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

[Red Emerald]

Maybe consider lower diff a bit and less longpool messages? I haven't share over last 24hrs...
I have only ~170MH/s and most of my worker get works are break by longpool reset.
In description it is about 10s between longpolls but in most cases i get longpool restart every 5s...
Also after upgrading to 11.1 i`m getting ALOT of dead on arrival (about 30% vs under 5% on 10.3), same worker and config.

Since you have a small rig, it might be worth mining at p2pmining.com.  He runs a public, merged mining p2pool node with diff 1 shares designed for smaller miners.

In fact I`m getting more directly form p2pool that p2poolmining

Aroud 0,015BTC per block. In any other pool i tried it was around 0.0015...

2 expected long term average values for 170MH/s are
(at the moment with a difficulty of 1508589.6720603)
BTC per day: 0.11334309 BTC
Shares per Minute:    2.3749 (1 difficulty shares - not p2pool paying shares)

However ... average expected amount per block will depend on the hash rate of the pool!

Just a comment: these monthly forced updates are not really practical for people who don't engulf their entire lives in Bitcoin. I was fortunate to have caught this update and the previous one because I just happened to check in here.

I will be away for the next 60 days. Hopefully my miners will still be working when I get back.

You can use P2Pmining.com and let me take care of the updates for you.

[bitpop]

Or use my node below ;)

[Shadow383]

Yeah, to be honest I don't think p2pool is terribly practical for less serious miners at this stage 
Hell, I'd gone back to mining PPS entirely before the recent update, which has cut my DOA rate down to a quarter of what it was previously.
Also, look at the luck! I've been using p2pool for a while and I've never seen the 1-day luck go above 100%.
Has the recent update fixed anything?

I am running p2pool with great results on debian, however for best efficiency I am planning on running on a server I have on the internet that runs centos, the debian server I use for mining and it is best not to have the miners and the mining pool on the same server.

I get this strange error when running on centos 5.5
forrestv-p2pool-04283e9]# ./run_p2pool.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/sergio/forrestv-p2pool-04283e9/p2pool/__init__.py", line 36, in _get_version
    if len(dir_name) >= 7 and (len(dir_name) == 7 or dir_name[-8] not in chars) and all(c in chars for c in dir_name[-7:]):
NameError: global name 'all' is not defined

    from . import p2p, networks, web
         ^

Any ideas on how to fix that error, is there a patch available to run p2pool in centos 5.5 ?
On centos python is version 2.4 on debian it is 2.6.6

Python 2.4 is not compatible with p2pool.  Sorry

Getting 2.7 running on Centos is a PITA.  I just had to mess around with it for work and we ended up using ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I don't know why considering 2.7 is almost 2 years old.  2.6 is in EPEL though.

[echris1]

woot, two blocks in less than a week with just 3.2GH 

Also, I have a quick question, if you solve the bitcoin block do you also solve a namecoin block at the same time?  I'm pretty sure that is what merged mining means.

[bitpop]

no you COULD solve a namecoin block
plus with namecoin, your solution must solve an ENTIRE block, there are no shares

[echris1]

Yeah, I knew that alt mining wasn't pooled, but so far every time I have found a bitcoin block, I also found a namecoin block. 

Of course, I've only found like, 3 or 4, so the sample size is pretty small, but still.

[bitpop]

lucky, i barely find any. so you got like 200 nmc?

[echris1]

I didn't find any for about a month or so, then I got 2 towards the end of april, and two more with each block I've found recently.   I think I may have found one or two more way back when. 

But I just sell it off right away. Still, it is a nice little bonus.

Also, I have a quick question, if you solve the bitcoin block do you also solve a namecoin block at the same time?  I'm pretty sure that is what merged mining means.

Any Bitcoin block will definitely (at least for now) be a Namecoin block, because Bitcoin's difficulty is higher than Namecoin's.

p2pool bug ?
If I'm not mistaken, p2pool found a block yesterday at 21:04 GMT but my node doesn't report it in the last blocks see original page here if you go to it quickly enough :
http://linode.bouton.name:9332/static/
Screencap coming later.

[gyverlb]

Just noticed the warning : block might have been orphaned from the chain... So I assume it's OK.

[kjj]

Woohoo!  I finally got my first p2pool block.  I had been starting to get worried because my rough estimates of my personal expected time to block had already come and gone.  Even when you know it is an estimate, and an estimate of the 50% probability time, no less, I've gotta say, it can still be hard not to get worried.
