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

[Smoovious]

My node is back
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68743.0
Can someone verify my version even though it doesn't say 3.1?

Just bring up http://localhost:9332/static/

It'll give the version # there.

Compiled win64 bins to show full version info

Still no LTC

Milestone: 90% is on new v4 sharechain (P2pool v3.x)!
Last 10% PLZ update node!
It is only 2 nodes on bugged v2 and 14 on v1.
Cmon!

[RandomQ]

I think some of the nodes on the old version might be using p2pcoin or whatever its called. The all in one ISO that is p2pool and cgminer built together.
I think it was designed as a boot and forget system, with no update process automated.

good luck getting them to upgrade unless the coins stop flowing lol

There is actually a 0.4.3 version that is on the fixed version of p2pool.

http://www.jerviss.org/bitcointalk.org/p2pcoin/

I haven't posted them here because they also have version 0.6.2 of bitcoind, which has problems.  My understanding was that the version of p2pool that was included in 0.4.1 wasn't the version causing problems on the network.  Let me know if I'm wrong about that.  I'll try to spin up a 0.6.99 setup for testing before the weekend too.

P.S.  My 4 nodes of p2pcoin are all running 0.4.3, which has the 3.1 release of p2pool.  I suspect that my nodes represent a decent fraction of all p2pcoin nodes in the world.

I posted a script in this thread that used git to autoupdate p2pool. Including it in the cron jobs of p2pcoin (and any Linux-based install) might be worth it.

For it to work, you must have :
- a p2pool checkout with git in a directory from which p2pool will be run,
- git...
- screen to run p2pool

If anyone's interested and can't find it I'll dig it up.

Yeah, if you can dig that up, let me know.  I'll include it in p2pcoin.

Everything should be self explanatory for anyone familiar with bash scripts and p2pool. It's configured for my needs but should easily be adapted. If you have any question when customizing it for p2pcoin I'd be happy to help.

WTF? WHY? It is only 0.5% by default! You miser!

WTF? WHY? It is only 0.5% by default! You miser!

Because I gave more than these 0.5% of what I earned in direct donations to forrestv, in fact it's around 2-3%. I'll consider a donation of 2% of what you earned with p2pool to forrestv a proper apology for your improper behavior.

ME? Improper? Who wrote that script??? ME?
Anyone who use it will NOT support forrestv by this nice automatic feature.

As said in my original post on this subject this script is tailored for my needs and meant to be edited for p2pcoin's needs. Wasn't it clear enough? Should I have use the troll language, using capslock and several interrogation points?

Lol, if I was in your place I`ll just not paste things like that... Nice idea for a startup/cron anyway

Ok, someone tell me how THIS is possible:

Code:

Blocks found in last day:

Note that blocks may have been orphaned from the P2Pool chain and so not be here.

Looks like he mined a totally junk block, perhaps due to his bad connection or his bitcoind misbehaving.

Junk shares like that shouldn't be accepted, they should be orphaned. Perhaps similarly to the discouraging Gavin implemented for bitcoin. Hopefully the devs will fix it soon! Edit: this is already what is happening, there's just a special rule for block solving shares, that's why it got through.

Indeed if you explore his shares around this incident you'll see he was having a very high orphan rate. The pool orphan rate spike are mostly all his shares, it seems. In the end, p2pool was not paying him, urging him to fix the problem.

Rav3n_pl forwarded me a link to his local p2Pool stats page, which was very useful.

Can anyone else do that? Or take a screenshot or something? You can pm me the screenshot so it wont end up public.

Useful with just one person on it?  Well, have a gander at http://5.9.24.81:9332/static/     if you like

my payout has been steadily decreasing, i think i should have stopped at max and went back to maxbtc,  then wait til all my shares expire to come back  *scratch*

I obeserved today a phenomenon

Suddenly my stales rate went drasticaly up allso the whole machine was lagging badly, im not sure about what did cause that, i could not find any activities in my logs so that wasnt caused by any apache related activity, just p2pool and the chains was running. I suspect that this has something to do with peers; this could be intentionaly or cause of a bug. i realized that stales and orphaned shares on the p2pool operating chain are probably caused trough this.

The solution is simple: restart the pool more often, a node that is running to long probably causes a higher amout of stales or even orphans...

got the same problem.
my DOA increased to 40-50 %.
using bitcoind 6.3.

thanks for the hint, meanwhile i use 0.6.3 bitcoind, everything back to normal here
