[trc] [p2pool] public TRC p2pool 0fee - now 1%fee donations to terracoin

[bitcoinreactor]

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
(prefer the stratum interface if your miner supports it ; you'll get better results)

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.

UPDATE MAy 30th 2014:
now running at 1%fee level, going directly to terracoin donation address (obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/terracoin/)

updated to 0.1.3-36

[bitcoinreactor]

TRC node updated to 0.1.3-44

p2pool node updated with not-yet-released p2pool code from https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/pull/123 to support post 175k chain.
(p2pool share chain was also reset in the process, to exclude shares from non-175038 chains).

[bitcoinreactor]

as opposed to existing p2pool installations until that code is released, this one works on current chain (the one still stuck at block 175038)

Thank you for updating!

The main p2pool is still on the old chain with about 50Gh of power, which is more than all the other pools combined. (Two big pools are suspended until the dust clears.) Really hope they upgrade main pool soon!

[roy7]

Spoke to forrest on irc. He will try to clean that patch up and get it merged with official tree. However since p2pool is decentralized, miners need to upgrade their trc clients themselves. So that's a lot of wasted hash power we can't easily get upgraded. Doh!

[bitcoinreactor]

<reverse / website / ip> you're sending malformed shares, is your TRC node on the right chain ?

what is your last TRC block seen? what's its hash ?

will drop packets from your ip in a few moments if it continues.

EDIT: ip and hostnames removed for anonymity reasons.

I've just updated to latest GIT HEAD versin of terracoind and patched p2pool with patch from https://github.com/terracoin/p2pool/commit/14b0b75a6aba00304390b7d09fbf6563181732fd

It's just caught up with the terracoin blockchain in the last 10 or so minutes, is it still sending bad shares?

Edit: Last block is 175009 (0000000000033fb8ab001472177229afcba92c4e99681f6360adc444a0bc38b3)

[bitcoinreactor]

seeing your p2pool graphs & stats, it looks like you did not reset your p2pool share chain, i guess that's why your p2pool tries to send "malformed" shares

or have you kept statistics, while resetting p2pool share chain prior to starting it?

Ah, let me do that now.

[bitcoinreactor]

also note that this p2pool installation is fully "experimental" as code was not yet merged into p2pool by its author ; it may be rejected or heavily modified thus making the switch incompatible.

It's just a temporary measure to get a p2pool installation working on top of current TRC blockchain

Ok, that's been done, is it any better now?

terracoind now has 175043 (0000000000001652281c106c8c234c8a61468f1646354b1c349a83b1ca85c250)

looks quite good, thanks a lot
sorry if my first post appeared 'aggressive', i wanted to keep this experiment as clean as possible, although probably quite temporary

That's what i had for that block too, another one was apparently mined  (175044) since, things may start to move again

No worries

TRC finally got past the peak difficulty and is heading back down.

I do have to laugh at my rate versus the pool rate though:

Code:

2013-07-29 12:14:05.819491 P2Pool: 1279 shares in chain (1283 verified/1283 total) Peers: 2 (0 incoming)
2013-07-29 12:14:05.819817  Local: 1675MH/s in last 10.0 minutes Local dead on arrival: ~1.3% (0-4%) Expected time to share: 18.5 seconds
2013-07-29 12:14:05.820020  Shares: 71 (0 orphan, 6 dead) Stale rate: ~8.5% (3-18%) Efficiency: ~107.6% (97-113%) Current payout: 0.9669 TRC
2013-07-29 12:14:05.820229  Pool: 441MH/s Stale rate: 14.9% Expected time to block: 46.3 days

What time frame is that pool rate calculated over?

i'm really affraid first "oscillations" will be quite big before smaller adjustments appears

not sure, i've seen weird values too, it will grow relatively quickly, then will take way more time to decrease, p2pool probably prevent hoping this way. It also looks affected by number of peers somehow.
Pool hashrate varied in a much bigger way with your new peer entering the game (decreased, that is. almost  divided by 2).

Not sure what you mean by decreased by half?
