You were not "losing day by day." What you had was the normal random fluctuations (and not even that much fluctuation). From the 14th to the 16th your earnings went up, then from the 16th to the 18th they went down. Overall you probably got about what you were supposed to. If you stick with it your earnings will continue to go up and down a little, and again you will get about what you are supposed to (which is more than other pools since you won't pay pool fees, and won't ever suffer losses from a pool being dishonest or getting hacked). p2pool earnings with 120gh - its easy to notice that I was loosing day by day - little but still loosing

So..
Yeah well, i like p2pool - but my 120gh isnt enough. Waiting for more power to be able to be back. Bitcoin mining isn't just about the number of hashes you can get out of your gear, it's also based on luck. There are still some people to this day who have been lucky enough to get more bitcoins than what they would normally get if the mined and that doesn't matter if you are mining at 335MH/s or 3TH/s. |

100 Gh isnt enough to be mining on a p2pool
Sigh, this same myth keeps getting repeated over and over again. 100 GH (or really any GH) is just fine with p2pool, as long as you realize that your normal $23/day mining revenue will fluctuate from day to day, not get paid every single day like clockwork. Over the course of a few weeks you will get close to what you expect. It just requires a bit of patience. The only real downside is that it takes some resources (computer, bandwidth, time) to run a p2pool node and maybe it isn't worth it for a $23/day operation. I am not sure where you get 23$ a day from? I think my P2Pool costs me less than that a day, the computer I am using is fan-less and only uses at the most 3watts of power. Since I pay for my internet already the cost of internet is really marginal. |

Looking at the graphs page on my P2Pool site I have some questions. I set one of my avy's to a different wallet ID. The avy does 106~107GH/s, I see the hashing graph which has -mean 106GH/s. The other bar graph below it that I guess is for the BTC's (it show's BTCs on my main wallet ID) is completely blank, there isn't even the slightest blue line. I wonder if this is a fault in the data making not appear normally or if it's something else? If you want to see what I mean have a look at my page. You can see the main wallet which shows the data under its hashing data, but the second one shows nothing under its hashing data. Thanks http://p2pool.smoothrunnings.ca:9332/ 100 Gh isnt enough to be mining on a p2pool, you wil get 0-2 shares a day, 500Gh is the reasonable minimium to be able to get ~10 shares a day, it can be several days witout a share on a 100Gh. If you start up with a 100Gh, you wont be able to get the best out of your p2pool node - theres alot settings you can tune - but not without shares. Theres also that - when you have good luck and p2pool have bad luck, and when p2pool have good luck and you have bad situation, not to mention that if you get your only share just when a block is found -> its orphan then  Share difficulty is skyhigh, If you want to make coins with 100gh theres other pools that pay for every share + you get namecoins aswell for your efforts  If its 0.03 you get from a normal pool / day with 100Gh, let me say one day without a share on a p2pool 6 blocks found, next day 1 orphan 1 good -blocks found 2, third day 3 shares no blocks. On a normal pool its 0.09 on p2pool its ~0.01, is 100Gh enough? If the third day end up with 5 blocks it could be ~ 0.04- 0.07 for those three days. Just as your name account status points out, you are a "newbie", you don't know what your talking about. When you have some RL experience come back and lets talk. |

Does this happens to everyone? I go the P2Pool running for Bitcoin merged mining and Litecoin scrypt mining. Then I can't get online. Because it is pulling so much bandwidth? I then turn off the P2Pools and then my internet is super fast again.  Yes. It happens to me. I don't know why though, because it's not pulling that much bandwidth. It's not the bandwidth, it's your router not handling all the tracked nats So what is the best way to do it? So that my network can handle it? Put it on a virtual machine and dmz that machine or upgrade your router Which router should I get? N66u is amazing. Or use a small public p2pool Are you talking about Asus RT-N66U - 900Mbps Dual Band Wireless N Router, Gigabit LAN/WAN, 2x USB, Print FTP UPnP VPN Server, IPv6, 8x SSID, Wireless 3D HD content streaming? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-RT-N66U-Wireless-streaming-Warranty/dp/B007W16SMOThis is actually better. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11995/I stop buying Cisco, because they are working for the NSA.  Asus is better they are Taiwan, and they will not work with the NSA. It's not just Cisco that is affected it everyone else too, and Cisco also doesn't manufacture its hardware in the United States, it's all outsourced to China and other countries. Also remember there are 3 sides to every story. |

Hi everyone, I just have a question whether these latest issues may have affected payouts at all or if I just didn't p2pool long enough? I managed to set up p2pool and bitcoin-qt server node on my local pc and it all connected and synchronized, but I couldn't connect to it with my miner, so after enough head-scratching I needed to get hashing again and tried a couple of public nodes and mined for approx 40hrs at around 180GH/s, mostly at http://196.2.147.115:9332 [16dAGWVSbxT3Zek84FuUMQGccfdyih8KrK] (that node eventually gave out) and http://78.27.191.182:8349 [1Ky5rbwSGVXvBQuqa7d7d49TnVmcM5Kaq2] among others, but I've received no payment at all and I'm sure at least one block was found during that time. I did jump around a bit while looking for the closest node with the lowest latency and shortest ping so that could have affected things. Does anyone know why I received nothing at all for the time I spent? Was I just not on long enough? Thanks for any clarification in advance! 1. if you have setup P2Pool using the defaults port 9332 is used for Bitcoin mining. 2. you have to be vigilant as there will be days where you see no payouts and other days were you see a lot of payouts; what I saying is P2Pool payout system doesn't work the same way as these fee based systems do. 3. make sure you open port 9333 on your firewall/router to your P2Pool server. 4. If your miners are on the same network as your server, use your internal address. Most firewall/routers don't permit you to go outside only to route back through. P.S. my understanding is that payouts to the default address would be payouts to the bitcoind wallet running on the server node, so it would be a pool fee on a public node or it would payout to your local wallet if it was your own installation. The fee is share based not fee based you see on major pools. The way it currently works if you don't have the --fee or -f option enabled the wallet ID you use on your miners is were the payment goes to. When you have --fee or -f enabled the %50 of the shares which I am guess is figured out in bitcoin shows up in your Pool's wallet. the --give-author is for giving the developer of P2Pool a certain percentage of your mining. |

If your miners are on the same network as your server, use your internal address. Most firewall/routers don't permit you to go outside only to route back through. Thanks for the reply I had p2pool and bitcoin-qt set up on my pc which would be 192.168.1.3 and my miner on 192.168.1.99 and my router with the default gateway to 192.168.1.1. I can access my miner from my pc through the network, but the miner doesn't seem to be able to 'see' my PC (I tried a ping from within the user interface). I'm not sure if it's firewall issues or something like that I'll have to look a little deeper. I forwarded port 9332 on my router but that didn't make a difference and I saw in the tutorial that it was optional so didn't think it was too important. I just found it a little disheartening as I'd done most of the 40hrs on public nodes and didn't get a single satoshi... I would have liked to know if it was working just a little, but I guess I chose a bad 2 days  I'm going to give it another go after the weekend once I get some new hardware as I'll at least have one miner hashing while I test with another. P.S. my understanding is that payouts to the default address would be payouts to the bitcoind wallet running on the server node, so it would be a pool fee on a public node or it would payout to your local wallet if it was your own installation. If your miner can't see your PC then go into the firewall on your PC and or the AV firewall if you have one installed and either disable them both or add ports 9332 and 9333 to it. I have 280 ~ 290 GH/s on my pool. I started one of my avy's on a my friends Wallet ID because he wants to run it at his place; I have setup --fee at 50%; and my one avy 107GH/s has yet to show any BTC's. |

It's not the bandwidth, it's your router not handling all the tracked nats So what is the best way to do it? So that my network can handle it? Enable jumbo frames, but your switch will need to be able to support jumbo frames so you may need to go out and by an enterprise managed switch. Could you suggest a brand and model? I am using this Netgear switch right now, it doesn't see like netgear makes it anymore but you might find someone who is selling one in your area or on ebay. Locally here in where I live in Canada they sell for about $310 CAD. I have also replaced all my cables with CAT6 ones. My router is a Cisco small business 180 (r or v 180 I think), it's the non-wifi version of the 180. It supports jumbo frames. I also have my P2Pool server (which runs on openSUSE) MTU set to 9k. The second thing to keep in mind is that enterprise switches have a much better forwarding rate than mickey mouse ones do, so they can forward high volumes of traffic better. Another switch to look at is the Dell 6224, I have seen them selling off lease for $400 around here where I live. They are pretty decent and I think Dell was providing a life-time warranty on them; to compete with HP who provides life time warranties on all their switching products. |

What's the current payouts to default address reflect? Is that the pool's bitcoin address or the miners?
Also when does the "local rate reflected in shares" and peers graphs update?
Thanks

All that is required is usb 3.0 and osc bit 55 to max them.
I'll be honest, I'm half afraid to overclock them... they're running at/above 3GH/s each, with an HW Error % BELOW 1%... I think I'll um... just not even bother with overclocking  great job man! Wow that's great, you must be storing them in a freezer so that they don't melt! Not really, a USB port is only speced to supply 2.5w I have mind already doing that but find the PSU gets pretty hot at 54, so I am going to see if I find one of these 5v 10A PSU's locally to use on my hub before pushing them up any further. |

I think -f 50 is for the Windows version of P2Pool. I am running the Linux version.
It's the same on both. You can also use --fee 50. Thanks Krak! I do have one more question for you, do I need to remove the --give-author 0 command from the startup in order for the --fee 50 to work? Thanks That's the donation amount to forrestv. Totally separate from the fee to you. You really should put something more than 0 to be fair actually. Just like the fee parameter though, it's in percent so --give-author 0.25 is 0.25% donated. That makes sense. Sorry I am was going off the complete guide to setup P2Pool on Ubuntu that someone posted here. He never really explained it as you did what the --give-author was for. |

Sorry I am still new to the p2pool, what do you mean set your fee? I am guessing I have remove the --give-author 0 from the startup command?
Thanks,
I don't use p2pool but from my google search it looks like "-f 50" will do what you want. It will assign 50% of the shares that come in to you, instead of the miner. (Not 50% of the amount paid, so it'll average out the same over time but may not work exactly as you expect short term.) I think -f 50 is for the Windows version of P2Pool. I am running the Linux version. |

How do I setup fees on every payment with P2Pool?
I am asking because I am going to loan one of my miners to a friend who will be running on my pool. He's agreed on a 50/50 split. Since he and I are the only ones using this pool I don't have to about anything.
You not set it. Payment is directly from block. You can only set fee - how many % shares are count to node owner. So if I want to set the fee so that 50% of the shares come back to my node how would I do that? you set fee to 50, magic! i bet you didnt expect that... Sorry I am still new to the p2pool, what do you mean set your fee? I am guessing I have remove the --give-author 0 from the startup command? Thanks, |
