Developers of new alt-coins should also release the right p2pool config immediately when a coin is launched.
This should become a standard practice, so that every p2pool node uses the exact same configuration creating one homogeneous mega pool. I've seen multiple p2pools for the same coin because multiple persons create different configurations. P2pool is pretty useless if the nodes for the same coin do not all act as one.

I like p2pool a lot but I still fail to find correct configurations for new alt-coins.

Yes I agree completely! How can we enforce this?

I found that using p2pool with a BFL single was taking over 24 hours for a single share.  And the $amount per day/week was dropping like a stone.

Meanwhile, I could use the same electricity to mine more profitable altcoins.

Probably not the only one...


Also I was trying to help someone setup p2pool for mining ronpaulcoin (scrypt) on Windows 7 (64 bit).   It was near impossible, requirng the end-user to build a python C module (ltc_scrypt) except that it doesn't actually build correctly on 64 bit windows.  So sorry, SOL.

Not to mention there is really no main p2pool webpage for learning about it.  And the author doesn't seem at all proactive about adding new coins or maintaining it.   So lots of forks.

It seems like abandonware to me.   I hope the author or someone else picks it up and starts making it a lot more newbie friendly and also maybe think about ways to improve the share time for bitcoin miners because it is kinda sad when 60Ghz/sec cannot even get you 1 share per day.

my 2 cents

^ This. Pretty much sums it all up what the current issues are with p2pool. Looks like the masses is not interested in p2pool.

2 days - no reaction. p2pool really looks like it is left for dead.
This post sums it all up for me how I feel about p2pool atm: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=441415.msg4884203#msg4884203
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Finding p2pool networks.py values for new altcoins on: February 03, 2014, 02:54:56 PM
can we update the TS with all known settings and their required values and where to find those values?

I am going to join this topic and added cartmanspc and CryptoCrow to skype. Hope you guys will add me so I can join the discussion there as well.
It annoys me hugely that there isn't a proper post or guide which explains all the various networks.py settings in detail.
26  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [185 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: February 01, 2014, 08:43:49 AM
Is there a forum post or website where all the altcoin networks.py settings are being shared? I can see the P2pool forks on Github where people commit their own networks.py settings back to their own repository but none are being merged back into the original forrestv/p2pool repository. For now, I am specifically searching for the Digibyte altcoin but would like to add the other altcoins later on as well.

I am talking about this part:

   
Code:
litecoin=math.Object(
    PARENT=networks.nets['litecoin'],
    SHARE_PERIOD=15, # seconds
    CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
    REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
    TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=200, # shares
    SPREAD=3, # blocks
    IDENTIFIER='e037d5b8c6923410'.decode('hex'),
    PREFIX='7208c1a53ef629b0'.decode('hex'),
    P2P_PORT=9 338,
    MIN_TARGET=0,
    MAX_TARGET=2**256//2**20 - 1,
    PERSIST=True,
    WORKER_PORT=9327,
    BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS='...'.split(' '),
    ANNOUNCE_CHANNEL='#p2pool-ltc',
    VERSION_CHECK=lambda v: True,
    VERSION_WARNING=lambda v: 'Upgrade Litecoin to >=0.8.5.1!' if v < 80501 else None,
),

And if none are being shared publicly, how do I correctly edit the settings myself for the different altcoins?

+1 I am curious to find the answer as well. For one I find it pretty hard to find the proper networks.py settings for altcoins. It seems to me every fork maintains his own networks.py config.

Anyone has the digibyte networks.py config for p2pool ready?
I am talking about:

Code:
litecoin=math.Object(
        PARENT=networks.nets['litecoin'],
        SHARE_PERIOD=10, # seconds
        CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=200, # shares
        SPREAD=12, # blocks
        IDENTIFIER='e037d5b8c6923410'.decode('hex'),
        PREFIX='7208c1a53ef629b0'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=8301,
        MIN_TARGET=0,
        MAX_TARGET=2**256//2**20 - 1,
        PERSIST=False,
        WORKER_PORT=8300,
        BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS=''(' '),
        ANNOUNCE_CHANNEL='#p2pool-alt',
        VERSION_CHECK=lambda v: True,

God, why can't I find any p2pool config for Digibyte. I guess I have to figure it out myself.

Anyone? There are several p2pools online where you can mine digibyte so there should be a config available somewhere..

the digifaucet.com looks broken

You are unable to receive any more DGB at this time. Please wait another -34 seconds and try again.

-34 seconds  Huh
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★ DigiByte ★★ [DGB] - A Professional Cryptocurrency ✈ Android Wallet ✔ on: January 25, 2014, 05:24:30 PM
Are there any DGB/USD or DGB/BTC charts available already?
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★ DigiByte ★★ [DGB] - A Professional Cryptocurrency ✈ Android Wallet ✔ on: January 25, 2014, 03:20:44 PM
with CoinMarket.io working so well does this coin even need another exchange?

For sure, would like to do arbitrage trading.

miningpool.co back up, but unable to login again? nevermind.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ★★ DigiByte ★★ [DGB] - A Professional Cryptocurrency ✈ Android Wallet ✔ on: January 24, 2014, 01:21:22 PM
miningpool.co DGB down? Pool hash rate showing 0

Confirmed. Seeing the same. No way to contact them?
36  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: pushpoold + mmcfe-ng on: May 14, 2013, 08:48:42 PM
Since I am only able to post here, Ill put my issue here Smiley

I am successfully running elacoind (litecoind) and pushpoold on a debian machine. Now I want to install mmcfe-ng (https://github.com/TheSerapher/php-mmcfe-ng) which is fairly easy to setup. Except to the point where the workers I have created in the web interface won't get 'synced' with pushpoold somehow.

How do I manage this last step? As I am unable to connect to the pool with the worker I have created in the interface. When I manually add a worker to the POOL_WORKER db table from pushpoold I am able to connect.

I am really lost here Sad

Ok seems I have to edit pushpoold's server.json to reflect the db of that of mmcfe-ng. Seems to work now. I able to connect, although I am not sure if the it is actually mining and the shares are valid. How can I check?

Need to make a post to be able to send a PM. I understand why, but it's kinda lame imo..
