Back to scrypt for a moment, what do people think of TagCoin?

put all these up for mining, they give us interest on all deposits including btc interest

O and thanks for fixing NVC for me   

I'm pretty sure we already mine all the mcxnow scrypt coins.  DVC merged mining is coming soon.

Missing quite a few:
PrimeCoin - XPM
CopperLark -  CLR
Solidcoin - SBC
Devcoin - DVC
also glade you plain on moving btc off the MP rotation Also also , might as well add all the merged mining coins to the mix not just DVC,NMC anyone? And the other dozen or so merged mining coins i cant think of.
Keep it up work .. might just add more gh/s this way

SolidCoin is not a real coin. It's a RealSolid creation and I believe the only place it exists is on mcxNOW. I don't even think it can be mined.
XPM can only be CPU mined now. I have 9 CPUs mining XPM 24x7 and I make just over 2 XPM per day. Maybe if and when there's a bona fide GPU miner for XPM.
CopperLark is a flakey SHA-3 coin that can only be mined with a special edition of Reaper. Who needs it.
DevCoin will be merged mined, as flound has said several times.

Let's focus on coins that can actually make a miner money. If I want mcxNOW BTC interest I sell my coins at BTC-e or Cryptsy and transfer them. No biggie.

And I agree, flound's doing a great job. His next problem might be dealing with the heavy sha-256 traffic to come

I just checked BTC stats and see that 2 TerraHash miners have already moved in. I'm shrinking by the minute

I'm at 43 now on the BFL little single..  Pretty close to what I had (32)

BTW, have you gotten any feedback from others running Block Erupter BLADES?  The multipool works fine for me for all SHA-256 coins EXCEPT BTC, now that p2pool is in place (love the idea though!).  I've tried a few settings on my mining_proxy.py, but nothing seems to help (-nm, -rt, etc).  I get tons of "errors on Deferred" or some such (am at work so don't have logs handy).  Any ideas?

Anyone else?

Help page has been updated with P2Pool info.  Please read!

https://www.multipool.us/help.php

The Help page looks complete.

"Q: Do we pay extra fees to mine via P2Pool?
 A: Multipool currently donates 0.5% of mining profits to the P2Pool authors."

I interpret this to mean miners pay 1.5% + 0.5% = 2.0% when mining BTC. Is that right?

Yes that's correct.  However, since we are now paying out tx fees, it should work out close to or better than even for miners.

[flound1129]

I was thinking about the BTC payouts earlier and I'm going to change the payout a little to be more fair to the newer miners (I don't want to lose hash because newer users aren't getting close to the payout they expect.)

Rather than keeping a month's worth of shares until 30 BTC are paid out, I'm going to drop 10 days worth of shares after every 7.5 BTC.

I think this is fairer to both old and new users.  It sucks, but the original miners (myself included) on the BTC port knew the risks of mining BTC with such a low hashrate.  We can't punish new users and force them to absorb our bad luck.

None of these coins are scrypt.  SC, XPM, and CL are all different algorithms.  I believe SC and CL can only be mined with Reaper.

I might make a scrypt-jane multiport in the future, if there is demand for it.  But right now, the coins that use it don't seem incredibly profitable.

The p2pool node is running on a fairly beefy VPS, so I don't anticipate having capacity issues anytime soon.

Sounds like python errors..  Deferred is a twistd thing.  But our p2pool BTC port supports both Getwork and Stratum, so you could conceivably point your block erupters directly at it without going thru the proxy.  (However this wouldn't work on the multiport)

[Aurum]

...we are now paying out transaction fees...

That was my next question. I read that as BTC difficulty increases that mining income will essentially become almost all transaction fees. Does that seem reasonable? I'm hoping sha-256 mining stays profitable long enough to recoup the investment in ASICs. Which begs the question is it really a profit until you've recouped your capital investment?

Block Eruptors: Mine haven't worked on the p2p BTC so I just point them at PPC. Please let us know when you figure out how to get the diff low enough to try again.

Which is why I didn't want to go straight to p2pool on it - the multiport is the cool thing that I'm after to take advantage of the optimized mining.  Not sure why I would be getting python errors when the multiport works fine with it for all coins except BTC, and I've had it working for a variety of other pools as well.  Argh.  I know the scrypt multipool has getwork - any chance of one for the SHA-256 multi?  (he asked hoping but remembering you saying something about that not being workable for some reason...)

If you can post the errors you're getting here, I can try to help you debug.  There should not be any reason that stratum proxy won't work with p2pool.

Thanks flound, here's the output that comes out no matter which mining_proxy.py switches I use, but only when the multipool is on BTC, below.  I used "python mining_proxy.py -i /tmp/prox.pid -o stratum.mining.eligius.st -p 3334" to invoke mining_proxy.py, BTW.

It looks like a bug in stratum-proxy.  It can't stay connected to p2pool for some reason.

It's been reported here 3 months ago:  https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy/issues/29

On another note, I am fucking done with trying to make the sortable table on the stats page work.  I have spent about 10 hours trying to get this piece of shit JQuery plugin to work and it's not happening.  If someone wants hero status, grab the table HTML off the stats page and send me working JS.

Thanks, flound!  Looks like no solution yet, unfortunately.  Wish I had come across that in my searches, but I definitely appreciate the hand.

Would it be possible to use the per-coin tables?
((those found at like: https://www.multipool.us/my_stats.php?curr=btc))

This table:

Your Detailed Stats - BTC
10 Minute Hash Rate   7762 Mh/s
Valid Round Shares   1104572
Invalid Round Shares   157.5770492553711
Your Efficiency   99.99%
Est. Coins/Block   0.0019
Est. Coins/Day   0.0076
Worker Uptime (last 24h)   10:28:48 (43.67%)
Lifetime Total BTC Earned   0.000974443
Total BTC Donated   0.0000359005
Current N (Round Time)   74 Hours 26 Minutes

And just setup a table that displays them all?

It seems that the table listed above has many of the same variables listed in the 'new' stats page.

[fizzmine]

ah back to mp and getting 74 diff at time of post mining btc... with only 1gh/s

2nd thought its working even at 64 diff i can see my hashes   and submitting shares
think we are good

3rd thought its taking wayyyy to long to submit shares... ~ 5 mins per share = not good @ 47 diff @ 1 gh/s

It shouldn't *really* matter all that much..  But I'll work on getting custom difficulty implemented.

Same issue here, I'm going to have to take my block erupter farm off of multiport for the time being.  diffs of ~50-100+ are killing those little 333MH/s guys.  Huge reject and HW error rate.

[Aurum]

...done with trying to make the sortable table on the stats page work.

Personally I don't need sortable tables. I'd like to see a separate stats page for sha and scrypt, in alphabetical order by coin ticker, and use the same font as the table above so the whole table can be seen on one screen.

Also, I miss the horizontal menu you used to have on every stats page so I could jump from coin to coin.

[disclaimer201]

Wonder if I will ever be able to cash out the btc dust I generated by mining before p2pool. I cannot connect my 2.5 gh hashbusters since the switch, or it makes very little sense getting shares only once in a while. Too bad, I wish it would work because I love the multiport option for future mining of sha-coins.

It seems that you've got some problems with the colspans in the tables, and jQuery doesn't understand properly what it has to order. If I can I will send you a template before this weekend so it can be fixed!

WOOT FOUND A BLOCK!

Multipool is now on the map as a BTC mining pool

<3 u guys

[flound1129]

Custom diff is now working for BTC p2pool.
