P2Pool Detailed Settings for Altcoins

[scratchy]

Hey,

i got trouble running a new fresh p2pool node.

Got everything up and running and it seems its working...

P2Pool nodes connect to each other.. stratum works everything seems fine..

Exept there p2pool nodes doesnt generate any shares..

I tried to bootstrap the shares with persist = False but it doesnt work.


Also i got a lot of spam of:

Code:

Worker asdgasd submitted share with hash > target:
Hash:   ba14c750915d8d67b76e6dce4874360d7fbf7d2a7feeb925743cb47b03597d1f
Target: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Any idears how to properly bootstrap? Does the bootstrapping node may have to find a Block first?

Any suggestions would be nice

[CartmanSPC]

A block should not need to be found. Which p2pool is this for? Link?

[scratchy]

i tried different ones.
for example this one:
https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool

I also tried to "bootstrap" on bitcoin testnetwork. (deleted all bootstrap addresses), launched with persist=false and changed identifiers but the sharechain just stays empty.

i used p2pool_run.py --testnet

Everything went fine, even with connected nodes, but i the share chain is still empty ..

So overall: im unable to start the initial chain

[scratchy]

Tried also your fork:

https://github.com/CartmanSPC/p2pool

its not possible to deploy it on Bitcoin Testnet network =(.
Share chain stays empty ..

Great info found here, it has helped me get rolling on creating the new files for OSC - OpenSourceCoin. (ocoin) https://github.com/bryceweiner/OSC/tree/master/src

I'd like to run a "solo" P2Pool with my AntMiner S1's mining OSC, but I have not been able to find a fork that had anything for ocoin.

Here is what I have so far:

The P2Pool starts and connects, but scrolls a few error messages highlighted in bold below:  (I've gone ahead and removed a lot of the repetitive errors)

// Subsidy is cut in half every 400 thousand blocks
nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 400000);

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  FYI, I used the files from another coin which works fine (XJO - Joulecoin) as a template to make the files for OSC.

Thanks!

Little question: I'd like to host a p2pool node for XMG. XMG uses the M7M algo, so I guess there are some other modifications necessary, not just the values in the networks.py?

You are correct. You would have to compile in support for that algo. Can't help much more as I have personally not tried compiling in anything other than SHA and Scrypt. I know there is support for x11 and possibly others but have never looked into any of them.

Would you be interested in checking it out? The Magi (XMG) developer is interested in P2Pool but we need someone who has experience with. If you are interested (I guess bounty would be available), please contact Joe Lao https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=182342

can anyone help me to create p2pool for Ravencoin?

Did you bother to look at the last year this thread was posted too.... February 2015.

It is dead.
