Title: P2Pool Share Difficulty Help Post by: compumine on April 01, 2014, 03:43:36 PM Sorry guys, I tried finding info but not able to either understand it properly or I'm missing something.
here is the problem. I decided to mine on P2pool but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to calculate the share difficulty so that I could add it to my setup. I've read that I add that number after my coin(wallet) address. Here's the example. Auroracoin: P2PHash has on the site, share difficulty of 0.01 What equation do I use if I am using gridseed. each is doing 362 KH/s @ 850MHz. Also I have 10 gridseeds on each PI, so do I calculate based on the total hash output as in 3620 KH/s or individual miners? Same goes for Dogecoin pool. P2Pool says share difficulty is 1.83 I want to understand what these numbers represent and how I can calculate what number to put for my setup. Many thanks Title: Re: P2Pool Share Difficulty Help Post by: mdude77 on April 01, 2014, 04:28:33 PM Sorry guys, I tried finding info but not able to either understand it properly or I'm missing something. here is the problem.

Many thanks You shouldn't have to adjust your share difficulty. p2pool will adjust it for you with vardiff.

If you are running your own p2pool node you shouldn't need to do anything besides just connect and mine. If you are mining on a busy public node, default p2pool will raise the pseudo share and real share difficulty targets based on the node speed (not your personal speed). You can use a low + if you need more pseudo shares to make your graphs look better, or use / to set a lower speed if you aren't finding enough shares and don't mind potentially smaller ("dust") payouts.
Start with no special settings at all and see how that goes for a day or two, would be my advice. Or run your own local copy of p2pool. |
