Seems quite a nice server setup you have going there, I’d never of thought you’d splash out on such hardware for a startup pool.
Although curiosity forces me to ask; Do you own the hardware by any chance, as in at your home?
Also, you may want to correct one error and very quickly, your domain is being referred to your local LAN IP ( 192.168.0.109 ) and thus only you will ever be able to see it. I’d advise you get your WAN IP from somewhere like : http://whatsmyip.tiff-tools.com/ and substitute it in instead.
[code]
C:\Windows\system32>nslookup fcp2pool.no-ip.biz
Server: cache1.service.virginmedia.net
Address: 194.168.4.100
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: fcp2pool.no-ip.biz

That is correct. Ill fix this problem as soon as I can. And yes I do own this hardware.
We already Hit 1.5 Mhash! Im looking forward to further Growing
Currently im Working on a German Translated Website and further inprovement on the front end, back end is running just perfectly
I just wanted to mention that a botnet tried to mine at the pool today and made the load go up quite high (from 0.01 to 0.80 where 1.00 is max) within one hour.
Stales were a little higher in this phase unfortunately.
I’ve banned the botnet user (yes, he will not get paid).
Just a short note on that botnet miners:
You are a big problem for the mining community, the users on the pool have problems because of you, I get problems with the servers, with my provider and if everything goes wrong probably also with the law…
The zombie machines you have infected seem to mine with cpu… According to the hashrates I see from these connections. (between 0.5 -> 40khash/s) [b]It is pointless to mine on tailfeather.cc with cpu[/b] as the min diff is 64 and producing a share with this diff in reasonable time is only possible with hashrates (per miner) > 200 kHash/s
So all you basically do is a DDoS of the pool… Nothing else…
Please do something else.
Having really bad luck with these 7970s and Reaper, I just cannot get any form of stability. Cgminer has also developed a lot of issues for me now and it’s only on FTC pools… Maybe the end is nigh before I even got anywhere x:

If your main goal with setting up a server is to contribute to the community p2pool is probably your best choice as it functions more like a node of one massive pool rather than an individual pool. Also, as you previously mentioned, p2pool is generally far easier to set up.

But the forrestv’s p2pool doesn’t support the FeatherCoin!any other solutions?

I did use https://github.com/chrda/p2pool-fc.git bit that seems to be no longer available. Not sure why that is the case. If you PM / email me, i might send it to you by email, if you like…

Okay – so I’ve done some playing around with GUI-Miner. My findings thus far:
Hash is affected by the pool choice. For me - featherpool.com was about 350 kh/s slower than using fcpool.com. Not sure if latency is the problem(not sure where either pool is hosted).
When using GUI-Miner for FTC – create new Reaper Miner Logs, Reaper seems to be rocking better than cgminer for me anyway. Using Reaper – I’m hashing at my normal LTC speed.

Fair enough findings, cgminer (believe it or not) is a better miner than Reaper for Scrypt. BUT, cgminer requires a lot more work to get a higher hashrate.
Cgminer nets me 400 khash on my 6950, whilst reaper gets me upto 430khash.
Yup, you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head:
“Scrypt hashing speed is estimated to be 1000 times slower than SHA-256.”
Scrypt mining (FTC/LTC) also puts a tad more strain onto hardware than SHA-256 mining (BTC) does.

Got a NVIDIA GEFORCE 520M CUDA GPU, so how long would it take to farm one feather coin?
[/quote]
Nvidia GPUs are really not efficient enough at coin mining to make it worth it. This is not to say the Nvidia makes crappy video cards, quite the opposite, in fact I use Nvidia in my main PC. Mostly so i will not be concerned with mining with it all the time, but also because they make a good product.
2 main reasons AMD GPUS are good for Mining and Nvidia GPUs are not good for mining, but still excellent for gaming.
1. Nvidia builds their GPU with the less but smarter philosophy. Nvidia cards have far fewer shade units, but they are much smarter then AMD shaders. AMD takes the “sweat shop” approach. Mining involves many,many small and simple calculations, in this case AMD design philosophy works better.
2. Bit shifting. Nvidia shaders can take 2 or 3 cycles to do various bit shifting operations, which are constantly being used when mining. AMD shaders can do the shifting operations in 1 cycle.
Both AMD and Nivida make a good product that works well for what it is intended for…Gaming.
AMD design just happens to be 10x + better at mining, which is a secondary function neither manufacturer builds to.
For the most part, one would spend much more on electricity to mine with an Nividia GPU, then they could ever hope to gain back by the mining.
I have enough gpus to solo with even taking half a day with current clutter with gpus.
–scrypt --fix-protocol --thread-concurrency blab bla bla for each gpu --shaders bla bla bla for each gpu -I bla for each lol -w 256 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 -s 10 --expiry 1 --queue 0
anything else to add to them settings ?
and conf file
server=1
daemon=1
gen=0
rpcport=8100
port=8101
and has ips and username and pass in
I want to add my thanks as well. I am not currently having any problems, but I did learn some new things from this thread. I want to thank the OP for not being afraid to “look stupid,” because by daring to ask the question, I got to learn something from the highly informative followup posts. Thanks and kudos all around!
You could try (nearby) solomining with a pretty small pool or group mining with a bigger one. Smaller pools mean more FC but also higher risk to get nothing. Larger pools are solid but you have a lot less profit. A small pool I found is at http://178.254.26.97:81/ a bigger one is http://www.fcpool.com/ or any other just choose what you prefer. 200/eg 5 or 200/200 but steady payouts eg 10 FC per day. Choose wise.
It’s up to you.

Okay I got cuda to work. I went from the 55k hash to over 110
It takes some playing around with to find the sweet spot though…
WHat I ended up doing was dling everything listed and installing ( be carefull that you have C++ 08 and 10 installed too ) unpacking it all into a folder together… made a shortcut to the desktop… and then adding the flags/ site info into it.
Here is an example what the shortcut has added to it:
C:\Users\Mine\Downloads\cudaminer-2013-04-22\cudaminer.exe -i 0 -l 42x7 -C 2 -o “website” -O “username”:“Password”
PSS…my 540 went from 35k to 75k with cuda. I think i put the -l 8x8 or something not sure… I am still playing around with my main card lol
I am still looking around for the best settings for my cards, but this more or less has doubled the output.
PS… when you make a shortcut to the desktop you right click on it and then select properties… then a box should pop up that allows you to add the stuff in it.

Can you explain how you got it to work? I’ve installed cudaminer and I created a launch.bat file, but when I run it, I don’t think it’s detecting my card. Any help would be appreciated.
