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

[Amph]

it's strange , transactions do not arrive any more, but in the stats ip adress it say, 4 shares and a reward of 0.02 if a block is found now, but nothing on my wallet...

ok transactions arrived

Sorry if this has been explained before but many people in the past couple of pages have been saying they are getting 200..400..600MHash/s.  Is that correct?  I thought mining with a single video card would be producing KHash/s and not MHash/s like bitcoin.

Currently I have:

AMD 7970: ~600KHash/s
AMD 7870: ~350KHash/s
AMD 5870: ~350KHash/s.

Technically I am running ~1.3MHash/s now.. so I doubt someone with a AMD 7770 is getting 200MHash/s but maybe I am totally missing out.  Moved from bitcoin mining to Litecoin yesterday.  Started with notroll pool but realized they have major issues paying out but in less than a day I got 2 LTC which seems about right.

..and of course after checking the litecoin calculator I come up with ~470 LTC a day if you ran 200MHash/s.. so I'm 99.9999% sure everyone else is misspeaking.

Where did you see Litecoin in the title of the thread? The subject is p2pool not bitcoin, litecoin, terracoin, ... mining with p2pool especialy.

This has probably been asked before but I can't find it anywhere.

If i set a -f 5 when i run p2pool, where does the 5% go and how often.
I've been mining with an address as user name and have been getting paid normally, but i'm lost as to where my fees might be.

When you set a 5% fee, then there is a 5% random chance for each of the shares you find that it will be assigned to the fee address (specified on the command line or automatically chosen from the connected wallet) instead of the address you pass in as the username.

Thanks so much that information just seemed to not exist on the internet!

[Richy_T]

and asking 1.0% for the author ?


decent people wait for it , they dont take it.

It's entirely optional. If you don't want to pay it and can't be bothered to disable it, that's your own fault.

I am p2pool mining BTC with an AMD 7770  and I am getting 220 MHash/s. I was getting 200 I got 20 more after a few tweaks in cgminer. I am also curious about what other people are getting with this card and what they are doing for said results.

From https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison, approx 200 looks about right for the HD7770.

If you don't set a address the fee percentage will go to a address in the bitcoind wallet that p2pool is set to use and creates a address in.

I wanted to makes sure I've done what I'm supposed to do here. My Mhash/s are maxed out for my card, my latency is at or below  .1s. I am using cgminer and was told I should use the --fix-protocol command to long poll vs. using stratum, I wasn’t having any known issues using stratum. Does someone mind telling me why one would be better for me vs the other.

cgminer 3.1.0
p2pool 11.4

if you aren't having any problems with stratum, then don't change it

it could just be a problem with high latency connections

I was reading something about a divergence between other pools difficulty rating and p2p's, and cgminer was geared towards the other pools method. But yeah if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.

hi forrestv:
what do you think of the problems mentioned in this topic: https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,3193.0.html
when using popool for ltc mining,the payout rises at first,and when the payout for one miner reaches the standard level for the miner's hashrate ,the payout begin to drop very fast!
it seems the pool rate,the Share difficulty and the local rate haven't changes so much, why?
It seems it's very easy for a new worker to find the Shares when he first join the pool and begin to work,but with the time passes by,it will become more and more difficult to find the shares,In this progress,the worker's hash rate and the pool rate haven't changed so obviously ! I think this can't be simply caused by the "lucky",do u think so?

[gyverlb]

What kind of "latency issues" were you having? High "Bitcoin Getwork Latency" or low efficiency? The former doesn't matter too much.

In my experience, "Bitcoin Getwork Latency" starts to impact efficiency negatively when it reaches the [0.10s, 0.20s] range and things start to get ugly above that.

Well don't I feel like an idiot.  My bad, I forgot that P2Pool allows all the different cryptocurrencies.  I am mining LTC and seems that everyone else is talking about BTC.  I followed this link directly from a Litecoin pool comparison chart.

...carry on

I screwed up somehow. I had everything running great and started messing around and somehow now when I start p2pool it doesn’t load the shares it says 0 shares verified.  In the data/bitcoin folder the shares.xx files are missing (I'm sure I'm at fault here) and when I download a new copy of p2p no new ones are created when I start it.
I just said in a previous post if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.


NEVERMIND: It seems to have worked itself out.I'm turning everything on and leaving it alone.....

EDIT:
Now that it's been brought up (by me). What are the shares.xx files?

[GrapeApe]

I've been getting this today "GOT INCOMPLETE BLOCK FROM PEER"
Any clues???

It is normal and harmless when you restart node and download share chain.

This is our share chain.
