All p2pool LTC users should upgrade to the latest p2pool git for this important fix that should help speed up our found blocks and reduce the risk of block orphans.

https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/pull/86
This should fix the flood of "hash > target" errors that bogs down p2pool.  Hopefully forrestv pulls soon so you can upgrade everything with a single pull.

If you have problems with repetitive tracebacks in stratum.py while mining LTC, try upgrading to cgminer-2.11.2+.  They fixed some kind of corruption bug.  You were losing some work!

I am testing p2pool now and have a few questions. My machine makes 30-35 MH/s with bfgminer. The output of the bfgminer says that accepted shares are around 30, but the stats page says: Accepted shares:0, and at the p2pool console i see: Exprected time to share: 21h . What does this mean? Would i receive a payment for these 30 shares or i have to mine more ~21 hours to receive payment?

Shares submitted is not chain shares found.  At 35mh/s, it will take a long time to find a share.. and that share won't get you very much BTC.  It'll be very little BTC in fact.  Right now you're spending more money on electricity than you will recoup from BTC.

Miner reporting sd=1 hasres. To get payout in p2pool you need sd=500 or more share (read pool log for current share diff).
On 35MH you can not get even single share for all day of mining... all depends on luck. It says 21Hrs = you can get share in 12hrs or in 30hrs... too big variance too little hash power.
Try mine TRC instead of BTC.

95BTC = $6,650 at current price.  For real?

I just pushed a commit that should fix the traceback. All it does is ignore the extra argument cgminer provides to mining.subscribe (which is cgminer's version).

tyvm.  that fixed the message, not being able to use stratum, and cgminer crashing.

Good to see submitblock is fixed on litecoin:-) Maybe there should be also version check, so when submitblock *is* supported on litecoin, it will be also used?

I like p2pool and I think it gives a bit more reward than traditional pools. However, when using p2pool with litecoin, I noticed my web browsing was clearly slowed down.. tested my network connection and found out that speed was ok, but ping latency had increased from 40 ms to 300 ms! Maybe it's because of the too low difficulty with litecoin?

aaaaaand its gone Pool Hashrate: 366.2 GH/sEstimated Time to Block: 15h 47m Current Round: 1d 3h 46m

I want to setup TOR access for my nodes, what put into torrc HiddenServiceDir?
I assume ports need to be different from "normal" access.

Sooo directory does not matter at all?

per service you need a directory. one for bitcoin , one for p2pool

[Aseras]

ok My avalons are here. Someone help me get them running on p2pool?

Tried doing the commits on github and setting the --fix-protocol flag and it still just kinda waffles around and doesn't get moving.

Aside from the fact p2pool's 90 day "luck" is at 88.5%, and 30 day "luck" is at 57.1%.  Aside from that, yes, it's great.

is there anywhere a graph about the luck of p2pool from the last 90 days?
TIA

Please note that if you choose a pool based on its past luck you don't understand Bitcoin mining. You probably should learn more about how mining works before choosing a pool (I would advise Bitminter or Ozcoin until you understand why you would earn more with p2pool long-term)
