Opening a public terracoin p2pool, 0fee :

statistics: http://pool.bitcoinreactor.com:9322/static/
fee: 0

miner settings:
login: your TRC payment address
password: anything
url: http://pool.bitcoinreactor.com:9322/    or    stratum+tcp://pool.bitcoinreactor.com:9322

disclaimer:
i take no responsibility for p2pool or TRC problems/bugs.
Mine a few shares then double check your numbers

Note to relatively big hashing farm owners :
you can choose the difficulty exposed to your miner by appending something to your username (trc payment address) :
yourPaymentAddress/+X
where X is the choosen difficulty.


Some statistics :
pool rate : between 8 and 10 - 12 GH/s
current share difficulty: 70 - 80
found blocks in last 3 days : 3

someone recently managed to submit p2pool shares on a forked TRC chain (he left since), but beside that found blocks are on the "real" trc chain.

updated with unofficial patch from https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/pull/133

Was tired of seing blocks from random chains accepted by p2pool.
I'm not sure this patch will be included in p2pool mainstream code though, it's been sitting for a while there now.

If you wish to join this new "experience" install a fresh copy of p2pool patched with above link (networks.py got updated) and enjoy

You're mining here at your own risk, be warned

i'm monitoring that pull request and will post follow-ups here. Adding a note on this p2pool installation regarding the applied patch.

FYI looks like your pull request was all merged in. Nice to see you are still running strong and the p2pool network has grown so large.

i did not submit that pull request but i was following terracoin account activity and saw that upcoming p2pool update for trc.

it's been 7 months since that request was merged, but yeah .. trc p2pool network still looks quite good, with a decent foundblocks rate

Haven't estimated the whole trc network hashrate for a while, but i'd say (rough estimation) p2pool sits around 10 to 20% of the total hashrate, which looks quite good to me.



FYI: i just reverted http://pool.bitcoinreactor.com:9322/ to p2pool default frontend, because of missing/invalid data on the previously used extendedFrontend.


offtopic: damn ... i miss the old 'alternate cryptocurrencies' silent forum stop reading it for a few hours and you get loads of new posts to read

p2pool updated using code submitted by 'terracoin' at https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/pull/199 to use the new blockexplorer.

[bitcoinreactor]

Now running with 1% fee directly  going towards terracoin hosting and development costs (using terracoin donation address, from http://sourceforge.net/projects/terracoin/)

This will hopefully help the trc project,without having any noticeable impact on your mining earnings (1% fee is still under many live mining pool fees).

Those donations should be visible once a given number of p2pool shares have been found locally, if i understood how p2pool manages the --fee argument

Also updated with terracoin pull request https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/pull/199

great! found our first block in less than 24 hours :-)

and yes, 0.18 TRC went to the terracoin project donation address ; this is not that much yet, but will hopefully get bigger over time with new miners joining.

[bitcoinreactor]

some of you probably already noticed, this p2pool node was updated during the night with the latest changes pushed by terracoin.

Let's hope this is the last update before it gets into p2pool main repos! i'll keep an eye on it and watch pool stats.

P2Poolorg has shut down their altcoin nodes, redirecting btc; has anyone been working on a new public port for altcoin nodes? Please advise on other public mining pools that allow for unfettered access to coins being mined.
