P2POOLS are GREAT  ;D

Much better than those private pools who either don't pay, hold your earnings until you reach a certain amount,
and/or take forever to earn very tiny weeny credits per block.

I used to mine on P2POOL.ORG - until it became overrun with miners and some BIG HASHERS with 16Mhs scrypt
took over several pools, taking 90% of the payouts for themselves, and leaving "dust" for everyone else. :-[

I found a new P2POOL site running latest p2pool v13.4 on a fast server with 32gb ram
it is NOT connect to p2pool.org or it's nodes for the simple reason that when you mine on
p2pool.org or any one of the other pools connected to each other as nodes, you have to split
payouts with everyone on ALL the nodes, and not just that site, but all the connected p2pools!

This new site is an attempt to provide an alternative to p2pool.org, and because is not connected to
any nodes, when the pools find blocks, miners in its pools should get much BIGGER payouts and
not have to split with 1000s of other miners as in the p2pool.org noded sites.

Because this site is brand new it needs MINERS!
it also needs testing and if any problems or issues are found, contact the site immediately so they can address it.

Honestly, if it weren't for the BIG hashers and overfilled pools on p2pool.org, I would continue to mine on their site.
But lacking the hashing power, I can barely get any payouts there anymore, and if I do, they are very very small ones.

currently, they have pools for: 42coin, bitcoin, cryptonium, digibyte, digitalcoin, dogecoin, elacoin, feathercoin,
                                          giftcoin, litecoin, mooncoin, and RonPaulCoin + many more soon to come.


please checkout :    p2pool.neocities.org      and maybe get some BIG payouts :)

and do so before it gets taken over with BIG miners like p2pool.org did!

16 mh/s is considered "big"?   ::)

16Mhs is BIG for scrypt algos!
but not for SHA256 bitcoin algos where ASIC is necessary in the Ghs or Ths ranges.

I don't think chaincoin can be added. I believe it is only possible to CPU mine it because
it uses 8 different algos "chained" together and there's not to my knowledge a
cpu miner or gpu miner for this coin yet.  :-[

unless someone mods cpu pooler "minerd", or gpu miners "cgminer" or "bfgminer"
I don't think it is possible to pool mine this coin.  sorry.


If you have 1Mhs SCRYPT hashrate or higher, please help get the SCRYPT coin pools
hashrates up, so pools can find blocks faster and miners in these pools get those BIG payouts ;D

Yes, They have a ChainMiner on their first page.

if i ever want to use a p2pool ill come this way

hmmm.  Thank you for the miner info!

I didn't know that.  But know I do!

I thought it was only mineable setting gen=1 in the .conf file!  LoL.


I'll pass the miner info along to the *** p2pool.neocities.org ***  site and request they add it.

I see that they just added a new coin called iCoin....

maybe they can add chaincoin!  Let's see :)

That would be awesome!  Chaincoin seems like a really good coin, 8 algos and all!

I'm downloading chaincoin wallet & miner too now!  Thanks again :D

Wow!

I sent chainchain request to them and it looks like it has been added this morning!
that was fast! :D

chainchain p2pool!!!! :)

p2pool.neocities.org

hey maybe you can add BatCoin?
thanks :)

bad news.... chaincoin was removed  :(

apparently, it uses bitcoin wallet version 6.0
and does not work properly with P2POOL,
which requires a minimum of bitcoin wallet verson 6.4+

maybe if the chaincoin developers updated their wallet to be
based off the newer bitcoin wallet version, then maybe it will play nice with p2pool.

yep, i confirmed this with chaincoind getinfo:

{
    "version" : 89908,
    "protocolversion" : 70001,
    "walletversion" : 60000,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 4147,
    "timeoffset" : -2,
    "connections" : 8,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 3.81276781,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1390269759,
    "keypoolsize" : 101,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "errors" : ""
}


Why did they use old wallet version in their code???

p2pool site:          p2pool.neocities.org

added ASR astrocoin after removing chaincoin

astrocoin specs:

- 3 min. Block Time
- Difficulty Retarget Every Day
- 1 Coin Reward Per Block, halves every 70K Blocks
- Scheduled to Produce 210,000 Total Astrocoins (1% of total Bitcoins)

looks like a good coin, because not many will be minted...
i cant belive people like that DOGE coin, block rewards of 450K coins - that's ridiculous!
i guess some people love BIG numbers, lol!

they added POTCOIN too!

mine 42coin ("420"coin) and POTcoin on this p2pool site   ( cough.... cough....) :D

http://p2pool.neocities.org/neocities.png

FRK franko and GLT galtcoin were added.

BAT batcoin added! :)

p2pool.neocities.org

http://p2pool.neocities.org/p2pool_neocities_org.png

Need some GPU miners to get these pools hashrates up :)

the new GLT galtcoin pool is finding almost every block
and lots of payouts. ;D

CON Coino was added recently too.

ALC alcohoin coin added   ( Burrrrppp....    'scuse me! ) ::)

The pools were recently updated.


Jan. 26, 2014: Fixed incorrect (nSubsidy) calculations on some coins.

Jan. 26, 2014: P2POOL updated to github version 13.4-9-gaafc095-dirty

Jan. 24, 2014: [ALC] Alcohoin ,[CON] Coino added

Get in early and mine MAC machinecoins here on this p2pool
and beat the crowd before its official announced here in [ANN] !

link to machinecoin info:   http://mac.com-http.us/


Be the first to mine it in the p2pool before it goes public!

                     p2pool.neocities.org

Offering p2pools for some new alt-coins that other p2pool sites do not. ;D

Please share your networks.py settings.
You can do a pull request to my git fork: https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav

[FOX] Foxcoins added :)



The Easiest Pools ( ie. lowest difficulty coins - blocks can be found relatively quickly)
are [MAC] machinecoins [GLT] galtcoins [fox] foxcoins [frk] frankos

if you are a NOOB miner or have slow hashrate, try the "easier" pools above



the hardest pools are BTC [ltc] [ftc] [moon] [doge] (ie. takes ALONG time to find a block )

If several GPU miners get in the higher difficulty pools, then blocks can be found in less time!

Would you like to see a new coin added to the pools, one that is NOT on other p2pool sites?

Visit the site, find the BIT-MESSAGE address for REQUESTS - and send in your requests.

Keep in mind, however, than not all coins work with p2pools.

The coin will be tested, and if sucessful, it will be added
if enough miners request it ( and will show up in that pool to mine it ) ;D

MARSCOIN MRS was succesfully added today ;D

now you can mine marscoins on a p2pool

http://p2pool.neocities.org/p2pool_neocities_org.png

more coins and pools

NEW POP popcoin  and  CRD credits coin added ;D

PIR piratecoin added

I'll give MachineCoins a try with your pool.
Does it looks like this -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0oczw3cXrs when mining MAC?  ;D

Your pool seems to be offline.
My miner stops he can't reach the pool.

Also tried a ping to 67.233.202.8

Another pool works for me but want to use your pool.
Please bring the server back or I must change the pool.

sorry, the were updates & maintenance...

I am happy to hear you like these new p2pools
especially the new coins that other p2pool sites don't have.

trying to be different and unique :-)

if there's ever an issue - just check the main site p2pool.neocities.org (http://p2pool.neocities.org)
to check the pools url ( ip address ) if it may have changed.

New  PHI PHIcoin was added the other day when it launched

Just added PXC phoenixcoin P2POOL today, as requested

and a new web-ui beta ( you can choose the "classic" or "new" web-stats pages now )

It works again thx

Neocities.org (http://vardiff.com/pool/neocities-org/) added to mining pools database
Good luck, miners

Pool seems to be down and I see you update the servers at the moment.
Any timeframe when will be back?

Regards
