1.5 bitcoins

better get rid of it before all the ignorant ppl out there see the new difficulty level in 60 hours

the prices are only low for people that don't understand how things work here.  those prices are in fact way too HIGH now.

520m difficulty 2.5 days away... wtf?

I don't think they've been updated since the 23rd.

I'm in Texas, so it'd probably be too far for me to drive, but I know some folks that live in... Mississippi.  Exactly where are you east of the Mississippi?  That's a pretty large area  

ah, I found in another thread... Pennsylvania?.. too far, bummer.   Though while I'd entertain the idea of paying $1000 for them, I probably would have wanted to drop down to $900 or so for a cash in hand pickup, anyway... which you probably wouldnt have taken.

but now it doesnt matter  

Sell it while people will still pay way too much for it

Look in the p2ool/web.py file and you'll find all the things you can query.  ed: I pulled that earlier list off my other server that I use as a relay, it connects to 40 random nodes, w/o using --p2pool-node, so it tends to get a bunch of duds; p2pool nodes that haven't been updated in a couple of months.


I'm honestly not sure about those.  My guess would be that it's a large transaction that's being forwarded to your p2pool to store, but I'm not sure....  think it also occurs occasionally when blocks are solved.  The gradual increase is normal the longer it goes w/o a block being solved (all these transactions being stored)....

Now, my question... why does it report a much larger DOA rate in my log file www.nogleg.com/log then it does on the website?  

www.nogleg.com:9332/static

Also, is there some significant drawback to submitting a share twice?  I assume the second (or third or fourth) counts as a DOA, but ... wouldn't really be a DOA, since the first one would be the one that mattered?

Is that why there's like a 20% discrepency between the DOA in the log and the DOA on the website?

ED#10: good lord, ok, everything fixed.  now, anyone know the answer to the question?

Just a heads up that from the 40 nodes I can see right now; 24.161.35.225, 184.56.251.69, 183.136.216.39, 24.10.44.25, 183.136.216.39, 95.128.48.209, 193.190.255.150, 38.109.218.101, 198.91.172.112, 209.195.4.74, 186.220.27.239 all have over 1MB of transactions stored (while most everyone else in this lot has 45kb).  That's why your bitcoind latency is so high.  Some of these nodes are essentially dead, but others aren't...

Upgrade your bitcoind version, you're probably picking up the horse staple battery transactions... or lower maxblocksize to something like 250000...

oh, btw, 24.161.35.225... very impressive system there, the other five I looked at had latencies from 2s to 6s, yours is hanging out around 0.9s...

well, you could always try my node.  i obsess over the stats, since there's nothing else for me to do now bitcoin related (until ppl stop paying absurd amounts for asics)

it needs some herlp since I had to reset it and it's 1 DOA out of 2 =/

but, yeah, that was just some seriously bad luck.  it could have been the exact opposite & you could have made bank...  over a long period of time, p2pool will pay out more than any pool that charges fees....  that is, if you're on one that averages 100%+ efficiency & it's one of the p2pools that doesn't charge a fee (and it also depends on if you're running it locally or not, and how much that costs).  

100% efficiency would generally be one that has about 85% good shares (probably a bit lower).  if they have the latest version of p2pool, good/orphan/doa will show up on the monthly chart etc.

orphans matter the most, you can figure out your expected DOA based on your latency. 

oh, that guy that got 2 shares...  uh, it looks to me like he got super lucky?

ah, nice to have backup pools set, never know when someone might DoS a p2pool to take that .001% hashrate out of action.

 i think you have the wrong person though, since if you look at my weekly chart, FTX has been on it for 3 or 4 days =p

edited!

heh, speaking of which...  i just noticed all the DOA, and it looks like i have nearly 1000 python connects from one person.   not sure if something is just busted or if it's intentional or not, i guess i might reset p2pool.

alright, I don't think it was an actual miner, since when I firewalled the IP, nobody's activity dropped off...   but the 600-700 open sockets in python weren't closing, so i used fuser -k (then some 600 connections went from established to FIN_WAIT_1).  surely there is some better solution?  anyone that has more knowledge of linux?   was there any way to get rid of all that w/o having to restart p2pool?

i added some limit to simultaneous connections in firewall settings anyway

it was 220.233.90.xx, some ADSL connection from Australia

& having the stats reset sucks.  0 orphans in the last 24 hrs, and 1 out of like 200 shares =p

wait, can these things go faster than 7ghash nowadays?   i think i must be missing something here, what, with difficulty going to 525m in less than 3 days

why wouldnt they?  it'll never make $60.  if you do think it'd make $60, you'd be better off selling it now and then using that $60 in hand to buy bitcoins, because the only way it'd make that much is if the price goes up to $300 or more

i'll pay 4.5btc for both

hetzner network was screwed for about 15m, if anyone reads this that was mining on my pool or some other one located on hetzner network

oh, and luck over the last 3 days has been good if you include 266856 and onwards  

5 blocks in 76 hours, estimated time is 14hr30m but that's with 32.9 thash, and the average over the last 76 hours is probably more like 29-30thash...  jaja

btw: whoever is using p2pool.org:9332 and paying 2% for 75% efficiency... stop!

I hate that interface.  =p

The tables are all messed up, so it's hard to see.

.. but, yeah, you did get zero.. surprising.  I can tell because of the little dot on the share chart for 1Nkvy9srMWF6Aji1jp8aCVBXe8osKRoDzE (otherwise I'd just think the whole interface was screwed) ... so I think your server did find a share, just not for you?

The 'local share' field is just empty for me.

only  for some

like btcguild for example started out with a 0% fee and just took transaction fees, back in 2011.

i have no clue when/how they changed their fee structure, but they probably bumped it to 1% first before going to 2% or 3% or whatever.  this way, people won't change pools

why?  some really have no clue as to what's going on regardless (probably the majority of these never mined before ASICs), some would rather give btcguild 3% then waste time reconfiguring everything, and some seem to think that since btcguild solves more blocks, that means they make more than some 0-1% fee pool that solves 1/2 as many.

i lose money running my p2pool, i haven't mined on it seriously for about 4 months & it consumes resources on that server (to the extent that I've picked up a second server for encoding video, and, well, torrenting).  i assume it also may be the reason i've been null routed from ddos attacks a few times in the last 6 months... or that could have been the "hub node" list on blockchain.info & people actually thinking it'd reduce the network hashrate or something.   i don't have blockchain on my addnode list and they don't connect to me anymore, so that's not a problem at least.

i recall having some discussions with drharibo about it, but i'm pretty sure bitminter was essentially break even or so until he increased his fee from 0 to 1%.   not a whole lot of people donate willingly

(err, forgot to add, but, yeah, these places that take 2-3% or more... quite a bit, if they're active)

p2pools are just blanket listed as 'p2pool', there's a separate thread for p2pool servers, if you want to post it there

highest I've ever gotten was ~350m  

well, after I started using cgminer, anyway

didn't pay attention to blocks solved before that

what can i say, one born every minute etc

i'd advise the seller not to take paypal on such curiously high offers

you said you left open your node.. what's the IP?  5 days with nothing would be some extremely low % chance of happening at reported hashing rate

sure,

i'll buy these:

BFL BitForce 60Gh/s - USED
$ 825
Location: US
Shipping: US
Q-ty: 2 items

but not for $825 each, that's absurd price

i'll give you $1000 for them both, you ship here first, then i pay.  you can look at my trust feedback

thanks
