Keep in mind orphan rate on p2pool is regarding the share chain and as long as your orphan rate is the same as the network orphan rate, it has no effect on your actual income.

Best looking pool I've seen. Love the layout, design, colors, everything.  |

I have to admit, that Bitparking pool have much better look, despite it's simplicity. Do you really need to keep info about security flaw and TRC loss back from 2013? And instructions how to connect, before anything else on website?  Regards Lenny I also have to admit I hadn't been to bitparking in a long time, the current page is very clean and clear. It used to be more like a wall of text like mine, lol. |

Exactly, that's the only realistic long term solution.
Each node holds random parts of the blockchain, but all nodes together will have redundancy
Interesting, I should read up on that. Kinda sounds like torrent, except you don't end up downloading the whole thing. |

You can lower your share difficulty by appending /diff to your p2pool username. That should generate more shares and more regular payouts, but of course you get paid less per share. I'm trying VTCPayoutAddress+0.001465/0.55 at the moment. I can tell tomorrow, if this makes things better or worse... address/diff won't let you set diff below the minimum share diff for the pool though. It's intended more to raise diff for giant miners than to lower diff, I thought? |

I don't know the right terminology to use, but I believe the next major version of bitcoin has something to reduce the amount of data needed to be stored.

+1 for the corsair 1200s, they handle 3 Ants nicely. I'm partly responsible for them selling out at Fry's as we bought 40+ of them now between all our group buys.
Are you just using the PCI-e for power? I picked one up today to run 2 ants if I can do 3 bonus! Looked them up, they have 6 PCI-E power connectors apparently. |

Sadly when we did the first vertcoin nodes, we used spread=3 because we just copied litecoin. It really should have been 12-15... would avoid so much confusion for small miners right now. Doh.

With hash that low you'd be better off using a normal pool that will credit you for each small share you find. With p2pool you need to find higher difficulty shares and at your speeds, that might take a really long time. Even miners with 2-3 GPUs sometimes find the variance of p2pool too much to stomach. If you are CPU mining you might go weeks without a single share.

Fantastic post TVB. Only item you didn't list was SPREAD which I believe is the # of blocks worth of work to pay out, ie the PPLNS window size (N being SPREAD # of blocks of work).
I will soon follow up with details about the /networks.py file which is not coin specific but p2pool specific and thus different from /bitcoin/networks.py! /networks.py contains the SPREAD value etc. Ah ok, right. Two different files with different purposes and exactly the same name. One really should be coins.py. |

I'm using Cryptsy and Coinex. Both seem to tolerate deposits from pools even though they warn against it.
I'll look into the block stats later on - my current pool's front end is down at the moment.
Another concern is if your mining payments are too small it will accumulate dust in the exchange's wallet and increase the network fee to send payments. |

Does adding nodes with -n get added on top of the max connections out? The wiki made me think that, but I added 4 and Out is still sitting at 6.
Also, if/when a hard fork happens for a new major p2pool version, would a larger SPREAD make sense? That would reduce variance for smaller miners. Larger miners can just kick difficulty up higher with address/ if they don't want (possibly) more frequent payments.

Hi,
So with this S1....we still need to do the paperclip thingy?
Have to do it with any power supply that won't power up without a motherboard. |

why are payments on p2p so sporadic? i can't stay on the payout list for longer than a few blocks. i am getting around 600Kh/s total with 6870 and 290x.
Looking at graphs on my p2pools, you should expect to find shares about every 6 hours. The shares are only good for about 3 blocks (at least, that's the target in the config files). You should find that your average total earnings will be what they are supposed to be for your hash rate. It's the nature of how p2pool works that you'll get a few big payments a day instead of a lot of small payments, for your current hash power. |

Wonder why a 400TH group wouldn't just run p2pool.
