I noticed mmpool are switching over to a p2pool back end - it will be interesting to see how they manage the merge mining payout problem......
Yes indeed it will  |

In regard to merge mining (and I apologize if I've missed it in this thread)...how do you pay found merge mined blocks back to your nodes miners? I see that some people manually convert merge mined coins to BTC and then do a "send many" back to p2pool but has anyone figure out something better? Someone forked proxy pool to accept a second coins payment address in the password field but every public site using it has since shut down. I am concerned that it may not be a viable solution.  You haven't missed it. There's absolutely no support for it, and in the current state of the code, there's no way to even do it. For example, let's say that I mine on node 1 for some time and find 3 shares. I move onto node 2. I find 5 more shares. I move back to node 1 again, and I find a share that solves a merged coin block. How does the node pay me? What about paying other miners who had previously been on the node, but for whatever reason have since moved off? Besides this, how do you know to which addresses to pay out the coins? There are a lot of changes that would be required to ever be able to handle paying out merged coins to miners in any way. Hey jonnybravo0311, I sent you a PM about p2pool merged mining etc. not sure you can answer. Feel free to post my question in thread here if you think any answers will help you may have.  thx MMNC Replied. Basically the answer is the same as I posted here. When you enable merged mining on your node, you are effectively solo mining the merged coins using the power of all the miners on your node. There is no provision there to payout the miners on your node any of the merged coins.

I had the thought of supporting merge mined coins by having p2pool use additional sharechains (auxShareChain). It would handle payments and combine the hashing power just like the main sharechain. Not a trivial task and beyond my time and skill level. There are a ton of changes that would need to be made to try and implement merged-mining payouts. Hey I am seeing this issue more clearly now lol Thanks! I Pm'd ya |

I'm thinking of switching to P2Pool but don't want to run my own node. I've looked at the node list and some like p2pool.org seem like scams. Can someone suggest a node in the southeast i"m in Charlotte NC? Would be running about 10-15TH depending on how I decide to split it. Thanks
Windpath has his node in VA. http://minefast.coincadence.com. By the way, p2pool.org is not a scam. Windpath owns that domain now and is turning it into an informational site. There is still a node there but unless you feel like donating your hashing power you probably don't want to mine there since it is 100% fee  So, Windpath's node at minefast is a zero fee node? I pinged it and the times were decent. I see the 100% fee node is also in Ashburn VA same as minefast. And another question, 6 of my machines are Dragons that don't properly execute the stratum protocol. How would I set the difficulty or are they not compatible with P2P? Thanks Hey Cheeseater, sent you a Pm also... I have a public node up 3.5 hours away from you in NC |

I will go into the mountains for three days from tomorrow. See you. Have a safe trip! get some more pictures for us Oh and ya I also like ramen noodles lol,,,, there is a story behind that name coinnoodle.... explain later, lol but I had that domain name already for about 5 months just sitting so I used it for test pool... THX! have fun |

Found it! I copy/pasted your link, and it turns out you left out the ":" between "stratum+tcp" and "//216.99.113.116:9171" Had me worried there for a minute! lol! [Edit - Any way to see stats?] Fixed  thanks for the heads up... ya had me worried too lol |

[Edit - Any way to see stats?] Hey!!! thank you!! I am seeing a nice pool hash at 700 hk mostly you or someone? lol,,, I need to know if you get a payout and I need you to see a stats page...for the pool .... um I will pm you the link if you don't know one for p2pool stats to try. I would give you it here but don't want it public yet if link is dead or incorrect... ok, thanks again. ( I connect internally here with a diff. IP for the stats) Actually it seems vertcoin is paying decent and seems the mining cost ration is reasonable in these hard times lol..ok,, ill be back,, just got home and glanced all 3 pools still up. BTC will be hard to test as I need another miner to bring at least 50 - 100 GHz to the btc pool and hopefully get a" share" to then test payouts. I had 4 payouts in the first 3 days a week ago, and was awesome income...but I haven't shared in a week now? but have been mining on a different server from the test one... anyways,,, if ya have a few extra asics laying around point to the BTC pool lol... MMNC I'm putting out about ~530 kh - I got a payout:  ...and yeah - shoot me a pm with the stats link. I don't do p2p too much - just when I started to get into it, it seems that they are never available for the coin I'm on at the moment. lol! SWEET! nice payout lol... nah for real that's good to get one so fast , If ya bring in about a 100 a day, be about .025 btc... 100 is a lot though.. but 50 or so .0175 ..... Ok, I sent ya a pm with link |

Hey Motty and Doug! Ok, got my 3 pools that need testing here is a link to my website for the coins and of course vertcoin is the easiest and has the fastest payouts if you can hash for a bit and let me know if you get a payout. the addresses are all there, but vert is now -o stratum+tcp//216.99.113.116:9171 I really appreciate the help!!!! I have been at this for days and days now lol New site below I used another domain name I had on reserve lol ( still working on pool ) http://www.coinnoodle.com/home.htmlThanks' for the help again! Let me know |

Minerman I don't seem to be able to connect - but isn't 192.168.x.x strictly local?  Yes its local... earlier as I had played and tested with the software and actually created the pool on my work bench PC rather than the server, lol don't know what I was thinking,, tired..lol but l will I will be setting it up on the server this weekend and Monday I still need to get with phone co. and address a few issues... I like that link Motty left for Shields up, a good thing I don't have reverse DNS lol, ok, thx again |

Wonderful! Looks good thx!,,, will help his page hit counts lol |

Hey Guys! thanks for the help. I guess I will need to call the phone company and have them forward the Port needed in their clear access router, which they have password protected  I will also look at the global IP feature,, thanks Motty. Hey I am really excited to see the movement in here re enforcing Fuji the block explorer is a great add on now to have! Doug thx for the screen shots as this is all a new territory for me with setting up a pool.. but I think I've got it now...lol I have a BTC p2pool node running for 5 days now, and have made way more than I was joining a pool with fees etc.. ok, I will get some things fixed up and maybe you guys can try again THX for the help!! |

YEAh!!!! looks good .... 1 step at a time |

Right now the only thing I am mining is bitcoin again,,, My GPUS are all off saving electricity and the summer heat is horrid right now in the south,,, so Im keeping them off until it cools down some or there is a scrypt coin worth mining. My arsenal: 2x7970 2x7950 7870 2x7790 2x6870 Just sold off 2 extra x6870's thinning out my farm  actually I have everything for sale on craigslist now lol I want to buy BTC asics..... 3x 6 core AMD CPU'S 3 core 6 dual cores 2 Dell servers with 2x4 Intel Xeons each (16cores total) Ya I used to CPU mine the cpu coins and did very well once upon a time, lol made some serious money on secure coin when I cashed in last December |

Hey gang! ya I'm still here lol... been tied up with a few other things,,, Bens site has had over 458 hits since he added Fuji to it, and I have picked up 12 sign ups on Fobcoin from linking to his site not sure what I will do with all those Dolphin Coins lol He needs to get it listed around the threads,, and on FB etc,, he is dragging his feet typical teen lol ok, will be back hashing Fuji soon. I have been working on a BTC P2Pool Node ,,,, may attempt a pool that way for Fuji once I understand it all. I have fired up my old dell servers and playing with them, looks like I need a new PSU for one of them Ok, still here and believe in Fuji!!! never give up MMNC Hi MinermanNC, Thanks! So I want to see the site of Ben, please tell me the URL. It's in his sig... I saw the site of Ben. Page of mining are made particularly well. By the way, what type of the GPU are you using? I'm using the on-board GPU. lol Even onboard GPU, efficiency is 2-fold better than the CPU. Hey Motty, Thx we all pitched in on the mining set ups page and Doug contributed to the NVidia commands.... Still more to come on the site ... As far as onboard GPU your referring to the onboard graphics which with AMD vision the GPU is part of the CPU so yes it will mine pretty good, definitely better than a CPU for sure.. or mine with both as I do from time to time lol. If we only had something where Fuji could be used for.... games poker etc.. t-shirts anything! |
