Title: Mazacoin p2pool closed. Post by: TreasureSeeker on March 04, 2014, 06:36:59 PM The Mazacoin p2pool has now been closed, due to lack of interest from miners (and also p2pool not "playing" too well with Mazacoin as far as I can get it to). Please try one of TreasureQuarry's more active pools.
Come bring your mining equipment and dig out some Mazacoins at TreasureQuarry's fun and friendly pool. (Updated: important whilst the pool is growing, please see the second post in this thread if you're having high reject rate) It's quick and east to start mining at TreasureQuarry's Mazacoin pool. The advantages with p2pool include there's no need to "sign up" and no coins are held on the server - they go straight out to miners' wallets as soon as blocks are found. Just use the following settings for your miner: Mining address (url) (remember to include the port number after the colon) http://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477/static/ Username: A unique address from your Digitalcoin wallet on your computer, for example my mining address that I use on this pool is MW1ZY9vK1z8Jw4Yi5K5R2LXXVBkQpPJHd7 (don't use this particular address otherwise your earnings will go to me). Please do not use an exchange address or online wallet address. Password Anything you like - this is unimportant with P2Pool So putting it all together, as an example using bfgminer you would use in a simple command line: bfgminer -o http://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477 -u YOURMAZCOINADDRESSHERE -p x or bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477 -u YOURMAZCOINADDRESSHERE -p x Once you find a share, payments will start going straight to your wallet as soon as the p2pool finds blocks and will continue until that share "runs out" (or will keep going if you find another share before the previous one runs out). Due to the way p2pool's PPLNS (pay per last N shares) works, the payments may seem to start slow but will then build up to reach a peak and reasonably steady rate. You can view statistics at http://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477/static/ , and graphs at http://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477/static/graphs.html . Your own graph will show on the graphs page under the heading of your Mazacoin address. TreasureQuarry's reliable server is based in Dallas, Texas in the USA. Pool fee is just 1% which you can confirm at any time at http://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477/fee Happy mining :) Title: Re: Mazacoin p2pool Mining pool at TreasureQuarry. 1% fee. Reliable Dallas Server Post by: TreasureSeeker on March 04, 2014, 10:40:24 PM If you experience a high DOA/reject rate, please try setting a particular share difficulty for your mining by appending the following to your Mazacoin address:
Your hashrate share difficulty 1 Gh/s /1.1 5 Gh/s /5.5 10 Gh/s /11 50 G/s /55 100 Gh/s /110 etc....in other word multiply your hashrate in Gh/s by 1.1 to get your pseudo-share difficulty. Then append this to your Mazacoin address. For example if you're mining at 10gh/s with bfgiminer, use: bfgminer -o http://mazacoin.treasurequarry.com:14477 -u YOURMAZCOINADDRESSHERE/11 -p x Please note there should be no spaces between your Mazacoin address and the /11. If you still have a high DOA/reject rate, try increasing the share difficulty further until you get a nice low figure for DOAs (ie a high percentage of accepted shares) Title: Re: Mazacoin p2pool Mining pool at TreasureQuarry. 1% fee.

I just use my usual weak mining gpu at 300khash. Is this too low? It works on basic script coins. I have no idea what script difference, if any, maza uses. But nothing is coming from this pool to my wallet.

Welcome to the pool, Cosmos. Whilst p2pool increases in speed from virtually zero sometimes rejections can get high. We're cruising at a just under 1Th/s at the moment so hopefully rejections should be better now but if you're still getting a high rate please do say.

That always got me several thousand coins per hour in early releases of coines (Doge for example). 300khash, while small compared to big miners, could do well with several days of patience. As I said, I could make thousands doge in few hours. But these new coins, such as Maza, everybody seems to be getting much higher hashrates. Hundreds of Mh. 1Mh used to be considered good. What is different? New algorithm for all these coins such as Maza? Why does 300khash not get me thousands of coins on low difficulty anymore?

Reliable Dallas Server Post by: TreasureSeeker on March 05, 2014, 11:27:13 PM Yes, Mazacoin does use a different hashing algorithm compared to Dogecoin, Litecoin and most of the newly released smaller coins recently.
Litecoin and Dogecoin (and most of the recent smaller coins) use scrypt hashing, but Mazacoin uses sha-256, which is the same hashing algorithm as Bitcoin. According to the Bitcoin hardware comparison page at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#Graphics_cards you may be able to get 112 Mh/s using your GTX 670.

Title: Re: Mazacoin p2pool Mining pool at TreasureQuarry. 1% fee. Reliable Dallas Server Post by: rav3n_pl on March 08, 2014, 02:42:47 PM Share chain settings are TOTALLY OFF!
On this settings, PPLNS window is 48 hours of 15 blocks. This means, if someone start mining and pool is finding less than 15 blocks in 48 hours he have to mine 2 days to get full payout. Also, setting target_lookbehind to 2 will make share diff jump up and down alot. This should be set at least 5 (5 shares = 100 seconds retarget pool share diff). Title: Re: Mazacoin p2pool Mining pool at TreasureQuarry. 1% fee. Reliable Dallas Server Post by: TreasureSeeker on March 08, 2014, 03:36:47 PM TARGET_LOOKBEHIND of 2 allows the pool difficuly to adjust as fast as possible to allow for sudden increases and decreases in hashrate (think Kimoto's gravity well but to a lesser extent as the adjustment isn't as fast as you may expect).
Regarding CHAIN_LENGTH and REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH, a longer PPLNS window is better for smaller miners, giving them a longer period in which they have a chance to get a share. Standard Mincoin p2pools use a 3 day PPLNS window, and Royalcoin uses 6 days. Source: https://github.com/narken/p2pool-altcoins/blob/master/p2pool/networks.py These settings are a matter of choice and another pool owner shouting in capitals that they're way off is a bit off in itself.

I've used similar settings for months on some of my other p2pools with great success and happy miners.
On a totally unrelated note, could miner MFiqFUxwFVNdKfGJQsYPNd9zL74iip6pby PM me as whatever you're settings or software you're using for mining seems to have been causing some problems. I've reluctantly had to ban you meanwhile.

Reliable Dallas Server Post by: TreasureSeeker on April 01, 2014, 04:19:33 PM There hasn't been much hashing at the pool which is why the expected time to block is so long at the moment.
I think that the peer too old message is probably because I'm using p2pool version 11.4-31 . The latest p2pool wasn't changing its share difficulty for some reason when the hashrate increased, so I changed things back to reliable old 11.4-31 (which has also served me well for most of my other p2pools). I've updated my March 6th post with the version number . You can download p2pool 11.4 from https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/releases/tag/11.4 which will probably work in connecting up with mine.
