coiniumserv's Issues

Jayrock vs jsonrpc

Currently we use http://jsonrpc2.codeplex.com/ for current stratum server implementation (over raw sockets), though jayrock is another alternative.

We should be better checking them both to see which is better. Some info for reference; #15 (comment)

We are using https://github.com/CoiniumServ/Gibbed.IO right now for byte[] stuff but mono.DataConvert also seems a viable alternative;

What should we implement next?

A working SendJob that can actually send job to miners from coind?

https://github.com/CoiniumServ/coinium/blob/90208b0c7e0567c5ea995e906e0782fdd71cee9d/src/Core/Mining/Miner.cs#L94

or should we just skip stratum for the moment and work on getwork?

Start using moq to create mockups for test.

Merged Mining

Implement a GotWork Eloipool Like system

Reference Proxy for later converstion to C#:
https://github.com/give-me-coins/eloipool-scrypt/blob/master/contrib/merged-mine-proxy

Example GotWork Code from eloipool:

if gotwork and blkhashn <= config.GotWorkTarget:
        try:
            coinbaseMrkl = cbtxn.data
            coinbaseMrkl += blkhash
            steps = workMerkleTree._steps
            coinbaseMrkl += pack('B', len(steps))
            for step in steps:
                coinbaseMrkl += step
            coinbaseMrkl += b"\0\0\0\0"
            info = {}
            info['hash'] = b2a_hex(blkhash).decode('ascii')
            info['header'] = b2a_hex(data).decode('ascii')
            info['coinbaseMrkl'] = b2a_hex(coinbaseMrkl).decode('ascii')
            thr = threading.Thread(target=submitGotwork, args=(info,))
            thr.daemon = True
            thr.start()
        except:
            checkShare.logger.warning('Failed to build gotwork request')

Use json based configs

scrypt / sha256 implementations

As we discussed with ahmed on irc, only road-block could be implementation of crypto algos.

Though a basic search put a few possible libs that we can use:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4845977/net-implementation-of-scrypt
• https://github.com/replicon/Replicon.Cryptography.SCrypt (not sure on this as this is just a wrapper for native libs - and as we need linux / mono support, quite unsure of this).

Null reference exception with mono/ninject

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9211627/ninject-fails-with-nullref-exception-if-there-is-a-property-accessor-in-interfac
• ninject/Ninject#39
• ninject/Ninject#51

seems we have to use ninject for mono - download page lists the build-server;

• https://teamcity.bbv.ch/viewLog.html?buildTypeId=bt7&buildId=lastPinned&tab=artifacts

but the thing how we'll get this automated?

as we are building a server application we mainly target mono + linux - and without getting this automated, ninject will just harm.

more interestingly;

ninject/Ninject#126

they're dropping support for mono - which is quite something I'm not happy with.

Ninject 4.0 will drop support for .NET < 4.0 (and therefore Mono < 4.0)
support so that we can use concurrent collections. For .NET 3.5 application
we will keep bugfixing Ninject 3.x but not add any new features.

and again i'm quite not happy with cryptic errors & exceptions of ninject which made me consider getting it out of the project and instead implement our own dependency injection pattern -- yes we can't have the nifty feature of ninject -- but if we follow our current pattern with a few resolvers we can handle the job i guess..

I vote for the DI pattern for sure but usability should be our main priotry. Wanted to hear you guys opinions.

P2P Support

Implement ITinyIoCObjectLifetimeProvider for better contextual injection

Create an implementation of ITinyIoCObjectLifetimeProvider that will give better contextual injection of some of the classes used on the Pool (IPool). Right now the factories manually inject parameters to some of the managers, services, etc. We can eliminate that by using contextual injection.

BitcoinSharp vs BitcoinLib

Currently we BitcoinSharp (https://github.com/BitKoot/BitcoinRpcSharp) for our coind implementation but another alternative is BitcoinLib (https://github.com/GeorgeKimionis/BitcoinLib).

Although they are quite similar, we should be comparing them both.

Coin Switching via HTTP JSON Port

Implement SetWorkAux Like interface however to be used for switching coins.

---

13:41 <ahmed_> coin switching via CLI or a JSON-RPC api (maybe connect to the getwork port, submit a request and then perform that action)
13:41 <ahmed_> thats how merged mining currently works with eloipool
13:41 <ahmed_> raistlinthewiz: ^
13:41 and we can even support a p2pool like system :)
13:41 <ahmed_> yep
13:42 so you just tell eloipool to switch the coin over json-rpc?
13:42 <ahmed_> atm you cant
13:42 we can have that and even make the coiniumserv to switch on it's own
13:42 <ahmed_> but thats something you can implement
13:42 <ahmed_> what eloipool does do on its getwork port
13:42 just add all thoses to issues list so we won't forget them :)
13:42 <ahmed_> is listen for a request from a specific username which gives it the merged mining work
13:42 <ahmed_> and then it adds that work to the current block template

13:43 <ahmed_> (its called the setworkaux interface)

“Could not load type ‘NuGet.Commands.ProjectFactory

When compiling the project with ubuntu 13.10;

“Could not load type ‘NuGet.Commands.ProjectFactory’ from assembly ‘NuGet, Version=2.0.30619.9000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’.”

The solution;

• http://monomvc.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/nuget-on-mono/#comment-43
• https://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/1271

So you will need a copy of C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\Microsoft.Build.dll in the same location as nuget.exe so mono can find it

Coin & Pool setup and config files

Hi! I really love your new project! Id love to use it on my servers. We compiled everything needed to run coinium, only thing im not able to figure out is coin config. You have this saying on default.conf : " ; To configure per-pool options, create a config file for the desired pool in conf/ and use the pool-sample.conf. " What does that mean? In that file " sample.conf" is litecoin like setup, but i dont know to what file should i rename it or how to force coinium to use that config file bcs when im starting the coinium it points itself to port 3333 by default. So please help if you can. Again I really love your project! :)

test out supersocket (and consider a switch?)

http://www.supersocket.net/

SuperSocket is a light weight, cross platform and extensible .Net/Mono socket server application framework. You can use it to build a server side socket application (like game server, GPS server, industrial control system, data acquisition server etc) easily without thinking about how to use socket, how to maintain the socket connections and how socket works.
