Title: Testing a p2pool node for MacMiner
Post by: Anonymailer on May 21, 2013, 10:44:21 PM
Hi everyone,

I've just set up a p2pool node I'm probably going to offer as an auto-config option in MacMiner, and I'm just testing whether the server I've got it on has enough resources to handle the load, I've got a couple of workers on there but I'd appreciate it if anyone else would give it a shot for a while! The fee is set at 1%

address:
176.58.119.218:9332
password:
your BTC address
username:
anything at all

Please let me know how it goes if you give it a shot!

edit: server is now stable, address has changed to pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9332 and fee reduced to 0.5%

wtf, if you want people to test, why is there a fee

Because I want to test the precise configuration it'll go live with, and a 1% fee is the average

I hope so - 0.5% to my default address and 99.5% to the user's BTC address (changed the fee to 0.5%) - am I misunderstanding something here?

yeah, if you want to 'load test' something, then you don't charge a fee

the fee works, trust me.   server load will not impact this

Sorry why would you run software on a mac like this?

Far better you VM it and use something that runs on linux, then if you need to scale it... you just upload the VM image to a VPS.

A setup like this  is just pissing in the wind......

I get the impression you think I'm running the p2pool node on a Mac? I'm not. It's on a dedicated Linux server. You don't need to use a mac to mine at pool.fabulouspanda.co.uk:9332 either.

I make MacMiner app for people to mine on their Mac's. It's based on all the most popular mining software. You can't GPU mine in a VM and it's a lot more simple than installing one just to run an FPGA or ASIC.
