Quella macchina non sta minando si vede da 0 accettate e 3500 scartate, per questo non si vedono le due blade sono spente

Ogni antminer deve avere il suo worker su GHASH.io. quindi worker1 per antminer1 e worker2 per antminer2

I totally agree with you and understand what is going on. I was just curious to hear from others. I understand the difficulty levels and the drop in pay.... As we all know, it dosent stop the electric bill and its HUGE.
I love mining and all of it, but I dont want to take my money and invest thousands more and be behind the eight ball for months to catch up like I did with this 5000.00 investment on the 4 T. I am finally ahead of the game and made a few bucks.
I am at that crossroad.... yes I could invest again and start all over...... I dont know its a dilemma that I have to come to grips with. Maybe I will sell off all of my S-1's and just run 1 S-2 at some pool to keep my hands and head in the game............  Thanks for your thoughts as thats all I was looking for!......
Nobody understands this crazy game we play but those of us wrapped up in it!!!
Couldn't agree more... Smiley

It's good that you've at least gotten to the point where you're a little ahead.  Sadly there's many who haven't and may never, and it'll be a completely losing proposition for them.  If you sell your equipment now you'll even be that much more ahead of the game, and like you said if you can get maybe just one or two things to keep it going as a hobby it'll be enough.  I think honestly that's how many will need to treat it - a hobby where they understand they may lose more than they invest but it's still kinda a neat thing to be part of.

Mining is certainly more about the passion and the geeky side of it than any rational explanation can bear.  I suffer the same disease... Smiley

if the share diff to raise the reward was lower, it would be much easier for small-scale miners have a constant reward, let us realize that now with 3ph/s is really shocking make a share and many are coming out.

The latest shares I made have given me 5mbtc which is very much higher than the daily reward of a small miner, the scale of the reward should be much more fragmented imho and, in this way, many more people participate

I do not understand the discourse that many are coming out of the pool because they have old hardware. there should be a replacement ... I think if people with older hardware comes out other with new should arrive, but it is not.

4  Local / Mining (Italiano) / Re: P2P pool mining, come funziona ? on: August 31, 2014, 09:19:04 AM


e attualmente siamo una delle p2p più veloci in europa. http://p2pools.org/btc (è da ricaricaricare un paio di volte la pagina che lo script è un po' sglitchoso)

le impostazioni di cgminer sono:

./cgminer -o 2.234.55.84:9332 -u VOSTROINDIRIZZOBTC -p UNAPASSWORDQUALSIASI (altre opzioni se necessarie)

Si può comunicare alla pool lo share diff preferito mettendo dopo il VOSTROINDIRIZZOBTC "+sharediff". Esempio 1a3s7dc3a861ca187ds8a1adsasdas6a1dsa+256. nel caso degli antminer S1 consiglio un valore di 128 e per gli s3 256.

Bisogna attendere circa 3 giorni per sapere il reward medio che si può prendere in p2p, si viene pagati con monete vergini ogni volta che viene preso il blocco direttamente sull'indirizzo che abbiamo indicato nella riga di comando.

Nota finale. la difficoltà della pool p2p è molto alta quindi se non riuscite a raggiungere almeno 1,5 th/s potete rinunciare in partenza perchè cresce il reward solo nel caso che si riesce a fare una condivisione di difficoltà molto alta e con pochi miner è quasi impossibile

Come da oggetto le pool in questione sono ghash.io e btcguild minando bitcoin
Ultimamente riscontro un gran casino su ghash perdite di connessione e miner che staccano e vanno a singhiozzi
Su btcguild non ho mai provato ma ho letto che non è male

Volevo un parere magari da chi le ha già usate e ne capisce molto più di me, considerate che sono su  1Th totale

Poi su btcguil non ho capito quanto in percentuale la pool si prende.

In poche parole è da tempo che sono su ghash e volevo capire dato che ultimamente riscontro qualche problema se era il caso di spostarsi altrove, grazie.

dipende da quanta potenza hai a disposizione, ma ghash è quello che paga meno in assoluto a meno che non hai un'esercito di miner

valuta anche eligius ma non è una pool dove stare a parcheggiare i miner ma solo dove hoppare. la p2p è la più fruttifera ma al momento attuale ci vogliono almeno 1,5 th/s per avere un reward decente

ho un rasperry pi con 6 antminer u2
lo faccio partire e dopo un paio d'ora si blocca. dice il pool non è più raggiungibile e smette di minare!
come devo fare per farlo funzionare senza che si blocchi?

che versione hai di cgminer? l'hai compilata tu?

che alimentatore usi per il raspb?

PS se fa kernel oops puoi impostare che il raspberry si riavvii automaticamente dopo i crash.

but hey guys what's going on? in the last 20 days p2p lost about 70 out of 250 active users / addesses (although the hashrate scores 1ph more), share diff of the pool is very high for those who do not have a farm, I personally with 3 th / s i have not done a good share in the last 20 hours ... there is no way of remodulating the share diff of p2p so that it is not so difficult for small-scale miners have a decent payout and a little more stable? ok accept the variance I can tolerate, but it seems clear that many users they are leaving the pool

E
My opinion is that a lot of the smaller miners are getting out of the game completely with difficulty rising and bitcoin prices falling or stagnant.  Also a lot of older hardware is dropping out, sometimes being replaced by smaller numbers of better equipment (remember miners means addresses, not people - I've got 5 different mining addresses running for just myself).  P2pool is seeing more of that because of the low usage rate to begin with.  I think the barrier to entry these days is at minimum an S1, more likely an S3, 400GH/s to get anything worth of a payout.

However, with 3TH/s you should be seeing more shares than that, at least one every 3-4 hours on average I would think.  Could be just variance - how long have you been up and running?  Typically when you first start with p2pool you should let it settle in for at least 3 days, more likely about a week before things start evening out and get more consistent.  I remember when I first switched over to p2pool it was very slow in the first few days even on 7TH/s, then by the next week we were doing well.



The pool was just a week old, I waited to have at least 3 incoming connection and then I moved my miner from another p2p where I had parked for 2 days. Only yesterday I moved to another pool for 12 hours. You can see what happened this week here http://2.234.55.84:9332/static/graphs.html?Week

And amazingly after 24 hours of mining without seeing a share I have taken 3, one behind the other. :-)

The thing that scares me a bit is in the last two month the "share diff" is rising a lot, and we are cutting out all the little miner. today share diff have touched 14200000.

If it takes me four hours to share with 3th/s for those who has 1 th/s in over 3 days they should wait 6 shares only, and in this condition you are at the mercy of the variance. At the same time for those who have a farm of 20th/s or more they will have near-constant reward and they can even allowed to hop to other pool for some times.

it would be great if the shares diff go 1000 times lower (and the reward to find a share 1000 times lower too), in this way could also mine those who have much less hashrate, how can they do for now only in the other pool. P2pool would be much more distributed and more people participate, which is for the benefit of all I think.

Again need some help! Sorry i'm a noob ;-)

i'm loosing all my incoming nodes, i made 2 orphans.... what happened? is normal?



thanks in advance E

Ok, that sounds fine.  I'm thinking the disk will really help with the GBT.  1s is not good, but it's workable for now especially if you're just testing it and have plans for something beefier later.  I would just caution you that if you are running the wallet on the same "server" you take plenty of backups... with only a single drive if it goes you'll lose everything if you don't have backups.

And, I would also suggest that if you are planning on opening your node to be public (and possible even if not), if you have the resources, run your wallet on a totally different machine.  This way if something bad were to happen (hack)  your wallet won't be compromised. 

Right, good idea! I'll do a daily auto-backup on a usb stick. Just copy the folder "data" or is it better that I do I copy the whole folder directly "p2p-master"?

With regard to the possibility that something bad happens :-(  I made start the pool with the option "--address" which, as far I understand, it sends the payout of the pool to another address different than the wallet of the pool. is that right?
This idea, however, I hold in consideration because surely could raise a bit of work to my poor toshiba...

I had think a laptop was sufficient to run the p2pool because I noticed that system requirements not too exorbitant, also consumes much less power than a standard desktop, the only thing I regret is not having put a ssd .. .

I hope and I plan it can become a public node, because in Italy there are few p2pool and with a very high ping, but for first I want to fix this glitch ... thanks to all for the help. Erik

You can, obviously you may miss out on a share during the restart. Your bitcoin peer connections will be lost, but p2pool peers will stay, here is what to expect:

p2pool will throw the following error while it can not reach Bitcoind

Code:
Failure: twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError: Connection was refused by other side: 61: Connection refused.

If the bitcoin restart takes more then a minute this message displays in the log and front end:

Code:
> ########################################
> Warning: LOST CONTACT WITH BITCOIND for 1.0 minutes! Check that it isn't frozen or dead!
> ########################################



ok and thanks for the reply, so if I understand it, restart your bitcoin wallet does not create any problem (apart from losing a share if it happens at the time of the reboot)


specs:
server pool: toshiba tecra s10 (2x intel P8600 2.4 GHz - 4 g ram - hd wd scorpio black)

Thanks in advance Erik
Laptop?

I would guess your issue is with the hard drive - although it's 7200RPM, it is only a single drive.  You might be better served by replacing it with an SSD, since the local blockchain transactions are disk intensive.

Also, what O/S?  If it's Windows you also might benefit from more than 4GB RAM as well.

CPU should be plenty tho.

is an experimental configuration to see if it works, surely if all goes well I will invest some money in a faster computer.

The HD is 7200rpm, but I'm going to replace it with a ssd

Operating system is openSUSE linux, cpu utilization varies between 20% and 70%, I have 4 gb of ram in total and by now they are only used 2.6

After some serious bad mining luck it's been a damn good so far today. My best ever.
0.08261794 so far off two S3's and undervolted s1. That a very nice day for that little bit of hash.  Grin

I have had a few issues on my pool in the last 24 hrs. Bitcoind has crashed twice after being stable for 30 days. Even after a reboot. It's been fine for a few hours. I just hope the DB is not corrupted and I'll have to download chain again. It was running around 30TH/s for a while, but I'm not sure how much hashrate plays into p2pool/server performance. Server is fine on CPU and RAM. I'll find out soon enough.



0.08 or 0.008?
17  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [600 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: August 16, 2014, 11:47:14 AM
it can be said, at this point, that under 1,5th/s is useless mine in p2p? there is no way to correct this problem?


If you can tolerate the variance, 1.5TH/s will work just fine.

Ok, let's see this miner how much is rewarded this week... I bet it can be approximated to 0 or close enough.
18  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [600 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: August 16, 2014, 11:05:31 AM
No  share?

Look here

http://188.40.74.85:9332/static/graphs.html?Day


lol  Grin Grin Grin


It must be remembered that he . Cheesy




I'm sorry but I honestly do not understand ... how p2p can be the most profittabile when reward fluctuate under 10 mBtc for 1.5 Th / s? in Eligius pool I take 0.036 btc / day

I understand the variance of the reward, but for what I have seen of me and many others who have under 2th / s of hashing power is very inconvenient and this is making the p2p pool for a few miners only.

He has 1.5GH/s, take a look at the graph again. Smiley

While I cant verify his numbers, I see no reason to not take them at face value...

That could still be luck.  6 months ago 1 TH/s was HUGE.  Now, on p2pool, you're looking at 12 hours on avg for a share.

It also doesn't account for the NMC you get from Eligius, which you won't get from p2pool unless you have your own node and blocks are found.

M

for me is the same... 2 months ago p2p was the best and the most profittable, but now i can't get share and my reward dropped too much... E

i've look at the graph in this moment, but he has the same reward...

Patience is required with p2pool - I am using less hashrate than you on a couple of different nodes, sometimes I can go without a share for 12 hours or more - then 2 or 3 shares will appear within 5 minutes of each other. Hash rate & diff is going up on every pool - this is the way of things.

Just sit tight - it'll come  Wink



Yes but patience apart, I have mined for about 2 weeks and in the last 4-5 days my reward decrease and go to 0.

On http://p2pool.info/ the lowest active user speed is over 1900th/s
