Title: p2pool block history
Post by: cabin on January 27, 2012, 03:01:30 PM
Is there a site with a block history for this pool? I can see my address on this page here so I think I have it setup correctly:
http://yat.uukgoblin.net/p2pool-stats/current_payouts.html (http://yat.uukgoblin.net/p2pool-stats/current_payouts.html)

However the expected payout is very small after several days of mining and a pool at 150GH/s should be finding blocks a couple times a day instead of once a week or so. It seems like it may not be using those GH effectively. Hope I'm wrong.. I like the idea of a distributed pool.

on average its 2blocks/day
last block was:
http://blockchain.info/block-index/852772

its random
each has has a certain chance to be correct, so there is no "not effective use"
the stales/orphan/dead shares you see in the client are for the shares chainblock and not the real one
so its just a bit of bad luck, sometimes you find 3-4 sometimes none. On average its the same as a 0% PPS

Ok thanks for the answer, so there really hasn't been a block in 2 days (since I happened to start). Very unlucky! But it sounds like if a p2p share was stale by a few seconds, if it did happen to be that 1 in a million share that was actually a block.. it would become 'unstale' and actually count.. is that right? I hope so!

Cabin, that's how I understand it too. We're doing our own fast small blockchain that distributes the reward, but if you get to solve a block that share never goes stale, it has max priority!

Let's give it a few days and see how the payments are during lucky times!

looks like both forks of the pool found a block.. hopefully things will go smoother now.

I've been getting steadier payouts now too after those first 2 days. The donation for me was relatively large.. much larger than the mining payouts.. I wonder if that was some sort of bug/mistake too. It sure helped offset the bad luck though!

ah that explains it.. I was wondering how my 200MH somehow managed to top the list.

The donations seem to have dropped off but the pool's hashrate is steadily increasing, so hopefully blocks will be found more frequently :)

Is there a "block history" and / or "round durations" for the P2Pool?

Tks!
Thiago
