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

[rav3n_pl]

is there a neat way to look at the curent sharechain?

In meaning? You can look at stats page.

im talking about the share explorer, its not really usage friendly to get a fast overview

Write some JS to make it ;]

Hey, I set up a 0%-fee p2pool node on a Windows Azure VPS: 168.63.105.0:9332 - http://168.63.105.0:9332/static/

Does the 8.2version support litecoin network?
I try to run p2pool 8.2v in LTC network, it will not show poolspeed, and cpu-miner will not work.
Try 5.0v, it promptes to upgrade.

i hope this bad luck round is over soon

EDIT: nvm there was a solved block some time ago

EDIT2: is there a bug? its not showing u p at the P2Pool stats (talking about the "Blocks found in last day:" section) :S
altough i have recieved the transaction. im talking about this one: http://blockexplorer.com/block/0000000000000305d32daae3ad63cd020b1fa75de9faf567284077b82a60b019

EDIT3: same for this block! http://blockexplorer.com/block/0000000000000307bb161f68458201e85a2004d9ec193ca548b004c68d678125

We got no less than 6 blocks two days ago.  That's about 3x as many as we should at our hashrate.  I'm not complaining about a slow period!!

me neither. i joined 2 days ago

I've seen some evidence of this as well.. although I'm not 100% sure I'm logging the correct metric. I log the time for the getwork function in main.py and the delay is often in the 1-2 second range now whereas before it was often under 0.5 secs:

        # BITCOIND WORK
        bitcoind_work = variable.Variable((yield getwork(bitcoind)))
        @defer.inlineCallbacks
        def work_poller():
            while True:
                flag = factory.new_block.get_deferred()
                try:
                    my_time = time.time()
                    bitcoind_work.set((yield getwork(bitcoind, bitcoind_work.value['use_getblocktemplate'])))
                    my_time2 = time.time() - my_time
                    if (my_time2 > 0.5):
                        print "slow bitcoind: %.02f" % (my_time2,)

Also, my miner is also getting a rather high reject rate.  I haven't changed my miner settings at all and I'm running the latest bitcoind and p2pool.  My reject used to be <3% and now its ~6%

There are some possible optimizations for the new transaction handling, which could be causing this by introducing some new latency. I'll look into it over the next few days.

Your metric seems to measure the performance of bitcoin, not p2pool. Could it be that bitcoind is lagging more and more from the ever increasing load?
I have tried the latest experimental "ultraprune" bitcoin (git head) for about a day now, and have seen my stale rate go from 6-8% down to 3-4%. I have no nifty metrics other than what p2pool provides out of the box, though.

[cabin]

I agree it is mostly measuring bitcoin performance. With the new p2pool version some transaction data is now being distributed with p2pool and so that might lessen the load on bitcoind and make it return faster? We'll see I guess when it is fully switched over to 0.8. That is good news about the latest bitcoin.. I'll try the release candidates when they start coming out.

You do know about the Windows binaries, right? If you don't want to use them, you can unzip the Windows binary to extract ltc_scrypt.pyd and use it.

If you're set on compiling that library yourself, you need to install MinGW.

I tried the binaries i just figured i was doing something wrong when the p2pool exe would not run in litecoin mode. I added run_p2pool.exe" --net litecoin user password to my shortcut but the file still insists on looking for the bitcoin rpc server not the litecoin.

Some messages on the console still mention "bitcoind" even if it's trying to connect to litecoind. Maybe pastebin the output?

just says testing bitcoind rpc connection to 'http://127.0.0.1:9332 with username X

then

error while checking bitcoin connection

my litecoin is running on server 10332 because i am also running a p2pool connection for bitcoin on the 9332 and 9333 ports can i force the p2pool to look on an alternate port?

Maybe try starting run_p2pool.exe from the command-line? It sounds like p2pool isn't receiving the "--net litecoin" argument at all...

same response now still launches looking for a connection on port 9332 9333 can i force it to look on a different port?

Yes, there's the --bitcoind-rpc-port and --bitcoind-p2p-port arguments. Try running "run_p2pool.exe --help".
