[1500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool

[jonnybravo0311]

In the last post are you saying that each miner should be a S3+ or higher per miner or a total of each user hash rates of all miners assigned the one payout address. I have 7 s3+ mining on my node and there all using the same Pay out address.  this seems to work ok, or would it be better to assign each miner there own payout address.

I also have 5 S2 that are pointing to a other pool. that seem to average 8-9 blocks a day so they make about double what my 7 S3+ do on p2pool node.

I was saying that minimal entry would be about an S3+ worth of hashing power.  You're doing the same thing I do - all my S3 use the same address to mine, so my node thinks I've got about 4TH/s (well, less now because I'm doing some testing).  As for earnings, there are a number of threads showing how p2pool has done compared to other pools.  Over the long run (since January of this year when then experiment began for BTCGuild and Eligius, and since July when BAN opened its door), p2pool has out-earned Eligius, BTCGuild and BAN.

You're doing just fine if you've found 8 shares in 24 hours.  A quick and easy way to check and see what the p2pool network thinks your hashing power is, go to http://minefast.coincadence.com/p2pool-stats.php and click on the Active Miners tab.  Find your address in that list.  If it shows higher than your actual hash rate, you've found more shares than average.  If it's lower, you've found fewer shares than you should have.

I just cjecked the link you posted.  I am doing great.  Est is almost 3.6Th and i am averaging about 3TH according to my local pool hash rate. 

Do you mine in P2pool only or are you balanced between morn then one pool.

[jonnybravo0311]

I've mined in p2pool since the end of March, with forays into other pools every now and then to see what they were about.  Always ended up back here.  I like running my own node and the concept of p2pool.

[jcumins]

I really like it to.  Just wish the blocks were more consistent then every other day or 2, but every time i do the math it usually does close or better then Eligius.

Super NOOB question. Flame if you must.
if "x" miner have no shares = no btc even after mining for "x" amount of time after p2pool network hits "x" blocks

Right or wrong? Just want to confirm and clarify.

No active shares in the chain = no payout when a block is found

thx understand more about p2pool daily ....

Anyone is able to develop that?

@forrestv: can this work? B-)

Hi lenny, not seen you here in a while,

I don't recall seeing a reply from forrestv regarding this - in fact I can't remember the last time forrestv commented here at all 

From what I can gather from various well informed devs, p2pool has outgrown python, it's just too slow (& single threaded), plus finding a dev who's understanding of p2pool & python has proven impossible to date. I believe a complete rewrite of p2pool is required in C/++ as there are far more coders out there who are familiar with it - plus it is faster & less resource hungry.

My 2 cents

nice as fuck! 4th/s in the pool for 2days and 0btc! back to my regular pools

It sounds like you're doing something wrong there - are you using your own local node or a public one? Post some info & we'll see what the problem is 

[mavericklm]

''local'' and public, 300km away. The node is now down.
The strange part was that i had 0shares all the time

You should have got some shares with that hash rate. What miner settings & hardware are you using? Location?

Thank you for the reply! I understand more now. And thanks for the calculation for intro hash power.

unfortunately, with my "the new R box" kickin out 110 Gh/s, I guess I'll have to stick to other pools. Maybe someday I'll dump the 750 for one of them bitcranes and really get things going.

Good luck finding that solution to the pool hash rate variance problem! When I get my bitcrane, i'll plugin into a p2p.

Anyone wanna buy me a bitcrane? I'll pay the electricity!

If you were mining on the NastyPool P2Pool node with our NastyPoP payout flag enabled you would have still received a full BTC payout regardless if you submitted an accepted share or not.

WoW Great job nasty ! Looking fwd to more developments. any chance to share on a how to ?

not here to steal but to share with others as i do have some other smaller miners coming to join me but their hashrate is just to small & i'm the only one getting the local shares & for those they had to wait to get a share then only some btc.

i would say my little mining pool is up & running well so far & namecoin coming soon. captminerp2pool.ddns.net:9332 do come & join especially for those who are located in asia.

i'm still pretty new in this & would like to say thanks to everyone who has helped along the way. Looking forward to more improvements at my pool. any comments are welcomed.

question : how can i retain the pool info ? it all resets back to 0 after i (when i'm forced to) restart the pool. the shares are all gone, is it recorded or back to square one ? how do i display namecoin mining data onto my page ?

total thread derail, but whats the most efficient one out there?

Can't fault the SP20's - you can underclock them to ~0.5W/Gh & they work excellently with p2pool. Love'em

Is there an easyway to modify UI by justino   so that the graph button pops up the old graphs from original fe?
