No payout after 2 days of mining with p2pool/cgminer/bitcoind @ 65Mh/s

[gworthing]

Or if there was a payout, then don't know where it went.  Everything appears to be working except for not receiving any bitcoins in payout of any amount to any address.  Using linux x64 with latest versions: bitcoind 80100, p2pool 11.2-8-g896c9ed, cgminer 2.11.3.  Any help greatly appreciated!  I've tried unsuccessfully to find the answers in these forums and elsewhere.

Questions:
  - After starting mining, typically how man hours to wait until seeing any payout to some bitcoin address using my setup at 65Mh/s?
  - How to tell what payouts where made and to what bitcoin addresses they were paid out to?
  - If a payout to a bitcoin address is in some kind of intermediate state so it doesn't show up in the bitcoind status, like awaiting verification or whatever, how do you tell?  Is there some way of detecting this and showing the status of whatever it's doing?

Some diagnostic info is below:

You only have 65Mh/s, the difficulty on p2pool is much higher then on regular pools.  I'd recommend using a normal pool, as your variance will be too high otherwise..

Or if there was a payout, then don't know where it went.

The last payout came just after you made your post.

What is worrying me is that you don't seem to know for sure at which address you should expect payment. Did you create a payout address and configure it to pay to it like explained in its README? Using the local bitcoind of a P2Pool node is not a good practice (it should be running on a public address and so may be easier to compromise). See the guide in my signature for additional information.

Given your hashrate you are most certainly not profitable (your electricity costs are probably higher than the value of the Bitcoins you mine) so being paid or not may not be your biggest problem.

How could you possibly know that?  That's just what happened.  I'm dying to find out what info from my post you used to look that up.

It worried me too!  I didn't create a payout address because several of the guides I used said to just rely on the "default" address, supplied by bitcoind.  But as you recommended, I set up an explicit payout address (as the login username of cgminer).

That's OK, just want to get something working for a start.  Optimizations will come later.

p2pool uses the block it finds to pay all miners. Which means all miners are paid at the very same time... I just looked at the timestamp of my last p2pool payment.
