Title: 0.5% fee - Pools - Central Cavern Mining Co - Pools Post by: CentralCavern on June 17, 2014, 11:52:37 AM The Central Cavern Mining Nodes Decentralised P2Pool Bitcoin Mining disclaimer This is not a business endeavour, just a side project to help miners join p2pool and help spread the hashrate across the entire network. Use of our pools carries a minimal fee, due to higher server costs in some regions than others, and we have set 0.5% fee across the board. Rest assured, any % we take as a fee is used solely for the purpose of pool maintenance and future upgrades as well as prizes and giveaways. We have added the Manic Miner flash game on the front page, for a bit of fun! www.centralcavern.uk (http://www.centralcavern.uk) WARNING - DATACENTRE NOISE LEVELS - MANIC MINER TUNE IMMINENT!

Just wonder why my hashrate is much lower than should be. And those statistics just not too acurate or what :-\ ? ping 25ms Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 18, 2014, 09:11:59 PM Hi, That is due to the method p2pool determines your hashrate, aswell as the timeframe for the statistic.Just wonder why my hashrate is much lower than should be. And those statistics just not too acurate or what :-\ ? ping 25ms Wait an hour or two and the hashrate should be roughly that of your miner. Donīt be alarmed by a high percentage of DOA shares, as long as you are under the p2pool average, you are even getting payed more than your hashrate. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: raskul on June 18, 2014, 09:13:28 PM Hi, Just wonder why my hashrate is much lower than should be. And those statistics just not too acurate or what :-\ ? ping 25ms Hashrate will fluctuate as data from your miner is sent in packets, which can often show large variations. If your ping time from where your miner is, is 25ms, you will see correct and expected shares and correct average earnings. It also takes a while to ramp in.

The payout model is PPLNS, that means your average commitment over a larger timeframe is recorded and you are then payed according to it once a block is found.You need to wait until all the "shifts" have received work from your miners, then you will receive the maximum payout like on other pools. Could you tell me the reject percentage of your miners at the moment? Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched!

Even the 1caverneg4URzStAJC9iYiSgxeAo59Uai (https://blockchain.info/address/1caverneg4URzStAJC9iYiSgxeAo59Uai) BTCtc address on the stats page (http://pool.centralcavern.uk:9332/static/), is not yet fully ramped in, and that miner has been pointing at this node since it launched. don't worry.

Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 19, 2014, 05:46:47 AM BTW is this a normal dead / orphan rate of shares?
Does it become lower when the pool pears with more other pools, or is it solely dependant on the miners? Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: raskul on June 19, 2014, 05:51:23 AM BTW is this a normal dead / orphan rate of shares? Does it become lower when the pool pears with more other pools, or is it solely dependant on the miners? Looking at other nodes with similar setup, yes, it looks normal; this is murdof's node (Greece) http://pool.nitro.gr:9332/static/ - which is running on a slightly less powerful server than ours. Since launch, at one point we had 7 miners on the node, so i suppose the more miners; the more orphan/dead shares we might see. So, to answer your questions; it seems normal, however with being quite new to p2pool myself, i'll look further into this when i get some time and report back. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 19, 2014, 09:54:03 AM I think the main source of dead shares was the previous miner (who didnīt understand PPLNS), who also had a higher reject rate
Everyone who is mining on the node now seems to have a good ping. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: raskul on June 19, 2014, 10:21:30 AM I think the main source of dead shares was the previous miner (who didnīt understand PPLNS), who also had a higher reject rate Everyone who is mining on the node now seems to have a good ping. Looks all good to me! One other thing, i would prefer to keep 0% fee but others have intimated that they wouldn't mind paying a small fee to use centralcavern nodes. Should i keep it 0% or instigate a minimal fee structure? I really don't mind either way since miners are free to guve dinations as stated on the noisy page. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 19, 2014, 10:32:59 AM I donīt know the cost of a server, apart from the one i recommended for Iceland.
If e.g the Iceland node ends up with 10TH and you can get ~20$ a month from merged mining NMC (currently~3TH for that) or DVC, i would think a voluntary donation would be nice. I would definately send a donation to cover part of the Iceland node cost. It also depends on wether you would use the server for anything else, if you need a server with residual ~400GB of storage anyway then it becomes "profitable" quite quickly. Finally, i think you would probably receive more in donations with a 0% pool fee in comparison to a pool fee. You will also receive higher donations when people are still able to hear after visiting the pool page ;) Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: murdof on June 19, 2014, 11:51:26 AM BTW merge mining sounds nice but it really doesn't give you a big profit.
I have for example 13000 Fusioncoin which it is not even traded. I0C is not traded either. So if you talk about NMC, DVC, IXC the difficulty is the same as bitcoin but value is very small. Good to have - but I have come to the conclusion it is a lot of fuss for nothing... e.g. Huntercoin is a resource hog which is still syncing the blockchain for almost 1 week... HUC has value but again I don't expect to mine much. I can't be bothered to go to an exchange tbh. I just prefer to check my wallet and see the bitcoins coming in... Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: raskul on June 19, 2014, 12:45:32 PM I think the conclusion in this matter is that the 0% fee should remain.
Murdof is right about the merge mining; it's precious-little for what seems to be just a drain on resources. I gave up trying to install a HUC wallet locally and i think it will most likely save money by removing it as a merged coin, due to its pull on the VPS resources. I should also remark; in no way do i expect any donations towards the upkeep, i'm doing this because i enjoy learning and because i feel p2pool is the way we should all be mining. So, please do not feel obliged to give anything as a donation. I'll set about getting the Iceland server up, hopefully this week as the wife and I are away this weekend. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 19, 2014, 01:09:30 PM I think namecoin gives you around 0.5% extra income, so this should be enough to cover the 20/month expense (or whatever it takes).
I donīt know how long the setup takes, but it would be a "donation" of your working time most likely. Again, i would give a small donation to help cover the cost of the server. I thought NMC wouldnīt be too difficult to set up, but i donīt know. P2pool doesnīt only help decentralize mining, but also helps build reliable Bitcoin nodes, as every server has to run the full copy of the Bitcoin client.

So it basically is very luck dependant. Another question: How much traffic are you generating on your node? Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 19, 2014, 01:58:24 PM Welcome on the node, new user :)
Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: murdof on June 19, 2014, 02:15:07 PM Ah okay, didnīt know that. So it basically is very luck dependant. Another question: How much traffic are you generating on your node? Do you mean web traffic? i.e. how much bandwidth you would need to run it? If you have Bitcoin P2P on - then it can pull a lot of data. Otherwise it is minimal. You can run it over DSL line. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: jonnybravo0311 on June 19, 2014, 02:45:05 PM Ah okay, didnīt know that. That's correct. The key here is that when you're merged-mining, you are effectively solo-mining the coins with the node's hash rate. I've been running my own p2pool node since April, and typically I'm the only one on it (mostly because I don't advertise it since I run it on my rMBP from home). Since I've been mining, I got lucky and managed to crack a BTC block (on April 26). That gave me block rewards for NMC, IXC, I0C, DVC. I've since added FSC. I'm pretty sure FSC is dead in the water since the last time I checked the website and block explorer were offline, but the last time I was able to access it, my node represented up to half of the entire hashing power of the coin (and I've only got about 1.8TH/s).So it basically is very luck dependant. Another question: How much traffic are you generating on your node? At any rate, I guess what I'm stating is that if your node gets a respectable amount of hashing power, merged-mining becomes worthwhile (at least you can trade the NMC, IXC, DVC). Until then, well... As for web traffic, if you let p2pool and Bitcoin core have their way, they'll push/pull large amounts of data because peers are constantly hitting your node to download the block/share chains. You can kind of limit things by setting max connections for both, but running a wide open node will eat up your bandwidth. It can be detrimental to your node's efficiency, because if your pipe is clogged with a ton of traffic from peers downloading the chains, shares you submit might end up orphaned because they took to long to be broadcast. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: raskul on June 19, 2014, 03:04:09 PM Don't worry about bandwidth, i have plenty.
With regards the merge coins, i intend to (if we ever find blocks) share them with the miners on the node by way of giveaways etc. We are a true 0% fee p2pool node and i intend on keeping it that way 8) Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 19, 2014, 04:09:28 PM I was just wondering whether there would be a chance we would manage to get to 5TB of traffic on the upcoming Iceland node.
However, i think that is pretty unlikely even with full access of p2pool nodes and a big amount of bitcoin core traffic. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched!

However, i think that is pretty unlikely even with full access of p2pool nodes and a big amount of bitcoin core traffic. well, being as I am, i like to be safe rather than mess up, and since other miners are involved, once I get around to setting up the Iceland VPS, it'll be a substantial specification of server. While I'm still weighing things up.. it'll likely be monday next week before I can get around to it, as this week is very busy. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched!

Your pool sounds like just what I've been looking for, but it seems like my miners are hitting a ceiling of a "difficulty" of 999.98. I am used to seeing that as more of a dynamic value. Is that hard-coded on your pool? Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: murdof on June 19, 2014, 05:17:42 PM Hi, Your pool sounds like just what I've been looking for, but it seems like my miners are hitting a ceiling of a "difficulty" of 999.98. I am used to seeing that as more of a dynamic value. Is that hard-coded on your pool? From P2Pool wiki: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool Q: Why does my miner say it has found a lot of shares but p2pool say I have only found a few?! A: The real P2Pool difficulty is hundreds of times higher than on normal pools, but p2pool essentially lies to your miner and tells it to work on relatively easy shares so that it submits shares every few seconds instead of every few hours. P2Pool then ignores any submitted shares that don't match the real share difficulty. By doing this, P2Pool can more accurately report your local hash rate and you can see if you are having problems with too many stale shares quickly I assume that's what you are asking?

thank you Murdof. :) Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: jonnybravo0311 on June 19, 2014, 05:36:35 PM Hi, The difficulty given out by a p2pool node is based on the total hash rate of the node. It's designed that way so the node doesn't get flooded with shares that have no chance of actually being an accepted block solution. There are two difficulty settings that are taken into account: pseudo and actual. The pseudo difficulty is the difficulty of shares your miner submits. The only real purpose of this is to make your graphs look pretty. The actual difficulty determines the value of your share relative to other miners. It is there to ensure that miners with high hash rates don't completely dominate the share chain. Again, this is calculated by the node. You can set your own values if you wish when you connect to the pool:Your pool sounds like just what I've been looking for, but it seems like my miners are hitting a ceiling of a "difficulty" of 999.98.

Conversely, if you have that same S1 on a p2pool node where it is the only miner, you'll find that your shares are worth the "normal" value. Hope this helps.

Post by: specialed101 on June 19, 2014, 05:42:02 PM Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. I've only been messing with bitcoin mining for a few weeks now; so please excuse my ignorance. I had thought that it is the "difficulty" setting from the pool that is regulating how hard my miners are working. There have been some very brief peaks in the 1TH/s range for each miner, but they keep throttling down to the 800+ to 900+ GH/s range, underperforming by about 300 GH/s combined. This underperformance could impact my potential payout by about 10%, right? I have to admit that it's nice that they are running quite a bit cooler when I use your pool. ;D However, I would like to get them back up to 1TH/s each. Any ideas?

Difficulty: 468.830432 Share difficulty: 1567138.331514 Total block value: 25.064672 BTC including 325 transactions The three miners with the difficulty of 468.830432 are ones that are using the default node's difficulty settings. The one with the 64.000000 difficulty has manually set the difficulty as I showed in my previous post. As for why you're getting ~900GH/s as opposed to the 1TH/s you should be, are you by chance using an Antminer S2? If yes, I recommend you point it to another pool. The problem is in the custom version of cgminer that the S2 uses. That version doesn't play well with p2pool and as a result you'll see that it will only average between 800 and 900 GH/s. Kano has been working on creating a better driver for the S2, and to compile a new version of cgminer; however, due to the closed-source nature of Bitmain's software, he's been having a difficult time reverse engineering it successfully.

Post by: jonnybravo0311 on June 19, 2014, 06:26:20 PM By the way... just for fun I figured I'd see what kind of ping I'd get for this server from my location (Near Philadelphia in the US):
--- pool.centralcavern.uk ping statistics --- 80 packets transmitted, 79 packets received, 1.2% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 96.268/114.866/289.298/42.460 ms Not terrible, but with an average of nearly 115ms, I'd see too many rejects.

This http://forum.netcodepool.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=238 (http://forum.netcodepool.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=238) kind of went along with one suggestion, and sure enough the numbers have improved, including reducing the rejects.

Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: zvs on June 22, 2014, 02:30:54 PM I wish people would realize the fallacy of this whole ping time being the most important factor nonsense.
Here's my post copy & pasted from another board, in reply to someone that questioned what I was saying. Keep in mind that this is for DOGE, the shares are farther apart for Bitcoins, so latency will have less of an impact. Sure, Find a p2pool with at least 200 shares, preferably 500+. See what the orphan rate is, ignore the DOA rate (unless it's incredibly abnormal, like p2pool.org's). Pool A has an orphan rate of 15%, pool B has an orphan rate of 10%. You have 30ms latency to pool A, 200ms latency to pool B (0% packetloss to both). P2pool attempts to time shares 15s apart, but from my experience it's more than that... so, let's be liberal with it and say 6 shares per minute, plus one block per minute. That's seven interruptions per minute. There's a 170ms latency difference, which ends up being 340ms because of the round trip. Re: Your machine gets work, an interrupt occurs a nanosecond later, your machine keeps working on the old work for ~170ms, gets the new work and then there's another 170ms until that new work can be submitted... so then 7*340ms, 2380ms, 2.38s of dead time per minute. That's roughly a 4% DOA differential between Pool A and pool B. So then you have, say, expected DOA of 1% on pool A, expected DOA of 5% on pool B.... adding those to the orphan rates, it becomes 16% for pool A and 15% for pool B, which means you'd be better off on pool B. Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: Collider on June 22, 2014, 02:45:17 PM DOA rates (for shares) at Bitcoin p2pools are however atleast 2.5%.
Reducing the ping from 40ms to under 1ms improved my DOA rate from ~5% to 2.5%. The main thing you should look out for is that your DOA rate is lower than the average P2Pool rate, as you will produce less invalid shares, which will in turn increase your payout per block. Am I correct in the assumption that only shares "expire" within the 10 second timeframe and found blocks donīt expire that fast? Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched! Post by: raskul on June 22, 2014, 07:48:42 PM I wish people would realize the fallacy of this whole ping time being the most important factor nonsense. Ping time is not the most important factor, but it does make a difference, as you will acknowledge. Our miners do realise there are other important factors and what we aim to do is ensure that there are nodes in regions of the world where there are may be no nodes, or the nodes available are not as stable; to allow the option for miners to mine on p2pool. The more public nodes across the world, the more options miners will have, in the future and the more stable the p2pool network will be. We simply aim to have powerful servers which run stable and reliable nodes for p2pool bitcoin mining. It's not about being the only participant, or to monopolise on p2pool nodes; rather, the opposite - if you are able to find a lower rate of rejects somewhere else, then please do not feel that centralcavern nodes are the preferable option for you. In some regions of the world it can be more costly to run a VPS for single miner use, so we just want to try and help in cases such as this. :) Title: Re: [ANN] Central Cavern P2Pool Node Launched!

Looking to the future, it seems the p2pool community are to be working on the p2pool code, so once things have been evened out, I expect miners to come back. there is some discourse with the developer currently and this is why p2pool lost over 2/3rds of it's network hashrate in the last week.well, anyway; nodes are there, feel free to use them when you wish, and hop off when you feel you can find more profit on another pool or altcoin. ;D Title: Re: 0.5% fees - Central Cavern P2Pool Nodes - EU - IS - IL Post by: Collider on June 24, 2014, 10:18:16 AM This is a common misconception.
Profitability isnīt influenced by pool size, only variance is. p2pool has long PPLNS rounds though, so every share is counted when paying. In fact, you can get more out of p2pool than any other pool, when you have a low reject share rate.
