at least you are losing 0.58 unlike me, I ordered batch 6 and payed 1.32 BTC, I only made 0.30 BTC back (not counting electricity)

so I am down 1 BTC + electricity.

Bitmain knows what it is doing.

Have people preorder s3+ over a month ahead, mine with their equipment.  After collecting everyones orders and mining with their equipment, introduce the next s4 just as you ship all the preorders you have been mining ( testing ) with.

Pretty genius, and what a money maker.

Let's put it this way, if people are willing to plunk down that much money close to 2 months ahead of time seeing the new increase of difficulty levels, what can you do?  Customers are begging bitmain to take advantage. 

The timing is very sad if this is how it played out.  Would have been different if people had the s3+ machines for the last 60 days and then the new s4 got announced. 

The CX600M comes with only 2 PCI-E connectors, so that is all that were used.  It seems like the 600W model should be enough for 2 blades, but perhaps the suggestions that the unit is faulty are correct.  I will order a different model next week.

Hello, a couple of quick noob questions about p2pool.

1. Do the instructions on page 1 still apply, I guess I mean the date is 2012 on those posts, have they been updated as required? Because I would need a user guide like that to be accurate.
2. I am currently using Slush pool, I earn somewhere between 0.015-0.02 a day on 550g/h (since Aug. 19th at 4:30 I have earned 0.067xxx) approximately, does p2pool pay out the same as pooled mining like Slush and BTCGuild.
3 If the first page user guide doesn't apply any more, can you point me to a user guide for currently used software.
4. Are there fees on p2pool payouts, IIRC pooled mining groups like the 2 mentioned, the hosts get a piece of the pie from every user correct?

Thanks for your time and effort in advance for helping this noob understand.
If my 4th point is accurate, I would rather mine somewhere that the operator isn't getting rich from the users, but at the same time, I want to have the greatest earning potential, since buying this hardware isn't cheap that I am shortly investing in.

Unfortunately I am a civil engineer , but not computer engineer ... I am very limited in regard to computing and coding ... I would say, at the "common user" level.


I am a fast learner though.  Can someone point me to the right direction or provide me a list of stuffs starting from scratch that I need to learn if I would wish to contribute to re-coding the p2pool software?


How do coders come to be? 

p2pool is great as a backup.  I would still use Nicehash as a primary for the premium they are paying atm.

p2p will pay you what the calcs say you should get. no more.  Nicehash can pay you %20 more which it is atm.  It serves me no benefit to evne post that here because if all of you start to hash there the orders go through quicker and less for me.  Worst case set nicehash as your first with a BTC payout limit and it will only give you premium work loads for much better btc.

this is a no brainer.

pick your favorite pool after that for pool 2 and 3

I had that problem and the only way for me to fix it was to power off the unit and then back on. After that it went away.

That could still be luck.  6 months ago 1 TH/s was HUGE.  Now, on p2pool, you're looking at 12 hours on avg for a share.

It also doesn't account for the NMC you get from Eligius, which you won't get from p2pool unless you have your own node and blocks are found.

I'm sorry but I honestly do not understand ... how p2p can be the most profittabile when reward fluctuate under 10 mBtc for 1.5 Th / s? in Eligius pool I take 0.036 btc / day

I understand the variance of the reward, but for what I have seen of me and many others who have under 2th / s of hashing power is very inconvenient and this is making the p2p pool for a few miners only.

Pool Hashrate: 2222.0 TH/sEstimated Time to Block: 10h 35m  Current Round: 1d  21h 49m


Normal???

Not one share in 36hrs @ 1.1TH's..  .

taking a break

OK, this is bad.  I haven't gotten anything from any of the blocks in the last 24+ hours. And I have no clue why not.

Edit: P2pool reports:

Cliff notes - IMHO if you have the resources to do it, I would recommend it.  It's an easy enough setup and I am now a firm believer that latency really counts for a lot when dealing with P2Pool.  For full explanation, read on...

DOA over there was on average 8-10%, with it recently staying in the low teens for a good amount of time.  Right now I seem to be hovering between 2-4% on average, a marked improvement.  I'm about 36 hours up on my node, and I have 34 shares, 3 dead, 1 orphan, 105.1% efficiency so far.  I've been up as high as 112.4% earlier today, but I've seen no lower than 98%.

I've split my miners into 4 separate groups with separate addresses.  I have 3 groups of 12 S1's, and a group of 2 Terraminers for a total of just around 9.2TH.  This was done for a couple reasons, but mainly to try to keep the hashrates for each "miner" similar so there wouldn't be too much share diff variance.  I believe it's not supposed to matter if it's your own node, but it's working out well so far having it this way.

For earnings, honestly at the moment I'm not sure because the default interface is extremely hard to read, plus I don't have a long enough run with all my mining groups to really have it stable, the payouts are still normalizing.  I "think" my earnings are better so far but I'm having a hard time telling from these graphs.

I have to say the work windpath has done on his interface is phenomenal, it's so much better than the default it's not even funny.  His interface makes all of the information you want to see very well organized and easy to look and tell within seconds of looking at the interface.  If I wasn't seeing such an improvement in the DOA and efficiency numbers, I would go back to mining there just for the interface.

What was your DOA on Coincadence? New to p2pool and trying to work out what a "good" effiency for a node is, I see Coincadence runs about 90%, what does your local node run at?

Can you also let us know what your earnings are like on local node vs your time on Coincadence please, I'm debating setting up my own node, but want to know it's worth the effort first. Thanks!

Yes, I saw it pop on shortly after I posted my message.
