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

[organofcorti]

Q: how exactly is calculated expected time to block when block found? Current pool hash rate or some average of time that block was mined?
I`m still not sure that our luck chart is good... If we founding blocks "in time" I`m gettin much more than from any pps pool... For me luck is much higher than 90%

What's your average daily earnings and average hashrate for the current difficulty period? If you can tell me that, I'll tell you whether or not you're getting more or less than expected.

It is my desktop, so avg is about 140MH/s.
I`m taking 0.025 per block or more (even 0.05) from P2pool.
I was mining on 2 pps pools and get about 0.07-0.075 BTC/day.
For me P2pool is best

What are your average daily earnings for the current diff period?

ANY PPS pool give me that

BTW fixed BTCLauncher, uploaded to skydrive. There was bug in saving run_p2pool.exe patch to options.

The pool has been exceedingly lucky since the 14th June, with a mean round length of 0.6975. This means you'll get paid much more than PPS.

However, this is a reflection of the variance inherent in bitcoin mining. If you recorded your fortnightly average, you'd find it much less than PPS, since the average p2Pool roundlength for the last two weeks was 1.204.

The average round length since the start of p2Pool is about 1.11. So, since the start of p2Pool, average miner earnings are less than PPS.

Yes, because we have "dry days" just before. As someone said: in long run it is all the same.
P2pool have few BIG advantages over other pools, thats why I support it, not only for income.
In fact, I pay more for electric power than I make coins on my machine. But I like Bitcoin idea too much

No, you're missing the point. In the long run, it's not the same. In the long run you're earning less than at a PPS pool.

P2pool have few BIG advantages over other pools, thats why I support it, not only for income.

And that's the reason you should continue mining at p2Pool, despite the lower earnings. I have no doubt that the current round length problem will be fixed eventually, but at the moment you are paying a price for the p2Pool advantages.

15% of pool is on v3. Keep updating ppl!

Is there any way to reduce the verbosity of the logs that P2Pool keeps? I've searched this topic but come up empty-handed.

If you're running from source edit main.py, around line 894 to this:

if time.time() > last_time + 60:

This will print out pool stats one a minute instead every 15 seconds or less.

The correlation is just crazy

[freshzive]

Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

20% of network is updated so far, download and install fresh version!

LOL. Too bad we don't have more of you people.

Too many profiteers around here wishing to suck the gold stream dry like BFL and gigavps.

P2Pool release 3.0 tag: 3.0 hash: a4cde222d397b47ae5646ca74a8036025d745df8

Windows binary: http://u.forre.st/u/lgljvrzx/p2pool_win32_3.0.zip
Source zipball: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/zipball/3.0
Source tarball: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/tarball/3.0

Changes:
* P2Pool will "skip ahead" to building on blocks not yet processed by the local bitcoind based on block headers received from P2Pool peers. This should significantly reduce the number of orphaned blocks we have if everyone upgrades.
* Latency/high CPU usage caused by requesting shares from old nodes is fixed by now not downloading shares more than a day old

This change increments the share version to 3, so once 50% of people upgrade, the rest will be notified by messages on their P2Pool console. So, please upgrade! Note that this isn't a hard fork of the P2Pool chain, so old nodes will continue to work, only spamming the upgrade messages.

I'm pointing one of my miners to a local instance of this... hoping it works better than last time.

P2Pool release 3.1 tag: 3.1 hash: b10bd7592f2f28dcbbc651f55bf22c50de418113

Windows binary: http://u.forre.st/u/obkyymtw/p2pool_win32_3.1.zip
Source zipball: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/zipball/3.1

Changes:
* Fixes a bug where blocks in short succession cause P2Pool to use a lot of CPU time and print many "Skipping to block ..." messages

[Syke]

What is with all the orphans? Is the large block size too much for miners with slow uplinks?

Almost 8% is still using bugged v2 - 15 nodes
Almost 40% is using v1 (very old or rollbacked form v2) - 72 nodes
Close to 55% are updated to v3 already - 107 nods

Well... make it happen finally!
