TBF Feathercoin pool stuck?

wrapper

Just FYI, 0.9.6 shouldn’t have caused any problems, a bit more feed back is needed on what versions are running into issues.
Currently, use of old versions, may cause some issue, so is our initial focus of research…

FTC wallet - Version 0.8.x has this patch

https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/commit/d99df787b154bd6e717cefcdadb5a226cb36965e

But 0.9.2.x introduced this patch into the 0.9.x but not backported to 0.8.x

https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/commit/1e2cc219d6ed147ff80a5b1fa2200d661a2e4c7c

To enable the 0.9.x series as a bridge to 0.11, it probably is a good idea for everyone to move on from 0.8.x …

The 0.9.2 patch is working, the log messages you can see on the stuck nodes are ‘block hash doesn’t match nbits’ and not ‘AcceptBlockHeader,incorrect block version…’

so according to the code of both versions are working for block version 2 and version 4

TBF have daemon version 0.8.7.3. Which had stopped functioning to me also.

Seems that GMC also had that daemon, as they did not work for 2-3 days. Now more or less OK. But I have asked them month ago that change FTC price on dashboard from obsolete btc-e to bittrex and no action , no answer… so support there is very very limited…

Hello, have you upgraded to 0.9.6 ?

Yes I have ;)

Yes thanks for that, we’ve had a lot to do, getting everyone to upgrade to new versions are always a pain.

0.9.3.1 also functioning good. I just had no luck trying to mine solo on 0.9.6, continue tests on Monday.

Hey @Lordas - post your mining settings and give us an intro on your setup and we’ll try to help :-)

Lordas

Nothing special - tried with http://, stratum+tcp:// and without. If without - minerd jumping to getwork and running, but post mesages about incorrect block size, ccminer and cgminer says that no answer from stratum. I can post all in details tomorrow.

So solomining on 0.9.6, in my feathercoin.conf I have this:

Replace SomeUser and SomePassword with whatever you want.

rpcuser=SomeUser
rpcpassword=SomePassword
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=9337
server=1

then my nsgminer config is like this:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
nsgminer.exe --neoscrypt -g 1 -w 128 -I 15 --gpu-platform 1 --gpu-engine 850 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o http://localhost:9337 -u SomeUser-p SomePassword

You’re able to solo on 0.9.6 with those settings? I ask because I had issues solo mining years back but have not tried lately.

Lordas

Thanks! Mine miner setups:
ccminer-75.exe -a neoscrypt -o http://192.168.1.172:9337 -u user -p pass
minerd.exe --threads 4 --url stratum+tcp://192.168.1.170:9337 --userpass user:pass

Tried http and stratum on both, or without, no firewall on miner and server. There are new w32 binaries (cool!) so will try them on my old wallet pc, where solo worked, with same settings.

AcidD

@Lordas - Please report back and let us know ! :-)

@AmDD - well, it’s hashing away but with only 370 Khs, the chances of me finding a block are pretty slim.

Lordas

BTW back to topic - these days mininghub not rarely makes >51% of total FTC net hashrate…

Just reading this.

the daemon does not support stratum, but getblock template only, if I remember right ( didn’t solo mine for years now)

@Ghostlander may be able to confirm

That sounds right to me as well.

ghostlander

@Wellenreiter Indeed the daemon supports only getwork and getblocktemplate. Pools use the latter. Stratum gets supported through a separate front-end.
