Title: Is this P2Pool working? [BTC] Post by: GoodHosting on December 08, 2013, 02:41:34 AM Been running this pool for about 3 days. Mining off and on. No pool shares yet. This is what console output looks like
Code: 2013-12-07 21:38:31.702000 P2Pool: 17386 shares in chain (17390 verified/17390 total) Peers: 13 (7 incoming) Is this pool working correctly? http://p2pool.goodhosting.info:9332/static/ Title: Re: Is this P2Pool working? [BTC] Post by: GoodHosting on December 08, 2013, 02:46:04 AM Also I've only tested it with CGMiner and Ufasoft CPU Miner.
If anyone wants to test it with other miners :) -u BTC_ADDRESS -p any -o stratum+tcp://p2pool.goodhosting.info:9332 Title: Re: Is this P2Pool working? [BTC] Post by: IYFTech on December 08, 2013, 04:01:53 AM Yes, it's working - but with only 128mh/s you're wasting your electricity.......
"Expected time to share: 174.6 days" That's almost half a year...........for a share. 11.1% DOA is too high also. Title: Re: Is this P2Pool working? [BTC] Post by: GoodHosting on December 08, 2013, 04:13:51 AM It's only 128/Mhash because I haven't started throwing ASIC's at it or promoting it yet. Gotta make sure it works first :P
Title: Re: Is this P2Pool working? [BTC] Post by: Rluner on December 08, 2013, 03:17:06 PM I encountered similar issues with p2pool and my setup after the difficulty kept on rising.
I quote below the final post by me on this topic, which should summise my conclusions. Taken from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg3414073#msg3414073 page 342 After around 1 week of solid processing at 10 gh/s via p2pool network I received 0.00337845 BTC; after missing 16 block payouts in a row. I'm sorry to say this can't be giving me my fair share for my work done on the p2pool network so I have moved off it. You may have something wrong with your miner setup, or with the pool you're using - how many p2pool 'shares' did you submit ? There is some element of 'randomness' - but a week of 15Gh/s has found 17 P2Pool-type 'shares' and apart from the 2 days when that miner had found no p2pool-shares, I've been paid on every block found. Thanks for all the responses. It's good to get feed back. My miner setup was working perfect before the difficulty rose to 268 m. I was running my own p2pool client, efficiently was near perfect, stall rate was virtually zero, DOA was zero. I was able to find a share in nearly every block and got paid out nearly every time. I think I missed two payouts in about twenty, but I hadn't found a share so I knew that was correct too. As soon as the difficulty rose to 268 m without anything changing at my side (after three months working perfectly) I stopped receiving payouts. After a week I ended up with one pay out of a very low amount as previously wrote in a previous post, but p2pool has paid out about 17 times. I had noticed that I couldn't get a successful share before the pool solved a block and when I did manage to get two , one was orphaned. That's when I got my only payout in a week. Summery.... After a week of running at 268 m I have to say p2pool did not work for my 10 gh processing. It had worked perfectly below 268m difficulty, my payouts were nearly ever time and perfect amounts as I calculated from inputting numbers into online calculators. The problem seems to me that my 10 gh can't get a share fast enough for the network, but although I was informed when I did get a share I would get my fair share I clearly didn't. Also I have to add, at the same time I had another 10 gh in another pool, not p2pool, and this paid what I would have expected, over the same time period. I end by saying I believe in the p2pool idea, and I thank the coders, but I also believe as the difficulty rises more low hashing users may have to leave p2pool network due to the issues I have mentioned. |
