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

[rav3n_pl]

That's my opinion. Running your own node is usually fun.
Unfortunately, the setup is not trivial, so I made my node public to support the P2pool idea.

LOL?
Download zip, unpack, run. Node setup done.

so easy? 
I must install python, twistet, Set Bitcoind as server and so on. 
whats with people who use a pool and an e-wallet, which never used a Bitcoind ?

why are there still so many old nodes, when ist easy?

I hope you all find this interesting: NPW 5.1 p2Pool - bad luck or flawed?

Let me know if I've made any egregious errors in how I've described how p2Pool works.

Nice work. You gotta tell us mate : what do you do for a living ?

You are a freaking GENIUS ! Where did you learn all that stuff

I work in Allied Health in a children's hospital, with patients and doing some research.

:modestface: Well thank you kind sir! I taught myself over the last 12 months, with Meni Rosenfeld pointing the way.

Just READ 3 first posts of this thread, everything is explained step-by-step.

Nicely done, but there is NO explanation WHY it is 10% longer than it "should"

And I have absolutely no idea if it is even possible or how.

I know how to setup, but other people Not. ...

Very nice and thorough analysis... am impressed.

Small donation from a small miner, sent.

Will be interesting to see, if you do this again for p2pool, how forrestv's recent changes to increase propagation of found block info, affects the data. Given enough time of course.

Thanks Smoovious!

I'm keen to revisit this in another 500 blocks. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. I hope the hashrate ups a little bit.

I have a idea, but unsure how to prove it.
In my case P2pool.info ALWAYS and sometimes even my local node shows more hash rate than I have on my miner.
Maybe it it all ok in pool itself, just numbers send/taken to analysis are screwd? By this magic 10% ?

hashrate by p2pool on your PC and on p2pool.info is a GUESS based on the shares submitted at that time. I've had it say I've got 40gh/s because I mined with 1500 diff shares and got 5-10 shares in quick succession.

Maybe this "guessing" is the troublemaker. Some missed comma in code or something and all calculations can be trashed.
IE it is calculating that diff 600 share need 270MH (numbers form the roof) but in fact it need only 250. This way pool "guessing" that pool HR is higher than it really is, so time to solve block is shorter. But in fact it takes longer because real HR is lower.
In "normal" pools where SD=1 error margin is much lower (higher accuracy), we have SD~600 and rounding numbers up/down can make statistic troubles.

Edit:
From my week graph:
Local rate = 132MH/s
Local rate reflected in shares = 164MH/s
So pool "guessing" that I have 20% more hash power than I really have.
If everyone have +10% on stats then "bad luck" problem is only a statistic myth. If more ppl have over +10% ... then everyone should mine there

Thanks for your help guys, sorry to waste your time, i had the wrong password in Guiminer i am not sure how it happened as it was working before i upgraded, it all seemed to work with the wrong one, i could not see any errors, but the difference i can see is that on guiminer i now am showing a number outside brackets, so i am now getting 98 (50) where as before with the wrong password i was only ever getting an incrementing number inside the brackets with the outside number 0
ie 0 (50)

Thanks
Peter
Just need to get a high watt psu and i can plug the new high speed card in.

[bitpop]

p2pool does not have a password

[Peterae]

Guiminer had the wrong password for the encrypted wallet.

[bitpop]

Ooh why does it watch your wallet?

[Peterae]

I'm the noob here  you tell me, i am just saying i found out why it was not working, without the correct password in Guiminer it was not allowing bitcoin to work with Guiminer and i was not getting credited for P2pool.
With my wallet password in Guiminer password field it works.

[bitpop]

lol never used guiminer
