[s]first

maintenance incoming!

pool will be down for a few minutes, i’m trying to fix the rejection bug!![/s]

rejection bug fixed
there’s still a small issue that produces some rejects. i’m already aware of this. fix will come soon.

maybe it’s a good idea to link to this thread in the pool announcement (http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=485.0)

yeah, you’re right. fixed

Does beeeeer.org still accept getwork connections? I am asking because the reaper gpu prime miner uses getwork to connect to the primecoind daemon so I would think I should be able to connect to beeeer.org with it as well but when I try to connect it states that curl throws an error 52 which means it got an empty or bad response… this might not be possible to do but I dont see any reason as of right now why it wont work unless getwork has been turned off.

SOLVED
I have some trouble on a Windows machine (using http://www.mediafire.com/download/lw5v9ck4bho1dts/primeminer_v02_x86_and_x64.zip.zip)
I tried to connect to the pool using ssh forwarding (I let the miner connect to 127.0.0.1:1337 and forward that connection to 5.45.100.191:1337, here is the start script for the miner: primeminer_x32.exe -pooluser= -poolpassword=0 -poolip=127.0.0.1 -poolport=1337), but I get “system:10061” error messages.
Although I don’t know why this shouldn’t work, I see that it doesn’t.
Any ideas?
What does “system:10061” mean?

[edit]
I don’t know what went wrong in first place, but it works perfectly now that I restarted the ssh application. I have some more computing power to direct to the pool :wink:
[/edit]

@Asphyxiated:
What command do you use to connect to beeeeer.org? Are you using port 9912 (‘getwork’) ?

ps. thank you for using this thread

I am trying to build the miner using commit 7b239dd on prescise1-Ubuntu. I get this error when g++ tries to compile alert.cpp : boost/algorithm/string/classification.cpp: No such files or directory

@mhps:
install boost library

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
or for everything:
sudo apt-get install git g++ libboost-all-dev libdb+±dev build-essential libgmp-dev libssl-dev

(it’s recommended to build the gmp library from scratch with the latest version)

[quote=“Sy, post:226, topic:342”]Is it possible to “proxy” this pool via iptables?

I tried

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1337 -j DNAT --to-destination 5.45.100.191:1337

but thats not working, i think its connecting but it keeps spamming a system #random number# message.[/quote]

I tried using a socks proxy combined with ssh forwarding. It turns out that this combination worked - at least for me. I did this on a Windows machine, but with Linux you should be able to do the same

ssh localhost -L 1337: beeeeer.org:1337 -N
and start the miner with 
primeminer -pooluser=yourAddressHere -poolpassword=0 -poolip=127.0.0.1 -poolport=1337 -genproclimit=whateverSuitsYourNeeds

I haven’t tried this, but maybe you want to? :wink:

Same, no error - just System:113 every few seconds…i think i have to read into iptables and masquerade my connection…something like that ^^

There was a space in the command - you didn’t fall into that trap? I guess no, there should be an error message…

Ubuntu 10.04 is rather old. maybe you nee git-core instead? And if you are already logged in as root, “sudo” is not necessary.

apt-get install git-core

Thanks. It compiles nicely.

Looks like to have to download it and compile it on your own… (or you find a compatible installer package)
-> http://gmplib.org/

There was a space in the command - you didn’t fall into that trap? I guess no, there should be an error message…

Yeah i noticed the space ;D gave me an error, removed it, still not working - miner doesn’t say he can’t connect, just getting no work :frowning:

I tried to forward via iptables plus masquerade that port in postroute rules but with the same result - that should in theory work though :cry:

@Boo-Boo:
Lucid is really really old, if you don’t want to compile it (which is actually recommended, but more difficult), try to install the packages…
libgmp3-dev
libgmpxx4ldbl

the names for packages change sometimes (from one release to the next). check:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ (ubuntu)
or
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages (debian)

@Sy:
sorry, i’m not to familiar with masquerading via iptables. last time i used this is years ago :slight_smile:
maybe someone else can help.

After compiling the miner on ubuntu I found it being able to start but just stuck there and not working. I suspect the miner was not communicating to the server so I tried your method. It didn’t work. Then I realized the 1337 port might be too low to be allowed on the local system (a virtual machine), so I changed it to

ssh localhost -L 11337:beeeeer.org:1337 -N
[code] primeminer -pooluser=... -poolpassword=0 -poolip=localhost -poolport=11337 -genproclimit=... [/code] and it starts to mine.

I suggest beeeeer.org use a port number greater than 10000 in the future.

edit: The miner finds a lot of “Probable prime chains” but there are only a few
[MASTER] submitted shares --> SHARE
Why is that?
