Some VPS companies are pretty crap.
Also a VPS has shared memory (KVMs are a lot better).. When you say your VPS went down, did the actual machine go down... or was it just not accessible on the net?

no clue, maybe a really slow computer? use --checkblocks=10

edit the source code and change the # of outgoing connections. i do 500 on a dedicated gigabit line. this bursts up to 60-90MB/s for a second or two when a new block hits the network.
i tested it on my home connection once & after a new block, it'd saturate the upstream for a good 30s or so. i guess that'd be a good way to slow down propagation, having 500+ connections and then limit upstream to 512Kbps or so.
That's probably a pretty bad idea, considering you're then eating up connection slots when you don't really need to, since you're perfectly able to be reached by other users. Editing your own outgoing connections beyond the standard 8, means there's less room for those who cannot forward port 8333 when behind a NAT. not really, since I have 1000 max connections. it doesn't use epoll, so it crashes once you hit 1024 or so. i've never gone above 800, w/ 500 outgoing if i didn't set it for 500 outgoing connections, i'd max out at around 300. since i have sufficient bandwidth to handle 800 connections, it's then better to open 500 outgoing ones |

Hi Acejam, I was testing your pool last night and my btc wallet address is 1Pcbp3KBsJuSqNCJBgqtUMXe6UjRhHB8f. I was hashing at well over 1THS for several hours but kept seeing the expected share and block times fluctuating back and forth, up and down. And I had no indication whether my work was going to be credited to me at any point, so I stopped mining there. Can you tell me whether or not my work will still be credited? I believe I was mining there for about 6-8 hours or so. Thanks for your time and considerate reply. Cheers, Gil...
Only if you got a share. It works exactly like www.nogleg.com/doge.log, look at the share difficulties, scan for 'GOT SHARE', etc. I really have no idea if 1TH on the p2pool network is a lot nowadays or not. You could possibly not have gotten any shares, though... re: cgminer-nogpu -o stratum+tcp://p2pool.io:9332 -u btc_address_goes_here -p 123 --no-submit-stale no-submit-stale isn't a great idea, since there's still some chance that that stale could solve a block (or be a valid p2pool share) |

Thanks zvs, that's not it, I tried setting mintxfee and minrelaytxfee and the spikes still occur...
mintxfee and minrelaytxfee wouldn't cover the transactions I was talking about, it would be limitfreerelay. anyway, the easy way to check is next time it's going really slow just do a bitcoind mininginfo and see how many tx are queued Thanks zvs, appreciate the help. limitfreerelay looks interesting default = 15kb per minute so I assume reducing it to 10 or 5 should help? bitcoind getmininginfo

I have not been closely watching this up until now so will start to track. Am I looking at currentblocktx or pooledtx (or both)? How can I determine if that is what is effecting the latency? Again, really appreciate it, thanks. pooledtx are the ones that sit around in memory. currentblocktx are the ones that are in the block your p2pool is mining. your latency graph looked to me like you are getting slammed w/ a whole bunch of unconfirmed transactions at once. probably a lot of zero fee or zero fee priority transactions. i haven't checked in a while, but the base behavior used to be to accept free transactions when a block was <10KB in size. priority transactions up to 30KB. I used to use limitfreerelay=0. Didn't want to have anything using up resources for nothing. If you allow free transactions, your client will eventually have all of those stored & most will probably take a long time to get into a block. Your graph looks to me like the same thing that happened w/ 75% or so of the nodes with the horsestaplebattery transactions. I always had mine set to a min of .0005. Anyway, something like blockmaxsize=250000 would speed it up also. |

Was reading the first post and saw this.. Just curious, why does it say the referral was removed when it's still there? |

Crunchyroll gives me a free 30 day trial about every 3 months that I never use... when it comes time to cancel it, I always say that I'd keep it if they took bitcoin as payment.
Then the guy always says something about how he'll forward the suggestion to x team or whatever, repeat. Think it's been like 4 or 5 trials by now..

I need a couple hundred in my paypal account asap, anyone know about how long it'd take for a 'BitSimple' payment to credit?

That's unfortunate but looks like it was resolved.
I guess some people believed what it said about being major merchants or something, cause I'd get ddos'ed and also a whole bunch of attacks on that server. I had a wallet.dat file in my main apache2 directory for a while, because of so many requests for it... was just text w/ 'mr. t pities the fool'... haha. Anyway, if anyone here would rather get a dedicated server instead of a VPS, kimsufi has the super cheap ones again; http://www.kimsufi.com/ie/here's a good list of vps: http://lowendstock.com/ed: and this one, looks like it's better updated now - http://list.lowendserv.net/index.phpHa, that's kinda funny. As far as the VPS (which I'm actually looking for also) do you know of the cheapest/reliable/up to date/modern but geared towards people in US. I'm over in California would prefer Los Angeles based servers. The only VPS I have right now is with Wable ( www.wable.com -- incero) -- they don't have an LA location, though. Seattle and Dallas right now, with New York being added soon. You can shuttle your VPS between any of the locations though, which is nice... I started mine out in Seattle and moved it to Dallas a couple weeks later, np. Takes a minute or so.. Here's a speedtest-cli result from Dallas, TX: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3517120069.pngBut.. for California, delimiter would probably be best: http://www.delimitervps.com/Except you really should wait for a promo. They have 50% off semi-frequently... doesn't seem like there's anything going on right now, though... for VPS, anyway. There is this for dedicated servers, some in LA: http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/568006unsure if it's still active though |

Two of them are in perfect working condition, original fan still works, etc. Those are regular Sapphire 5830's (not xtreme).
The third and fourth are sapphire xtreme 5830's that don't have a fan. You can either ziptie a fan on them (which is what I did), or buy a replacement for around $10/ea.
The working ones, these still go for $55-$75 on eBay (after shipping, and a few outliers at or near $100). I'd want at least $50/ea, since that's about what I'd clear selling one on eBay for $55.
The two w/o a fan, I'd have to list as for parts or not working and I'm too lazy to replace the fans, so I'm open to offers on that. Thinking around $35/ea. Maybe $30 if payed with bitcoins.

Got a brand new xfx 270x. Bought 6 but I couldn't get the 6th card to work in my mobo.
Got a model number? ASIC %? What do you mean by you couldn't get the 6th card to work? Is it defective? I have two MSI 270's (not 270x) and a 7970 that I'd like to get rid of... The 7970 is a powercolor, the 270's are MSI so they have the warranty that transfers. It has about 2 1/2 years left on it. I'd want more than $105 each , though.. |

Morblias does a minimalistic setup so that the node runs at peak efficiency.
....and you know this, how? You can find cheaper VPS on lowendbox.com.. I doubt people would ddos a bitcoin node, seeing there are tons of them, and there's little to gain from ddosing a single node. what probably happened was that your VPS provider was overselling its servers, and are using ddos as an excuse. my node used to get ddos'ed a bunch when blockchain.info actually populated that 'hub nodes' list  |

Hi phillipsjk,
I'm aware of the block size change in the 0.9.* clients; however, I'm not sure that would explain the latency spikes that are currently happening. I've had 0.9.1 installed and running since release and it is only within the past few days that the latency has gone haywire. My normal latency is ~0.4s, which by itself isn't that good since guys running the entire thing in a RAM drive get ~.02s. In the past 2 days, the latency has spent many hours of ~1s latency. It isn't only my node, either. Nothing has changed on my end in terms of hardware/software/load/network traffic/etc. Even if something had changed on my end, it wouldn't be reflected across multiple nodes on the network.
I wish... I'm 100% SSD, have the same latency issue as the rest of us...  Probably someone sending some godawful amount of 'priority' transactions w/ zero fee that sometimes take a while to get into blocks. Your bitcoind client will accept them all unless you've configured it differently.. I remember when all those horsestaplebattery (sp?) transactions were fubar'ing a lot of p2pools |

Then there's a CPU bottleneck to worry about. Your peer does all kinds of cryptographic checks on each downloaded block, so if your CPU is slow, that may even dominate the latency time.
Maybe it's 'cause I have a fast CPU (i7-4700), but my problem was getting peers that uploaded too slow. Each time it requests blocks from some peer w/ little or no upstream, you waste several minutes.. That's why it's better to just connect to one fast peer. |
