So got this post card from Tokyo District court today about MTGOX

All in Japanese, no clue what it says.

Anyone got it and able to translate it to English ?

Makes me wonder why they send it out by Air Mail and then write it all in Japanese to foreignness.

P2Pool code base for CNC/FTC/JKC/BQC/RYC/MNC based on newest p2pool

Including all latest fixes and tweaks resultning is way less rejects and DOA

https://github.com/narken/p2pool-altcoins


Quick guide on how to start p2pool and port settings:
There is few things you should make note of, first is the port settings and next is command arguments for both the xxxcoind client and p2pool.

First start with you xxxcoind client and let it sync the whole blockchain
Then edit edit xxxcoin.conf with something like this
rpcuser=YOURACCOUNT
rpcpassword=YOURPASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
rpcport=18322
port=183122
daemon=1
server=1

These ports are used by xxcoind and by p2pool when it tries to connect to your client.
Then start either the daemon or QT client (daemon is best)

Next up is p2pool
Start it up with something like this

Code:

run_p2pool.py --net mincoin -f 3 --give-author 0 --w 5643 --bitcoind-address 192.168.1.5 --bitcoind-p2p-port 13992 --bitcoind-rpc-port 13991 YOURACCOUNT YOURPASSWORD

Notice how I specify --bitcoind-address since I'm not running the daemon on same computer as the p2pool server
(Very good idea when running an altcoin that might be "unsafe")
I run all my altcoin daemons in different sandboxs just to make sure they don't do anything naughty

--w is the incoming port you need to open so people can connect to your p2pool server

Next big thing is whether you would like to peer up with other p2pool or not.
Check p2pool/networks.py and find the altcoin you want to run a server for.
See following lines
        IDENTIFIER='e031F5b8c6924210'.decode('hex'),
        PREFIX='e290192ba6d4729a'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=9772,
P2P_PORT is used by p2pool to connect or allow connection to other peers (p2pool servers)
IDENTIFIER and PREFIX must also match
So open this port also to connect to peers

I think that's all for now, getting late ;-)

Also see this great thread for P2pool information:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153232.0


PLEASE NOTE:
You can't just switch over to the new code base on existing cnc p2pool server.
(You can try, but it will most likly result in incorrect share payment and LOTS of DOA (since share id is changed))

You need to setup a fresh server on a new port and tell your miners to use that one instead.

If you want to connect to the cnc node network you need to open up port 13389 UDP / TCP for incoming and outgoing traffic

Run P2Pool with the "--net chncoin" option for CNC

[Small tips for reducing DOA rate.]

P2Pool for CHNcoin on a 100mbit line with very low latency

New CNC server up and running.

Code:

http://chncoin.no-ip.biz:9340

Including all latest fixes. Payment shares fixed
DOA should be much lower, also for slow miners.

Old CNC pool

Code:

http://chncoin.no-ip.biz:9333

Mining User: Your CHNCoin Address
Mining Pass: Anything

cgminer:
cgminer --scrypt -o chncoin.no-ip.biz:9340 -u yourCNCaddress -p x -s 5 --expiry 5 --gpu-threads 1 --queue 0


cudaminer:
cudaminer -o chncoin.no-ip.biz:9340 -u yourCNCaddress -p x


Small tips for reducing DOA rate.

You can set your share difficulty by adding +0.0000xxxx to your CHNcoin adress:

yourCNCaddress+0.0004872

Recommend share difficulty:

Hash Rate (KHash/s)   Difficulty
1   +0.00000116
5   +0.00000582
10   +0.00001164
50   +0.00005821
100   +0.00011641
250   +0.00029103
500   +0.00058207
750   +0.00087310
1000   +0.00116414

Also make sure to set --queue 0 in your miner and --gpu-threads 1

Example:

cgminer --scrypt -o chncoin.no-ip.biz:9340 -u yourCNCaddress+0.00058207 -p x -s 5 --expiry 5 --gpu-threads 1 --intensity 12 --queue 0

Lowering the intensity just slightly might also reduce DOA a little bit

Test it out and let me know ;-)

FYI: With other pools like PushPool's there will still be a HIGH DOA / stale rate, you just wont see it in your local miner
So while your miner says 15 % stale, it might actually be 75% in PushPool log


Updates:
May 07, 2013, 12:03:05: New CNC server with all latest p2pool fixes. Tweaked to CNC with help from p2pool developer
May 06, 2013, 09:03:00: Updated p2pool version and interface again. Added more cpu power and memory to the server
May 06, 2013, 02:10:21: Network hardware upgraded, should handle DDOS better now.

DDOS away... Someone must be really bored. Rebuilt server until it was sorted out with clean install.
Another Major DDOS and hack attack. Moved p2pool to another and faster server
Another DDOS attack filtered out and restarted server
DDOS attack filtered out. Interfaced updated
All stats working and tweaking interface tonight for cleaner viewing.
Found a lot of blocks the lasts hours ;-)

Hi all

Just setup a new test P2Pool for CHNcoin on a 100mbit line with very low latency

CHNCoin p2pool:
chncoin.no-ip.biz:9333

cgminer:
cgminer --scrypt -o chncoin.no-ip.biz:9333 -u yourCNCaddress -p x -s 5 --expiry 5 --queue 0


cudaminer:
cudaminer -o chncoin.no-ip.biz:9333 -u yourCNCaddress -p x

Test it out ;-)
