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

[spiccioli]

Unfortunately, no success...
Blade just do not connect to stratum proxy on p2pool. There is not error message at all.
I would like really to have some developer in it, I can donate my Blade worktime to debug this.

I've made some tests yesterday using cgminer 2.5.10 with a BFL FPGA pointed to the mining proxy (connected to p2pool with forrestv patch) and it does not work if I try using getwork (I get back an error which says that user credentials are wrong).

If I let cgminer switch to stratum, that is if I don't use --fix-protocol then it starts mining without problems.

You can add -P -D to the cgminer command line to see what goes wrong.

I'm running the mining proxy on a fedora 16 pc and cgminer on an ubuntu 12.x server.

That's only your local problem. I am using patched stratum proxy with forrestv patch. Stratum proxy to p2pool works 100% fine with my cgminer, both on getwork and stratum ports.
Blade pointed to that proxy (getwork port) just sits and do nothing, while I am successfully mining with cgminer on it, at same time.

good to know, lenny_, can you tell me the command line you're using to start stratum_mining_proxy.py ?

thanks!

Newbie question: How to update bitcoind from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2 in Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit server running 11.4 p2pool? Step by step pls..

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.2/

0.8.2 is out of RC and Released into the wild.

[bitpop]

Just replace the files and run as before

[xgtele]

Can you point me to the correct directory where these files are located? The server does not have any GUI, linux commands from terminal only..

I tried:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoind

But the system said that I have the latest version (0.8.1, not 0.8.2)

Just replace the files and run as before

Download it from bitcoin.org and install it by hand:

twmz, I don't know yet how to do it correctly - if you can advice me with your step-by-step instructions, it will be great.

No, I am not willing to provide step by step instructions, sorry.  The best way to learn is to just try it and figure it out as you go along.  If you don't want to do that, I understand, but then you are probably better off just waiting for the PPA to be updated.

Make a virtual machine you can screw up and learn on

Or wait 40 minutes...
the ubuntu ppa binaries have been uploaded

You have low latency! Very good

Right you are sir! And continuing to try and get it lower still...

good to know, lenny_, can you tell me the command line you're using to start stratum_mining_proxy.py ?

thanks!

Yeah sure:

Code:

python /home/pioruns/stratum-mining-proxy/mining_proxy.py -o localhost               -p 9332 -gp 5001 -sp 6001

I also tried custom user override +1 or +10 to force proxy to have 1 or 10 difficulty. Blade just doesn't do a thing, while I was mining nicely with cgminer on same port. That's simple topology of my network and my miners:

Configuration:
laptop - a few FPGA connected with cgminer
blade1 - connected to PC with proxy to bitminter, working nicely all time
blade2 - connected to PC with proxy to bitminter, working nicely all time
PC with proxy (proxy connected to localhost p2pool) - a few FPGA connected with cgminer

Experiments with stratum proxy to p2pool:
laptop with cgminer -> PC = working fine
PC local cgminer -> PC = working fine (local cgminer to local proxy to local p2pool)
blade1 -> PC = nothing
blade2 -> PC = nothing

I was running 2 proxy on PC, port 5000 bitminter, port 5001 p2pool. Blade sits and do nothing while on port 5001, when I pressed Switch Pool, instantly It started working on bitminter proxy.

How to debug this crap, when there is no connection errors or something, at all?

So ... there any sign of fixing the p2pool drastic performance problem that was the reason BFL sent forrestv a Jalapeno weeks ago?

What you mean? p2pool is working fine. With new bitcoin version (low latencies) everything back to "normal"
