      It will be setup on a server soon.

      I’ll announce here, when the test installation is ready.

              addrdb=1
              defaultkey=1

              These are Phoenixcoin specific options. addrdb enables use of Berkeley address DB engine (addr.dat) instead of the Bitcoin default address engine (peers.dat). defaultkey assigns solo mined blocks to a single wallet address instead of generating a new address for every new block. Feathercoin doesn’t support these options and ignores them.

                  There is a problem that the wallet doesn’t accept the blocks found by the p2pool.

                  The current version on github has disabled a couple of sanity checks to get the communication between the miner and the pool working.

                  –debug option or the wallet shows in the log:

                      Just some ideas to test.

                      Are some of the transaction validations scrypt specific? and need updating in the code.

                      Some of the p2pool settings are incorrect for the testnet, Lizhi, although you must have fixed that, to get it working at all.

                      these are the wrong ports for the testnet.

                      –feathercoind-p2p-port 9336 --feathercoind-rpc-port 9337

                      I also had problems because there are requirements to the p2pool - rpc password, its got to have numbers and letters, of which some have to be capital letters. I don’t know if “12345” works

                        Disable submitblock and let it use getblocktemplate to return block data. There is also getblockex, but it seems deprecated and unsupported now.

                            A new problem. It will not work in mining three minutes later.

                            after three minutes , Minerd.exe stop .

                            some error information in p2pool log:

                              Lizhi, the errors regarding webroot.putchild are normal as long as no other p2pool node has a worker connected. It simply can’t determine the global pool hash rate.

                              To give an update on my tests:

                              1. neoscrypt module for p2pool installed in python with profile 0

                              2. used ghostlanders neoscrypt p2pool as basis and added the feathercoin infos in networks.py and bitcoin/networks.py

                              3. forced the pool to use getblocktemplate, as suggested by ghostlander

                              4. current log shows:

                                2014-08-05 19:06:05.383892 Worker mrKP5thmnTRxV2Em8x3d8pamPXWHtv2Ed submitted share with hash > target:
                                2014-08-05 19:06:05.384129 Hash:   67146109f860500455e07f9c06a298ec2bd85202c42c18bd0bd63bf0cb059a5e
                                2014-08-05 19:06:05.384219 Target: a6c64b37894160e5d022dbf97e6abc74931804560e2db29defa7c64b378941

                              5. implemented reversebyte to change from big endian to little endian for target.

                              this changes the target, but as the Pow_hash has 2 bytes more than the target, it is always bigger than the target.

                              I noticed, that Ghoslander has aa pcx p2pool running on his testnet, which is on neoscrypt, so I send him a message to ask what he has modified to get it running.

                                new commit on github, including reversebyte.py, which was missing.

                                Still not working

                                      I spend half a day on the p2pool stuff again
                                      no results
                                      what I noticed is, that the p2pool neoscrypt module produces wrong results while the same code runs fine in the wallet, so it may be ‘just’ a problem of function calls and parameter transfer between python and C++.

                                      also if I read it right, the Wallet code passes variables to the neoscrypt procedure, as in GetPowHash() in main.h, while the python passes pointer to structures??

                                      Eample from wallet main.h:

                                      /* Calculates block proof-of-work hash using either NeoScrypt or Scrypt */
uint256 GetPoWHash() const {
unsigned int profile = 0x0;
uint256 hash;

/* All blocks generated up to this time point are Scrypt only */
if((fTestNet && (nTime < nTestnetSwitchV2)) ||
(!fTestNet && (nTime < nSwitchV2))) {
profile = 0x3;
} else {
/* All these blocks must be v2+ with valid nHeight */
int nHeight = GetBlockHeight();
if(fTestNet) {
if(nHeight < nTestnetFork)
profile = 0x3;
} else {
if(nHeight < nForkFour)
profile = 0x3;
}
}

neoscrypt((unsigned char *) &nVersion, (unsigned char *) &hash, profile);

return hash;
} 

                                      Example from p2pool/work.py:

                                       
pow_hash = self.node.net.PARENT.POW_FUNC(bitcoin_data.block_header_type.pack(header))

                                      Where header is a dict in python.

                                        Wellen,

                                        I’m at the same point as you now :(

                                        I get everything looking like it’s running well but nothing is accepted by the wallet, I’ll keep pluggin away but I’m some what in the dark here as my coding skills are limited in this area :(

                                        UM

                                          The miner says ’ hash accepted’ , but in the p2pool log you will see entries like ‘worker xyz submitted share with hash > target’

                                            I think it is in main.py.
