What coin are you trying to mine, and what --network do you have p2pool set up for?
-- Smoov
Bitcoin. I didn't do any --network, running it with no options. When I go to the graphs, they are mostly flatline except the traffic rate and latency graphs show activity. |

Apparently the MtGox queue is over 14,000 now.
are they all sellers? Looking to sell their government funny money for BTC probably. |

But there is definitely some communication going on as well. I ran the wireshark. Unfortunately the connection is not human readable but it seems I did maintain a connection to one host for at least a while. I've gone ahead and just deleted the whole p2pool thing completely and started again with a fresh download. It may also be worth trying on another Windows machine too (though that is not a long term solution)

Someone needs to make a Casascius beanie baby. Then we could end this recession right now! |

You'll know when they ship because difficulty will sharply increase. Then everyone who wants to mine will need one to compete. Or they dont ship and things continue as they do today.
or all the bitcoins will already have been mined. hahahaha, you are funny. Don't say you really think that to be true... I don't know. Other than the lost opportunity cost, I'm a disinterested spectator. As long as there isn't a popcorn shortage, I'm good. |

I wish this was working for me. I'm a big fan of p2p technologies but despite watching messages scroll up my screen for the past few days, I'm still unable to participate. No apparent way to tell if things are healthy or not. I appear to be connected to a number of peers, I have my port forwarded, I'm running the downloaded windows binary, it should be a straight-shot as far as I can see but nope.
Am I really the only one having troubles or are others trying and just walking away? Is anyone driving this thing?
It seems that you are the only one with this specific problem. Since others can't reproduce it, it is harder to debug (and sounds like a configuration error, but you seem to know what to do to configure it properly and it still is not working). Maybe windows firewall? settings If you had a more recent python/twisted version from your linux distribution you could test that too to isolate if it is a windows configuration problem or somewhere else in the network (is your ISP filtering packets?) I can share my experience: p2pool on a raspberry pi (raspbian wheezy), an ubuntu 12.10 laptop, and debian wheezy server all work with no problems with the default configuration. There are > 200 users using p2pool currently, and as far as I can see on the forums you're the first one to report the problem (which is why everyone is asking you to check configurations). I hope you can get it working, perhaps stopping by #p2pool on freenode will get you some real-time feedback as opposed to long delay on forums. EDIT: Actually, could you try installing a more recent linux distribution in a VM on your slackware install? That should be easier than a whole machine upgrade and may show you if it is a windows or network problem. Definitely not Windows Firewall as I have that turned off completely. I do have a couple of other Linux boxes lying around so I can give those a try. Might even be worth seeing about firing it up in a VM I suppose. |

I'm guessing this means it needs a newer version of Python than the 2.5 mentioned in the OP (I'm on 2.5.1)
I upgraded to python 2.7 on the Ubuntu box I'm running p2pool on. It didn't break anything else, if that's what you're worried about. Yeah. Thing is, I'm on Slackware and badly in need of a full OS upgrade (and CPU and hard drive and motherboard and memory come to that  ) so upgrading individual components is a little pointless and probably problematic. No biggie. I just wish I knew what was happening with the one I'm running on Windows. It has been asking for the same share, 34df1a09, for the last couple of hours. |

I don't really have a problem with the delayed payments myself... my problem is that there is no specific code in case of payment delays... so if you're under 1.00 BTC and don't have the hashrate to make more than 1BTC a day, you'll get a single daily payment which will consist of some small percentage of the available wallet. The available wallet gets emptied every hour or two by the people at 60000mhash+.
Yeah, payments should start from low hash rate suckers and pay up towards high hash-rate suckers  and pool should pay every hour if it has available coins. spiccioli I'd even be happy if the payments were just buffered up. Calculate my payment from the insufficient purse every hour then pay me the sum on the 24 or 72 or whatever. |

...I'm getting a lot of messages about being sent transactions which have already been received...
I get this all the time when I first start and it seems like normal operation. Good to know. Is there anything that shows up that indicates it's ready to go? Right now, it still gives me the downloading shares message. I'm mining on another pool until its ready but I'm ready to jump as soon as it's available. Does 0 verified /128 total imply anything? Maybe I should just try running it on Linux. Not sure if I have all the dependencies though... |

Hmm. Just got #2 up then had a power glitch and restarted and now seem to be able to connect every time. Maybe it was me. Strange though.

I'm having trouble connecting with poclbm. It works sometimes so I know it's not me. In fact, I have a miner running connected right now. When I try and start them up, it's hit or miss. At one point, I had all three miners up but seem to be hitting a run of bad luck on getting two of them up. Symptom is, it reports "no response to getwork, using as stratum" (as it should) then "Failed to subscribe".
pings to stratum.bitcoin.cz complete 100%.
Is there something I'm missing?

So things are looking up. I ran wireshark and it looks like I was exchanging some data with at least one host. Then I had to quit the p2pool app and when I started it up just now, I'm getting a lot of messages about being sent transactions which have already been received. On the upside, I'm actually receiving something, I guess. On the downside, it seems that much effort is being duplicated. That may be unavoidable, I don't know.
Either way, looks like I should just leave it running for now.

Well, I appear to be connected to about 7 peers today but it's all time-outs and handshake time-outs. I guess I'll check to make sure my network is OK but I haven't had any issues with anything else. If nothing else, it's probably about time I installed wireshark anyway. 2013-04-04 19:37:08.886000 Outgoing connection to peer x.x.x.x:9333 establi shed. p2pool version: 1100 '11.2-8-g896c9ed' 2013-04-04 19:37:09.216000 Outgoing connection to peer y.y.y.y:9333 establis hed. p2pool version: 1100 'unknown 666f7272657374762d7032706f6f6c2d3935643038386 2' 2013-04-04 19:37:09.794000 P2Pool: 0 shares in chain (0 verified/170 total) Peer s: 6 (0 incoming) 2013-04-04 19:37:09.794000 Local: 0H/s in last 0.0 seconds Local dead on arriva l:  Expected time to share: 2013-04-04 19:37:10.956000 Share request timed out! 2013-04-04 19:37:10.956000 Requesting parent share 052a965f from z.z.z.z:9 333 2013-04-04 19:37:13.502000 Outgoing connection to peer q.q.q.q:9333 establ ished. p2pool version: 1100 '11.2' 2013-04-04 19:37:15.232000 > in handle_share_hashes: 2013-04-04 19:37:15.232000 > Traceback (most recent call last): 2013-04-04 19:37:15.233000 > Failure: twisted.internet.defer.TimeoutError: in Ge nericDeferrer 2013-04-04 19:37:15.261000 Outgoing connection to peer w.w.w.w:9333 establ ished. p2pool version: 1100 '11.2-8-g896c9ed-dirty' 2013-04-04 19:37:15.794000 P2Pool: 0 shares in chain (0 verified/170 total) Peer s: 8 (0 incoming) 2013-04-04 19:37:15.795000 Local: 0H/s in last 0.0 seconds Local dead on arriva l: Expected time to share: |

True. Though that last graph could be considered as two fairly reasonably constant growth rates followed by some craziness over the last couple of weeks. Certainly it seems that the recent accelerated growth may be unhealthy.
Then again, a government did just reach into peoples savings accounts and helped themselves so....

Not a straight line so exceeding exponential growth. It'd be interesting to see what function would fit that. Geometric growth? |
|
|
|
Let's see it in log base-64 !
It would look exactly the same but with different numbers down the side. That's kind-of the point. |

If someone could fix this up nice it would make a great poster. Maybe business cards. Just leave em lying around. |

I wish there was some way to turn this topic into an RSS feed.
How much do you wish? Other, newer versions of this forum software cut down the list of page numbers to something sane. Oh, and just for a warning, another forum I was on with the same started buckling when the pages went past 1000. Just saying... |
