The old approach compared coinbasevalue from two getblocktemplate
calls, but new mempool arrivals between calls masked the displacement
loss. Now uses a single template snapshot to find the marginal
(lowest fee-rate) transaction that would be displaced and reports
its fee as the revenue cost.
Verify the mined block's scriptSig contains "kamado" branding and
btcsig tag, check consensus size limits, and tail bitcoind's
-debug=validation log to show internal block acceptance.
Patch 0007 changes the 6-byte branding string in stratifier.c's
generate_coinbase() so mined blocks identify as "kamado" in the
coinbase scriptSig instead of "ckpool".
Add media queries at 480px/768px across all components: single-column
dashboard cards on phones, progressive table column hiding, smaller
typography, reduced padding, full-width toggle buttons, and compact
header. Desktop layout unchanged.
- Show Bitcoin Core peer count on block height card (hover for in/out)
- BestSharePage disclaimers now use solid blue styling
- Difficulty distribution ranges glow from warm peach to deep red
- Back-to-dashboard buttons always navigate to dashboard instead of
using browser history
When bitcoind is unreachable for 3+ consecutive polls and no block
submission is pending, SIGTERM the ckpool process so miners disconnect
and failover to backup pools. Adds a red dashboard banner when
Bitcoin Core is down.
On ZMQ hashblock events, wait for the ckpool "Block update latency"
log line before firing dashboard RPC calls (getblockchaininfo,
getnetworkhashps, etc). This avoids competing with ckpool's
latency-critical getblocktemplate call for bitcoind RPC threads,
which matters when many services flood bitcoind on every new block.
- Best share page: hex + binary hash comparison against network target,
per-bit coloring showing exactly which bits prevented a valid block,
toggle between network diff at time of finding vs current diff
- Capture best share hash from ckpool logs with one-time backfill
- Persist network difficulty at time of best share for historical accuracy
- Add miner (worker) column to blocks table via coinbase address matching
- Truncate block hashes in table with full hash on hover
- Increase hashrate chart Y-axis to 7 ticks for better readability
Backend:
- Persist best_diff as a high-water mark in kv store so it survives
restarts and transient ckpool gaps
- Persist acked_best_diff so the "new best share" glow survives pool
restarts and works across multiple new bests before dismissal
- Add POST /api/admin/ack-best and /api/admin/reset-ack-best endpoints
Frontend:
- Best share card: golden glow, shimmer, sparkles, "NEW BEST SHARE!"
tag with previous value, "Nice" dismiss button
- Optimistic local override so Nice/test buttons respond instantly
instead of waiting for next WebSocket push
- Fix shimmer sweep to go left-to-right (not start from middle)
- Share animations: reject (red flash + shake) suppresses accept;
reject effect declared first so guard reads correct state
- Share tooltips show exact counts on hover
- Block reward tooltip shows full amount in satoshis
- Expected block uses 1h hashrate instead of 1m
- formatDuration uses full unit names; years always show 1 decimal
- formatWork always shows 2 decimal places
- Map chain "main" to "mainnet" in block height card
Replace the subtle petal animation with a full block-found party:
confetti rain, sakura petals, ember burst, and a dismissible banner
showing block height and reward. Triggers on pool block finds (not
every network block). Animations loop until the user clicks dismiss.
Fix ZMQ stale banner false-positiving during long block intervals by
comparing ZMQ age against tip-change age instead of a fixed 30-min
threshold. Add tip_changed_age to the snapshot so the UI can tell
"no blocks on the network" from "ZMQ is broken". Use solid background
colors on health banners instead of transparent rgba.
Wrap page views in {#key} blocks with a fade-in animation for smooth
transitions. Add Demon Slayer wallpapers as fixed pseudo-element
backgrounds on main (Tanjiro for dashboard, Rengoku for accelerator)
with CSS crossfade. Fix section spacing lost by the page-enter wrapper
div. Minor tooltip text fixes.
Zeroes block-update latency counters (count, sum, last, wasted work)
in both memory and the kv store. Used by the StartOS reset-latency
action to let operators start fresh after tuning.
Log ZMQ→mining.notify latency in ckpool (patch 0005), expose a raw
reject counter (patch 0006), and surface both in the dashboard:
- Block latency card shows avg/last ms, wasted work, and block count
- SharesBar component shows session + all-time accepted/rejected with
a Demon Slayer flame-slash animation on new shares
- Miners card info moved to MinersTable section header
- Latency stats and share counts persist across restarts via kv store
- Removed misleading pool-wide share stats from per-worker/user pages
(ckpool doesn't expose per-user raw counts)
Expose ckpool's per-worker cumulative shares via patch 0004, add a
WorkerDetailPage with hashrate, status, best share with per-worker luck
(bestever/shares*100), and total work with pool share percentage.
Worker names are now clickable in MinersTable and UserDetailPage.
Also centers numeric columns below their headers.
Shows luck as best_share / total_work * 100%. Green for >100% (lucky),
red for <100% (unlucky), multiplier format for >=1000%. Hover tooltip
explains the metric.
Shows which network each block was mined on. Cross-network blocks
display a blue tag with dimmed row; same-network blocks show the
chain name in subdued text. Maps raw identifiers to readable names
(main → mainnet, testnet4 stays as-is).
- Change OrphanedAt from time.Time to *time.Time so JSON omitempty
correctly omits zero values (Go serializes zero time.Time as
"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" which JS treats as truthy)
- Rewrite reconcileOnce with 4-pass architecture: enrichment, reorg
detection via GetBlock verification, false-positive un-orphaning,
and legacy block stamping
- Use inferOtherChain() to stamp cross-network blocks with the correct
chain identifier (testnet4 reports as "testnet4", not "test")
- Move tailer startup after aggregator's first refresh so blocks are
always stamped with the current chain
- Add StampChain store method, debug-blocks admin endpoint, and
comprehensive reconcile tests for cross-network scenarios
When the tailer is parked at EOF polling for new log lines (the steady
state between blocks), a context cancellation causes sleep() to return
false, which previously triggered a bare return without force-saving the
cursor. On restart the throttled saveCursor(false) call had last fired
when the file was at offset 0 (empty on first open), so the tailer
replayed the entire log from the beginning.
The fix adds saveCursor(true) before the return so the cursor is always
flushed at the position we actually read to, regardless of when the
process is stopped.
Found by TestTailerRun_CursorResume, which expects a resumed tailer to
see only newly appended lines and not replay previously processed ones.
Validates the end-to-end path log tailer → aggregator → bitcoind
enrichment → /api/blocks without a real miner:
1. Starts a fresh bitcoind in regtest mode (temp datadir, port 18443)
2. Mines 102 blocks so the coinbase is mature and the target block
is live in bitcoind's chain
3. Starts kamado-api wired to regtest bitcoind (ckpool socket dir
points at an empty dir — connect failures are expected and
non-fatal)
4. Appends "Solved and confirmed block <height>" to the ckpool log
file; the log tailer picks it up and calls getblockhash to enrich
5. Polls /api/blocks until the block appears (up to 30 s)
6. Verifies the hash is a 64-char hex string and matches what bitcoind
returns for getblockhash at that height
The binary is auto-built from source if go is in PATH; set KAMADO_BIN
to skip the build step. All processes and temp files are cleaned up on
exit via trap.
Tests cover the four subsystems that sit between a share submission and
a confirmed block reward:
bitcoind/rpc_test.go — isRetryable classification, 3-attempt backoff
on 503, no retry on semantic RPC errors (-5), retry on warm-up (-28),
CoinbaseReward calculation.
logmon/tailer_test.go — handleLine regex parsing, share-diff carry from
attempt line to block event, diff reset after use, unrelated-line
silence, file-read via goroutine, cursor save/resume across restart,
log rotation re-open.
store/blocks_test.go — InsertBlock roundtrip (all fields including
chain), idempotent dedup, MarkOrphaned, UpdateEnrichment,
BlocksNeedingEnrichment, KV get/set/overwrite, and migration of an
existing DB that lacks the chain column.
state/blocks_test.go — reconcileOnce chain-filter (testnet block not
orphaned on mainnet), genuine reorg detection (different canonical
hash → orphaned), transient RPC error (no orphan on -5), legacy
empty-chain block still checked for reorgs, IngestBlockEvents new
block persisted + confirmed counter incremented, dedup skips counter
and OnRefresh, chain stamped from current snapshot at ingest time.
Blocks are now stamped with the Bitcoin network name ("main", "test",
"signet") at ingest time. The reconcile loop's Pass 2 skips any stored
block whose chain differs from the node's current chain, preventing
testnet blocks from being falsely orphaned after switching back to
mainnet. Legacy rows with an empty chain field fall through unchanged.
The UI shows a blue "test" / "signet" badge next to blocks from a
non-current network so operators can distinguish cross-chain history
from genuine reorg-orphaned blocks.
Removes the entire fallback submitter mechanism: ckpool patch 0004,
the blocksubmit package, the wiring in main.go, the config fields,
the aggregator's fallback counters and snapshot fields, the healthz
fallback fields, and the TS type fields plus the HealthBanners
fallback alert.
Reasoning: ckpool's primary bitcoind submission must remain the
single source of truth, and getting the parallel "race a fallback
during the submit" semantics right is more architectural complexity
than the marginal reliability gain justifies. The original upstream
behavior — submit to bitcoind, retry indefinitely if unavailable —
is what we want.
Kept intact:
* Submit-attempt vs confirmed counters (block_submit_attempts /
block_submits_confirmed). Useful on their own as a "did bitcoind
confirm the submission?" signal.
* HealthBanners shows submit_gap and zmq_stale only.
* /healthz exposes submit_gap, zmq_stale, etc.
* All P0 reliability work (tailer cursor, reconcile loop, reorg
detection, multi-solve guard) and other P1 (RPC retry, WS
back-pressure, ZMQ tracking, startup readiness gate).
Submit-first ordering. Patch 0004 now calls generator_submitblock
BEFORE writing the pending-block hex to disk. The happy path adds zero
disk I/O — we only dump when the primary returned false. The same
patch bounds generator_submitblock's "no live current_si" spin to
~3s instead of the original infinite loop, so a permanently-down
primary doesn't pin the stratifier; the bounded spin lets the caller
return false and lets local_block_submit dump for kamado-api to take
over.
Default grace lowered from 30s to 3s. With ckpool's bounded spin and
sub-second sweep cadence, the fallback now reacts within ~4s of a
failed primary submit — fast enough that the work is still relevant
for the current chain tip. The submitter's sweep poll dropped to 1s
to match.
UI HealthBanners. New top-of-page strip surfaces:
* Fallback used (red banner, 24h after most recent event):
"primary bitcoind didn't accept; backup X took over Y ago"
* Submit gap (orange banner, only when no recent fallback):
"N blocks attempted but unconfirmed — configure backups"
* ZMQ stale (orange banner): no hashblock frame in 30+ minutes
Operators see degraded-but-not-fatal states without checking logs.
Startup readiness gate. main now waits up to 8s on agg.Ready() before
starting the HTTP server so the very first /api/snapshot doesn't show
all-zero state during the aggregator's first refresh. Capped so a
permanently-down bitcoind can't block startup; /healthz is honest
about the degraded state once we do start serving.
P1 audits / fixes:
* Bitcoin Core RPC now retries up to 3 times with linear backoff on
transport errors, 5xx responses, and warm-up/loading RPC errors
(code -28). Hard "no" answers (block-not-found etc.) bubble up
immediately so we don't mask real errors.
* WebSocket hub disconnects clients that miss 6 consecutive broadcasts
(~30s with the default poll cadence). Stuck readers no longer hold
stale snapshots indefinitely or freeze hub state.
* ZMQ subscriber freshness: aggregator records the last-event
timestamp, surfaces zmq_enabled / has_last_zmq_event /
last_zmq_event_age in the snapshot. /healthz flags zmq_stale when
the gap exceeds 30 minutes.
* /healthz expanded with submit_attempts / submits_confirmed /
submit_gap, fallback_submits_total + last_fallback_*, and the zmq
staleness check. Now usable as a real-world ops dashboard signal.
Block-broadcast fallback (new feature):
* ckpool patch 0004: hooks local_block_submit to write the raw block
hex to <logdir>/pending-blocks/<height>-<hash16>.hex right before
invoking generator_submitblock. Unlinks on success. ckpool's normal
flow is otherwise untouched.
* api/internal/blocksubmit: watcher polls the dir every 5s. Files
sitting longer than the grace window (default 30s, configurable)
are re-broadcast through operator-supplied backup RPC URLs in
sequence. Treats both null and any "duplicate*" reject reason as
success (the block landed). Pre-checks the primary chain first so
a stale file from a successful-but-unlinked submit gets cleaned
up without bothering fallbacks.
* Aggregator records each successful fallback submission as a
persistent counter and surfaces it in the snapshot so the UI can
show a "primary bitcoind isn't accepting submits" alert.
* Config: BACKUP_RPC_URLS (comma- or newline-separated, with
optional inline credentials) plus PENDING_BLOCKS_DIR and
PENDING_BLOCKS_GRACE. URLs are parsed via net/url so
https://user:pass@host:port/ works cleanly.
The fallback is opt-in and disabled by default. Once enabled with at
least one URL, a primary bitcoind outage at the moment of solving no
longer means a lost block — kamado-api re-broadcasts via whichever
backup the operator trusts (a second self-hosted node, an
authenticated public RPC service, etc.).
Closes the silent-failure modes between "ckpool logs a solve" and
"block correctly displayed":
* Difficulty estimate matched mempool.space — the projection now uses
(inEpoch + 1) intervals so it converges on Bitcoin Core's eventual
retarget formula at end-of-epoch instead of undershooting by ~0.05–
0.10 % throughout.
* Tailer resumes mid-log on restart — persists (inode, offset) to kv
every EOF + on shutdown, and replays the unread tail next time. Any
solve line written while kamado-api was down would previously be
invisible forever.
* Background reconcile loop (60 s) retries hash/reward enrichment for
blocks the original RPC missed, so a transient bitcoind-index race no
longer permanently leaves a block hashless.
* Reorg detection: same loop compares each recent stored hash against
getblockhash(height); a mismatch stamps orphaned_at. UI renders these
strikethrough with a red "orphaned" tag instead of showing illusory
rewards forever.
* InsertBlock now reports whether a row was actually inserted; the
caller WARN-logs duplicate-height ignores so a re-mined orphaned
height can't disappear silently.
* Submit-attempt vs confirmed counters surface failed submissions:
every "Possible/Submitting block solve" log line increments
block_submit_attempts; "Solved and confirmed" increments
block_submits_confirmed. A growing gap means bitcoind is rejecting
our submissions — previously invisible.
* share_err patch refreshed against pinned ckpool source: added
SE_NO_JOBID -> 21 and SE_WORKER_MISMATCH -> 24 mappings, kept
SE_INVALID_NONCE2 in 20 (it's a malformed-input error, not low-diff).
AxeOS users now see actionable Stratum codes instead of
"unknown error".
UI gets new orphaned_at + block_submit_attempts/confirmed fields on
the snapshot type and a strikethrough-with-tag rendering for orphaned
blocks in BlocksTable.
isOpenSource was matching things like Braiins OS, cgminer, bfgminer,
and a generic "esp32" — software that's open but runs on closed
hardware (Antminer, unknown rigs). public-pool's UI reserves the
star for open-source HARDWARE, with open firmware on top, and that's
the convention to match. New regex covers the family verbatim from
public-pool-ui's user-agent-link switch table:
bitaxe, bitaxeHex, NerdMiner, NerdNOS, NerdAxe, NerdAxeGamma,
NerdOCTAXE, NerdEKO, NerdQAxe+, NerdQAxe++, PiAxe, QAxe, QAxe+,
0xAxe, LeafMiner
Also extend detectHardware so all those user-agents get a recognised
label instead of "esp32" / raw token.
Replace the squished "TLS" pill with an inline-flex badge: 0.78em
text, 5px corners, padlock SVG, generous left/right padding so it
reads at a glance instead of looking like a typo.
Custom block explorer: new optional union under StartOS Advanced
config ("Block Explorer" — defaults to "mempool.space"). Picking
"Custom URL" surfaces the value as MEMPOOL_BASE_URL on the
container env. config.Config picks it up, the aggregator copies
it into every Snapshot (mempool_base_url field), and the UI's
shared explorerBaseFor() helper trusts the custom URL verbatim
when present (no /testnet4 / /signet path appended — a self-hosted
instance is presumably single-network already). Falls back to the
public mempool.space mirrors per chain when unset, which is the
default behaviour.
ckpool's stratum_instance.address (exposed as the "address" field in
the runtime JSON) is the SOURCE IP of the connection — set from
inet_ntop in connector.c — not the BTC payout address. The miner's
BTC payout comes from the stratum username, which ckpool stores in
worker.user (and in the dotted prefix of worker.workername).
Every "user" reference in the dashboard was reading c.address and
treating it as the BTC. Effects:
• clicking an online miner navigated to #/user/<source-ip>; the
UserDetailPage filters never matched and the page rendered with
junk values (or the user struct's stale residual hashrate when
the BTC happened to come from a sibling row).
• offline-miner clicks worked, but totals came from user.dsps*
which decay slowly inside ckpool, so a miner that had just
disconnected still showed positive hashrate for several minutes.
• the "Best (ever)" tile fell back to bestdiff (session) when
bestever was zero, so it lied about its semantics.
Fixes:
• Add btcAddressOf() helper and use w.user (or it) when extracting
the BTC for the user-link button. The source IP gets its own
sub-line under the worker name, clearly labelled.
• Redesign UserDetailPage: filter clients by workername prefix
against the BTC, never by c.address; compute hashrate totals by
SUMMING the user's currently-connected clients (so 0 online
clients => 0 hashrate, no stale decay artifacts); compute
best_ever as max across the user's worker.bestever values; show
online/total worker counts and a per-worker status pill.
• Add an explorer link (mempool.space) for the user's BTC.
TLS detection moves to a clean signal: ckpool now binds two stratum
sockets — public plaintext and loopback-only. stunnel forwards to
the loopback bind, so TLS clients arrive with c.server == 1. The
dashboard reads that and renders a green TLS pill next to the
worker name. No source-IP heuristics needed.
Open-source mark: new isOpenSource() heuristic over the stratum
useragent matches Bitaxe family (NerdAxe / NerdQAxe / NerdMiner /
NerdOctaxe / Lucky / QAxe / MCCM), Braiins OS, cgminer / bfgminer /
ckminer, and ESP32 builds. Renders as an orange ★ next to the
hardware label, matching public-pool's convention.
types.ts: document StratumClient.address (source IP, not BTC) and
add the previously-undeclared `server` field. Surfacing the runtime
value that has been there all along since cfb0f83.
Math.max(client.best_diff, worker.best_diff) defeated the whole
point of the column. ckpool keeps two separate counters:
stratum_instance.best_diff — per TCP session, in memory only,
freed on disconnect, gone on
ckpool restart.
worker_instance.best_diff — per worker name, persisted to the
logdir, restored on ckpool restart,
survives client disconnects.
Falling back to worker.best_diff when the client value was lower
meant the displayed "session" diff carried over the very events
(miner disconnect, pool restart) that should reset it.
Switch every "Best (session)" computation to read only the live
stratum_instance value. Offline workers — those with a worker
record but no current client — show 0, which is correct: there is
no current session to have a best in.
ckpool's share-rejection response sets the "error" field to a bare
JSON string ("Stale", "Above target", "Duplicate", ...). The
Stratum mining v1 spec, and every miner firmware that follows it,
expects that field to be a [code, message, traceback] array. AxeOS
parses with cJSON_GetArrayItem after a cJSON_IsArray check, sees a
string, falls back to "unknown error", and the rejection reason
disappears from the dashboard. Bassin / public-pool sends the
array form, which is why those rejections render as "stale" there.
Patch the JSON_ERR macro in stratifier.c to wrap the existing
share_errs[] string in json_pack("[isn]", ...) and add a small
share_err_code() helper mapping ckpool's enum to the standard
Slush stratum codes:
21 stale (SE_STALE, SE_INVALID_JOBID, SE_NTIME_INVALID)
22 duplicate (SE_DUPE)
23 low diff (SE_HIGH_DIFF)
24 unauthorized (SE_NO_USERNAME)
20 other (everything else)
All 14 JSON_ERR call sites in parse_submit pick this up
automatically — no other call site changes needed. Generated with
git diff against the pinned upstream commit so format is correct;
round-trip-tested with git apply --check.
BestShares read worker.bestdiff for its "Best (round)" column,
while MinersTable used client.bestdiff for online workers (and
worker.bestdiff only as a fallback for offline ones). ckpool
resets *both* fields in reset_bestshares() when the pool finds a
block, but reconnect / timing can leave them briefly divergent,
so the same worker could show different values in the two tables.
Switch every "session best" display to the same computation:
max(client.bestdiff, worker.bestdiff)
…picking whichever is currently higher. Relabel the column from
"Best (round)" to "Best (session)" in MinersTable, BestShares, and
UserDetailPage so the meaning matches the value. UserDetailPage's
per-user summary tile used to show the user's round-best as a
sub-line; drop it, since it contradicts the "session" framing at
the row level.
Net effect: scroll between the leaderboard and the miners table
and the same worker's best-share number stays put.
The per-user view was an overlay modal, but users asked for an
actual page — focused, scrollable, addressable. Replace the modal
with a hash-routed page: selectUser(addr) sets window.location.hash
to #/user/<addr> and a hashchange listener syncs the selection
state back, so browser back/forward and direct-link refresh all
work without a routing library. App renders the dashboard or the
UserDetailPage based on selection.user.
Make the clickable BTC addresses in the Miners table obviously
interactive: accent colour, always-on dashed underline, brighter on
hover/focus. The previous styling rendered them as dim static text
with a hover underline, so it wasn't obvious they were links.
BlocksTable: show the full 64-char block hash as a link to
mempool.space (auto-picks testnet4/signet based on snap.chain).
word-break: break-all keeps the hash from blowing out the column
width. Reward column is split into a tabular-num number span and a
dim 0.75em "BTC" unit span, matching the Block reward tile in the
overview, so numbers line up cleanly across rows.
Block-reward tile was cached for 60s, so users saw it sit still even
as bitcoind's CreateNewBlock fired every few seconds with updated
fee totals. Drop the template cache TTL to 15s — bitcoind caches
the template internally, so the extra RPC cost is trivial.
Hashrate chart was rendering 1440 raw per-minute points across a
~780px plot, which collapsed into a noisy smear. Bucket-average to
~96 points so the chart actually communicates a trend. Raw samples
under the target pass through unchanged (early process lifetime).
Layout: Blocks found is now full-width, with the Best shares
leaderboard stacked below it. The previous side-by-side was
squeezing both tables on typical displays.
New user-detail modal. Clicking a BTC address in the Miners table
opens a focused view: per-user aggregate hashrate (1m/5m/1h/24h),
best round / best ever, and a worker-level breakdown with the same
columns as the main table. Driven by a small selection store so any
component in the tree can open it. Closes on backdrop click or Esc.
New block-found animation. When the network tip advances, a brief
full-screen overlay plays: a radial Hinokami Kagura ember burst
above the header, a faint sun-ray sweep, and ~22 falling sakura
petals with randomised drift / rotation / delay so no two blocks
look identical. The existing block-height tile flash still fires
alongside; the overlay is pointer-events: none so nothing in the
UI becomes unreachable during the ~3.6s animation.
Total work was summing pool.Shares (ckpool's accounted_shares — raw
per-share count) and multiplying by 2^32, which is nonsense: each
share's actual difficulty was ignored, so a pool running at any
real hashrate would show a tiny number. Switch to pool.Accepted,
which ckpool exposes as accounted_diff_shares (sum of each accepted
share's difficulty in diff-1-normalized units). cumulative_shares *
2^32 is now actually total hashes.
Bump the kv key from "cumulative_shares" to "cumulative_work" so
any value saved under the old name is orphaned rather than mixed
into the new (correctly-unit'd) counter on upgrade.
Total work tile's sub-info now shows the round effort:
cumulative_shares / network_difficulty * 100. Matches ckpool's own
formula at stratifier.c:8201 for the percent-of-block display.
Drop the duplicate effort text from the Expected block tile, which
was an uptime-based approximation of the same thing.
The diff-adjustment tile was showing raw epoch progress (blocks-so-far
/ 2016 * 100%), which is never what anyone wants to see there. Compute
the real predicted change server-side: fetch the timestamp of the
first block in the current retarget epoch once per epoch, then each
refresh derive (expected_interval / actual_interval - 1) * 100,
clamped to Bitcoin's consensus bounds of [-75%, +300%]. The tile now
renders the signed percent, green when positive, red when negative.
Tile layout is forced to an explicit 5x2 grid so the number of
columns doesn't depend on viewport width. Reordering puts the
difficulty tile at (row 1, col 5) with the next-adjustment tile
directly below it at (row 2, col 5); block height, block reward,
total work, and expected block fill the rest of the second row.
Mobile breakpoints fall back to 3 and then 2 columns.
Header keeps only a live/connecting/offline status dot — the chain
name and block height badges were redundant now that the height tile
exists and animates on its own.
Stat-sub text bumped from 0.85em to 0.95em for readability.
Background: a warm ember-glow radial at the top of the viewport
layered with two accent radials and a low-opacity haori-checker tile
pattern (inline SVG data URI). Cards get a translucent backdrop so
the texture peeks through between them.
Dashboard now renders 10 tiles in a 5x2 overview: hashrate, best
share, miners, network hashrate, and expected block on the top row;
difficulty, block height, block reward, total work, and the
difficulty-adjustment countdown on the bottom row. Difficulty is
rendered with T/P suffixes instead of scientific notation, the main
hashrate card shows the 1-minute value, and the block-height tile
pulses orange when the network tip advances.
Added a 24-hour hashrate area chart below the overview, sampled
once per minute. Samples are persisted to a new hashrate_samples
SQLite table and restored on startup so the chart doesn't reset
every time kamado-api is restarted.
Cumulative pool work (sum of accepted diff-1-normalized shares) is
now tracked across ckpool restarts. The aggregator integrates only
positive deltas on pool.Shares — a regression means ckpool's
counter reset to zero and the baseline is refreshed without losing
the running total. A hasPoolSharesBaseline flag prevents double-
counting on the first refresh after a kamado-api restart. The
value is persisted to a new kv table once per minute.
Next-block reward (subsidy + fees) is fetched from bitcoind
getblocktemplate at most once per minute and surfaced as a tile.
Header's block-height badge now reads prevHeight via untrack() so
the effect doesn't form a dependency cycle with its own write.
Upstream ckpool-solo stubs out send_api_response as a no-op, so the
stratifier socket accepts commands like poolstats/users/workers but
never writes anything back — kamado-api always gets EOF.
Replace the stub with a real implementation: serialize the json_t
with json_dumps, write via send_unix_msg, and free. The stratum_loop
retry label handles socket cleanup.
Logmon now captures the share diff from ckpool's "Possible block
solve" line preceding the confirmation and attaches it to the
BlockEvent. Persisted as share_diff alongside height/hash/reward
and rendered as a new column in the dashboard block history.
Adds RPC.GetBlock(hash, verbosity=2) and a CoinbaseReward
helper that sums the first tx's outputs. IngestBlockEvents
now does getblockhash -> getblock -> sum(vout) so
BlockRecord.RewardBT carries the actual BTC paid out on
solve instead of always being zero. Both RPC calls share a
single 5s deadline and are best-effort — bitcoind being
down just leaves the reward at zero.
New internal/zmqmon package subscribes to bitcoind's hashblock
ZMQ topic and emits TipEvents. Uses github.com/go-zeromq/zmq4
(pure Go, builds with CGO_ENABLED=0). Exponential backoff on
connection failure so bitcoind restarts don't kill the
subscriber permanently; event channel drops rather than blocks
if the consumer is slow (signals are advisory, not logs).
Aggregator.Run now takes a <-chan TipEvent; when a tip arrives
it fires an immediate refresh() outside the normal ticker
cadence. With a 5s poll interval and 0.5-1s ZMQ latency from
bitcoind, dashboards now reflect new tips roughly 4x faster.
Endpoint comes from BITCOIN_ZMQ_BLOCK — empty disables ZMQ
entirely and the aggregator just runs on the ticker alone.
New internal/store package wraps modernc.org/sqlite (pure Go,
no CGO) with a BlockStore that exposes Open/Close/InsertBlock/
Recent. The aggregator now accepts an optional *store.BlockStore;
on Run() it loads up to maxBlockHistory rows from the store before
the first refresh, and each ingested block gets written to the
DB before being appended to the in-memory ring.
main.go opens the store at cfg.DBPath and logs a warning + falls
back to in-memory-only if the file can't be created — a broken
data volume shouldn't stop the pool from running.
InsertBlock uses INSERT OR IGNORE on the height primary key so
replayed log events after a restart are harmless.
