What should my dcrwallet.conf wallet look like if I am using the same wallet to solo and pool? can I just add the parameters to dcrwallet.conf? currently: username=... password=... dcrdusername=... then just add: enablestakemining pooladdress=DskAyDC8sBiMh2jq8i2EUp8JuC23qYA6tvU poolfees=5 ticketaddress=Dconp7hENnPGJcvD4MM6WWLGyZvzbwVajZx ticketmaxprice=20 can I add two different balancetomaintain args in the config file so that I can transition from solo to pool? very interested in the insider info stats. dcrstats.com has shown me the value of joining dcrpool. Thanks again. I will have the weekend to read up and figure out how to pool.
It is working the way I want it to. My old dcrwallet.conf looked like this: Code: username=USER password=PASS dcrdusername=DCRUSER dcrdpassword=DCRPASS enablestakemining=1 balancetomaintain=0 I added this to dcrwallet.conf: Code: pooladdress=DskAyDC8sBiMh2jq8i2EUp8JuC23qYA6tvU poolfees=5 ticketaddress=Dconp7hENnPGJcvD4MM6WWLGyZvzbwVajZx ticketmaxprice=20 I see tickets being bought on the pool but none being bought solo. This is what I want. All is good. In a month or so I will fully transition to pool. I don't understand why solo is not buying tickets. So far it is pool 12 solo 0 tickets. I thought there would be competition between solo and pool from my wallet.
This is right. If you set pooladdress, you will only use a stake pool to purchase tickets to by default. No solo tickets will be purchased.
thank you for reporting this @MarSas it's a known bug, I introduced it when added Poloniex few weeks ago. I'll fix it asap. Temporarily problem resolved (restart is always the best solution )
Would it be possible to make the pool automatically set the optimal ticket fees to assure purchase or is that not possible? I don't understand how pools work yet unfortunately. Would be great if the pool could automatically use the data from dcrstats and make "smart" decisions like that. Is this doable, in theory?
With artificial intelligence everything is possible! No, im just joking.... This is not possible as the pool have NO control over your funds! You have to set the optimal fees by yourself while purchasing tickets! The pool can not spend your funds or buy tickets for you! I recommend to use the dcrticketbuyer for purchasing tickets!
Did not purchase tickets on pool. Did not buy a single ticket when price was under 20. Was able to buy a ticket manually earlier today which when to stake pool. Code: cat dcrwallet.log | grep -a SStx | grep -ao "[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]" | uniq -c | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/\s\{3,\}/ | /g' thanks @brencelj tells me that 12 tickets were bought on May 27th (these are reflected on dcrstats pool site), 9 tickets were bought on May 28th, and 18 were bought on the 29th. but the pool only shows 12 purchased on the 27th and 1 today. Maybe because I sent the funds to my address right before I tried to buy (after recent ticket price drop) and coins entering my wallet had to wait 254 blocks? But then why does it show tickets purchased when I run the command above?
Hi @eshriek, this command just counts the number of word "SStx" in your logfile. It's not amount of tickets which you've successfully purchased. It is just amount of tickets you tried to purchase. Check my answer in this thread about ticket fees and why you cannot buy cheap ticket with low ticketfee: https://forum.decred.org/threads/problem-bought-tickets-lats-round-2016-05-30-15-dcr-per-ticket.3790
Two small but important updates: 1. Replaced Day Low and Day High prices with value in BTC (before it was in USD). Renamed "Last price" to "DCR / USD" and changed order of the fields. Now looks much better to me: 2. Added table with stats from all Stakepools at the bottom of the main page, ordered descending by amount of Live tickets in the pool. Let me know what do you think about these changes and feel free to ask for any updates and more stats in the Dashboard: https://dcrstats.com PS. @karamble can you please check what is wrong with your pool stats? Did you change something in stakepool "stats.html" page?
This is upsetting me a bit, I've grown used to having USD as my reference. However I concede that the only way you are going to please everybody is to display both USD and BTC, and displaying both will clutter the dashboard.
@Dyrk I suppose in the same boxes of "DAY LOW:" and "DAY HIGH:" you can also put the DCR / $ values, maybe in (parentheses).
I agree. Unless you are a daily user of BTC and check the very fluid BTC/USD conversion factor several times a day, looking at the high/low prices in mBTC really means nothing to me and is not useful. What if you added a drop down currency selector? Instead of displaying BTC/USD/EUR/xxx all on the same page, you could give us the preference of selecting the unit of currency we'd like to see for the applicable data points.
Since you all like that much Low&High price in USD I added it back, now there are both BTC and USD prices Also added percentage of total network tickets to the "Live" column in the PoS pools table.
For PoS pool table, I would like to see a row for Solo miners and sum of all to see if the data are comprised of 100%.
Yeah, should be possible to do. But the problem is that Stats of official stakepool are not visible anymore ( https://stakepool.decred.org/ ), they had about 5% of total tickets, but the last few days this page is always down. So we cannot be sure how many tickets stuck in the official pool for the next 5 months.
they will vote, but this stats is not public anymore. I don't know if you can track your "live" tickets in the Tickets page of https://stakepool.decred.org/ probably it works. But not the public stats page
Sorry about that, the stats page will be functional again soon. A few people bought tickets in the middle of the closing process of the pool so we put it on hold while we try to contact them across more avenues.
