Hello together!
A new P2Pool is born, would be nice if I could get some support :)

Server Location: Germany, Düsseldorf
P2Pool: http://62.141.41.25:9332/
Fee: 0%

Enjoy it :)

more info needed me thinks...

What information do you want?
It's a p2pool node, all p2pool nodes are the same except the fee and fee is 0% on my p2pool

First Block was found :-)

Some more news!
It is growing! Thanks to the new miner. P2Pool speed has increased to 28 GHases/s :-)

nice to see new p2poolers  :P

let's hope they come from here http://p2pool.org:9332/static/

is that the pool op doing all that mining?  or are people just giving him away money for 80% efficiency?... and it's been like this for half a year or longer..

how bizarre

oh.. if you keep mining with just these connections:

{"188.227.176.66:9333": 231.96005821228027, "94.242.205.6:40173": 159.54113006591797, "185.9.34.66:9333": 24.988174438476562, "46.170.233.26:9333": 44.91591453552246, "67.18.176.77:9333": 122.69306182861328, "84.75.252.230:9333": 429.15916442871094, "72.201.24.106:9333": 183.8970184326172, "75.151.76.105:9333": 248.20399284362793}

you will get many orphans

how can i raise my connections? all ports are open
there was a little maintenance today so i had to restart p2pool.
Maybe the connections will raise if p2pool stays longer online?

well, despite what someone else might tell you  ;), it's better to set a few yourself.   if bandwidth was a problem, you could eliminate the random outgoing connections altogether by changing that to 0.  if it's not a problem, you should retain at least some of those.  use the --p2pool-node toggle to add some specific pools.  they don't count as part of your 'outgoing pools' amt... so if you had it set for 4 outgoing pools & added 6 more via --p2pool-node (that were up and working), you'd have 10 outgoing connections.    the default 40 incoming connections is too much,  you should lower than to ~20, esp with the additional outgoing connections

if you rely on random connects, you'll get unlucky sometimes and get stuff like that, w/ many having high latency.  i've been connected to one before that was 2000ms+

Okay I changed a little bit my configuration.
It will load on next restart :)
What is the right configuration for several nodes?

or

second one is correct, though the port only needs to be entered if it's not standard

if you are in germany then go to www.nogleg.com:9332/pings (http://www.nogleg.com:9332/pings), they should be similar.  ofc there are some you may want to keep even at 250ms -- nodes hashing at high speeds, or if you don't have any other node in Asia etc

okay thank you very much

A last question :)
What happens if some of the manually added nodes become not available?

They just don't get added.  I think it tries a max # of times based on the setting in p2p.py

Okay, thank you very much for all your help :)
