I am maintaining a list of public Craftcoin P2Pool nodes in this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251429.0

So far we have a total of 5 nodes with the following being public:

http://crc.xpool.net:8830
http://crcpool.cloudapp.net:8830
http://coinworld.us:8830

Pool working great! Couple new nodes online.

Craftcoin P2Pool is working great! About the best results of any altcoin. DOAs very low. Couple new nodes online.

The network hash rate displayed by some pools is grossly over/underestimated after a diff change.

We will be updating to P2Pool release 13.1 in the next few days. Most likely Sunday evening.

Changes:
* Hardfork at 95% upgraded:
** Bitcoin share period increased from 10 to 30 seconds to cater to ASIC miners. Avalon/BFL/ASICMINER devices should start working well after this.
** Litecoin share period increased from 10 to 15 seconds
** Litecoin payouts spread over 3 block-lengths instead of 12, reducing dust payouts
** Transaction pre-forwarding greatly simplified, allowing future network traffic reductions
** Maximum share difficulty multiplier increased from 10x to 30x to give more freedom to below share difficulty adjustments
** OP_RETURN used in last txout to prevent UTXO database spam
** Stratum nonce length increased from 4 to 8 bytes, allowing for future Avalon support without having to use the "avalon" branch

* Automatically increase share difficulty to prevent payouts below "dust threshold", 0.001 BTC and 0.03 LTC
* Automatically increase share difficulty to prevent any single node from making more than 5% of shares, by default
* Worker username parameters (+PSEUDOSHARE_DIFF/SHARE_DIFF) not longer have to be in a specific order
* Support for submitblock RPC call in new Litecoin versions
* Fixed incompatibility with ASICMINER BE Blade
* Updated bootstrap address list

Thanks for all the hard work! Will update my nodes tomorrow.

If you use this please send me a PM so I can add you to the notify list of source code changes.

Share Difficulty

You can set the level of difficulty sent to your miner by appending a difficulty setting to your wallet address.

The following difficulty settings can be used as a guide:

Kh/s        Difficulty        
1           +0.00000116
50          +0.000058
100         +0.000116
250         +0.00029
500         +0.00058
750         +0.00087
1000        +0.00116        
1250        +0.00145
1500        +0.00174        
1750        +0.00203
2000        +0.00232


To determine the difficulty for your specific hash rate multiply by 0.00000116
For example, if your miner is capable of 1440 Kh/s:

1440 * 0.00000116 = 0.0016704

Example Connection String for a miner capable of 1440 Kh/s:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://crc.xpool.net:8830 -u YourWalletAddress+0.0016704 -p password --scrypt

Live Support

I try to be on IRC as much as possible on these channels: #craftcoin, #xpool, #p2pool, #bitcoin, #digitalcoin, #litecoin, #worldcoin
New block announcements are made in the #craftcoin channel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my miner report so many longpoll/stratum from pool request work restarts?
A: This is normal. It is how often p2pool shares are generated.

Public Craftcoin P2Pool nodes
P2Pool nodes combine their local hash rates to the greater P2Pool hash rate. Use the one with the lowest ping to your miner or start your own local node. Switching between nodes maintains your PPLNS payout level.

Wow...you mean the only thing I was missing was the space between craftcoin and address?! Thank you so much!

Wish that was it...replaced the IP in the example to mask the internal network. It's making the connection but failing the check. Should have made it 127.0.0.1 to not cause confusion :/

Edited the original post.

I'm getting stuck at the weirdest place right now...cant figure it out. Have gone over everything multiple times. It states that the check failed connecting to the RPC port.
Have verified and confirmed the correct ports. ANY ideas?


--bitcoind-address 127.0.0.1 --bitcoind-rpc-port 12123 --bitcoind-p2p-port 12124


2013-07-06 20:29:06.548000 p2pool (version 11.4)
2013-07-06 20:29:06.548000
2013-07-06 20:29:06.548000 Testing bitcoind RPC connection to 'http://127.0.0.1:12123/' with username 'xxx'...
2013-07-06 20:29:06.548000 >     Check failed! Make sure that you're connected to the right bitcoind with --bitcoind-rpc-port!


bitcoin/networks.py:
        P2P_PORT=12124,
        RPC_PORT=12123,
        RPC_CHECK=defer.inlineCallbacks(lambda bitcoind: defer.returnValue(
            'craftcoinaddress' in (yield bitcoind.rpc_help()) and
            not (yield bitcoind.rpc_getinfo())['testnet']

P2Pool almost done. Just need to confirm 2 last values before we can test:

SHARE_PERIOD=xx, # seconds target spacing
TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=xxx, # shares coinbase maturity

Going to sleep now...will check on those in the morning. If anyone can find out the value in the mean time it would be appreciated.

Increasing the memory on the wallet server to accommodate another coin. Your miners will submit DOAs while the server restarts. Should only last for about a minutes.

Edit:
Maintenance done.

Were throwing over 6 Mh/s at the DGC pool soon so you may want to join in.

It comes and goes. Good run there for a while. When we get into the 6+ Mh/s range our luck seems to be really good.

Open the port both incoming and outgoing. The incoming port should be directed/mapped to your wallet computer.

With just the outgoing port open I maxed out at 8 connections. Opening up incoming gets over 60.

Also, check to see if any local software firewall is also blocking the port.

AbiTxGroup,

PM me your address so I can send you a 50 DGC loyalty bonus

Found out a little more on this. Clicking on the hash address gives you the result of an orphan block for 176877. One block explorer shows the orphan block (notice that there is no next block entry, only previous block) and the other does not.

The "1" addresses are actually DGC addresses but displayed incorrectly (don't know why).

For example this address: 1PNHvAW4qsu4A5xmf3373TLsPA8ejAmfKp
Is actually this one: DTWPTRSi9HoLh69NPd2fbDWUGHrx1nLdmk

You can confirm by looking at the block explorer for both and seeing that they are identical:
