Good job!

Thanks

Let me know how it goes people :)

w00p w00p

mining away here, let's see :) appreciate the efforts :)

Hope all goes well, any issues post them here.

Just an edit to original post, Stratum is enabled on this server.

Daft question, where can we see stats?

thanks

Hi

I am sorry, completely forgot.

Please see original post, have updated.

Works great :)

Great news :).

I love this coin, but my mining power sucks. 10khs :-\ Know anywhere to rent a mining rig?

2 payments received so far, seems to be working great :)

Good to hear, I think it will take a few hours to stabilise.

As always, anyone with any issues please post here so that I am aware - should any arise.

well i'll keep both my gpu & cpu pointed at your pool overnight & for much of the day tomorrow, i'll keep you updated :)

Update: Working good with fast payouts :)

p2pools are the best, good job

Appreciated. ;)

Recruit your miners people, the server isn't breaking a sweat.

Probably dumb question, but I don't want to setup every machine I have to run proxy.  All my GPU's run stratum, but is there a way to connect my processor farm w/o setting up stratum proxy?  Can you do a non stratum pool (http://)? or is it really worth your time?

Thanks!

p2pool works without stratum also

alrighty, I will point my cpu farm to it.  Thanks for the fast response!

Thank you BlastBob.

Which everyone has to remove manually :( The first world is a difficult place

Fixed.  ;)

Windows users are having difficulty in getting the WDC wallet to connect to the network and sync, it is thought it might be a windows firewall issues, is there any insight on this?

I haven't had any issues at all with the wallet on windows 7 x64.  To see if it the windows firewall, you can just temporarily disable the windows firewall and see if it fixes the issue.  If it does fix the issue, you can create a rule in the firewall to allow the QT program.  If it's not the windows firewall, you might try forwarding the port to your computer through your router/hardware firewall.

A thorough reconfiguration of windows firewall "rules" has been made to allow the WDC QT executable communications inbound and outbound, no affect. Using a windows testbed computer with standard and default settings, modified to allow the wallet to run, there is no CPU utilization by the wallet, no network traffic on any port associated with the wallet, etc ...

Turning the firewall off completely had no effect. I've been using windows at a professional level for several decades. BTC, LTC, FTC, CNC, and even the Yacoin wallet all work without any issues, this is the only wallet to date that I've had issues with.

Going to try this out later, thanks for making it. Of course Comcast had an issue with a power line, so I am stuck using my slow "OverDrive" WiFi hotspot.

How often are the payouts?

Payouts are often, as it stands right now on average between 1-8 minutes as an estimate (most usually 1-4 minutes).

Running well at ~110MH/s, but... need some more miners guys ;).

Every time I try to connect:

[2013-05-17 11:33:02] JSON-RPC call failed: {
   "message": "Bad worker credentials",
   "code": -1
}

logging with:

-O WZS59QrEYhcJcdufh5xwo9VR3SXj77KVxa:X

 ???

Give this a try...

-o 212.48.67.50:8336 -u WZS59QrEYhcJcdufh5xwo9VR3SXj77KVxa -p x

thx, it works

I'm just getting:

LONGPOLL from pool 0 detected new block
LONGPOLL from pool 0 requested work restart

Over and over again, without any accepted/rejected shares. I've never had this on a pool before. Am I doing something wrong?

No problem, glad I could help. Happy mining  8)


What are you using to connect to the pool?

I have updated the original post with basic connection settings to the server to get most of you online that are having issues - hopefully this helps.  You will need to add further parameters however, intensity etc.

Working pretty fine. Recieved payments. Trustworthy :)

Appreciate the kind words  8)

Just using cgminer as the miner.
Changed the url from http to stratum+tcp and now all I'm getting is:
Stratum from pool 0 detected new block
Stratum from pool 0 requested work restart

I have these as the main args:

I haven't recieved any payment in the last 60 minutes, and I'm getting stales. What's happening?
Using cgminer and cpuminer.

Efficiency still at ~100%... I will look into it.

been a while since I had a payment, also difficulty seems rather high

receiving payments again now

Tempoarily down.

Back, up. Changed some settings.

Keep me updated how it goes people please.

I'm getting very much: Stratum from pool 0 requested work restart  ???

Try again now, possibly you tried when the pool was just down.  What miner and settings are you using?

m2 but I guess that is normal?

Original post updated with optimisation tweaks.

not receiving payout now for 1 hour,
it seems you have the same bug as p2pool have, there is no way to fix it(anyone hasen't fixed it), only way is high hash miners mine it. or less ppl mine it... i was having same issue when got 80Mh/s on pool, now when less than 20Mh it work fine

payments are larger and more frequent now that I have change the difficulty, thanks gpudude

Give the optimisation tweaks a try and see how that works for you.



Great news :)

As always people, any issues post here I will attempt to resolve them ASAP.

How to sign up this pool, i dont see the link.

No sign up required, just point your miners to the pool using details in first post.  Your username is your WDC Wallet, Password is X.

Any issues, let me know :).

Is this why the pool is p2pool? I'm new to mining  :)

Sitting at a steady 110MH/s... server needs some more of you miners :)

Point your miners at this pool, No registration required, fast payout rate!

Hello

How does this pool work? I have been mining for 30 mins with over 600 accepted shares but I don't see my miner under the stats? WZ1v5x9EcfXeodk5nN2HWYeBfGVAfAF3vT

Thank you

Hi mrvegad,

You must be connected at least 1 hour to the pool (ideally 3+) to start receiving payouts due to the nature of p2pool.

Check in around 1.5 hours time and you should start to see payouts begin.

Thanks

Thank you for the quick reply!

No problem.

Further optimisation applied.

Posting over here now. Yea, I dunno what was up between 2-3AM EST and why my shares weren't counting, but I'm receiving payments now after mining for about 15 minutes. I also added the +0.00087310 and now the share difficulty is 57 which seems much more manageable. Will update again in a few hours.

 Hello gpudude  would you mind sharing your pool I  would like to run p2pool  on my own server  if you don't mind

Slight increase to 130MH/s, still room for more people!

Point your miners here!

All I get is "detected new block," is that normal?

How long have you been connected to the pool? Also what settings are you using?

I was connected for about 25 minutes. Yesterday, I was connected for a while, maybe ~45 mins-1hr, I didn't get anything.

I have tried stratum and no stratum.

Settings look fine, wait around 1-1.5 hours and see if payments get processed.  You must stay at least 1 hour on the pool, ideally 3+ to start receiving stable payouts.

Also, try Stratum - it is much better.  Keep me updated.

Well, it's been quite a few hours now, and things are working excellently for me now. I ended up using the 1000kh setting (making shares of diff 76) and i'm getting good payouts frequently. Looks like I found my pool!

Awesome news! Glad you are liking it :) Spread the word  ;)

DDOS @ This time.

/!\ Update /!\ Pool Status: Running.

Why I got error message:  pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: <unkown reason> again and again. ??? my setting is below since I got two 7950s running with 1240kH/s totally.

   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://212.48.67.50:8336",
      "user" : "WQWSQWUyaFsyP3uJ7vCmBDUT6exGhqBNFa+0.00116414",
      "pass" : "x"
   },

It is connected now, but all shares are rejected, if it is normal when connected to p2pool in the begining?

Hi,

No that's not normal. This means you need to tweak your miner config (intensity etc).

when diff recalculates again?

I changed the cgminer config and restarted it. But got error pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: <unkown reason> gain.

Not sure why, pool is operating fine. Perhaps try another miner program.

Remember the settings in the original post are basic, and need to be competed by following mining connecting guides.

I sometimes get this too, just try another pool

Do I need to wait the 1-3 hours every time I reconnect to the pool?

What happens to my accepted shares from the first hours of mining?

some pools seem constantly DDoS'ed sucks

No, it should save and pickup where you left off on that round. If not, you will still be paid.


Pool has been up - only one DDOS occured here been running fine for 10+ hours @ 115MH/s.

Hmm, I've been mining with default settings during the night and I got some wtc when I synced my worldcoin client. Then I changed my settings (added +0.0000xxxx type of thing) and I have been mining for 2-3 hours since then with a few thousand accepted shares but nothing appears in my client nor on the pool's website.

Do you have to wait again after changing settings?

wtc address is: WbpUUAUTWkiKFn1MbCQ5rvxThjToYACgn8 if that makes a difference.

Is the client still synced? Did you stop and start the miner after adding the optimisation (+00...) to your address?

After 1 hour of mining you should start to receive payouts - I have noticed the payout section wallets aren't always there but still get paid.

Last payouts were two at 22 past, one at 23 past and one at 24 past so they are coming through from the sever end.

giving the pool a try... let's see :)

I completely stopped the miner then changed the settings and then started it again. Should I stop it again and try to keep it stopped for a little bit longer?
Wtc client is snyced and nothing shows up, including in 'unconfirmed' and my miner has been reports accepted shares (2000 and counting) every second for the last 3 hours (~2 hours and 45 minutes). I notice that my address is there on the 'graph' section of the website but according to it I've only mined around 3.20 am and have a silly hashrate.

I use cudaminer without stratum for what is worth.

Strange, not sure why. Can you try another miner such as GUIMiner and use Stratum? Also need to be using -scrypt command.

I'm not sure why you are having problems, everyone else seems to be fine so the pool itself is running normal.

I just tried other miners but only cudaminer (which is also used by guiminer) can use my Nvidia card properly. Clearly it worked at some point because I can be seen in the graph in the middle of the night and because I have been paid 3.6 wtc in blocks of .15. You said that there were recent payments sent to my address? How come those haven't gotten through. And if I've been mining and the server has been accepting the shares then what is happening with the wtcs mined from that work?
I am going to leave it offline for a bit and check if anything arrives.

Also, I was curious if there is any way to check in the worldcoin client which pool your wtc coins in from (since they show up as type: mined)

works here with 6400KH

Working great the last 10 hours since I joined. Thanks!
One question, I can't find if there is a way to see invidual stats per adress in the p2pool api. Like hashrate or shares.
You have any idea about this?

edit: mmm, not getting payments in the last two hours. But was working perfect before that.
CGMiner showing shares accepted and the WDC client open with multiples connections.
There is some problem in the server?
WXP5TEaUH5WKSxVzPB8M6VU8LbRgZRJf67 is my adress.

The payouts I quoted were times of payouts at that time for everyone, not specific to your address.

I'm not sure why it isn't working for you, even now the payouts have been constant as always, paying out every 1-8 minutes (sometimes twice a minute). Sorry I can't be of further help.


Hi

I setup this pool very basic so not much detail can be looked at. Payments have been going out constantly - I just checked... Every 1-8 minutes non stop.  No problem with the server.  Also, re checking on your address it doesn't always appear so its hard to check (but you still get paid).  As I said the pool is very basic as are most p2pool, lucky enough this template makes it appear a little nicer.

Thanks, after a while all the payments came suddenly at the same time. At batches.

Good news:)

I appreciate you guys letting me know about payout problems that you are having, as it lets me check the server to ensure everything is running smoothly.

Thanks.

We should, lol ;D

Up.

To get paid, you have to send a share which is more difficult than (Share difficulty) * 65536 (and this share should be accepted).
You can see "Share difficulty" value on http://212.48.67.50:8336/static/ , now it is 0.395 (it depends on the p2pool's hashrate and constantly recalculated).
So the share should be more difficult than 0.395 * 65536 = 25887 (like "Diff 25.9K/..." in cgminer; the first part of such "difficulty" is always more than the second one, which is managed by "+0.0000xxxx").
Note: If the first part of your share difficulty is more than the network difficulty, you will find a block.

I sometimes have difficulties in getting paid, as in:
- mine 1-2-3 hours, and get no rewards
- mine constantly with cpu (30kh) and get no rewards

Now for example, i'm mining for 60minutes, got 541 accepted and no payments.

Have you read my message above?

Yes.
I just restarted cgminer; it reports Diff:183K.


What do 'first part' and 'second part' stand for in your post?

L.E.: Maybe I will use another pool this night, till i get the problem fixed, I got no payments, not even 700-800 accepted and 90 minutes.

You can see such lines in your cgminer console:

"Accepted <hash> Diff <first_part>/<second_part> GPU <gpu_number> pool <pool_number>"
or
"Rejected <hash> Diff <first_part>/<second_part> GPU <gpu_number> pool <pool_number>"

"Diff:183K" is the network difficulty.

Sorry, I'm kinda rookie considering that program  :-[

Last 5:
119/27
2.4k/27
224/27
44/27
681/27

So, I'm mining for nothing?

It's rather hard to produce such a share even with Radeon HD6950 at 448 kH/s.
I had to set the difficulty modificator (after my WDC address) to "+0.00196000", it provides "the second part of share difficulty" = 128 and "the first part of share difficulty" at least 128. It allows to produce shares like 30K/128 (and higher) nearly once per hour. One such a difficult share is enough to get several payments. The more such shares you produce, the greater your payments are.
People having rigs of several HD7950/7970 can produce more shares and more chances for them to be so difficult.

Block chain explorer moved here:

http://wdc.block-chain.net

Unable to connect to the pool nor access the stats page on chrome

It is down at the moment and owner is offline - must be sleeping -

I see, thanks!

Was sleeping :)

Investigating now guys.

Pool back up and running.

The block explorer should be working too now! Note: Was not scheduled downtime, just added an update in there whilst I could.

Appreciate the posts on it status - I try and check as often as I can... sometimes you guys are faster than me  ;D

Thanks

Fixing some issues, be back up shortly.

it's down again... let us know when it's up please

Issues fixed, back up and running.

/!\ Back down again, bare with me.

it is running but very bad:
I get more rejects then accepts...

https://i.imgur.com/gwkS62O.png

You probably too slow. Make sure you have --queue 0 in cgminer, and use the closest pool. Also try reducing the intensity setting.

Ok back up, but there are issues.

Miners: The share difficulty has gone very low, try removing the "tweak" from your address and see if that improves anything.

I'll try to find out what is occurring to optimise the pool, now it is still running ok.

ATTN: Will be working on the pool, so several restarts may occur over the next 30 minutes.

i`m not too slow.. but there is something wrong with the pool.. i`m getting way more rejects then accepts .. and i`ve been mining with 7MH for 24 hours now

gpudude your p2p was great, but i`ll have to switch i`m afraid.

https://i.imgur.com/DfR2zbV.png

The ups and downs + the high rejects :(

Having issues as well....back to LTC for awhile it seems...come join me on my node if you need to point your miner at something
VVV

Thank you for your efforts

I use http://minewdc.dontmine.me  it's not p2pool but nice and fast.

right.. i`m on their second server now :)

Pool is back up, getting through a lot of DOA submitted shares.

Any shares done from connected from now onwards should be paid for as normal (the DOA shares submitted are from a backlog).

After the 'backlog' has cleared, efficiency should go back to where it was 90-95%.

As always, let me know of any issues with the server.

Looks like backlog is already cleared.

Start mining as normal from now, 1% fee.

Checkout the efficiency, currently 185%.

Enjoy :)

Great to see everything is operating as normal.

Sitting at 25MH/s at the moment, lets see if we can get back up and break the record of ~140MH/s that was set previously.

Great finally can put my old computer with to some cpu work at 5kh/s and choosable share diff, only 2 % orphans out of 300

WDC added to coinchoose, 197% profitability ftw~

i've been minig for about 15-20 minutes and now payout has been done...
I`m waiting another 10 and then switching to a pool

You have to wait a few hours until the first payment. That's how p2pool work.

yeah but since the pool hashrate is much lower, we find blocks much more seldom, hence -> fewer payments

It is much lower now, due to downtime.

The more miners we have here, the quicker we will find the blocks.

We were finding them at a rate where payout was between 1-8 minutes and sometimes sent more than once within that time period.

Be patient, lots of tweaks done to optimise your shares and yield more WDC.

8)

Nice to see you back online. Local pool rate is skyrocketing atm.

thanks :)

We need more miners ;) Point them here people.

Over 450MH/s fee will be 0% for a certain amount of time  8)

Hash rate doubled to 50MH/s in 5 hours, lets see if we can get it back up and beyond 140MH/s.

As always, any server issues please let me know I will try to rectify ASAP.

75 MH/s now, must be that BTER.COM announcement.

Get mining people!  8)

Swift recovery for the pool, great to see. 100MH/s milestone breached, next target previous record of 140MH/s.

It can be done   8)

been mining 5 hours have not received a payment?

Whats your address?

I have miners pointed there and been receiving frequent payments.

Please share your code, P2Pool is GPL, look at the COPYING file.
Thanks  ;)
Ignore if i was too silly to find it.

Here is an example of the payments (the PC time is 1 hour behind)   (i.e; that 18:56 payment was 3 minutes ago)

https://i.imgur.com/1iXdAIM.png

I'm not using a wallet I'm using an exchange deposit address Wde4YYScijmbHo8cCoNBdFuoWfAHzeUfdU
Will I still receive my payments?

Ah I see, I'm not sure I am only sure that it will receive on wallet payments only - so you may want to change it.

No, that's the problem. You have to use a wallet address.

Maybe I just can't understand all this scamcoin bizniz, but anyway, where the fuck is the source code for all these p2pool mods?!
Have you heard of opensource basics? How do I connect to your pool?

Other p2pool admin shared his code:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=206904.msg2214357#msg2214357

IMO a reason to switch. Don't fuck with open source. Apparently not necessary for "internal" use. GPL experts come forward plz.

Um, network hashrate is 2.1GH, and WDC is going for 0.0014...How is WDC a scam coin, exactly?

Just like any other instantly announced coin. Fair launch is easy as fuck, look here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196160.msg2106436#msg2106436

What does 'Don't fuck with open source' mean? P2pool is opensource, so why lots of altcoin mod nodes appear without releasing the code modifications?

Because they are taking the opportunity to modify the code themselves, then open a single peer node (not a true p2pool) and charge a % fee for all you suckers that mine there. Same thing happened with YAC. Wait a few days and the real p2pool will start with an actual network of nodes, these are all single-server pools.
