hmm so we currently have a bunch of independent p2pools, what about some kind of co-op venture? Entry requirements would be minimum datacentre spec and server resources as well as all nodes in the co-op would need to be merge mining and paying back those coins to the pool. i.e. the co-op all pays to one set of wallets to be converted and paid back as mdude has already set up.
we can call it co-pool the p2pool co-op that guarantees uptime, security and performance across geographically distributed nodes. (just an idea lol)
Anyway, what say you?
I like the idea. That said, I'm not sure I can commit to uptime for my node. Once my host has brought it down for a few hours to migrate it (didn't tell me), and once they were down completely for an hour or so (didn't tell me). Plus I'm still learning the ropes of running a linux p2pool node. M I'm lucky to have some free compute on Azure. They have a nice load balancer that can now point to external endpoints. I wonder if we could have something like that automatically load balancing between nodes to ensure uptime. would need to do some testing on that... if anyone has a company or registered for a business number or is a student I highly recommend trying to get into BizSpark or dreamspark as they both offer free MSDN benefits that include Azure compute credit. It also gives you the option of deploying to many different geographic regions and they offer both windows and Linux vm's. |

you need to pretty up your front end a bit. Happy to share some of my code if you like, just ask.  |

is there any way to store stats in a db or even flat file so that when you restart a node you don't loose the share, uptime and hashing stats of the pool?
I imagine we could pull the json feeds into a db table then make the front end pull those stats from there but hoping there is a simpler way.

ok, I have done the same. What about also writing it in the front page? I can add yours in the green box like an ad. ??
Sure, I've added a line recommending you as a backup node. btw what interface are you using? I like the more rounded looking graph, care to share some of your interface code? I now have a new front end also at www.norgzpool.net.au |

maybe we need a list of nodes running on high quality data centers. my node is on the Microsoft Azure cloud so pretty damned stable and fast.
Using Azure I hope to deploy several nodes around the region being Singapore and Australia. Might do one in the US also just to provide a node out there.
Where are we in most need of high quality nodes?

Nice post, even with very low hashing power I've moved to a p2pool node and have made it public on both BTC with merged mining and an ltc node.
Happy to help anyone wanting to setup one or move their miners over to a p2 node.

Aside from best practice what advantages does it bring. How and what is bluematts backbone network?
|
|

|

So when you do a -n and connect to another node. what advantages does that have exactly? You get connections anyway right so why specify why to connect to specifically?
(I get if you run those nodes and want them permanently connected, more interested in why you would do this to another node not run by you).

Hi,
Why don't we help each other? I can add your address to my pool and you can do the same: p2poolthailand.com:9332 or p2pool.asia:9332
I have added your node to my Config. Next time I restart it will be connecting to your node. |

only unfortunate thing is my merged coins do not seem to be paying out to the wallets. I see new work for merged coming in but doesn't seem to be dumping any in the wallets. IT used to work. Any known gotchas that may stop merged coins from paying out?
You have to find shares of high enough difficulty to solve a block of the merged coins. If you happen to find the share that solves the BTC block, then by default you'll also find blocks of every coin you're merge-mining because the BTC hash will satisfy every other one. Effectively you're solo mining the merged coins. Which is why I'm trying to get a movement started for all the p2pool nodes to convert their merged mining proceeds to BTC and share it with the entire pool. That way we're all effectively merge mining together. I took the first step and shared the proceeds from the block I got on my node. M I'm right there with you. I think it's a great idea and hope every p2pool miner who runs a node follows suit. Yeah I'm on that wagon. Just waiting for some decent coinage before sending through. I've only got one set of very small dumps so far. |

Sure, I'll look at that today 😊 |

hi guys iv finally got a coin live. just cannot get it to connect from my miner on another network. how the heck do i do it lol iv forwarded parts and that cant find a decent guide without doge coin being mentioned 7 billion times
What coin are you trying to set up? i was trying to set up bonus and hunter coin. but the bonus dev has told me the coder knows theres major issues with his code reg p2p pools. and huc well its a beast! i have just set up a joulecoin p2p pool currently testing it with my rig that is hosted at a friends house. everythings set up i think router wise. p2pool is spitting out spurious crud looking for workers so fingers crossed it works look for the new merged work log. also when it starts up p2pool will report if it can connect to the wallet rpc port. you can set p2pool to write to a log file to make it a bit easier. I have not tried those coins but I've got nmc, ixc and dvc all working on my node. i will be upscaling after sucessfull test. am i right in thinking that i only have to open xxxx ports to my pc ip adress being 192.168.1.2? and then use my public ip as the connection for the rig? iv googled my external ip obviously cant test from internally p.s p2pool says 1 connection :-) just not a miner. but i presume 1 incoming connection means its set up if you have your miners on the same network then connect on that internal IP. Otherwise you have one inbound port for miners 9332 and one for peer connections from other nodes 9333 then the inbound ports for whatever coin node you are running. Bitcoin is 8333. |

yeeehh harrrrr p2pool is like a bucking bull at a rodeo. buck an orphan off but slam down a couple to make up for it. AND someone has started hashing on my node so boosted the hash rate by quite a bit. Good for node sats |

Thanks, I had not seen that before.

What's with that last payout? There were two close together then one got revoked and now My wallet is now marked with a warning.

nice work mate, I got my little piece of that. I just want to get my stats up and some more drops into the merged wallets (only one hit so far) then i'll send them on to your pay back wallet.
Congrats on the additional miner and keep up the good work.
