Actually how do I use the "--address" option with merged mining?
Do I use a "," to separate them?
Thanks!
You can't specify an address for the merged chain (yet). The merged mining still needs some work. The address is currently fetched automatically via the RPC Ok, so I have put the same wallet(s) on all my mining machines, hence they all use the same addresse(s). Is that an ok workaround? Thank you! Why don't you just point all your miners to one p2pool merged mining instance? I have 3 miners but only run one p2pool, bitcoind, and namecoind. Yeah. Do that. Way simpler. I run 2 p2pool instances so that I can upgrade without any downtime. I run most of my systems as VMs, so it's easy for me to have lots of systems. |

The documents are done, so, everybody with little Linux or Windows knowledge can run your P2Pool node in minutes after waiting hours for the blockchain to download...
FTFY  You don't have to sit in front of the computer with bated breath waiting for the block chain to download.  In fact, some people were mentioning that they didn't want to lose mining time while getting P2Pool running. Well, you don't have to. While continuing to mine at your usual pool, install bitcoin (if you don't have it installed already, shame on you for not running a node  ) and go to sleep, then work. Come home and the block chain is downloaded. Install P2Pool and get everything working properly. Finally point your miners at your P2Pool instead of your usual pool. Total time in front of the computer, 10 - 15 minutes. Total mining downtime, 2 seconds. I did it with no downtime. I added my p2pool settings to my miner before even setting up the pool. As soon as the pool was up, cgminer switched to it instantly. I just think it should be made very clear that you have to have the whole blockchain downloaded for p2pool to run and that the shares are not difficulty 1. So many people keep on asking about both those things. |

We need a Bitcoin 100 for Musicians.
If someone could setup a site that sells bitcoin for mp3s mp3s for bitcoins or just get an artist to accept bitcoins on their own site, that would be awesome.

Can you make something similar for tor onion domain?
This can be a good start: https://github.com/neoeinstein/purpleonionI used VS2010, and with some simple fix it works. It uses CPU. It will be really good if someone build a GPU version Only for the crappy windows systems btw i just found this from another topic https://github.com/katmagic/Shallotbut still too slow to get a good result. Too slow? It can do 6 characters in 30 minutes on a crappy processor. What name are you trying to make? I was looking into shallot, but I think having namecoin point to an onion address is better. |

P2Pool shares are much more difficult than traditional pool shares, so don't be alarmed. It looks like you should expect a share every 3.9 hours on average.
Can we put this in BIG GIANT RED letters somewhere? It seems like every third post is someone asking why its taking so long to get shares... |

So I don't have the cable to upload pics, but I got the syrup a few days ago. It's delicious.
I also made chocolate chip cookies with the maple sugar that were really good.

I've been working on a self-contained network-provisioned bitcoind + namecoind + p2pool USB stick. I had horrible problems with bitcoind getting stuck for minutes at a time.
I came up with a solution, but it isn't pretty. I run bitcoind entirely out of RAM now.
I have precisely this setup working here... BTW, I also have Devcoin and Litecoin working... My USB stick have 8G... My machine have 1G of RAM... Cheers! Thiago Wonder what that will do to the lifespan of your flash drive. Might be faster to install a small HD for the blockchains but still run the OS from the flash drive. Of course if you are doing that, might as well just run the whole OS from the HD... |

So I have p2pool running on an ubuntu server with python 2.7. I wanted to setup a backup pool and so I installed everything on a debian server. If I specify all of the command line options, it starts fine. But "--help" gives an error. [user@p2pool p2pool]$ ./run_p2pool.py --help

Well it loaded, but took like 30 seconds and the CSS didn't load fully  |

*7* blocks in one day. That definitely covers the unlucky streak  8! |

FEATURE REQUEST: Could P2Pool load config values from a file, and accept a parameter to tell it where to put its data? This would be nice to have, instead of passing a massive long command line to it.

I like the idea of BitSafe, but theres security vulnerabilities being patched all the time. I feel more comfortable using a live cd built specifically for security and anonymity.
Being for 99.9% a Debain stable distribution, I have very little to say about security updates and patches. I deliberately choose stable over testing for that specific reason. That said, the main purpose of this software is to give the most secure environment to keep your bitcoin, anonymity is more about using them in a safe way, so I think it will always be secondary. If your priorities are different than you probably need something else I'm talking about these: http://www.debian.org/security/2012/They usually have patches for both oldstable, stable, and unstable. The vulnerability in ffmpeg are probably less of a worry than the oones in openssl, iceweasel, and ecryptfs-utils. |

many financial firms handling forex and algo trading already buy locations as close as possible to major trunks just to gain a few ms in response time.
One Wilshire ftw. I think, well, if someone makes a simple guide for beginners ..with pictures.. . like this. I did it in Russian. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62698.0Lol! imageban.ru is blocked in US government for "pornography"  Um, not it's not. It is in MD Likely still not. States don't block webpages (yet and hopefully ever). Are you sure its not your office or DNS or ISP? |

I stangly get between 70-200MH on here still although i have no miners mining to it. Seems to be a bug with CGMiner i think. Weird
Do you have it set as a failover pool still? I'm pretty sure that whenever you get a LP or its taking too long to get work, cgminer will shift to another pool for a share or few. |

I've started using a Tails Live CD and an encrypted flash drive with scripts similar to what you wrote for BitSafe. I like the idea of BitSafe, but theres security vulnerabilities being patched all the time. I feel more comfortable using a live cd built specifically for security and anonymity. |

Edit: I'm thinking of adding --api-allow IP[/N],IP2[/N2]...
not sure about deprecating --api-network - but probably easiest to just leave it (unless ckolivas has a preference about that) I think, as a general rule of thumb, it should be possible for any network service to accept connections from any IP, making it possible to restrict this is good, but IMHO --api-network shouldn't be deprecated unless --api-allow will accept *[/*]. While this won't likely ever affect me, it would affect anyone that wants to monitor rigs in a datacenter from a home computer with a dynamic IP, especially one where the ISP forces IP changes daily or more frequently. Then I guess next would be to add security also Meh, I've written security stuff in Java (it's there already) but never C, I guess I should read up ... but then windows appears in the middle of it all and makes you wanna run screaming from the room ... ssh tunnels are nice and easy Anyway - yes I think I'd prefer to leave --api-network and add --api-allow as a second option. (/me adds it to the list of things I should get done) I think the flags work well as they are. Theres firewalls and hosts.allow for limiting access, so I don't see any reason to add it to cgminer. |

- I am not sure where you got the idea of 1% fee in p2pool. But if you check the coinbase transactions in p2pool mined block, you can look for yourself that it is not so.
Well if there is an optional parameter that defaults to giving the author 1% of each found block....idk.. i would call that not free Giving 0.5% is too much for you? Then put --give-author 0 and it's free. If you couldn't disable donating, then I would agree with you that p2pool isn't free. But as you said, it is optional, so you are wrong. |

Very helpful. I already have my p2pool running, and it looks like we did all of the same things.
