If I copied from the folder page on windows, I will be given

"C:\Users\DATA\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum\keystore"

but smartpool will reject and ask for valid keypath.
I had to manually change them to

"C:/Users/DATA/AppData/Roaming/Ethereum/keystore"

I think it should stop.
In any case, please make sure it stops at least for other errors.

To avoid restoring submitted shares.

The client should notice or stop in hot-stop mode as soon as contract address or client version is changed.

It only stops before interacting with the contract now.

I forgot to set GOPATH and invoked compile.sh. I see error msgs on screen but they end with Done. You can run SmartPool by ./smartpool --help.

In order to prevent share rejection because of missing work in the pool

some discussed strategies:

• For testnet only, we can just drop the claim if a tx is not verified in time (hardcoded 10 mins)
• Rebroadcast the tx with gas price increased by 25% so it can replace the old tx (we are using this strategy now).
• Query last counter from contract side and put all shares of the claim back to active share pool so they can be included in next claim. This is applicable only if tx that is submitting the claim is stuck.
• In mainnet, we might retransmit the tx from some chosen stable public nodes.

• Give same pow work to rigs
• Accept shares from specific rig id
• Provide stats for each rig id

By storing result for some levels from root and then we just need to reconstruct the sub merkle tree which is much smaller (for level 10, 1024 times smaller)

So miners don't have to specify different url for each rig which my be tedious if they have too many rigs

Extradata, Difficulty and Coinbase can be changed between client runs so we need to check all of them before their recovery.

Difficulty and Extradata are done. There is coinbase left.

• When persisting open claims and active claims, "Can't move file because it's being used by other process" in Windows
• Saving active claims to disk...Failed. (rename /Users/victor/.smartpool/active_shares.temp /Users/victor/.smartpool/active_shares: no such file or directory)

This is mostly a housekeeping issue, but figured it is worth it anyway.

The following branches have been fully merged into master already and should really be deleted:

persist_shares
hotfix_issue19_compiling
issue18_check_coinbase
minimerkle_tree
gateway_param
duplicate_share
persist_timestamp
hotfix_submitter_hang

The following branches have already been merged into the develop branch and can therefore probably also be removed:

rigs_support
gas_price_param
persist_work
fix_concurrent_workpool
fix_issue_26
spps
mix_digest
tx_retry_with_higher_price
rig_ip
fix_40
log
tx_retry_on_public_node
web_interface

The only branches that are needed still are produce_test_input, develop, and of course master.

Of course if there is a good reason to keep them, then feel free to close this issue but I think it is easiest to keep track of what is still being worked on this way (and any branch that was merged as a PR is still available in the write-only origin/pr/# namespace).

What does the below error imply? I've tried two already.

• payment per day
• payment last 24 hours, last week, last 30 days
• tx fee stats (last 24 hours, last week, last 30 days)

IMO

Error code: 2214592512 - Error info: 783075685025659740
Got error verifing claim: Contract returned error code 0x84000000(contract balance is too low to pay). Function(verifyClaim)-Name(payment)-Value(0xade0b2fc6333b5c)

Should be replaced with:

Error code: hex value - Error info: hex value
Contract returned error code 0x84000000.
verifyClaim: contract balance is too low to pay. payment is 0xade0b2fc6333b5c

In general case:
Function: error msg. Name is Value.

And release them.
