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

[twmz]

I pointed my modest setup at p2pool.  It wasn't too painful.  We'll see how it goes.

How to make this signature pic?

You can't.  I added it to btcstats.net for myself only as it gets its data on my hashrate from my personal proxy.  I suppose I could try to figure out how to find other people's hashrates from the p2pool RPC api if people wanted it, but I don't think you can put images in signatures anymore, so it would be kind of pointless except at other websites (it works for me here only because I haven't changed my sig since the new rule went into affect).

Aah, I have a question fitting right in:
Does anyone have a clever way to monitor several miners?
One webpage with "Miner 2 is mining/offline" etc would be enough, bonuspoints for "Miner 2: 123mh/s".
In short, something as convenient as the centralized pools status windows, not needing to remotely login to every single mining rig.

Any ideas?

With current p2pool from git (= commit 210a3f432598536073c3268cd9b975941bb2c2d2), I just got the following excption when a block was found:
<snip: fixed in git>

I assume it has something to do with me specifying the "--irc-announce" parameter.

It seems my p2pool daemon crashed/dissappeared during the night and that caused the image generator to fail.. should be back up shortly.

Can someone tell me if this is working ? I know that it works with cgminer but what about the ztex software ? Why does the client tell me "worker submitted share with hash xxx" and with cgminer it doesn't ? Thank you

^ What cgminer version are you using? I experienced that error ("Worker submitted share with hash greater than target") when using an older version of cgminer. Try upgrading to the newest cgminer if you're using an older version.

[Turbor]

Hello, no problems with cgminer. That was the ztex miner for my fpga boards. Looks like the software needs an update to work with p2pool.

[Ente]

Does anyone have a clever way to monitor several miners?

I've created a p2pool rate icon/badge generator.
http://p2pool.us.to/p2pool_rate.php?address=<your p2pool payout address>

That is nice!
So I could give every miner its own payout address, and make me a html page with all icons..
With one look I would see the hashing speed of every miner. Works fromanywhere too, not just in my lan.
What do you think is the updating rate of the icons? After every found block? After every found proof-of-work? Or faster than that?

Ente

[eja]

It's the same rate that the p2pool daemon displays in the logging.
The rate is derived from the number of valid p2pool shares generated for that address in the last two hours and should update more or less immediately as shares are found.
The figure is not always accurate though, for example mine now says 0MH, but that is just because my miner did not find any shares in the past hours.
And if you're on a lucky streak it may indicate too high.

[twmz]

I'm personally really happy about the new built in per-worker graphs:

Where can I find these graphs?  The ones I found (at http://mymachine:9332/graphs/) don't show individual workers.

[flower1024]

on p2pool startup it prints a vip password.
use this as a miner password and /graphs will display per-worker-stats.

EDIT: as all graphs use rrd its easy to make seperated graphs per worker (even with commandline only)

[wachtwoord]

I was hashing for literally my first 2 minutes on p2ppool and this happens:



Also thus far I have 0 accepted 2 rejected in roughly 6 minutes.

1) What caused the error?
2) Is this rate normal?
3) Is mining with 200-241 MHz too inefficient with p2ppool?

[Costia]

i am mining at 200Mhash with cgminer, works fine

[wachtwoord]

0 accepted 4 rejected in a little over ten minutes. Is that also what you are getting?

I am using Phoenix which I also use to mine on various pools. Because the pool I use atm was semi-down I thought I'd figure the p2ppool out to see if it is an improvement for my particular case.

i nevered used phoenix: so this is only a guess
p2pool needs fast long polling support by miner (fast means it should not wait some time after it has received one).

i never saw your error before: it seems like phoenix is not able to connect to p2pool. best advice is to join #p2pool on freenode and ask forrestv about it.

(my reject rate with cgminer is very low - around 0.2%)

[Costia]

in the miner i get 2 shares/minute and less than 1% rejected
in p2pool i get a share about once an hour or 2, with ~10% orphans and 0 dead

[wachtwoord]

Went to IRC and got advised by Gmaxwell to upgrade Phoenix which solved the issues I was having. Thanks a lot.

Now I had 9 accepted 0 rejected in the last 30 mins
