Just had a smooooth transaction. Boughts keys and ref. with BTC. He quickly sent after getting payment. +Rep!

When will you be in group chat next? I'm looking to make a purchase of keys/ref.  |

While I was napping, my internal network failed. That essentially killed pretty much everything including the boxes that keep p2pool.info fed with up-to-date data. so the last block didn't appear until I rebooted the machine and there is a small gap in stats. It's running normally again, now.
Sorry.
Holy... I had no idea p2pool.info was your baby...! Great resource and it's greatly appreciated on my end! |

I agree with Sharky. I'll just be manually setting affinity because I'm on 2.5 and 11.6 which for my 5870 and 3x 5830's is what I've found to work best. Thanks for the advice, fellas! |

Just wanted to mention that I looked into the bitcoind responding issue and when I opened taskmanager, I was confused to find cpu usage at 100%... My miner was consuming almost all of the cpu resouces and left little to none for p2pool.exe and bitcoind.exe. I dropped the affinity of cgminer from 2 to 1 core (no penalty on hashing speed as far as I can see) and haven't seen an issue with the local speeds reported by p2pool or the failure to communicate issue. So my advice for anyone seeing bitcoind communication errors or a lower than expected local hash rate reported by p2pool, check your affinities in taskmanager and allocate a few more resources to bitcoind and p2pool. |

Will do. I had a power outage last night which presented the perfect time to get everything updated. P2pool is showing a much better local speed now. I was on CGmine 2.2.1 and got bitcoind 5.3.1 running today so it appears to like that a little better.

Has anyone had issues with bitcoin timeouts? I have tried 6.0 RC2 and 5.3.1 and have had some pretty common timeout issues where the P2pool.exe windows says that it lost connection bitcoin for x.x minutes. I am running the bitcoind version and not -qt so that is all setup and I've not had issues like this in the past. I've also been using Cgminer for my miner. According to that, my local hash rate is 1300+. Though on p2pool.info and in the p2pool window, it reports my local as 1150 or so. Is there anyway that I could actually get my true hashrate to reflect in my mining efforts? I'd rather not lose more than 10% of my hashing power.

Been seeing a steady climb in pool hash rate lately. Good stuff guys, keep it up!

Beware of fakes. Not saying these are, but warning potential buyers. If these are from buying AMD graphics cards, then you might be required to present a picture or scanned image of the actual code on the packaging to verify. A while ago, quite a few fakes of these codes were made so AMD has been cracking down.
Again though, I don't know about these (and the buyer could still be trustworthy, he might have gotten duped too). Good luck selling.

Not a problem. |

Interested in the pokemon cards. Send me a PM with your holdings. |

I like this idea, along with the other servers, but if anyone can point their miner at this node, then they can run their own node and the fee is still... 0%.

Okay thanks. I'll get in touch on steam sometime soon.

Do you accept paypal? I'll be at my dad's house tomorrow and so I won't have access to my wallet (wallet is on my main computer at home). I would like to get it done during the day though, so I could do PP during the day.

Any BTC we make from donations doesn't get added to the [mined] payments, right? I haven't gotten any part of a donation in a while.  |

Bad idea unlocking core imo
Why would that be a bad idea? From my experience with unlocking Amd chips, it either works and it's 100% stable, or it doesn't load into Windows/Linux/Whatever-the-hell. So there is no possible damage to be done by trying to unlock. My miner runs on a Gigabyte UD5P with a 555 unlocked to 4x and it works just fine. |

Hello Wachtwoord, I was using the one day window as an example, I've been observing this for over a week now, restarting p2pool and sometimes bitcoind when it zombies out. I should have mentioned that bit before, I've got bitcoind 0.6rc2 running on a separate machine where it has enough ram and disk yet a slower processor. I have observed p2pool reporting that bitcoind is not responding for some number of minutes and I have to kill -9 bitcoind and restart. This happens some of the time and often self-corrects (i.e. p2pool eventually reconnects with bitcoind).
P2Pool's wiki page has some suggestions for increasing your efficiency: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool#Frequently_Asked_QuestionsEDIT: Any idea what's going wrong with bitcoind? If bitcoind is dead and you continue to mine, you'll get orphans because your shares aren't up-to-date (any block solutions would be invalid). I think I know what's going on here. The "server" I'm running bitcoind on is an older AMD Geode running at 500MHz at a whopping 996 bogomips and 1GB of memory. I thought that would be enough, but it appears it's not. I just checked on the p2pool server (a miner doing double duty) and saw in the logs: 2012-03-03 01:27:15.510957 > Failure: twisted.internet.defer.TimeoutError: Getting http://192.168.1.105:8332/ took longer than 5 seconds. so how pervasive is this timeout? user@btc2:~$ grep "took longer" p2pool/data/bitcoin/log |wc 9067 108804 1251239 user@btc2:~$ over 9K since last Saturday, clearly that's sub-optimal, so I need to find a different system to host bitcoind. It's over nine-thousand!!! With that out of the way, I got my mining rig updated to 0.6.0 rc2. To anyone having issues with the installer, the fix is simple, use the .zip. I like to personally overwrite files anyway. Just about anything can go wrong when the installer overwrites (and that is painfully obvious in this case). |

Bit of an unlucky day today, boys. I thought we were starting out hot with two blocks early on, but the last block is just dragging.

So I see the variance is still pretty noticeable... Would anyone be willing to share rough weekly/monthly profits and their mhash which is pointed at p2pool? I'm one of those seeing is believing kinda guys. When I was just mining one gpu, I was getting about .03 more/day than I would have on PPS/Prop at a big pool with fees, so I was happy, but now that I'm on 4 gpu's and over 3x more mhash (1350 now), I'm just curious as to if I will still make my calculated (based off of BTC calculators and such) ~.9BTC per day?
You can see the recent luck on the p2pool.info stats page. You can determine what any miner made by doing simple math with those values and any bitcoin mining calculator. For example, a 1GH/s miner would earn 0.67 BTC/day if they have no variance. You can see that p2pool has been unlucky recently and in the last 7 days, the pool has found about 65% of the blocks that would have been expected if the pool had no variance. So that 1GH/s miner would actually have made 0.67 BTC/day * 0.65 = .4355 BTC/day over the past 7 days. Of course on weeks that p2pool is lucky, the pool will find more blocks than expected if there were zero variance and that miner would make more than 0.67 BTC/day. Over a long period of time, the good weeks will tend to offset the bad weeks, etc. Thank you. |
