Just started using p2pool again today and I have a quick question. Does the --p2pool-node flag support DNS lookups or can it only do IP addresses? I have a friend nearby that I'd like to be always connected to, but he has a dynamic IP.
To everyone and anyone who might be jumping back on the bandwagon, make sure you're using the latest version of p2pool! Don't dust off the version you had when you used it last!! M Yeah, I know; I'm on an entirely new Ubuntu install so I had to download the newest version. Does anybody know the answer to my question though? Just try it, see if it works or not... won't hurt anything to experiment  -- Smoov |

first he need to join network, increase his hashrate, this can be done by ddosing pools or by adding his hashrate.
Whatever he needs to get his total hashpower more than 50%.
If he does this, we can see the network hashrate going weird.
Then he needs to add his forked blockchain & since he has 51%, the network will take his block chain as correct one, all will have his blockchain.
Then he needs to play with the network & do what he wants.
um, no, he'd have to get the hashpower down first, and THEN join the network. All joining first, and then trying to get the hashpower down, will accomplish, is to begin the reorg before he is ready, and his chain is likely to fail at that point. Assuming he doesn't already have what would end up being 51% when he finally does rejoin. If he already has it, then he has no need to DDoS the pools to give it to him. In either case, by the time we see that graph change significantly, the attack is under way at that point. Either from the reorg, or the pools going down (and no idea how responsive the graph is. since p2pool is so under-represented from what its actual rate is, I question its accuracy as well) -- Smoov |

Yes, but it must show when he attacks & i think he already said he started attacking.
I doubt you'll see it, until he has actually rejoined the network, and either the reorg has completed, or the reorg failed and we resume mining on whichever chain has won. -- Smoov |

Already the hash rate gone up & the hash rate for unknown is less than 42% That means no attack can be done now.  Wouldn't that assume, that his fork, was being built within the same group that graph detects? Since he was doing it isolated, intending to merge it later, I don't see any reason why he'd show up on it. The attack can still happen, we don't know how much hash power is working on the fork. -- Smoov edit: P2Pool is still incorrect. It should be showing between 10-12MH/s. |

Real question is, why hasn't the exchange halted trading then if they stand to lose?
They'll lose only if someone transfers LTC to/from exchange's account. Trading inside an exchange is safe. Well... relatively safe... Funds deposited into the exchange during the forking period, may become invalid, so the exchange ends up with more LTC trading in the system, than it took in through deposits, post-fork. Since we're talking a 3-day period that is being attempted, and the fact LTC's value is still so low, they may not think of that as a big enough deal to audit it, and just balance it out themselves with their own funds. My opinion if I was in their position... .. . -- Smoov ps: need a failover? feel free to add my public node, below. I've set the fee to 0% for the time being. There are a few other public LTC p2pools, can be found on the p2pmine list and the P2pool Server List thread. use your LTC address that you want coins generated to, as your username... password can be anything. |

Yes, i'm running 24/7.
p2pool tells me my hash rate is much lower then my actual mining speed (about 60%) and whenever my miner finds a new share it's not added to the p2pool count.
I recently started it and my miner tells me i found 50 shares (all accepted), p2pool says 15?
very confused...
What miner is being used... got failovers set up? -- Smoov |

Since p2pool generates its own work locally, I see no point even asking the mining software to roll the time if it's going to roll it itself.
So if I hack the p2pool code, and remove the X-Roll-NTime header altogether as a short term fix, that would make cgminer stop rolling and my problem would be gone? Super easy  I will try it right away. Thank you! What is the difference between using long-polling, and not using long-polling, and since it is a 10-second interval anyways, is there any real need for long-polling to begin with? (requesting a little enlightenment about it) -- Smoov |

ah, nice.
i think I'll still leave 'em all off though, just cause my bitcoind has over 1000 connections and i don't want more load on my server =p
and it's still @ 5.9.24.81 port 9332 1000 connections?! If you don't mind my asking, what is your upstream for that? If your upstream isn't thick enough when bitcoind spikes to send a new block, having that many could be counter-productive. -- Smoov |

Can someone please explain to me why my local rate chart shows toal mean area 314Mhs for a week and 22Mhs Dead Mean yet P2Pool stats page only shows me @ 194Mhs and is normally way below what my live stats shows.
Thx
The chart is averaged out over the period the chart is displaying, and the stats shown in the console, are averaged out over the past 10 minutes or so, based on your diff-1 share submission, so luck will play a part too. -- Smoov |

Oh, that reminds me... I wonder if they'd be willing, in addition to the coffee warmer, make one with 2 or 4 asics in it, that doubles as a hot-air popcorn popper... .. . Or I'm sure a ceramic-coated, PFC-free, metal pan would act as a pretty tremendous heat-sink for use as an oil-based popping solution. Either way, I think you are onto something with ASIC-based popcorn makers. I would buy at least one  I'm sure the guys over at /r/subredditdrama would buy them in droves. The BitWok! For those of us who love our stir-fry... -- Smoov |
