Time for a reboot/purge/reinstall?

I noticed that somehow 2 p2pool instances were running on my VPS for the past week (I think one of the auto-check scripts flubbed) so I just rebooted the VPS. Though my shares found rate was still ok considering...

VPS?

The luck on BtC has been terrible the last 3 days, I have found zero blocks. Sad

Very bad over the past five days. Nothing for 3 days and the one before that was 2 days (should be one per day on average).

All I am seeing now is this in my P2Pool btcp2pool console.

Would this server cope well for a merged-mining P2Pool node - http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5018/SYS-5018A-FTN4.cfm - It's only Atom CPU based but it has eight cores.  So a core each for each of the five wallets, a core for P2Pool itself, a core for the OS and one spare core left over.

Sorry how do you plan to assign which CPU gets what core?



I know in Windows you can but he probably meant hypothetically
Try it, cpu affinity

He probably would be better off installing ESXi like I have on my IBM System x3400 M3. Smiley

Is there anyway to change the Bitcoin symbol in P2Pool to say "BTC" instead? I see in the Java code on the front-end that it calls currency.clone, but I am not sure where I find it's value?

Thanks,

I think it uses BTC everywhere ... can you provide a screenshot of where it uses the bitcoin symbol?


p2pool.smoothrunnings.ca:9332/



That's specific to the front end your using...modifty the part of the code that uses that font.

Code:
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">
...
    // Places the currency this node is mining in the page header.  If it's
    // Bitcoin, use the fontawesome BTC icon.

    var set_currency_symbol= true;
    $(document).on('update_currency', function(e, eventInfo) {
      if(currency_info.symbol === 'BTC') {
        // use fontawesome BTC symbol
        currency= $('<i/>').attr('class', 'fa fa-btc fa-fw');
      }
      else { currency= $('<span/>').append(currency_info.symbol); }

      if(set_currency_symbol) {
        $('#currency')
          .append('(').append(currency).append(')');
        set_currency_symbol= false;
      }
    });

When I open this file in kwrite I don't see the code you have posted. And I can't seem to find a true CSS editor for Linux. Sad

I have a fee specified that should take -f 0.5 specified



Okay that's fine. So your p2pool is taking 0.5% of the shares. The payout doesn't work the same way as public pools do that take their percentage based on the bitcoins you have mined. So in the end, a month down the road, you will see sometimes the miners get more than you and other times you get more then them, in the end it balances out.

Thanks,

It's JavaScript not Java. And why don't you just replace the header insert span with "BTC" hard coded?

Because I might want to setup another server using a different alt-coin and don't want to have to go and modify the code.

Is there some sort of switch or conf or py file that I need to change in order to have P2Pool pay workers that connect with their wallet addresses? The default behavior seems to be that all mined coins comes to the wallet that I installed (bitcoind) for P2Pool.

If this is the case, I need to figure out how much coin should go to each address, then send. However from reading all the installation guides, it seems like this is supported to figure out for you. I've looked through Forests p2pool site, several threads here, and I've even looked through the code.

If you have any suggestions, or other posts for me to look at, please help.

send me your btc wallet address too, I'll shoot you a beer!

Thanks in Advance

Sounds like you might not have P2Pool setup right. It doesn't sent the payouts at all to the servers wallet unless you enact it by using the -fee which is based on shares not actual Bitcoins earned.

Off topic.

I have just been robbed , just about all my Coins in my QT wallet have gone.

Status: 312 confirmations
Date: 16/02/2014 03:43

Question how can this Happen if my Wallet is Encrypted , With a very long password.

Obviously the password wasn't strong enough. You should be using one of the 63 character ascii passwords from grc.com/password, the nice thing is these passwords never get regenerated no matter how times you refresh Steve Gibson's website. Smiley

What do you expect to get out of a dual Gbit connection when your internet is only 75/35Mbit/s? Your internet isn't anywhere near 1GbE so there no gain in what have have done. Smiley

The dual Link Aggregated Connection has nothing to do with my WAN bandwidth. It was to solve the following performance issues I was having:

1. Connection Starvation: My MacPro serves up multiple services on my LAN with p2pool, Bitcoin node, Namecoin Node, Stratum Proxy for Scrypt Mining, individual miners connecting to it, Apache reverse proxy and gateway to outside access of my network, Media serving (large HD video and FLAC music), etc. Even maxing out custom TCP/IP settings for connections didn't fully solve the contention and queuing I was seeing. LAG solved all of it.

2. Round Robin / Load Balancing across ethernet connections: I'm now able to support the above service connections AND transcode video to my SAN box with no/little constraints.  Previously whenever I transcoded video, it ground everything else to a halt, which put a damper on my p2pool mining node.  And I do transcode video often. No more issues.

3. Internal LAN QoS is much easier with more connections available. I can manage my LAN latency-defeating rules for certain traffic in a more flexible way now that I have more paths available to my main Mac Pro server. I can set priorities for various connections across my LAN and not have to worry about the traffic jam that I used to get to my Mac's IP.

Link Aggregation is almost never about pure bandwidth.  It's about freeing up queues and load balancing socket contention so you can support more parallel services on a single server, especially ones that are latency adverse.

I'd still like to see someone else answer my original questions above regarding dbcache setting.  Undecided

Thanks for the clarification, and good luck with that, but teaming as it's called shouldn't be required for you are doing if you have the right setup.

Hi
Selling miner 520 GH / s 1000 W
Unit Price 8.6 BTC, in the presence of 216 pieces.
All devices are in working order.
The device independent. Delivery cost is included in the price.

Too much for 520GH/s. For about $4k CAD I can buy 500GH/s, and that's on the "I want it now" market! LOL

417  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: A guide for mining efficiently on P2Pool, includes FUD repellent and FAQ on: February 15, 2014, 12:26:25 PM
Hi. Would like to ask about latency
Why going below 0.2s will hurt your income and everyone else's on P2Pool. ?
What is the reason of that?

It doesn't.

It does because lowering the getblocktemplate latency is a tradeoff.
As explained in the guide with current bitcoind version reducing this latency is done by reducing the number of transactions you include in the template. Doing so you reduce the fees included in the blocks you find : you reduce your own income and everyone else's when this happens.

Today this latency has only a negative effect when a new block is found by the whole network (every ~10 minutes) unless you have a very weak CPU (where CPU usage by bitcoind can slow down P2Pool).
This is the same effect for P2Pool and every other pool : until a getblocktemplate returns a result after a new block, the pool can only work on an empty template (no transaction). Going below 0.2s only tries to reduce this 0.2/600 = 0.03% negative impact on the fees income (the block reward isn't impacted) : including more transactions (which amounts to ~1% of the average block value) simply brings more income to everyone including yourself.

Continuing the discussion about the getBlockTemplate latency...

I see quite a few public nodes have getBlockTemplate latencies approaching that magic 0.2 mark... but I've always struggled.

My p2pool node used to be in the 1.5 to 2.0 range until about a month ago when I tweaked it further per your guide and other suggestions on the net.  That brought it down to the 0.5 to 0.7 range while trying to retain a high blockmaxsize for greater income.
Lately (or it seems right when the whole Bitcoin DDOS started happening in the last week), my latencies have bumped back up to the 1.0 range with occasional spikes much higher.  So let's discount that bump up for now.

My real question is the efficacy of the dbcache and datadir settings.  I've upped my dbcache from the default 25 to 1000.  I have quite a bit of free memory to use, but not quite enough to host the entire Blockchain on a ramdrive, so datadir is probably out.  Will I see any gains on getBlockTemplate Latency from upping dbcache further to lets say 2000, 3000, or even 5000 megabytes?

The Blockchain (as well as the OS and Apps) are all on an SSD already, running OSX Mavericks and using the Bitcoin-QT OMG10 0.8.5 client (waiting for the official 0.9 client to be out before I upgrade since OMG10 already has most of what went into 0.8.6 and I can't find a binary download for the Mac version of the 0.9 preview release) with wallet disabled.

Connection is over Verizon FiOS 75/35 and the Mac Pro is connected to my managed switch with dual gigabit ethernet with Link Aggregation.

Here's my bitcoin.conf (with certain parameters redacted of course):
Code:
rpcuser=XXXXREDACTEDXXXX
rpcpassword=XXXXREDACTEDXXXX
server=1
rpcport=8332
disablewallet=1
dbcache=1000
maxconnections=26
blockmaxsize=1000000
mintxfee=0.00001
minrelaytxfee=0.00001
addnode=67.186.224.85
addnode=88.198.58.172

hi everybody Grin!  is there other way or solution you encounter on how ice fury work with bfgminer under windows 7 professional 64bit. i tried everything in the forums and other site yet still no luck. every time i install the bf1 or drivers theres always an error, it took me over night just to make this work, then here is zidag installer that recognized it Nano Fury NF1 v0.7, well better than nothing i use cgminer v3.12.0 that gives an average 1.8gh/s. i still want to make it work with bfgminer please share some experience thank you. Wink

Follow these steps:

1. plug the power into your hub.
2. plug the usb cable from your hub into your computer and let Windows detect it.
3. plug each miner into the hub one at a time letting windows detect each one and install the HID driver for it (This is a Windows 7/8.x driver)
4. start your bfgminer with the command found in this forum and start mining away.

One thing to note you need a good decent power supply with your hub, a if you are using a USB 10 port 2.0 hub I found that a 4A (amp) power supply will drive 5 ice fury's comfortably OC'd at 54, anything less than 4A (amps) for 5 ice fury's will result in either them not being recognized or you have them constantly failing.
