It might be a good idea to patch this before some enterprising person with excess time on their hands (cough) makes a cloned transaction echobot.
Gotta say Enochian gets props for seeing this so far ahead of time. It's almost too bad someone didn't make an echo bot to force the issue 2 years ago, so it'd have been fixed one way or another before bitcoin was so massive. |

I did have a problem the miner seeing mining pools. I tried all the pools I use but I would see them as dead in he miner config... a lot of head scratching later I had to use there IP address instead of the normal pool web address.....
Anyone else had this problem?
Sounds like antminer can't do dns lookups with the dns server you have set. Mine is listed as 192.168.1.1, same as my router. You could also try 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 (these are Google's dns servers). |

Thank you all for this useful thread!
But I found if use p2pool setup by myself the HW error is very high from the output of CGMiner.
I can say I have seen this several times myself, unfortunately not 100% sure the cause of it quite yet and has not happened everytime so have not found the pattern yet. Someone say getting work with 0 diff causes errors but I have no idea if it is HW errors or something else. Try connecting to your node with /.00001+.00001 if you use a scrypt based coin. (/1+1 if a SHA based coin). That will make sure you never get anything below 1 diff. |

Team BITMAIN
If you produce a new PCB then please change the following:DONT!! PLEASE DONT! Print "ANTMINER" on the PCB. German Customs went on http://www.aliexpress.com/ to look for the real price of a antminer. Dont make them easy identifiable I agree with you. Do not write anything on the board. send a disassembled two PCBs blade as exsperimental board and put the bills in a box on the amount of say $ 86.78 it is stupid to pay the tax and Custom more expensive than what antminer costs. in bill can put exsperimental PCB 12v sends jin jong Ltd. unpeid 60 day How about you obey the laws of the country you live in instead of trying to get Bitmain to be an accessory? |

Our nodes are updated to the new p2pool network and are running code to make sure miners on our nodes don't have higher target share difficulties than if you ran p2pool yourself. If you do want to run it yourself, the vtc port of p2pool is currently at https://github.com/donSchoe/p2pool-vtcI also updated RoyalMiningCo's front ends to a more advanced/useful version, with links to the prior version if you preferred that. |

I'm not going back on anything anyways since the product hasn't been sent. It hasn't been fully paid. And I don't fuckin want it.  If it wasn't fully paid within an hour then the order should have auto-cancelled anyway. |
|
|
|
i modify the 'punishing share' crap in my local copy so it doesn't automatically screw people over, but i suspect nobody else does this. What specifically do you change and why? |
|
|
|
So we should not add anything such as +0.000116 to our payout address because you're already calculating it on the pools end?
+DIFF just controls graphing and not payouts anyway. I suggest when you mine with a node running the new code you give it a try for a while first with defaults to see how it works for you. You can use /DIFF to force a specific share difficulty (but it won't go lower than the minimum network share difficulty of course). However smaller miners should mostly be getting minimum difficulty work now automatically. |
|
|
|
so what does this mean for us end users? anything we need to do or just keep p2pool mining as usual?
Just keep mining as usual. It's more a notice for people running p2pool nodes that they need to update to the latest repo to have new networks.py files and a patch related to user vardiff targets. (The patch is optional, the networks.py changes are not.) Some of the bigger pools are going to try and all change over at the same time later today. At that point older nodes will keep working but have a smaller pool hash rate since new or updated nodes are on a separate p2pool network than them. |

Can you sent me incoive please for customs reason
You should be able to print off the web site if you log back into your account. |
|
|
|
I doubt the fact that Bitmain shipped without an invoice - probably the customs trying to verify the price on the documents.
Tell them to check the package and there should be an invoice included.
Also, did you not order an Antminer before?
Tell them it's the same product.
What did you pay last time?
There was no invoice in my box. Just my miner. |

Hi there, question on stats. http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/17PHEZaiJqARt7GkBC8MLRijUDSgAgpH9PAs I post this, my 256 second shares are 11392, but my 22.5 minute (and the longer periods) shares are 7896. I was assuming the longer periods are all shares going back that far, but then the longer periods aren't apparently including the shorter more recent periods? Edit: Ahh sorry. Just saw this "and about 675 seconds for the graphs, longer-timeframe hashrate numbers, and other datas". They update on different frequencies so that explains the confusion. Never mind.  |

2. If I setup a p2p node for myself and mine with it, what is the difference between that and solo mining. Specifically, is there a difference in the amount of coins I will receive?
You should make the same long-term as solo mining. However your variance will be a lot lower because you are sharing the workload with the rest of the p2pool network. Running your own node is kinda like solo mining and kinda like mining at a normal pool. It's actually quite cool and worth it to set up. Try it out. Note the p2pool-vtc distribution was updated today for a fork tomorrow as we correct some settings and improve things. The new fork is already live for people installing new nodes, but the bulk of the speed won't be there until tomorrow when a number of the bigger pools will move at the same time. |

Needs the patch I posted above for the miner_last_difficulties.
@roy7: thanks a lot for the guide, I'll try this asap.
You added average time to find a share for each miner! I love that. I might need to move to your front end instead of the default extended. |
|
|
|
Cool i was waiting for this. With a bit of luck, i might be able to set up a p2pnode for myself now  You can try right now if you want. The new network is actually alive, it's just the bigger pools aren't moving until tomorrow so we can do it mostly at the same time. |

Should I put a sheet of cardboard or something under the miner so the air from the fan will go all the way through it instead of escaping out the bottom before blowing over the back end of the heatsinks?

Cool. Want you to have happy users. |

Note: I do not know if those coins are compatible for merged mining so forgive me if i am trying to mine "apples and and oranges" at the same time!
The only merge minable coin I think that exists for scrypt is Unitedscryptcoin. Coins have to be designed to be merge-compatible. Almost none are since then they don't have much real value of their own. (Namecoin's value comes from the other things it can do.) |

This might be a good idea. I know absolutely nothing about p2pool, yet alone about how to plug an existing pool into p2pool, while still getting payment into a single address owned by the pool and being able to track shares submitted by individual users at the same time. If anyone has any knowledge, I'd appreciate pointing me into the right direction. If not, I'll research it later this evening to see what's possible and how to do it.
I'm guessing you'd need to use it as a proxy, where all work is going through to your normal p2pool node (with payment address set to your pools address) and you were recording shares like normal on the front side of your proxy. I have no idea how multipool does it. If it's of any help code-wise, here is a proxy setup someone wrote to act as a CPPSRB proxy between small miners and p2pool. The pool gets all the fees and then pays out miners based on their scores like any normal pool. http://proxypool.doge.st/ |

You might plug your doge mining into p2pool instead of soloing mining, if you solo mine atm. I think multipool does that on all of their coins actually (uses p2pool networks). This way they can get the lower variance p2pool provides for each coin.
