Title: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: spoid on May 23, 2013, 09:06:31 PM I have read all google and forum results I could find, it appears that nobody ever mentioned how to find a few certain values for the two networks.py files in p2pool:
SUBSIDY_FUNC ADDRESS_VERSION P2P_PREFIX IDENTIFIER PREFIX I think I pretty much understand what all the other values do. However those 5 (and especially the hex values) make no sense to me. Do you strip them somewhere from the compiled source when a new coin has arrived? Cheers!

However those 5 (and especially the hex values) make no sense to me. Do you strip them somewhere from the compiled source when a new coin has arrived? Cheers! SUBSIDY_FUNC can be found in the source code, specifically in main.cpp, search for nSubsidy, you'll find a line that looks a lot like nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 8400000); The C++ syntax is different than the python syntax, but that is where you can get the information. For ADDRESS_VERSION, look again in the sourcecode in the file base58.h, and find the value of PUBKEY_ADDRESS. For the other 3 values, I'm under the impression that they are not values inherent to the alt-coin, but rather values to allow various p2pool nodes for a given alt-coin to communicate with each other. Therefore, there is no way to "look them up" in the coin itself -- you have to coordinate the values between the p2pool nodes that you want to intermesh with. Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: spoid on May 23, 2013, 09:38:36 PM thanks a lot! so if a coin was just created and I am running a solo node (remove BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS and PERSIST=False) anyways, can I just leave in the old hex values of another coin for the time being or do I have to create new values given after a certain rule?

My experience, at least when running a "private" p2pool has been that leaving the old hex values from another coin will work in the sense that p2pool will work with the new coin. I don't know one way or the other whether it leaves open the possibility for misbehavior or crosstalk if you have a port open where p2pools for the "other" coin find yours and mistakenly think they can talk to it. Incidentally, what does the PERSIST flag do? I only started tinkering with p2pool configuration about a week ago myself.

SHARE_PERIOD CHAIN_LENGTH SPREAD Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: schnebi on May 24, 2013, 09:13:35 AM I think now i got it this far...
But the Problem ist: The RPC connection of P2Pool to bitcoind is working. But then it says testing P2P connection, and nothing happens... I set Port '3234' in the 'networks.py' '/bitcoin/networks.py' and in the .conf file for the coin to the same value. Maybe it has somethig to do with the 'P2P_PREFIX' in the 'bitcoin/networks.py'??? Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: spoid on May 24, 2013, 09:43:14 AM In most working p2pool sources I downloaded the "p2pool port" was different in the bitcoin/networks.py and the networks.py - I think one is for communication between different p2pools and one is the "port=" from your .conf file ...
I tried to modify my files for a solo p2pool from feathercoin to phenixcoin but am only getting: "Check failed! Make sure that you're connected to the right bitcoind with --bitcoind-rpc-port!" @schnebi I did not really found out how they work exactly, but I think that SHARE_PERIOD CHAIN_LENGTH don't have to be changed or only fine-tuned later since they deal with the p2pool's share system. as for SPREAD, i read somewhere that you should adapt it to the block target time (i.e. bitcoin has SPREAD=3 and creates a block every 10 minutes, litecoin has SPREAD=12 and creates a block every 2.5 minutes, I saw BQC with SPREAD=30 and it creates a block every 1 minute I think). However there seem to be exceptions, I have no idea why I am seeing feathercoin pools with SPREAD=120. I see that you are ready to release a Luckycoin Pool on release, so I assume you got it to work?

In fact, the P2Pool server does recognize the workers, and also the standart Payout address, where to pay the fee... It also submits the Blocks to the Worker... The Worker is just not able to submit shares to the Server...

It seems like the difficulty of the work P2Pool sends to the worker is to high. Its 0.99999
At my other P2Pools the Share difficulty is someting like 0.01.... So its simply to difficult for my Worker to get accepted share. Does that sound reasonable? And how can I change? Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: spoid on May 24, 2013, 11:39:34 AM maybe try to lower SHARE_PERIOD=90, # seconds to 30?
Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: schnebi on May 24, 2013, 11:52:19 AM Okay... I think i got it in theory....
There is a line saying DUMB_SCRYPT_DIFFICULTY which say 2**16 or 2**12 for all Altcoins. I changed the value to "1" as it is for Bitcoin and i got hundreds of accepted shares per minute... But thats also incorrect.... So I Think we have to play with this value... I wonder, why it works with all other Coins with a value of 2**16 or 2**12 Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: schnebi on May 24, 2013, 12:20:06 PM I'm pretty shure now, the Problem is all about the difficulty...
I modified a new networks.py again the same way i did it before, because i thougt, that somewhere i made a mistake. And now the behaviour is changing. Im getting Pretty much accepted shares, but all Shares are with a Difficulty of "0"...... I will make screenshots later that day, so maybe it will become clearer whts the Problem...

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: Kyune on May 25, 2013, 01:11:47 AM bump. :( of despair. Hmm. If I understood correctly the config files you quoted in post #17 are your attempt at modifying the feathercoin settings to get p2pool to work with phenixcoin, but you are getting an RPC connection error when you actually run p2pool after launching phenixcoin? Two possibilities come to mind. First, the RPC_PORT value should ordinarily be set in the bnetworks.py file to the phenixcoin peer-to-peer listening port. My understanding (I haven't doublechecked) is that the default P2P port in phenixcoin is 9555. Unless you've changed this port (with a port=9666 line) in your phenixcoin.conf file, you should set RPC_PORT=9555 in the bnetworks.py file. Second, you may need to change 'feathercoinaddress' to 'phenixcoinaddress' in the RPC_CHECK entry in the bnetworks.py file...I think this may be a coin-specific call to obtain a coin address. Hope this helps, or at least, moves you on to troubleshooting a different error code. ;) Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: spoid on May 26, 2013, 04:33:34 PM I think that was it for now!

Now i tried to do the same for DragonCoin..... But Iam stuck at the point, where P2Pool says "Testing bitcoind P2P connection to 127.0.0.1:12579" I don't understand, why it is not going on, because i unsed exactly the same settings than for Goldcoin.

Nice catch on the "DragonCoin address". How did you guess that there was a space there? I gave up on it at that point - dragoncoinaddress, dncaddress, DragonCoinaddress, DragonCoinAddress, smallchangeaddress... nothing seemed to work.
I wonder if those nodes are really running solo anyway. Since my phenixcoin pool is still somehow connected to the feathercoin p2p network and shows some pool data. When I connect my miners to my phenixcoin pool, they connect and mine just fine, but if I do a ./phenixcoin gethashespersec on the VPS it returns 0. So it is definitely not solo mining with my wallet ...? :( http://84.200.206.231:19324/static/ Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: schnebi on May 26, 2013, 08:15:27 PM yeah, that's exactly where it ends for me as well.

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: Kyune on May 28, 2013, 09:49:41 PM I think I may have figured this out. I had been bumping into the same problem (stalling at the P2P connection) on some coins but not others. I finally realized I was wrong in an initial assumption...the P2P_PREFIX setting in bitcoin/networks.py is in fact a coin-specific setting -- which is logical, as the other settings in that file are coin-specific as well. In fact, it looks like it is basically the "magic value" or "magic number" referred to in https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification, and after poking around in the code I think you can find it in main.cpp at pchMessageStart[4]=... Using this specific value as the P2P_PREFIX fixed the problem for me.
So, for example, I haven't ever installed Dragoncoin myself, but looking quickly at the relevant line in main.cpp: Code: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfc, 0xd9, 0xb7, 0xdd };Thus, for Dragoncoin, try setting Code: P2P_PREFIX='fcd9b7dd'.decode('hex'),and let us know if that gets you past stalling at the P2P connection. Hope this is helpful. Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: fenican on May 29, 2013, 03:16:34 PM Any insight into why block numbers would display inaccurately?

I am unsure about this setting, still looking around. The prefix you found in main.cpp i am unsure what it is used for or if it is used at all. Code: pchMessageStart[0] = 0xfc; it does look similar to what i had or even could be the same thing.

take a look at the code.

Also i forgot to add, in your P2PNTWK file change Code: PERSIST=True, Code: PERSIST=False, And its gotta be capital "F", This value tells the p2pool if it should mine solo or connect to other p2pools.

The devs messed up on the ports being used. To make matters worse the original post for the announcement had the wrong ports as well. In that thread I pointed it out. They graciously gave me a donation :) Look up the announcement thread for the port information. I forget off the top of my head but it is there. The default ports were something like 5 digits for one and 4 for the other.

I had been bumping into the same problem (stalling at the P2P connection) on some coins but not others. I finally realized I was wrong in an initial assumption...the P2P_PREFIX setting in bitcoin/networks.py is in fact a coin-specific setting -- which is logical, as the other settings in that file are coin-specific as well. In fact, it looks like it is basically the "magic value" or "magic number" referred to in https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification, and after poking around in the code I think you can find it in main.cpp at pchMessageStart[4]=... Using this specific value as the P2P_PREFIX fixed the problem for me. So, for example, I haven't ever installed Dragoncoin myself, but looking quickly at the relevant line in main.cpp: Code: unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfc, 0xd9, 0xb7, 0xdd };Thus, for Dragoncoin, try setting Code: P2P_PREFIX='fcd9b7dd'.decode('hex'),and let us know if that gets you past stalling at the P2P connection. Hope this is helpful. I can't really help with the chain length as it is confusing to me too.

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: markm on July 15, 2013, 07:04:35 AM A lot of coins lately do not work out the block reward by simply dividing an original reward by a number of blocks, or like in bitcoin halve if every four years, so i expect for example the coins that use hashes of previous blocks to "randomly' decide the block reward (superblocks, lucky blocks, golden blocks) the python function for determining the block reward would need to do that exact same pseudorandom number calculations to match correctly the rewards the coin actually gives out?
Has that led to the coins that have lucky blocks being less likely to have p2pool pools due to p2pool coders maybe not wanting to correctly figure out those "random" rewards in python? or maybe even has it led to p2pool pools for such coins tending to not figure out rewards correctly? -MarkM- Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: PSL on July 15, 2013, 09:59:40 AM It doesn't address your errors but I noticed that you use for Fastcoin symbol FSC; it should be FST from my point of view.

But i cannot calculate the random part with p2pool, because it wont be the same (obviously) as the value calculated by the function in coind.

I am facing one issue tho, the pool keep disconnecting from the wallet, from time to time it takes a good 3 minutes disconnected.

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: guugll on November 06, 2013, 06:11:58 PM i tryed to make just PoS+PoW p2pool modification from NVC/BTB source and i was not successfull - but i did not tryed yet the last advice from minerapia. (my test env. is down now and i do not have much time)
the p2pool code modifications for PoS are written in this thread but in case of any special stuff in coin you need to modify the p2pool code. for NVC the dev. of the coin modified the coin to be able to run with p2pool and BTB is very similar coin to NVC so you need basically very good python skills and good contact with the coin dev. in order to be able to understand the special features and python skill to make it work with p2pool. and in case of "random" superblocks i do not see any way how to work with the 8times higher value for that coin - you need to ask the dev how you would find out that you are mining or have mined the superblock and in that case use different payout method for the miners and then again go on standard. well maybe try first some normal PoS coin p2pool modification and then build on that knowledge - that will be my way after i will have more time... but still i will test the last advice from minerapia because i spent a lot of time on that and i am curious if it will work. good luck man - i like the p2pool idea because i feel all that coins who are having p2pool are the most successfull coins. But only one dev. made coin and p2pool source modification at the beginning - no one else is doing it beucause they waste time on special features of the coin and then there is no power to make the p2pool working with it. Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: triggermage on November 06, 2013, 08:46:30 PM Thanks man I wish you good lucky too!
I agree with you, non standard code in the coin code only makes things harder, I will keep trying till I get the pool up!! Thanks again!

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: yahma on December 24, 2013, 06:18:25 AM There seems to be some confusion about the values for networks.py, so lets see if we can sort things out and provide a bit of clarification:
SHARE_PERIOD: How often should P2Pool generate a new share (rule of thumb: 1/5 - 1/10 of the block period) CHAIN_LENGTH: How many shares P2Pool client keeps REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH: The {N} value in PPLNS Note: REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH must always be <= CHAIN_LENGTH SPREAD: How long a 'share' is valid (ie. for how many block can be paid for this share) TARGET_LOOKBEHIND: Is used for diff calculations. (ie. how many previous shares to use in calculating difficulty) - lower values can be used to prevent a big miner from getting too many shares before diff rises PERSIST: False (if you want to allow your server to run independently of any bootstrap nodes... but still allow syncing if they exist). True will require other nodes on the network to run. IDENTIFIER & PREFIX: P2Pool will only sync with other nodes who have Identifier and Prefix matching yours (and using same p2p port).. if any of the above values change, a new identifier & prefix need to be created in order to prevent problems. Example: Code: casinocoin=math.Object( CasinoCoin generates a new block every 30 seconds. SHARE_PERIOD should be 1/5 to 1/10th of that. In this case 5s is (1/6) share period. Having a value above 1/5 risks more stale shares & larger inefficiency. CHAIN_LENGTH & REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH are set up to allow for 3 Hour PPLNS. TARGET_LOOKBEHIND is set to 60 (shares) giving a 300 second (5min) difficulty adjustment. SPREAD is set to 60 blocks, so a share will be valid up to 60 blocks or REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH (3 hours), whichever is shorter. P2P_PORT, IDENTIFIER & PREFIX must match the other nodes you wish to sync with... (all the above values must also match) Hope this clears a few things up!!

Thanks for really helpful information. But I still can't understand or I miss something: - How to calculate IDENTIFIER & PREFIX value adding new coin in p2pool ?

I've been working on lottocoin, grandcoin, earthcoin and luckycoin. None of which have i seen very much success. I'm fairly confident that through this topic, I've been able to add the correct information in the networks.py files. I can post copies of those if needed. However, what I'm really having issues with is this message that is being logged in the output of p2pool each second.
Code: Error getting work from bitcoind: This error is logged several times a second and is happening for each one of the new coins I've tried. However, the same p2pool code is running WDC, CSC and FTC pools successfully without that error. Also, I'm able to successfully connect to the pool and hash in it, but it seems the connection to the wallet daemon is lost every few minutes and takes a minute or two to reconnect. My miner will show that it's having issues connecting to the stratum server and then eventually connect back up and start hashing again. Does anyone know the cause of this error? Is it just something code related to these new coins? I'd like to continue making p2pools for these new coins, but it seems the hurdle of adapting the p2pool code for these might just be too big to overcome.

I have always just slightly modified them from another coin already in network.py. Yes, it has to be unique within network.py or I think you'll get an error.

If you want to fork the original p2pool code or forkl Rav3n or Cartman's code in github and add your own entries, then report back if you're successful, then others will know and be able to obtain your values and run their own nodes for your coin. That's how most of the entries in network.py get shares, through github forks.

Also there values for testnet: DEF_PORT const int DEF_RPCPORT const int DEF_TESTNET_PORT const int DEF_TESTNET_RPCPORT All testnet and other ports are correct now, but still same error "Check failed".

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: squiggie on December 29, 2013, 09:22:13 PM I've recently tried to port p2pool to some newer alt coins and have been hitting a brick wall. I'm pretty sure this going beyond basic network.py values but I wanted to get some opinions.
I've tried setting this up for grandcoin, lottocoin, luckycoin and earthcoin. The one I'm most interested in getting to work is earthcoin, so let's take that one for example. This is the error I receive when running it. Code: Testing bitcoind RPC connection to 'http://127.0.0.1:5555/' with username 'user'... Now, what I noticed is in the pack.py file, the functions Code: def _unpack(self, data, ignore_trailing=False): If you don't change that variable, the error that was mentioned is thrown for a while. Eventually it will connect to the wallet daemon, and you can actually hash in the pool, however the connection to the wallet will go unstable and the errors will start again. The connection to the wallet never really stabilizes. Just for reference here are my earthcoin network.py values. Code: earthcoin=math.Object( Code: earthcoin=math.Object( If anyone that has better python skills than me, and a better knowledge of how p2pool works cares to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like I said, I don't think this is isolated to earthcoin as I've seen this behavior with several new alt coins. Also, I've posted a bug report (https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/issues/151) on the official p2pool github in case anyone wants to contribute.

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: CartmanSPC on December 31, 2013, 11:43:45 PM For those having problems I was curious as to what version of the p2pool source you were trying to use? Have seen that the latest version of p2pool (13.4) requires later versions of BTC and LTC wallets. Perhaps the ALT coin wallets you are using may not be compatible with 13.4. Try p2pool version 13.3 or earlier.

Im willing to try some older versions if you think this could be why we are hitting these issues 3.3-96-g7f43101-dirty Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: yahma on January 01, 2014, 01:59:40 AM rav3n git is on 13.4 and cartman-git is on 13.3
Found that syncing casino coin using (13.4) to 13.3 nodes does not work, unless you first copy the data from an existing 13.3 to 13.4 install. @squiggie I think everyone here would be interested in syncing to common optimized configurations.

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: aynstein on January 09, 2014, 07:15:50 AM Guys. Is anyone interested in opening a Skype Chat group to discuss P2Pool configurations. I have setup several coins that are working perfectly now on P2Pool. These include Dogecoin, Worldcoin, Feathercoin, Casinocoin I have configured Grandcoin and Frankocoin but have a few issues getting these up and running. The process runs ok but all my stats are blank. If anyone wants to trade coin settings or work on this together let me know. Lets work on expanding ALT coins available on P2Pool sites. It benefits us all. Im also hoping to roll out Earthcoin soon. If you want to discuss further PM me or hit me up on Skype. My Skype ID is SEOCrow Did you make any progress with this? I would do a Skype conf also, but we should post the results on the forum. I read at least 3 people up for skyping...lets try and do it in the next day or so? Skype address aynstein Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: squiggie on January 09, 2014, 02:04:23 PM Guys.

I'm pretty sure this going beyond basic network.py values but I wanted to get some opinions. I've tried setting this up for grandcoin, lottocoin, luckycoin and earthcoin. The one I'm most interested in getting to work is earthcoin, so let's take that one for example. This is the error I receive when running it. Code: Testing bitcoind RPC connection to 'http://127.0.0.1:5555/' with username 'user'... Now, what I noticed is in the pack.py file, the functions Code: def _unpack(self, data, ignore_trailing=False): If you don't change that variable, the error that was mentioned is thrown for a while. Eventually it will connect to the wallet daemon, and you can actually hash in the pool, however the connection to the wallet will go unstable and the errors will start again. The connection to the wallet never really stabilizes. Just for reference here are my earthcoin network.py values. Code: earthcoin=math.Object( Code: earthcoin=math.Object( If anyone that has better python skills than me, and a better knowledge of how p2pool works cares to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like I said, I don't think this is isolated to earthcoin as I've seen this behavior with several new alt coins.

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: tvb on February 07, 2014, 03:01:56 PM So, I had a little chat with forrestv! Here is some information on how to find the correct settings for the /bitcoin/networks.py file.
Attention: the /bitcoin/networks.py is COIN SPECIFIC Sample /bitcoin/networks.py: Code:
Detailed explanation P2P_PREFIX = <HEX CODE> pulled from ./src/main.ccp (search for "unsigned char pchMessageStart" and use the value between { } (remove all 0x)) P2P_PORT = <COIN PORT> pulled from ./src/protocol.h (search for "GetDefaultPort", 2nd value will be the port value.) ADDRESS_VERSION = <X> <X> pulled from ./src/base58.h (search for "PUBKEY_ADDRESS") RPC_PORT = <RPCPORT> pulled from ./src/bitcoinrpc.cpp (search for 'GetArg("-rpcport", xxxx)' where xxxx is the value of the port. RPC_CHECK change e.g. 'litecoinaddress' to '<lower case coin name>address' SUBSIDY_FUNC = <X>*<TOTAL COINS> >> (height + 1)//<HEIGHT WHERE BLOCK HALVES> <X> pulled from ./src/main.cpp (search for "nSubsidy") <HEIGHT WHERE BLOCK HALVES> pulled from ./src/main.cpp (search for "nSubsidy >>= (nHeight") note: If there is no "halfing" you should take out the ">> (height + 1)//<HEIGHT WHERE BLOCK HALVES>" BLOCK_PERIOD = <SECONDS> <SECONDS> pulled from ./src/main.cpp (search for "static const int64 nTargetSpacing") SYMBOL = <COIN SHORTNAME> Like BTC, LTC, DOGE CONF_FILE_FUNC = change <WINDOWS FOLDER NAME>, <OSX FOLDER NAME>, <LINUX FOLDER NAME> and <CONF FILE NAME> BLOCK_EXPLORER_URL_PREFIX = <URL OF BLOCKCHAIN INFO> ADDRESS_EXPLORER_URL_PREFIX = <URL OF ADDRESS INFO> TX_EXPLORER_URL_PREFIX = <URL OF TX INFO> SANE_TARGET_RANGE = (2**256//1000000000 - 1, 2**256//1000 - 1) No changes for scrypt. DUMB_SCRYPT_DIFF = 2**16 No changes for scrypt. DUST_THRESHOLD = 0.03e8 No changes for scrypt. Note about DUST_TRESHOLD: In an effort to reduce the number of very small dust payments hanging around in peoples wallets, it does this by looking at your expected block payment and adjusted the required share difficulty until this is above its DUST_THRESHOLD value (current 0.1000). Transaction fees in Litecoin have been designed to protect the network from a problem known as transaction spam (dust transactions). If someone was to setup a loop between two wallets, sending back and forth small amounts, they would grow the block chain. Fees prevent this as it becomes too expensive to do this.[/size] Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: roy7 on February 07, 2014, 03:04:56 PM Fantastic post TVB.

I have considered starting a new thread outlining the values with the OP being updated as needed but will start by making a few comments on yours. Quote P2P_PORT = <COIN PORT> Pulling from that location IMO is not a good idea. Better to pull from the actual code "use" than the notes field in init.cpp.pulled from ./src/init.cpp You can find the P2P_PORT in the coin's source code in the protocol.h file, it's the 2nd value after GetDefaultPort. Quote RPC_PORT = <RPCPORT> Again, pulling from that location IMO is not a good idea. Better to pull from the actual code "use" than the notes field in init.cpp.<PORT> pulled from src/init.cpp (search for "-rpcport") You can find RPC_PORT in bitcoinrpc.cpp file, look for GetArg("-rpcport", xxxx), where xxxx is the port. Quote DUST_THRESHOLD = 0.03e8 I understand why they want to do this for Litecoin and Bitcoin but for most alts I feel this setting is too high (or low depending on how you look at it). I think most smaller miners (which is what were really addressing here) would appreciate more consistent payments in smaller increments rather than fewer larger payments. I use DUST_THRESHOLD=1e8Fewer (but larger) payments (I feel) puts off miners. Yes, it does increase the number of transactions in their wallet and may cost them more in fees when they try to use them but implementing coin control from newer litecoin releases can help there. They can also split up their transactions or wait for sufficient coin age. Ok, those are my inputs. :) Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: tvb on February 07, 2014, 07:52:27 PM Good stuff tvb. I have considered starting a new thread outlining the values with the OP being updated as needed but will start by making a few comments on yours. ... I agree, although forrestv really should add it to the p2pool wiki or p2pool.info website And you are right. 'pulling' the actual configured values from the source is better. Thanks for that! I think we can now focus on the p2pool specific networks.py values..

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: CartmanSPC on February 07, 2014, 10:03:34 PM One of the problems is that coins occasionally change specs (DGC, WDC, CRCx2 and soon CSC...of the ones I track) and p2pool has to be updated to those new coin specs. It is a very hard job to keep up with everything :)
I try to stay on top of the coins I use in my git. Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: tvb on February 07, 2014, 10:21:12 PM Well, imo that is the responsibly of the coin developer(s). They should submit a merge request then.
Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: CartmanSPC on February 07, 2014, 10:37:42 PM As an example...I believe Ravs git has old specs on some of the coins.

I think the correct way is: for litecoin: SUBSIDY_FUNC=lambda height: 50*100000000 >> (height + 1)//840000, SUBSIDY_FUNC=lambda height: 'block reward' * 'satoshies' >> (height + 1)//'height where block halves'.

I'm trying Code: VTCPayoutAddress+0.001465/0.55 address/diff won't let you set diff below the minimum share diff for the pool though. It's intended more to raise diff for giant miners than to lower diff, I thought? First, I've to admit that I'm not completely sure about how p2pool handle diffs and so on, just my own code reading + try and error. That said, pool minimum share diff (what you get e.g. with http://vtc.coinpools.de:9171/difficulty) is not what p2pool gives out to your miner as share difficulty (main reason, why the "share difficulty" displayed on the standard web client page is nonsense). p2pool uses a quite complicated algorithm to compute pseudo_share_difficulty (work.py lines 265-) and share_difficulty (data.py lines 111-) specifically for your miner client (see debug.log "New work for worker" entries). IMHO the main problem with this is, that p2pool tries to dish out share difficulties so that it expects no more than one solved share per minute from all connected clients. So as my VTC node has about 6 MH/s local rate at the moment, the log shows a standard share difficulty of 1.39 given to clients. Minimum share difficulty for the pool is 0.063 on the other hand. So it seems perfectly legit to specify a custom share difficulty of 0.55 for my miner. (If you specify it too low, p2pool seems to use the minimum pool difficulty anyway). Quote I can tell tomorrow, if this makes things better or worse... Did work perfectly for me during the last 12 hours, by the way ;) Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: roy7 on February 08, 2014, 06:37:22 PM Hmmm. Even if I try to set /.00001 I can't see it changing anything on my miner's end. Using + of course submits diff 1 pseudo-shares constantly which is a waste of resources.
Looking at all of the New Work messages, they aren't all being set to the same difficulty. On my pool most are set to 0.00244 but one is .000812 and one is .000244. I assume those are the pseduo share difficulties and the tiny ones are the two slowest miners in pool? Because yes, there is also the "Share difficulty: 1.918" which is going to all but 2 miners. One is me with my /.000001 forcing it down to match share difficulty. That other must be you or someone like you, setting a lower share difficulty with ADDR/ which means you'll actually have reduced variance since the difficulty chosen is still over the minimum. Is it really 1 share total from all miners combined, or 1 share per minute from each miner individually? The latter would make more sense to me, but I'm thinking of it from a "running a pool-like public node" perspective. p2pool is designed from a "run it as a reduced variance solo mining operation" perspective. Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: roy7 on February 08, 2014, 06:44:41 PM IMHO the main problem with this is, that p2pool tries to dish out share difficulties so that it expects no more than one solved share per minute from all connected clients. So as my VTC node has about 6 MH/s local rate at the moment, the log shows a standard share difficulty of 1.39 given to clients. Minimum share difficulty for the pool is 0.063 on the other hand. So it seems perfectly legit to specify a custom share difficulty of 0.55 for my miner. (If you specify it too low, p2pool seems to use the minimum pool difficulty anyway). Interesting. I kept assuming small miner variance was due to large share difficulty but that's not the case at all for VTC right now, if you are a small miner using a big public node. 2014-02-08 18:41:03.086159 New work for worker!

The 2nd is my testing with difficultly forced as low as it can go. Being a single GPU miner, 1.5 (98683) will take me far far longer to get 1 share than .058 (3805) would. Edit: Apologies for the thread hijack. mmouse we should move this to the P2Pool main thread or to the VTC thread.

I was getting a bunch of hardware issues until I put +16 after my username in my cgminer conf file. However I dont think this is the permanent solution. I think its a setting on the server that needs to be corrected to may be allocate the difficulty better. I think its one (or more) of the settings to do with ~/P2Pool/P2Pool/Network.py I will tweak them, however if anyone has any ideas on which ones I should be fiddling around with, please let me know.

Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: Hyacin on March 07, 2014, 08:01:42 AM I've recently tried to port p2pool to some newer alt coins and have been hitting a brick wall. I'm pretty sure this going beyond basic network.py values but I wanted to get some opinions. I've tried setting this up for grandcoin, lottocoin, luckycoin and earthcoin. The one I'm most interested in getting to work is earthcoin, so let's take that one for example. This is the error I receive when running it. <snip> Now, what I noticed is in the pack.py file, the functions <snip> is where the error is being thrown. The pos is always 1 character bigger then len(data) when the error is thrown. So setting the ignore_trailing=True eliminates the error, but when testing it against earthcoin, we hashed overnight and found a few blocks. However, none of them were actually committed to the blockchain and nothing was paid out. So I assume that is messing with the blocks submitted and they're not valid. If you don't change that variable, the error that was mentioned is thrown for a while. Eventually it will connect to the wallet daemon, and you can actually hash in the pool, however the connection to the wallet will go unstable and the errors will start again. The connection to the wallet never really stabilizes. Just for reference here are my earthcoin network.py values. <snip> If anyone that has better python skills than me, and a better knowledge of how p2pool works cares to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like I said, I don't think this is isolated to earthcoin as I've seen this behavior with several new alt coins. Also, I've posted a bug report (https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/issues/151) on the official p2pool github in case anyone wants to contribute. Anyone have any updates/more information on this? The bug report hasn't been updated in quite a while it appears. I recall reading somewhere (probably this thread) that it has something to do with transaction comments in some coins. I tried setting ignore_trailing to True as mentioned above, and that resolves my "Error getting work from bitcoind" errors, and p2pool will accept and work on block with transactions, but when they're solved it is unable to submit them ... Successful block since making the change (which showed up in my wallet moments later) - Code: 2014-03-07 02:39:16.574778 New work for worker!

I started the chain on a fresh vm and then connected to it with my other systems and it worked without a hitch (first vm started with persistant set to false and then added the others with true (not sure if this matters, but that is what I did)). The code I used Code: execoin2=math.Object( I will report back later on how the results fair after I've had some more time to test it. Your welcome to test it for your selves to see if the longer block time works better for your gpu's. You can connect to any of my nodes (current bootstrap_addrs's) or make your own. CartmanSPC, do you have an EXE address? *edit: grammer Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: CartmanSPC on May 14, 2014, 03:18:27 AM Thanks Doom4535. No need to send me anything...happy to help.
Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: ads2003uk on May 14, 2014, 06:16:47 AM I followed a guide on here to mine solo with an S1, it works perfect for BTC but when trying to mine another sha coin (frc) it returns the following: "Couldn't link returned work's merkle root with its handler. This should only happen if this process was recently restarted!" what would cause it? Anyone?

I'm the dev for 1Credit and YACCoin. Started fooling around with hosting p2pools for each last night and it was pretty straight forward. Thought everything was fine when I left at 3am - pools were hashing, 99.5% credits were being paid out (0.5% to the author), etc. Looking at the web interface, I would see a single user - me, which was as I expected. Per my coin log, around 7am this morning, while I was soundly asleep, something changed. Instead of receiving 99.5% of the coins, I started ONLY receiving the 0.5% associated with discovering a block. The rest was going to a valid, but totally unknown, coin address. I checked the /users webpage and for this: http://puu.sh/acBhT/aed46ecb76.png (http://puu.sh/acBhT/aed46ecb76.png) Those all appear to be valid YACCoin addresses, although I don't see any of them hashing in the p2pool log. I have also not publicly advertised the pool (until now) nor the connection port, so am surprised by this. Any thoughts? FYI: ADDRESS_VERSION is set to 31, which is correct for my coin, and matches the leading digit in those in the link above. Possibly related: I failed to find definitions for IDENTIFER and PREFIX and left those the same as in the litecoin.py? Should I have randomized those to avoid coin conflicts? Unrelated: Can someone tell me what PERSIST does? I had to set it to False to get things hashing... Thanks in advance!

Couple recommendations. Set the author donation to 0 as the payout address is most likely not valid. Make sure you have a unique IDENTIFER and PREFIX. If you like I can generate some for you but directions on how to do it are in the p2pool settings post I made somewhere on this board. Do not leave them the same or you may end up working on a different chain...

That sure would have saved me a few hours. Looks like I still have a bit of cleanup to do.

Thank you ! Title: Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins Post by: mannyg on October 26, 2014, 05:48:51 PM I've managed to create network.py settings for OSC and TAK, but both give me errors relating to the SUBSIDY_FUNC.

just downloaded the current p2pool from git. Cannot find any networks.py and it seems that something changed at all. Do you have a new manual/how-to add new altcoins?
