Looks like my pool stats did report normally after a couple shares were submitted, and I was also paid the other missing shares after I had restarted p2pool. Now I have a couple of questions maybe you can help me out with:
I would like to have each miner use a non wallet address rather than configure each miner with the same address for better individual tracking. I figured this could happen a couple ways, 1 would be to create a new receiving address in the wallet for each miner, but that seems to wasteful. 2. I was thinking to set the pool fee to 100% and set the -a payout address and then configure miners with any textual username I prefer.
How would one do this will the least amount of effort?
There's nothing wasteful with giving your workers individual addresses - and it's the easiest  If you name a miner anything other than a direct wallet address then it'll go to the default wallet I assume that's what he meant, by saying individual addresses instead of individual names |

it already is over 50%, they're just being smart about it. i mean, why would you want to cause a panic about it when you're making so much money? i mean, they can sell their asics for 5-10x what they should be priced at, and they can also sell their hashing power for at least 2x what it should be priced at... in the meantime, they can just use it to mine.
do you really think they're making all their blocks public w/ the sig?

I am pretty sure the people at ghash.io are capitalists at heart, even if they are in China

I wonder why dumbasses are even mining on a pointless, abandoned pool.
the fee is rly high, it must be good  |

Latency is important with P2Pool so find a fast node close to you the latency fallacy again |
|
|
|
|
They are having a hard time load balancing all their hashing power between official ghash.io, 'unknown' IPs, and various other pools to make it seem like they have less than 51%

What's your orphan rate? ed: I just checked, it looks like they reset it just a little bit ago, so can't really tell atm. It is showing 1 orphan out of 11 shares, if that was the norm, it'd be pretty crap.. read what mr. t says on nogleg.com:9555 ... the only change i'd make is that it's more like 7 interrupts per minute for DOGE.. p2pool *tries* to get a share every 15s, but it's faster than that in practice i think bitcoin is supposed to be 30s shares, w/ the 10 min blocks (more like 8 minutes nowadays but w/e). so would maybe call it like 3 interrupts a minute |

Why bitcoind consumes too much resources (core i5, 8gb memory). And is there any possibility to decrease it, because i have an idea to put bitcoind on VPS, but seems it'll slow down all system  I run bitcoind with standard settings on a 2GB RAM VPS w/o any issues. 1GB should be fine with a little swap space, I'd imagine.. Though on a node where I have 500+ connections, I have to restart it every week or so, else it gets up to 4GB+ in reserved memory |

do what i said earlier, but i guess maybe like this:
bitcoin-qt -reindex -maxconnections=1 -connect=5.9.24.81 -connect=5.9.24.81 -par=8
... or change par to the number of threads for your CPU... also, the reason for two connect='s is because i've found that a lot of times when i just use one connect=, it'll sometimes connect to some other node first, dunno what's up with that

If I understood OP correctly thats not helping. The goal is to have 30 ipv4 connections (max) and 70 tor connections. Same client. Afaik this isnt possible currently. Can probably be coded though.
Yes. That's what I want.
I'm pretty sure you can use onlynet=Tor with some addnode IPv4 addresses.... dunno, been a while
Didnt think about it this way, should work. Afaik addnode just adds a node without further checking the network. IIRC I had some nodes in a local testnet I added via ipv4 but they would show as ipv6 which confused me at first. So with a good list of static ipv4 nodes this would indeed speed up an otherwise tor only node. I see. The problem here is I have to maintain a good list of static ipv4 nodes and from time to time I still have to restart the client to make a changed config file with updated addnoses affect the client. Even if a connection dropps for some reason what always can happen, in the long term the ipv4 connected nodes will become 0 and I still have to restart the client over time? Seems like a "setup and forget"-solution is not possible (yet)? In this case the current status where I just retart the client when I don't like the amounts of different connection types is still the easiest solution? with addnode, if a connection drops, it'll retry it every x seconds. I think the base retry is every 120 seconds. There are some ipv4 nodes that have been up 95%+ for years. try http://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt ... I'd say that's pretty long term |

you can simply cool the rigs with ambient (correctly done) air flow I used to keep my rigs cool enough with ambient temps up to 105oF... Now, I realize that's a bit extreme as I know some components (like PSUs) aren't supposed to be in ambient over 95oF (hence all expensive gold-cert PSUs)... but it wasn't too hard to keep all the graphics cards under 75oC. Just had to have a floor fan assigned to each computer... and a huge industrial fan blowing air in from the window & venting out the top.. The door was sealed off with some foam type stuff. I'm sure some of that hot air still got to other parts of the house, but it probably didn't increase the AC bill all that much... maybe 10% or so. |

VPS mining is not recommanded since if you use too much resources for long periods of time, the provider can and will kick you out of the VPS. Mining is more for GPU and ASICs if you want profit. You can mine those CPU-only coins but you won't make much profit.
-ranochigo
yeah, mining a cryptocurrency is a nice way to get kicked right off of that vps. get a dedicated server for that.. datasoft.ws has some for 1 cent @ https://datasoft.ws/ds_plusdedicated.php ... I'm on one right now, w/ Windows 2003 server (they are "out of stock" of Ubuntu (lol), and make you pay for IPMI to install your own OS) |

I have libboost but they're an older version than the one that bitcoin-qt requires. (I have the 1.49, bitcoin-qt requires the 1.55)
How to solve it?
Well, that would depend on what version of ubuntu you're using. I guess it's not Trusty if it comes with libboost 1.49 installed.. https://launchpad.net/~boost-latest/+archive/ppaThere's 1.55 for saucy, quantal, and precise. If you're on trusty (maybe saucy and quantal too?), you could just sudo aptitude install libboost1.55-all-dev and libboost1.55-dev, and it'll take care of removing the old version of libboost.. or you could just purge it yourself. |

Run it with -onlynet Tor
or put onlynet=tor
in your .conf file

He didn't include a fee and it didn't qualify as a priority transaction, it's never going to get in a block. Accepting crap like that leaves you open to all sorts of problems if you're running a pool (re: horsestablebattery).
Leaving the client open will rebroadcast it every x minutes (random(30) maybe?). If you could see the IP information I'd guess a handful or less of the nodes relayed it, and it'd be extremely unlikely that any of those are actually mining.
You can send it for free if it's a high priority transaction -- that's when you might have to wait some hours. Sending a transaction that isn't priority without a proper fee only gets confirmed if you're mining blocks yourself to include it (see deepbit payments).
ed: back when I used to do a lot of bitcoin transfers, I'd use a fee of .00011

http://www.netlimiter.com/nl4testing.phphas a 30 day (or 28?) trial with all features. i've been using it for a while, so i don't know if they improved the uninstaller or not, but you used to have to remove some drivers manually when uninstalling. would rank it up there in the top 3 utils for windows  my settings for wtfleg
