Comparison of mining pools

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPLNSG''' - Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). Similar to PPLNS, but shares are grouped into "shifts" which are paid as a whole.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

= User Guide =<br />
* Connect your laptop to the eithernet port of the Avalon<br />
* Setup your laptop IP address 192.168.0.101<br />
* Open http://192.168.0.100<br />
* Make sure WR703N can access Internet, Configure WiFi: Network -> WIFI -> Scan(select your WIFI network) -> Join Network -> WPA passphrase -> Submit -> Save & Apply for connect to WIFI Internet<br />
* setup your mining worker: Status -> Cgminer Configuration. <br />
* Restart the cgminer service: System -> Startup, <br />
* Check your avalon status: Status -> Cgminer Status<br />
* Setup password/using ssh<br />
ssh root@192.168.0.100 # Once you setup the password the telnet service will be stop. use ssh instead.<br />
<br />
== Cgminer option ==<br />
'''--avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282'''. this is the default avalon option. here is the details:<br />
'''115200''': the serial baud. this have to match the controller baud.<br />
'''24''': the miner count.(there are 3 modulars in avalon. each modular have 8 miners), if your avalon have 4 modulars. change it to 32<br />
'''10''': the chip count pre miner.<br />
'''45''': the controller timeout parameter. the valid number: 50, 47, 45, 40.<br />
'''282''': the chip clock. the valid number: 256, 270, 282, 300.<br />
<br />
== Run cgminer manually ==<br />
In case you need to run Cgminer in linux console please run the following command:<br />
*Restart Cgminer:<br />
# /etc/init.d/cgminer restart<br />
<br />
If your avalon does not mine properly, please run Cgminer in debug mode with -D --verbose option. For example:<br />
# cgminer -S /dev/ttyUSB0 -o stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -O xxxx:yyyy -D --verbose --avalon-options 115200:24:10:45:282 --api-allow "W:0/0" --api-listen 2>/tmp/cgminer-debug.log<br />
<br />
== TP-LINK TL-WR703N ==<br />
There is a modify version of TP-LINK TP-WR703N inside Avalon. cgminer running at 703n, this 703n have 64MB ram and modified power supply. it power from the usb-client side(we moved a 0R resistor from '''J1''' to '''R113''' for that)<br />
<br />
Why there is a ugly USB HUB there? you can find more information about AR9331's usb stability issue [https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=39956 here].<br />
<br />
=== How to reflash ===<br />
# Download latest Avalon [http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/latest/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory.bin image] to your PC.<br />
# Goto:<br />
System -> Backup / Flash Firmware -> Flash new firmware image (make sure '''Keep settings''' is checked)<br />
# Select the image you just download. then compare the md5 in next page. if everything fine. click '''Proceed'''<br />
<br />
'''Attention:''' To avoid your WR703N become a brick, during flash your WR703N be careful DO NOT power off avalon, and DO NOT break your network connection. Just wait there till you see OpenWrt login web page again.<br />
<br />
'''Attention:''' If not essential please do not re-Flash your Avalon. Because not all of WR703N issue could be resolved by reset button. If you want to play WR703N I would like to recommend you order a standalone TP-LINK WR703N from ebay or somewhere for studying purpose.<br />
<br />
== WIFI or Ethernet Cable ? ==<br />
Avalon shipped with a 9db antenna after connect it to WR703N usually could establish good wireless connection with your WIFI router. But if for some reason you would like to use Ethernet Cable to connect Avalon with your network, please login OpenWrt and configure the LAN port:<br />
Network -> Interfaces -> LAN -> Edit -> Common Configuration -> General Setup<br />
Disable the DHCP on Lan port<br />
<br />
'''Attention:''' You need to configure it correctly based on your own network enviroment. If anything wrong you might could not access your WR703N any more.<br />
<br />
== Start to mine ==<br />
To maximize your Avalon miner's performance, it is recommended that you choose pools with the stratum protocol supported. The default mining pool configured in Avalon is ozco.in. To change it login to OpenWrt:<br />
Status -> Cgminer Configuration<br />
Click "Save & Apply" to save your update and restart cgminer immediately<br />
<br />
Currently the stratum pools that could work stable with Avalon are:<br />
* [http://50btc.com/ 50BTC.com]<br />
* [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0 Solo mining with Eloipool]<br />

* [http://www.btcguild.com btcguild]<br />
* [http://mining.bitcoin.cz slush's pool]<br />
* [http://www.triplemining.com Triplemining]<br />
<br />
To get more information about how to configure specific pools, please check their website. If you run multiple Avalons, we recommend that you create a dedicated worker for each of them. This will make it easier to monitor your Avalons through the pool's website and identify possible problems.<br />

== FPGA controller ==<br />
=== V1.0 ~ V1.2 ===<br />
About '''P5''' jumper: close this jumper will supply 5V to the USB-B port. in this system, the controller board power the 703N from the client side. if you connect the controller itself to a PC, you better remove the jumper.<br />
<br />
=== V1.5 ===<br />
[[File:Avalon fpga controller v1.5.jpg | 320px]] [[File:Avalon fpga controller v1.5 usb hub.jpg | 320px]]<br />
* Remove the '''[http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/13207881/1024/Anonymous/avf1.png F1(Fuse)]''' for fix the USB-HUB chip overheat, <br />
# if you are batch2 user and your received Avalon between '''Apr 26 2013 ~ May 31 2013'''<br />
# the FPGA controller is '''1.5'''<br />
# your FPGA contoller board still have '''F1 mounted'''<br />
you need do this by yourself. removing F1 will not make the usb hub stop working, F1 powers the USB-A1 plug (which is normally unused), more info please checkout [https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-ref/issues/5 here]<br />
<br />
=== V1.51 ===<br />
* Fixed USB-HUB chip overheat, NO NEEDS remove F1 anymore<br />

== P2Pool Operation with Avalon ==<br />
There is an /avalon branch Forrest committed to the p2pool github repository. Make sure that is checked out.<br />
<br />
Next, the following option may need to be passed to Avalon's cgminer:<br />
'''--fix-protocol''': Do not redirect to a different getwork protocol (eg. stratum)<br />
<br />
The current /avalon branch from Forrest is likely now functional. Please test and report your findings to the IRC channel.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': The best performance the small handful of users who got this working have reported is still about 25-30% DOA against P2Pool (versus the usual DOA of 8-15% or so.) So it's close to desired, but be aware that getting things working in this state currently requires command-line skills and the ability to check-out branches from p2pool's git repository. For the moment, your most efficient options are solo-mining with local pool software, or just using one of the online pools.<br />
<br />
== About [usb 1-1: clear tt 1 (8030) error -71] ==<br />
Not all 703n have this problem. ignore this section if you never meet this error<br />
<br />
* There is a power issue with the 703N, The 703N is drawing to much power it caused the USB HUB chip on Senseless's FPGA controller to nearly destroy itself. See the destruction [ http://www.mysenselesslife.com/avalon/DSCN5212.JPG here]<br />
<br />
* In order to fix it you need had to '''power down the WiFi modem by disable it''', use Eithernet instead. The kernel no long report -71 errors. thanks to senseless and others who help on identify the issue.<br />
<br />
* If your avalon was far away from your router. eithernet cable not fit. you may want try those kind of devices<br />

<br />
== Others ==<br />
* There is a pair of gloves in Avalon package. please put it on when assembling or carrying.<br />
<br />
* About the plastic sheets: please '''remove them BEFORE''' mining. we design the case as a part of heatsink, so remove the plastic sheets is a must<br />
<br />
* About FAN change: '''DO NOT''' change the fans to a low speed model. will cause over heat. '''DO NOT''' install extra fans at the rear "fan socket". will cause PSU over heat and nearly useless for module cooling.<br />
<br />
* About install extra heat-sinks on each avalon chip: please do not do that. there is a air gap between the die and package top, install a heatsink on chip is useless. and will cause overheating. because the top PCB copper act as a heatsink too. do not cover them.<br />
<br />
* About water cooling: yes, do it.<br />

= How to Compile Your Own Firmware for Avalon =<br />
1. First check if you have met the building prerequisites. Checkout this page first [http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation]<br />
<br />
For example, if your OS is Ubuntu/Debian, install the required packages like this:<br />
sudo apt-get update<br />
sudo apt-get install gawk flex quilt xsltproc unzip subversion git-core build-essential libxml-parser-perl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev liblua5.1-0-dev<br />
<br />
2. Now get the source code, prepare the code and build. '''this needs ~6GB'''<br />
wget https://raw.github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-extras/master/scripts/build-avalon-image.sh<br />
chmod +x build-avalon-image.sh<br />
./build-avalon-image.sh --clone #prepare the code and build, '''ONLY NEED ONCE'''<br />
./build-avalon-image.sh<br />
<br />
3. Update all repos<br />
./build-avalon-image.sh --update<br />
<br />
4. Only rebuild cgminer<br />
./build-avalon-image.sh --cgminer<br />
<br />
5. Finally you could get the freshly built firmware files under '''avalon/bin/'''<br />
<br />
== Compile with kernel usbmon ==<br />
* You need apply [https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2013-May/020107.html this patch] to your OpenWrt for enable [https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt usbmon]<br />
* Run '''make menuconfig''' goto '''Kernel modules''' --> '''USB Support''' enable '''kmod-usb-mon'''<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<p>Igor: </p>
<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shasres. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

Stratum

<p>Igor: </p>
<hr />
<div>Stratum is a proposal for an open source client-server "Overlay" protocol that enables thin clients (currently used by Electrum client). Stratum protocol is also used for pooled mining as a replacement for obsolete [[Getwork|getwork]] protocol. Full mining service specification is available on [http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining/ Slush's pool website]. Other examples are available on [https://www.btcguild.com/new_protocol.php BTC Guild's website]. See also [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55842.0 on the forums] and [http://blog.bitcoin.cz/stratum the official site].<br />

Comparison of mining pools
2013-01-10T22:11:55Z
<p>Igor: </p>
<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 25 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''POT''' - Pay On Target. A high variance PPS variant that pays on the difficulty of work retuened to pool rather than the difficulty of work served by pool [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131376.0]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

Getblocktemplate
2012-11-13T10:43:55Z
<p>Igor: /* For miners */</p>
<hr />
<div>getblocktemplate is the new decentralized Bitcoin mining protocol, openly developed by the Bitcoin community over mid 2012.<br />
It supercedes the old getwork mining protocol, and is expected to replace it entirely before 2013.<br />
<br />
{{TOC limit|3}}<br />
<br />
==Why change something that works?==<br />
<br />
===Decentralization===<br />
The original getwork mining protocol simply issues block headers for a miner to solve.<br />
The miner is kept in the dark as to what is actually in this block, and has no influence over it.<br />
In effect, the authority of the miner to decide which transactions are accepted, etc, is all transferred blindly to the pool operator.<br />
A corrupt (or compromised) pool operator could use the combined hash power of all the miners to execute double spend attacks or other similar attacks.<br />
<br />
getblocktemplate moves block creation to the miner, while giving pools a way to set down the rules for participation.<br />
While pools can do just as much as they could before by expressing it in these rules, miners can not be kept in the dark and are enabled to freely choose what they participate in mining.<br />
This improves the security of the Bitcoin network by making blocks decentralized again.<br />
<br />
===ASICs===<br />
The original getwork protocol only provides a single block header, which is sufficient for a total of about 4 GH of mining.<br />
With the "rollntime" extension, this can be extended to 4 GH *per second*, but even that is far from sufficient for the next generation of mining equipment (ASICs) which are capable of 1000 GH/s on the high end.<br />
<br />
By moving block creation to the miners, they are enabled to create as much work as they need locally, thus overcoming this limitation.<br />
<br />
===Scalability===<br />
Due to scalability problems, bitcoind's JSON-RPC stack has not been able to keep up with the hashrates needed for solo mining today.<br />
Since getblocktemplate drastically reduces the load required to a single request per new block on the network, direct solo mining on bitcoind is again possible.<br />
Poolservers likewise benefit from having to meet much lower demands of miners who can make their own blocks.<br />
<br />
===Extensible===<br />
The original getwork protocol was designed in a way that was very incompatible with extensions.<br />
As a result, as new functionality was needed, extensions were "hacked in" out-of-band using HTTP headers.<br />
getblocktemplate is designed from the start to be flexible for future extensions, and the [[BIP 0023|BIP 23]] specification already covers how the established getwork extensions can be implemented cleanly, regardless of transport protocol.<br />
<br />

<br />
===For developers===<br />
====Mining software====<br />
=====Using libblkmaker (C library)=====<br />
If your miner can include C libraries, you can harness [http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/libblkmaker libblkmaker] to do all the GBT interpretation for you:<br />
all your miner needs to do then is handle the networking (libblkmaker can prepare the JSON for you) and ask libblkmaker for data (block headers to search).<br />
Note that libblkmaker does not provide a SHA256 implementation, and your miner needs to provide one for it to work.<br />
libblkmaker currently only supports the Jansson JSON library, but was designed such that it can easily be ported to others;<br />
[[User:Luke-jr|Luke Dashjr]] is willing to do this porting to other JSON libraries free of charge on request.<br />
<br />
=====Using python-blkmaker=====<br />
If your miner is written in Python, you can harness [http://gitorious.org/bitcoin/python-blkmaker python-blkmaker], a native Python port of libblkmaker, to do all the GBT interpretation for you:<br />
all your miner needs to do then is handle the networking (python-blkmaker can prepare the JSON for you) and ask the blkmaker module for data (block headers to search).<br />
A short example Python script is included that finds a prepared share using CPU mining.<br />
<br />
=====From scratch=====<br />
======Miner requests block template======<br />
<br />
To start participating, the miner contacts the pool and requests an initial template:<br />
{"id": 0, "method": "getblocktemplate", "params": [{"capabilities": ["coinbasetxn", "workid", "coinbase/append"]}]}<br />
<br />
The server will respond with the full details needed to immediately begin mining blocks:<br />
{<br />
"error": null,<br />
"result": {<br />
"coinbasetxn": {<br />
"data": "0100000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000<br />
0000000000ffffffff1302955d0f00456c6967697573005047dc66085fffffffff02fff1052a01<br />
0000001976a9144ebeb1cd26d6227635828d60d3e0ed7d0da248fb88ac01000000000000001976<br />
a9147c866aee1fa2f3b3d5effad576df3dbf1f07475588ac00000000"<br />
},<br />
"previousblockhash": "000000004d424dec1c660a68456b8271d09628a80cc62583e5904f5894a2483c",<br />
"transactions": [],<br />
"expires": 120,<br />
"target": "00000000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff",<br />
"longpollid": "some gibberish",<br />
"height": 23957,<br />
"version": 2,<br />
"curtime": 1346886758,<br />
"mutable": ["coinbase/append"],<br />
"bits": "ffff001d"<br />
},<br />
"id": 0<br />
}<br />
<br />
======How to build coinbase transaction======<br />
If the pool allows the "coinbase/append" mutation by including it in the "mutable" key, you can rebuild the coinbase transaction to append any data your miner wants, such as an extranonce - you can use as much space as you need so long as the coinbase data does not overflow the 100 byte hard limit.<br />
If the server does *not* allow "coinbase/append", or you don't care to change it, you can skip this step entirely :)<br />
<br />
The coinbase data always begins after exactly 42 bytes of the coinbase transaction.<br />
The 42nd byte (that is, the byte immediately before the data) is the length of the data.<br />
So when/if you want to add on to the coinbase data, simply insert it 42+DataLen bytes into the transaction, and increment the 42nd byte by the length of your inserted data.<br />
<br />
Python example:<br />
import binascii<br />
coinbase = binascii.a2b_hex(template['coinbasetxn']['data'])<br />
extradata = b'my block'<br />
# The following can be done better in both Python 2 and Python 3, but this way works with both<br />
origLen = ord(coinbase[41:42])<br />
newLen = origLen + len(extradata)<br />
coinbase = coinbase[0:41] + chr(newLen).encode('ascii') + coinbase[42:42 + origLen] + extradata + coinbase[42 + origLen:]<br />
<br />
======How to build merkle root======<br />
Collect your coinbase transaction (modified or not) at the front of the "transactions" list provided by the server.<br />
Apply a double-SHA256 hash to each transaction in the list.<br />
<br />
Now, as long as the list has more than 1 hash remaining, go through each pair and hash them together.<br />
That is, concatenate the first two, double-SHA256 that, repeat for the next two, and so on.<br />
If you encounter an odd pair (that is, the hash list ends with a single item and no pairing), concatenate it with itself and hash that.<br />
Continue to do that until there is only one hash left:<br />
that is your merkle root.<br />
<br />
Python example:<br />
import hashlib<br />
def dblsha(data):<br />
return hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(data).digest()).digest()<br />
<br />
txnlist = [coinbase] + [binascii.a2b_hex(a['data']) for a in template['transactions']]<br />
merklehashes = [dblsha(t) for t in txnlist]<br />
while len(merklehashes) > 1:<br />
if len(merklehashes) % 2:<br />
merklehashes.append(merklehashes[-1])<br />
merklehashes = [dblsha(merklehashes[i] + merklehashes[i + 1]) for i in range(0, len(merklehashes), 2)]<br />
merkleroot = merklehashes[0]<br />
<br />
======How to build block header======<br />
Assemble the block header as laid out in the Bitcoin [[block hashing algorithm]], using the data provided in the block template along with your very own merkle root.<br />
Note that miners are expected to check the "version" number, and should not create blocks with versions they do not understand unless the server instructs them to do so with the "version/force" or "version/reduce" mutations - you don't need to support those, but if you don't support the version the server has provided, understand that the server may reject submissions if they don't meet some unknown future rules.<br />
As of this time, the current Bitcoin block version is 2, so it is safe to build blocks with version 1 or 2.<br />
<br />
Python example:<br />
import struct<br />
blkheader = struct.pack('<I', template['version']) + \<br />
binascii.a2b_hex(template['previousblockhash']) + \<br />
merkleroot + \<br />
struct.pack('<I', template['curtime']) + \<br />
binascii.a2b_hex(template['bits']) + \<br />
b'NONC'<br />
<br />
======While you're mining======<br />
Since you're making all the blocks yourself, you really don't ever need to get another template... until it's invalid.<br />
Generally, it's a good idea to refresh more often anyway to get more transactions, but it's better to let the pool decide when to do that, since it knows what's changed in the meantime already.<br />
<br />
If your template included a "longpollid" key, you can queue a request for a new template to be executed as soon as the pool decides you should change.<br />
This is the same as any other template request, except that you include the "longpollid" parameter that the pool provided in your request.<br />
If there is already a new template, the pool might respond immediately, so be sure not to depend on a delay!<br />
<br />
So to amend the template request we used initially, now we use:<br />
{"id": 0, "method": "getblocktemplate", "params": [{<br />
"capabilities": ["coinbasetxn", "workid", "coinbase/append"],<br />
"longpollid": "some gibberish",<br />
}]}<br />
<br />
======Submitting shares======<br />
When miner find the job which meets requested difficulty, it can submit the block to the server as a share:<br />
{"id": 0, "method": "submitblock", "params": [<br />
"020000003c48a294584f90e58325c60ca82896d071826b45680a661cec4d424d00000000<br />
de6433d46c0c7f50d84a05aec77be0199176cdd47f77e344b6f50c84380fddba66dc47501d00ff<br />
ff0000010001010000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000<br />
00000000ffffffff1302955d0f00456c6967697573005047dc66085fffffffff02fff1052a0100<br />
00001976a9144ebeb1cd26d6227635828d60d3e0ed7d0da248fb88ac01000000000000001976a9<br />
147c866aee1fa2f3b3d5effad576df3dbf1f07475588ac00000000"<br />
]}<br />
<br />
To assemble the block data, simply concatenate your block header, number of transactions encoded in [[Protocol specification#Variable length integer|Bitcoin varint format]], followed by each of the transactions in your block (beginning with the coinbase).<br />
If the server has listed "submit/coinbase" in its "mutable" key, you may opt to omit the transactions after the coinbase.<br />
<br />
Python example:<br />
def varintEncode(n):<br />
if n < 0xfd:<br />
return struct.pack('<B', n)<br />
# NOTE: Technically, there are more encodings for numbers bigger than<br />
# 16-bit, but transaction counts can't be that high with version 2 Bitcoin<br />
# blocks<br />
return b'\xfd' + struct.pack('<H', n)<br />
blkdata = blkheader + varintEncode(len(txnlist)) + coinbase<br />
if 'submit/coinbase' not in template.get('mutable', ()):<br />
for txn in txnlist[1:]:<br />
blkdata += txn<br />
<br />

* [[BIP 0023#Mutations|BIP 23 Mutation "time/increment"]] (be sure to specify "maxtime" or "maxtimeoff"!)<br />
<br />
==Technical specifications==<br />
* [[BIP 0022|BIP 22: getblocktemplate - Fundamentals]]<br />
* [[BIP 0023|BIP 23: getblocktemplate - Pooled Mining]]<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Getblocktemplate's origins trace back to forrestv's getmemorypool JSON-RPC method for bitcoind.<br />
He created it so that his pool ([[P2Pool]]) could piggy-back on bitcoind so as to avoid harming the Bitcoin network (up to this point, it mined only empty blocks that never confirmed transactions).<br />
Having been fighting with scalability problems in pushpool/bitcoind for months on his pool ([[Eligius]]), Luke-Jr set out to implement a fast pool server using getmemorypool to do its own block production (this became [[Eloipool]], this first open source makes-its-own-blocks poolserver).<br />
Other poolservers also implemented block creation using getmemorypool over the months following.<br />
<br />
At about the same time, interest in decentralizing pooled mining became a hot topic.<br />
While [[BitPenny]] had initially released its own decentralized mining proxy months prior, [[P2Pool]]'s implementation became rapidly popular.<br />
Anyone involved in Bitcoin mining protocols could see the need to move control of block creation back into the hands of the miners.<br />
Unfortunately, both [[BitPenny]] and [[P2Pool]] had used very pool-specific proprietary protocols to implement their decentralization.<br />
On the other hand, getmemorypool was *almost* a perfect fit for the task - it just lacked support for the now-ubiquitous pooled mining extensions that had developed around the getwork protocol over time.<br />
<br />
In February of 2012, Luke implemented and [https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=23768.msg774497#msg774497 deployed] a first draft of getmemorypool mining support in [[Eloipool]] (and on [[Eligius]]) along with a proof-of-concept getwork proxy (now known as gmp-proxy), adding revisions as needed to function as a general-purpose decentralized mining protocol.<br />
After he had confirmed it was working, he documented and proposed it on the [[Bitcoin development mailing list]] for review on February 28th, where discussion began on what was missing and what needed to be changed or clarified.<br />
During the following few months, a number of others, both developers and testers, provided constructive criticism and suggestions, which were integrated into the standard.<br />
Luke also actively encouraged participation in the development of the standard among pool operators and poolserver authors, especially as it became necessary to move forward into the ASIC "mining generation".<br />
Eventually, it was decided it would be best to rename it to the more appropriate "getblocktemplate" name and drop backward compatibility with getmemorypool for simplicity.<br />
The standard was split into two pieces and the technical specification can be found in [[BIP 0022|BIP 22]] and [[BIP 0023|BIP 23]].<br />

Comparison of mining pools
2012-10-28T20:03:49Z
<p>Igor: </p>
<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''DGM''' - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39497.0]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''PPLNS''' - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries.<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''ESMPPS''' - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12181.msg378851#msg378851]<br />
* '''RSMPPS''' - Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but system aims to prioritize the most recent miners first. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''CPPSRB''' - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay]<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />
[http://eligius.st/~luke-jr/samples/800MH-3/ Visual examples of the various payout methods]<br />
