Sweet. What's the harm in making my node include them all.

Difficult to say. With a default configuration your node won't include them all.

I'm testing lower fee limits to find out if it affects bitcoind and P2Pool negatively but it takes time. As I explained earlier old unconfirmed transactions move slowly and on each bitcoind restart you have to download them again from your peers (currently my bitcoind still can't fill a 500kB block with what it got from the network since my last restart).

While all you lot touch each other and fight about it.

No changes to Bitcoin.conf, simply updated to 0.8.3rc3 and I have some LOW LAT back, seems to be holding.

I still don't see what the big deal was about latency.  Everything seemed to be working fine, but people were panicking over apparent high latency.  Instead they'd rather use a pre-release version of bitcoind that specifics warns you not to use for mining.

<shrug>

M

Trouble started with 0.8.1 and 11.4 for me. Seems all back to normal now. Not had to change anything in Bitcoin.conf to affect tx and wotnot, waiting worked.

As your post could be misinterpreted: to be accurate simply waiting didn't work: you had to update bitcoind to a version which includes the fix from sipa for the getblocktemplate low performance. The P2Pool version doesn't have anything to do with it and you verified it yourself by upgrading bitcoind and keeping the same P2Pool version.

Your trouble started when bitcoind 0.8.1 had to handle the current backlog of unconfirmed transactions. 0.8.1 could handle a normal block size worth of transactions (500kB to 1MB) without problems but it simply couldn't process more than 20MB of them efficiently until sipa fixed the code.

Cheers, I was trying to convey that simply updating the Bitcoin client solved it for me and that the p2pool version is the same as when the trouble started. I see how that can be misinterpreted as I was just listing everything I was using at the time and currently.

Roll Eyes There are such misconceptions floating around...

OK first mdude77 is wondering why the latency is lowered by restarting bitcoind and raises again.

When you restart bitcoind it doesn't save the list of unconfirmed transactions on disk: they are only maintained in what's called the memory pool.
When you restart it, at first it doesn't have any transaction in its memory pool. So any rpc call to bitcoind involving any parsing of the list of transaction in the memory pool is fast: getblocktemplate is obviously one of them as its goal is to build a template for a block including the tx in your memory pool that your bitcoind deems worth confirming.
Then your bitcoind learns of unconfirmed transactions at the rate at which it's neighboors (the nodes it's connected to) on the bitcoind P2P network transmit them. Only new transactions are automatically broadcasted and received by a freshly started node quickly, old ones are transmitted far slower to avoid network congestion. So a freshly started node gets new transactions appearing on the network quickly and slowly catches up through the backlog of unconfirmed transactions. The rate at which a node receives old transactions varies greatly: it depends on the nodes it is connected to (not every node is configured the same, some may relay more transactions than others).
This is why getblocktemplate latency is slowly rising and is perfectly consistent with getblocktemplate latency being heavily dependent on both the number of transactions your bitcoind accepts in its memory pool and the number of transactions it selects for confirmation (these being controlled by maxblocksize, minxtxfee and minrelaytxfee among others).

Second: the getblocktemplate and P2Pool orphan rate.
First a bit of vocabulary just to avoid any misunderstanding: what daemondazz calls P2Pool blocks are P2Pool shares.

AFAIK P2Pool doesn't need a fresh getblocktemplate to build a share. It can reuse a previous one (unless a Bitcoin block has just been found, then shares based on old templates would generate orphan blocks, see one of my earlier posts on why it's bad). The only drawback of using an old getblocktemplate result is that it doesn't include new transactions that were received after it (so it lowers the fee income and slow transaction confirmation a bit).

What the problem is is probably more subtle than that: P2Pool is an event-driven program (as opposed to multi-threaded or multi-process) with most of its event being handled asynchronously (waiting for a getblocktemplate result is probably done asynchronously).
What could happen but is very difficult to analyze is that the event-driven framework doesn't cope with long running queries as well for some obscure technical reason (like polling some event result in exponentially longer intervals instead of being woken up by a select or equivalent system call) or might have a timing problem when some task that can't be done asynchronously (like pure crypto computations) happens to be done right when the geblocktemplate comes back. There's even a system in place in P2Pool to punish shares computed from old templates when a newer block is known: P2Pool nodes generating them because of high getblocktemplate latency will most probably see them orphaned.

I don't know the exact reason why getblocktemplate affected efficiency and even if it's still the case today as forrestv might have changed something that removes this problem. It was still the case very recently (like less than 2 months ago) when getblocktemplate took more than 0.2s. I don't check often how it affects p2pool but I'm doing it right now (in fact I'm studying how the block size and fee limits affect getblocktemplate in the current situation, checking the efficiency is just a bonus). If the behavior of p2pool changed I'll know it in the following days and will be able to update my guide. For now I still recommend to keep it under 0.2s to be safe.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.  Now I understand, and it makes a lot more sense than it did before, and I agree with your conclusions.

Preliminary report of my testing of recent bitcoind builds.

As nothing seemed to bother bitcoind since sipa's patch was included, I decided to test really permissive settings.
I allow for the maximum block size supported by the protocol (1MB), fees only 10% of the default minimum and even allow for 400kB of fee-less transactions if nothing else is available. These last ones should help the network clean itself from these unconfirmed transactions and help people with older bitcoind versions which slowed down due to the current backlog.

Here are the modifications I'm testing right now:
Code:
blockmaxsize=1000000
blockminsize=400000
mintxfee=0.00001
minrelaytxfee=0.00001

Here are the default values according to "bitcoind --help"
Code:
blockmaxsize=250000
blockminsize=0
mintxfee=0.0001
minrelaytxfee=0.0001

Note : I believe the default blockmaxsize has been raised to 500000 some time ago with 0.8 (and according to the current main.h value for MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_GEN it should be), the help may be outdated or I may have missed something in the source code.

"bitcoind getmininginfo" is useful to check how the node includes transactions:
Code:
{
    "blocks" : 237896,
    "currentblocksize" : 998727,
    "currentblocktx" : 965,
    "difficulty" : 12153411.70977583,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "pooledtx" : 2064,
    "testnet" : false
}
The currentblocksize is almost 1MB which is expected (it takes some time to reach it though).
The node selected 965 transactions out of 2064 it knows about (there are 5109 on the network according to blockchain.info but my node didn't see all of them yet).

The getblocktemplate latency started to rise but is still around 0.2s. My efficiency is still very good at 110-115%. I just restarted my P2Pool node to get more accurate values (it's an average and I didn't have the same bitcoind settings all along). I'll keep an eye on the node traffic too: I suppose that as nodes must verify shares they need to know all transactions used in the block templates which may mean more traffic with bigger templates.

What is surprising is that there's a log of transactions with fee/kB above 0.00001 and below 0.00005 (with 0.00005 I couldn't fill a 500kB block template). I wonder who/what is generating these transactions, certainly not ordinary users.

I've yet to see how bitcoind and P2Pool behave on a 24h period to make any recommendation but it seems that sipa's patch allows us to include far more transactions in our blocks without performance/income penalties. Generating 1MB blocks may even be doable (which may mean substantially more income and some troll repellent as a bonus).

I'm working on a mining interface which will interact with P2Pool, and following information on Stratum here: https://www.btcguild.com/new_protocol.php

Any idea why I'm getting the response:

{"error": {"message": "Service not found", "code": -32601, "data": null}, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": null}

when I POST to my p2pool instance:

http://x.x.x.x:yyyy

{"id": 1, "method": "mining.subscribe", "params": []}

method: getwork returns what I'm expecting. Do I have to somehow POST to the "stratum+tcp://..." URL instead? Or am I missing certain headers? (only have 'Content-Type' = 'application/json')

I can see the error's coming from jsonrpc.py:

Code:
for service_name in method.split('.')[:-1]:
  provider = getattr(provider, 'svc_' + service_name, None)
  if provider is None:
    raise Error_for_code(-32601)(u'Service not found')

but it should be able to find svc_mining, and then rpc_subscribe right after, and I can't tell why provider is coming back null.

(Unfortunately I don't know Python... just Ruby and C#)

Preliminary report of my testing of recent bitcoind builds.

As nothing seemed to bother bitcoind since sipa's patch was included, I decided to test really permissive settings.

For the record here are the modifications I used:
Code:
blockmaxsize=1000000
blockminsize=400000
mintxfee=0.00001
minrelaytxfee=0.00001

Result of "bitcoind getmininginfo":
Code:
{
    "blocks" : 238047,
    "currentblocksize" : 996888,
    "currentblocktx" : 1175,
    "difficulty" : 12153411.70977583,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "pooledtx" : 3059,
    "testnet" : false
}

According to blockchain info, there were 4026 unconfirmed tx (~19MB) when my memory pool had 3059 of them (pooledtx above).
The total of taxes in unconfirmed TX is currently above 25BTC (if a block could include all of them it would be worth twice the usual reward).

Getblocktemplate average latency is 0.3s. My efficiency is 112.5% at the moment after 24h of running a fresh P2Pool instance and bitcoind with these settings which is the average I'm used to (I didn't have a higher efficiency with smaller maxblocksize values with 0.8.1).

I could force higher getblocktemplate latency but I don't see the point: either p2pool code changed and this latency doesn't change efficiency as much as it did or the level where it starts to make efficiency worse is far above what a normal bitcoind configuration should be able to reach currently (0.3s was obtained with 2x the default max block size and 0.1x the default minimum fee limits).

One possible cause of low efficiency: if you don't have a very fast CPU, bitcoind <0.8.1 with the default configuration is eating 100% of one CPU core on each getblocktemplate call, this could slow your p2pool node enough to lower your efficiency.

I'll update the guide.

TL;DR;
My recommendation: upgrade to 0.8.2rc3 or git HEAD and then use the values above in your bitcoin.conf: it should raise the P2Pool payouts to ~26BTC/block (that's 4% more from fees) in the current situation.

Stratum doesn't use HTTP-based JSON-RPC. Instead, it uses a line-based JSON-RPC where you just send a \n-terminated lines. Connect to the port and then just send:
Code:
{"id": 1, "method": "mining.subscribe", "params": []}
and it'll work.

That's one big hurdle passed, thanks a lot!

Keep disconnecting, mining not possible.

Lenny, I was looking at stratum-mining-proxy just this morning and found the cause of this. You need to apply this patch to stratum to get it to work:
Code:
diff --git a/stratum/protocol.py b/stratum/protocol.py
index 02d9954..f64fce8 100644
--- a/stratum/protocol.py
+++ b/stratum/protocol.py
@@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ class RequestCounter(object):
                
 class Protocol(LineOnlyReceiver):
     delimiter = '\n'
+    MAX_LENGTH = 16384000
    
     def _get_id(self):
         self.request_id += 1
I'll get this in a pull request later.

EDIT: Pull request is here: https://github.com/slush0/stratum/pull/8

Thanks.

How to apply it to my p2pool? I have only p2pool from git and stratum-mining-proxy from git.

Before forrestv's patch to stratum-mining-proxy is merged by slush,
maybe you can try forrestv's branch temporarily, ex.:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/forrestv/stratum.git stratum-forrestv
cd stratum-forrestv
git checkout maxlengthfix

Just to recap, is this now the recommended settings:

Code:
blockmaxsize=1000000
blockminsize=400000
mintxfee=0.00001
minrelaytxfee=0.00001

And that's for bitcoin.conf right? And solo miners should/nt use this too?

I'm guessing this only works if my node finds the block so I hope if this is good, most people add this because it effects me.

Keep in mind that your available bandwidth plays a big part here. People running p2pool on a crappy DSL connection probably won't be able to get away with 1MB blocks. 500KB might even be pushing it.

blockminsize is 0 by default, i don't see why you'd want to change it unless there's some particular reason you want to reserve 400kb for (any) 0 fee transactions..  if you've been running bitcoind for more than a couple hours, i imagine all of your new blocks will start out at 400kb, as there are plenty of ppl sending free transactions out there trying to do double spends and what not

it does allow 27000 bytes of priority transactions, which are free.

the fees you have here are 1/10th of the default too, i dunno why you'd want to lower that

I believe in letting people use 0 fee transactions or lower fees. I've been in situations where I used the wrong fee and it took a long time to confirm.

I don't think there are many double spend attacks. Is there a place to see them?

I know, but there is nothing to patch here. This patch is for stratum server, which none of us are using.

Before forrestv's patch to stratum-mining-proxy is merged by slush,
maybe you can try forrestv's branch temporarily, ex.:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/forrestv/stratum.git stratum-forrestv
cd stratum-forrestv
git checkout maxlengthfix


Thanks, but this still doesnt' help us. How to merge stratum-forrestv with stratum-mining-proxy?

stratum-mining-proxy uses the stratum package, which is somewhere on your computer if you're running stratum-mining-proxy, and is what the patch needs to be applied to.

Why do you need a stratum proxy any way?
