If I have 0.02504662 on my P2Pool server and want to send them to other wallet do I only need to subtract 0.001 BTC from it or is the fee higher? I wish someone would create a bitcoin transfer calculator app or website so people like me can figure it out faster. LOL  Don't keep BTC on your pool server, it's a security risk. Mine your coins to a different wallet on a different machine - much safer & saves you having to keep sending small amounts out all the time. I know this thread is long, but there is a wealth of information here & you will find answers to 99% of your questions if you use the search function  Answers like this make most people cut down their coins by 0.001 and risk it. This a community that people are supposed to help one another, and not make it hard for people to find the answers to things.  |

Where do I find my P2Pool logs, I am running Linux (OpenSUSE).
thanks,

Maybe I'm also reading your reply incorrectly here as well, but with p2pool you don't wait for days for a payout. As soon as a block is found you get paid if you've got valid shares on the chain.
As long as you account for the roughly 12 hours for confirmation before payment, yes, it's immediate after the block is found. I made no mention of when the coins would become spendable... just when they are paid out - and that's upon the finding of the block. It's 101 confirmations before they're spendable. My "payout if a block found now" has been slowly dropping in numbers, now it doesn't appear at all, is this still normal? |

So I if I have found 20 shares in 15 hours say and not received a single payout I guess this means a block wasn't found in 15 hours?
Correct. Those 20 shares will count towards your payout whenever a block is found within 24 hours of that share. It's a rolling system, so as old shares drop off new shares will count towards new blocks. So if in 3 days say there has been zero payment, does this still mean no blocks were found? Are you saying you have 20 shares on the chain, yet have received no payout in 3 days? Since 9/9 p2pool has found 11 blocks. There's something wrong with your setup if your logs are saying you've found 20 shares in that time, but you've received nothing. My site is in my tag. http://p2pool.smoothrunnings.ca:9332/ No I am just trying to make a point of asking because back before Neptune's were even being shipped there were times where we would be waiting for days for the payout to happen because of bad block or something in the chain. It was affecting everyone not matter which pool use used. Gotcha... sorry, didn't read it properly I guess. Not enough coffee yet Looking at your node I can see that you've got a few shares on the chain and are expecting a payout when the pool next finds a block. I can also see that you've received a few payouts already at your address, so things are working as expected. Maybe I'm also reading your reply incorrectly here as well, but with p2pool you don't wait for days for a payout. As soon as a block is found you get paid if you've got valid shares on the chain. Have there been times when it's taken a while to find a block? Sure. That's variance for you. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "a bad block or something in the chain". If the block is orphaned, then you won't get a payout for it. Other than that case, I don't know what a "bad block" is. Any solved block that makes it onto the BTC block chain distributes 25 BTC and transaction fees. In p2pool's case, that amount is distributed to all miners who happen to have valid shares on the share chain: 0.5% to the block finder, the remaining 99.5% to the other shares. Don't let those payouts fool you. This is what happened. I powered my P2Pool backup on my ESXi host. Pointed my Neppy to it and got one payout, then took it down to patch P2Pool; I couldn't remember the commands. Started P2Pool again and few hours later I got the next payment; deciding I wanted my friend to use my P2Pool I stopped P2Pool once more and removed the --fee from the start command and restarted P2Pool. Those shares you are seeing is from the last restart point. In the past I have seen it were I wait for days before receiving any payout or after the 2nd or 3rd day doing a shutdown/reboot of the P2Pool before it starts paying out in a timely rate, almost if there is some bug in the P2Pool code itself. On my firewall I have both 9332 and another port open to my P2Pool server. I used to run this when I had two Avalon's, 30 of the 333Mhs USB keys and 5 ice furys. |

Does anyone know what the maximum operating temp is on the Neptune?

How long should it take t complete a block at 3TH/s? My stats say 9h but it's been 13h already, I guessing I have hit a bad block?
Thanks
You're getting blocks and shares mixed up. The entire pool rate is averaging 3.5PH/s, which means the _pool_ will solve a block on average every 9 hours at that speed. At 3TH/s you're going to average about 1-1.5 _shares_ in that same timeframe. The amount of shares you complete is how your payouts are determined - if you have at least one active solved share in the blockchain when a block is found (on p2pool) you will receive a payout. Depending on the node frontend you're using that information can be found pretty easily and presented on the front page, on others it may require a little more digging. At about 3TH/s you should expect a payout of between .02 - .03 BTC with every block at the current pool hash rate. So I if I have found 20 shares in 15 hours say and not received a single payout I guess this means a block wasn't found in 15 hours? |

So is there no formula and or rule for figuring out if the best incoming connections your own P2Pool node base on your internet connection speed?
Thanks,

Batch 1 customers need bonus miner, otherwise this is not fair to us.
It's actually batch 1 & 2 who get the bonus miner, though I think they should give us 2 bonus miners they did take even longer to start shipping them after when they promised them. |

Does anyone know if they ship their asics with cables or do I have to buy that myself as well?
All you get are the ribbon cables for the miner board. If you are looking for PCI-E cables you'll have to buy them. |

I am bit confused.
I removed the --fee from my server start string, it shows a fee of 0% on my site yet I just got a payout, my miner wallet got 0.004x and when I checked my p2pool wallet I see a payment of 0.008x does this mean the fee system is still working or am I not understanding something?
Thanks,

with the given power at 1160 watts should I settle for 1250 power supply or do I have to buy a 1500 one to be safe?
If you plan to now tweak your Neptune cubes (changes the voltages/MHz per chip) then yes you could get away with 1300 watt PSU's to be safe. I know EVGA is having a sale on their SuperNova 1300w G2 (4th Gen) PSU's, they cost $195 CAD each. I picked up a couple for a friend.You will have to buy the 16AWG cables about $10 each plus shipping. I wish there was someone making and or selling (in stock) in the Greater Toronto Area so I wouldn't have to buy them overseas.  |

There is something wrong here I think? It looks like I getting 3.4TH/s with only 4 cubes on which leads me to suspect the 5 is actually running but how I don't know. I can say this, in the Advanced tab the the ASIC Slot 1 doesn't show up.  You must be joking. I see 5 cubes connected to slots 2,3,4,5,6. The lcd it's connected to slot number 1. Everything it's fine. Oh snap! That's embarrassing. Lol. Yeah I can't count, but it certainly wasn't as embarrassing to me as it was to you maybe? LOL |

Sorry how do I download this frontend that coinadence uses? I went to the site and didn't see a link to its source. Thanks for the update info!! It's not a publicly released front end. Yet. I was using --fee 50 previously as I was loaning out my miners to people. Now that I am no longer doing that do I just need to remove the --fee 50 so that my pool only takes 0.5%? or do I need to remove the 50 and replace it with 0.5?
I also have incoming connections set to 8 and outgoing to 6, do I need these left alone?
I am using a 35/2Meg cable connection that isn't dedicated to p2pool.
Replace it with 0.5. You can manually set your incoming connections using --max-cons. Incoming connections default to 40. Outgoing connections default to 6. I did the git pull on my p2pool then restart my pool and got 13.4-24-gf0eeb48-dirty as the version number. Is this correct or is there something that I am missing?
Thanks,
No, that's not the latest version. Are you using the standard p2pool code, or someone's fork (like rav3n)? I am using the standard P2Pool code. Is there someones else's fork I should consider using for BTC p2pool mining? I understand the --max cons, I previously set it to 8 when I had a 28/1Meg internet connection, I just wondering if I should uncap it or leave it? Thanks! |
