[HOWTO] Setup a p2pool for Feathercoin

[bumbox]

https://github.com/skralg/p2pool-feathercoin.git

Indeed this version works great for me. At least now I can see the full network on my local node.

The skralg code seems to be much cleaner and complete from having a quick browse of it. Also looks like the IDENTIFIER was changed here on purpose. I got that running now on pool.maeh.org. Press your thumbs!

Here you go: https://github.com/skralg/p2pool-feathercoin.git

This is the one that I am using for http://p2pool.org

Seems to be working good.

Looks good, i see it has a seed. Will try it tomorrow(past bedtime). But i see incompatible changes in this version, i.e. it mungles up some litecoin things. (example: https://github.com/skralg/p2pool-feathercoin/commit/bb5b1edbf0e95565bed127281a88a13df8d7cf77  )

Would it be possible to keep it clean, and just add feathercoin things, that way the changes can be pushed into the original p2pool repository. That would be most convenient, rather than tracking forks and debating over which to use.

^ If answer to above is no, then let me know, ill fork the upstream p2pool, use your identifier, prefix and seed and redo the changes such that it doesnt mungle up other coins and apply for pull request.

Am I crazy or what?

I have a 7970 and when I point it to the pool it never shows an accepted share or is that normal?

Just new blocks and work restarts.

I never mine scrypt so this is confusing me.

I think no.
Here is my 7970 on local node of skralg p2pool:

Code:

 GPU 1:  74.0C 3702RPM | 734.4K/736.8Kh/s | A:524 R:0 HW:0 U:  31.71/m I:13

[nesic1]

just found another post mile long so will read it now, it has some answers

tyrion how you set fee 1%?

-f 1

where 1 is fee

is this fee goes to your account? where you put code for fee and adress on which it should be sent

What does your config look like?

Thanks for posting the link to skralg git, seems like it works.

By "accepted shares" do you mean the shares in p2pool chain or the shares shown in miners? Cgminer shows a lot of shares accepted (as on the bumbox's "screenshot"), but those aren't "real" p2pool shares, afaik they're just there for hashrate calculation. It might take a while to get "real" shares with p2pool, I've setup a node and connected my home workers to it about half an hour ago, and with ~ 11 Mhash/sec I've got 5 shares accepted by p2pool so far, 2 of which are orphaned. Whether it's ok or not to have so few shares accepted I'm not sure myself, let's see how others are doing.

[bumbox]

Here is it:

Code:

./cgminer --scrypt -o http://10.10.10.10:8080 -u x -p x --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --gpu-engine 940,1050,1120,1120 --gpu-memclock 1350,1500,1450,1600

7970 is a second card with 1050/1500 and flashed bios.

[Jude Austin]

It's really weird.

None of my GPUs will mine scrypt.

None, lol.

And yes, I know how to tune for scrypt.

But when I run them they never get shares and the diff is really high according to cgminer for each share.

I don't understand what the issue could be.

[LeftToeCut]

Could anyone throw a few hashes this way > http://ftc-cryptocoin.pagekite.me to see if it works?

I am getting 0 shares with this git clone , according to the stats page anyway.

[nesic1]

did you change pool fee and how do you do it? also how you put your address to receive fee?

[LeftToeCut]

run_p2pool.py --net litecoin -a YourFTCfeePayoutAddress -f 1 --give-author 0 --w 19327 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9336 --bitcoind-rpc-port 9337 rpcadmin yourgoodpasswordfromfeathercoin.confhere

-a YourFTCfeePayoutAddress
-f x where x is the fee amount

[bumbox]

run_p2pool.py --net litecoin -a YourFTCfeePayoutAddress -f 1 --give-author 0 --w 19327 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9336 --bitcoind-rpc-port 9337 rpcadmin yourgoodpasswordfromfeathercoin.confhere

-a YourFTCfeePayoutAddress
-f x where x is the fee amount

For the skralg's version it is needed to use:

Code:

--net feathercoin

[nesic1]

will test it now, thank you for your reply

[nesic1]

ImportError: cannot import name MAXREPEAT

i get this at step
cd litecoin_scrypt
            C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install

[erk]

Working but doesn't seem to be many other peers


EDIT: nevermind I was following the instructions at the start of the thread with the -net litecoin flag, when I read further and installed the updated version which uses the -net feathercoin falg all is good.
