, and send me the output
and you compiled it with the "-g" parameter, right?
(use Private Messages to answer, we don't want to pollute the thread with stuff like this)

- xolokram

ps. i have to go now, i'll be back in a few hours, stay frosty

[manawenuz]

i've recompiled it with -g parameter , i've figured out what the problem is !!!
it's because of my internet , they have deep packet inspection in place , and they drop your packets !!!
i've made a vpn and it started to mine !!!

Decided to give this a try today to see how it compares to yPool.

Looks like the first XPM being credited towards my address are from the 3rd block that the pool has discovered to date.

http://www.beeeeer.org/block/153134

The Primeminer v01 is looking fairly stable for a Beta.  I'll leave it running through the night and see if it survives to the morning.  I've been having to run the yPool miner in a batch file that restarts it every hour or so I'll see if this one looks like it will need the same treatment or not.

May I suggest a link to the Miner download on the main page of the Beeeeer.org website.

block #4

i compiled the 64bit version of the miner for windows (what a pain, i should clean up the code and remove the old lib dependencies!). it's faster now (on 64bit machines). see OP.
