Title: Will P2Pool have any issue with ASIC ? Post by: jjshabadoo on October 24, 2012, 10:37:07 PM I'd love to use P2Pool with my upcoming ASIC miners.
Of course I'm not psyched about configuring it because I suck at software implementation and really just don't like dealing with software. Anyway, if it's reasonable enough to set up ASIC miners and use P2Pool without penalty, I'll do it. Title: Re: Will P2Pool have any issue with ASIC ? Post by: Syke on October 25, 2012, 09:07:42 PM That'll depend on how the ASIC is designed. If it is designed like the current BFL Single, then it will be a poor p2pool miner. I doubt bASIC and Avalon will have that problem.

Post by: -ck on October 25, 2012, 09:55:43 PM None of the current BFL issues will matter with ASICs on p2pool because they will complete a work item so quickly that aborting work will not matter. Unless BFL do something to completely screw up the communication protocol to their ASIC devices, they will work fine with p2pool.

I'll be working on moving mine to P2pool after I get them. Title: Re: Will P2Pool have any issue with ASIC ? Post by: -ck on October 26, 2012, 05:28:45 AM There is one caveat though: If p2pool sticks to using getwork for communications instead of stratum, it may be rate limiting...

What would be a issue, say for a 54 GH/s miner on today's regular p2pool/bitcoind? Title: Re: Will P2Pool have any issue with ASIC ?
