I have multiple miners mining at one p2pool server. Each miner has it's own bitcoin address.
How is the payout split to each bitcoin address?
Does each miner need to find blocks added to the share chain or is the payout split to the addresses based on work submitted to my p2pool server?
Thanks
Each miner has its own address? I thought addresses were at P2Pool level, not miner level, so all those miners will only contribute to the single P2Pool instance getting paid to its address? |

Just pounded at the keyboard with fists. Please check and improve if you can before I send this out. Thanks! Hi, me again.
The reason I was asking is because, although I am a part of the fandom that will be sponsoring and raising money for you at AnthroCon this summer (though I am not affiliated with AnthroCon), I am also a part of a charity fundraising group that is trying to spread knowledge of an alternative payment system.
Our group is called Bitcoin100. We are a group of 100(+) volunteers, who are simply fans of this currency/payment system, and believe that everyone would benefit from its adoption. Especially charities and others that want to be able to accept donations or payments, instantly, from around the world, without having to pay the high fees charged by PayPal or VISA/MasterCard. The premise of our group is that we have 100 people pledging to make a donation of at least 1 Bitcoin each (so currently between $400 and $600 total), if a charity is willing to add a "Donate by Bitcoin" option to their site. We will provide all the help in setting this up, and will gladly help with any issues down the road.
You will benefit from receiving a large donation right away, and from adding another free* way to accept donations from around the world (receiving Bitcoin does not cost anything, but converting it into another currency may have very small currency exchange costs. We are also in no way affiliated with currency exchange sites). This option may be as easy as simply adding some text to your donation page.
We hope to benefit by spreading awareness of the benefits of Bitcoin, with the hope that as more people see it used by various charities, the more its use will be accepted by others.
Coincidentally, the furry fandom can greatly benefit from Bitcoin as well, since it allows for free online micropayments for things like buying or trading artwork. It is my hope that having you show that you accept Bitcoin at the convention will help increase awareness among our community as well.
Please let me know whom to contact in your organization to pursue this further.
Thank you very much!

The only way to fully secure something like this is to use two keys to sign transactions, and have every card swipe verified and confirmed by phone. But if you are carrying a phone with a Bitcoin app anyway, might as well just use that by itself.
Making Bitcoin work with just a plastic card may be impossible.

On the other hand, converting lasts to Bitcoin is just a software change, while paintball tanks is a rather expensive capital investment. Puts the Bitcoin laser tag can be advertised as a secretive underground gambling thing, despite it not actually being that, really.
Oh, also, if the score is tracked in actual Bitcoin, your final payout could be a permanent blockchain record of your ass kickery. Add the ability for people to provide their own public address, and you have global score tracking

Build it with distributed P2Pool mining built in?

If the set up involves just buying tokens to use at the place, it would be much simpler just to use your own centralized digital tokens of your own server, that you exchange for Bitcoin or fiat. The Bitcoin idea would mainly be useful if people came in and wanted to set up their own wages, paying their own choice of entry fees. That way the laser tag place can claim they have nothing to do with any gambling or whatever. They just provide the guns and the software.

My idea begins at laser-tag and ends at Chuck E' Cheese.
Playing laser tag against robots that look like anthropomorphic animals, who once in a while stop to play a round of bluegrass or some funky rock, sounds, um, interesting. |

Not sure if this has been covered but I have found that using cgminer the optimal settings (at least for 5970s) on p2pool differs from normal pools.
Regular Pool
queue: 2
threads per GPU: 2
intensity: 9
P2pool
queue: 1
threads per GPU: 1
intensity: 8
This seems to have cut my stales and orphans significantly. Anyone else experience the same?
I think cgminer using deep queue and multiple threads conflicts with the ultra short LP time used by p2pool.
Thoughts?
On my 5830, lowering my intensity from 9 to 8 alone dropped my rejects from 9% to 0  |

I still believe there is little use in trying to convince people up high to buy into Bitcoins and just let them be with their ignorance and/or FUD and instead just come to an understanding that it's us who are in charge.
+1 Sometimes it feels like trying to convince the CEO of Kodak that digital cameras are the future, and should be adopted as a replacement of their film industry, 10 years ago. |

Meh. He lost me at "being founder of PayPal," and not that I learned he's a Log Cabin Republican, I just plain dislike him. there's a HUGE difference between Republicans and Libertarians, and Log Cabin guys are just some sort of weird hypocrisy. I don't know why he would even bother with the former if he calls himself the later. So, him not knowing about Bitcoin is "eh, whatever." If Bitcoin takes down PayPal before he realizes what happened, it'll be a good thing.

I really really like this idea! Sadly, I don't expect anything like that to exist for at least a few years, since you would need both Laser Tag places, and a large mass of local nerds, to know about Bitcoin, and it's still too unknown at this point (still early adopter stage ) |

I want to know how many copies there will be so I have an idea how valuable my mint condition first-run first issue will be 10 years from now Probably WAY less than the ~1BTC you paid for it (I pre-ordered one too btw) |

Updated my bookkeeping sheet to make it a bit easier to read and track, and to add a list column of how much everyone pledged per charity. Dow below is a list of transactions that don't seem to belong to anyone. If you recognize your address and wish to clam it, please do. I also highlighted some cells that Phinnaeus needs to check in yellow. The file is located here http://goo.gl/Mk3hpI will contact the charity I mentioned tomorrow, since today was a holiday. Most likely I will write up a letter and post it for review here, first. |

Cgminer default settings are --worksize 128 and --vectors 2 so you get those free of charge  You might want to see what --worksize 64 or --worksize 256 does for your hash rate. The stale rate of p2pool isn't comparable to other pools as p2pool uses a much higher difficulty for its shares... Due to high value or each high-difficulty share, I recommend you use --submit-stale when mining on p2pool. This will make cgminer submit every share it finds, even if it thinks it is already stale. This won't make a huge difference but might net you an additional share every now and then. Intensity is a fine tuning parameter and its optimal value is dependent on the card's hash rate.Intensity influences the size of each uninterruptible batch of calculations the GPU performs - high intensity batches of work are larger, thus taking longer to finish. This results in occasional situations where the GPU takes a couple of seconds too long and produces a valid but already stale result wasting the computation time. Try lowering your intensity to 8 - if the hash rate doesn't budge you made the right call and your card didn't benefit from the higher intensity. My general observations have been that best results are achieved (using the default two threads per gpu): + with <200MHash/s cards: intensity 7 + [200..400] MHash/s : intensity 8 + >400 MHash.s : intensity 9 Intensities beyond 9 are meant only for the new 7xxx family of cards and won't do any good when used with the old, slower cards. Lowered intensity to I 8, and got same hash rate, so thanks for the tip. Worksize 64 for some reason made my rejection rate go up. No change between 128 and 256. So I just left that setting out and am using defalut. I know others have been able to get much higher than 266Mhas/s rates, but sadly if I increase the card's Mh/s, my system becomes unstable. I am guessing it's because I am mining on Windows, and on my main machine that's also doing some other things |

The file .bin I had was poclbm120214Cypressbitalignv2w128long4.bin. I moved it, copied your file, and ran it again. It just created another poclbm120214Cypressbitalignv2w128long4.bin file. I don't think I'm using phatk to mine here :/ Just tried with the -k phatk option. It seems to be fluctuating between the old 266 and 240MHash for a while... now stabilized at 266 again. Weird. Guess I'm not having problems with either one. |

... Overclocked to 950 Mhz, memory underclocked to 300 Mhz, intensity at 9. Used to average 270 Mhash, and still do ...
Rassah, 270 MHash/s seems a tad low. May I ask what work size and vector width you are using? Are you running the default 2 threads per GPU? Another fine-tuning suggestion: a 270 MHash/s card might be better off with intensity 8, the stale rate should drop a bit provided your pool server is fast enough. Right now, I'm at 0,21% stales at Bitminter which is rather high - usually my stale rate is about 0,1%. Just wiped the old cgminer directory, and installed 2.2.7 binaries. I'm on Windows, so I don't even know where the .bin would be. Still no change; mining at the same speed. My 5830's are actually getting exactly 266Mhash/s each (I have two of them). The only cgminer parameters I'm using are: -I 9 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-950 --gpu-memclock 300 so I'm not specifying any work sizes or vectors (unless I 9 is work size). I'm mining to P2Pool, and my local stale rate is ~8.6% The only way I know of making it hash faster is by increasing the Mhz to above 950, but at that point my system gets really unstable, and sometimes either locks up or bluescreens :/ |

Sapphire 5830 here, using newest drivers. Cgminer works exactly the same as it did on the old driver, hash speed and all (besides the BIG WARNING suggesting I use a previous driver when you start it, anyway)
Interesting. You're finding 5830 as fast on the new SDK as the old one? What clock speeds and what hashrate? Thanks. Just downloaded and installed newest driver, and downloaded and ran newest cgminer. No compiling, since I'm on Windows. Overclocked to 950 Mhz, memory underclocked to 300 Mhz, intensity at 9. Used to average 270 Mhash, and still do. I don't know what kind of bad issues I was supposed to experience, but just letting you know there aren't any issues with mine. Did you delete the .bin inside cgminer's folder? I opened the compressed downloaded file, and copies all the contents into my old cgminer directory, overwriting all files. If the .bin file is part of the download, the yes. If it wasn't, then no. I don't know for sure  |

Notices about DHT.
DHT is a Distributed Hash Table. I.e. HASH=VALUE
Bitcoin chain is a hash table, i.e. HASH=VALUE.
I have no reasons to doubt putting full block chain in DHT, leaving metadata (headers) on client. Need to find good implementation first.
You're not the only one I heard this idea from btw. I hope you succeed |
