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

[spiccioli]

I think I got p2pool working on avalon with stratum.. maybe.

its hashing at full speed last couple of minutes

in main.py

serverfactory = switchprotocol.FirstByteSwitchFactory({'{': stratum.StratumServerFactory(wb)}, web_serverfactory)

same workaround as p2pool avalon branch, to disable work caching.

Hi Aseras,

I've found this message of yours, I'm using avalon branch of p2pool and this line is present inside p2pool/p2pool/main.py but I still cannot mine using an Avalon with stratum, I only get invalids.

I have to put --fix-protocol

Did you make other changes? Any idea?

Thanks

I know Aseras and ckolivas spent some time trying to get Avalons to play with p2pool with mixed results I think. If Aseras is AFK then maybe ask ckolivas how it went?

I know as well,

the "strange" thing is, see my link in my previous message, that I can mine using stratum on p2pool using cgminer 2.10.5 with some cairnsmore1 boards, but I cannot mine, on the same p2pool, with an Avalon using latest firmware, and so cgminer 2.11.4

ckolivas says it is a p2pool problem, so I've reported it here.

My HW states 0, I don't see how I am all hardware errors?

Further the constant long polling apparently is normal with p2pool ltc mining?
"This is completely normal with P2Pool. P2Pool has its own merged mining sidechain that goes at a rate of 10 seconds - you're seeing long polls because someone else got a P2Pool share."

I just assumed I haven't been paid as the difficulty is set differently at p2pool. I still have 51 accepted shares at the time of that picture.

haha, win morons at its best!

thanks for the help

No. Look at it - you have over 1800 hardware errors and rising - you are doing nothing. Believe me.

I did not directly work with p2pool. It was a lot of work to bring the avalon code in line with mainline cgminer, and improve some the driver flakiness, which I have done thanks to the access provided by Aseras. I only tested it briefly on p2pool with stratum and saw it produce a truckload of duplicate shares and then p2pool go into some kind of death spiral trying to catch up with shares and then the avalon getting all angry at me. With fix protocol p2pool would continually run out of resources on the machine trying to process shares and the avalon would be just as pissed off at me. I've not played with avalon on p2pool since, but with enough time I may be able to instrument this problem more in the future. I have no firm working diagnosis, but vague ideas to do with large coinbases on avalon with its limited resources, and perhaps some kind of overflow in the stratum message from p2pool or resubmissions, or time to process shares or... There is a lot happening at the moment though

Sorry, but UR really BLIND?

It's hard sometimes.....

Ah. I'm new to this, was looking at the main "HW" at the top. Jeez..

Turned it all off. I'm running 3x 7950s, ud4h gigabyte board, win7 along with cgminer and p2pool directing to my local wallet. Set up the pool with cgeasy, 256, 18 intensity.

Turning it down to 12 is where it gives me 0 hardware errors. Yet takes my speed from 500 per card to 220 per card.... grr.

[Schleicher]

Anyway, does this all look normal? Been running for about 4 hours. Nothing showing in my wallet yet.

You only get paid if p2pool finds a block. That could take some hours.
cgminer version 2.6.4 is kind of outdated.
Try version 3.0.0, available here:

Thank you. I thought I was all set up, looks like I wasn't dialed in at all. This would be the wrong thread for me then. Thanks again.

Out of curiousity, is it possible to Merge mine Litecoins & Feathercoins?  I thought I'd give it a go using P2pool merge command (and both coins are scrypt).  All I get is errors in P2pool when it tries to getwork from Feathercoin.

Use older firmware, the one with 2.10.5a IIRC and use username+16 or username+32 diff for stratum to work. Still expect 20-30% DOA, but full speed hashrates after a minute or so.

2.11.4 with the worker threads seems to break p2pool again under stratum.

I've been out of town, plus buried in work and just getting back.

Must be a really difficult block... haven't seen a new block in the p2pool for over a day now

Hi Aseras,

I'd prefer not to downgrade due to the stuck Avalon problem biting me a couple of times with previous firmware.

I'll wait to see if this gets fixed, otherwise I'll keep mining elsewhere.

Thanks

Interested to know what sort of machine the server was on ? And if it was a ssd setup for tmpfs?

Don't mock him. Seeing his colors, he may really be blind.

Are you sure you turned on scrypt? Don't waste time on LTC, just do btc.

Welcome to p2pool - where the word "consistent" is never used.....

[Searinox]

Someone should update the thread title. Though I'm not sure how often. In the last 2 weeks P2Pool has grown from ~350 to 700 GH/s... then again that's prolly happening to other pools as well. I'm scared.

[centove]

Global Rate   666GH/s (20% DOA+orphan)

Aiieeeeee it's a sign that P2Pool is evil!!! Run away!!!
