Does anybody know how p2pool determines the difficulty it hands out to miners? Specifically, I need to know if difficulty is determined at the pool level, the p2pool, instance level, the user (btc address) level, or the individual mining client level.

Miner difficulty (as opposed to P2Pool share difficulty) is determined per-instance of p2pool based on how often results are being received. |

Anybody noticed that p2pool's hash rate has plummeted by about 30% in the last week ? Even more significant is the decline in the number of participants.
Beginning of the end of Bitcoin ?
Well, that sucks. I just got my Jalapeno today. It's hooked up to BitMinter at the moment (I liked their fees and policies) but I had planned on figuring out how to use p2pool with it. And really, I see little reason not to still do so, provided the collective hash rate doesn't drop too low. I'd probably be fine with one or two blocks a day. I know I won't be generating much soon anyway, but I'd still like to support the concept of p2pool for as long as possible. *rolls up sleeves* |
Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

So jalapeno p2pool yes or no?
No (see my guide for why). And... that's even worse.... *looks for guide* EDIT: OK, so the main problem with using BFL ASICs is the latency, which is made an issue by p2pool's 10-second share window. I don't know how popular the other ASICs are, but I would think p2pool needs as much hardware (especially powerful hardware) as it can get if it's going to remain a viable option. Has anyone brought up the idea of increasing the share window, even up to a full 1 minute? Wouldn't this effectively squash the hardware latency issue (and fix one or two other issues as well?) |

I know I won't be generating much soon anyway, but I'd still like to support the concept of p2pool for as long as possible. *rolls up sleeves* The reason I asked the question above is because I'm working on a mining pool proxy for p2pool. Basically, it records the shares you submit under your address, but it actually submits them to p2pool under the pools address. When p2pool finds a block, I can make payouts based on shares submitted. The aim is to help increase the total hashpower of p2pool by giving smaller miners the ability to contribute and receive reasonable variance. I'm running some tests now, but hopefully I will open it up to a few testers within the next week. |

Pooled proxies would allow p2pool to operate with larger difficulty shares and maintain low variance for end users. |

Really strange but one of my friends who mines on my pool noticed he hasn't been getting any payout for his address on my LTC pool since Saturday. (he keeps a 200kh miner running most days at his work place that gets a small payout and adds his 7970 some days to boost the payout) http://p2pool.dyndns.info:9327/static/graphs.html?WeekGraph for the week shows his payout just seem to have stopped on Friday after he turned off his 7970. I've been running a miner non stop for the last few hours to check myself. I've not changed anything, I've only restarted the LTC client and pool, connected a miner a few hours ago and still nothing. Has anyone else ever had the same issues? |

Has anyone else ever had the same issues? In your graph you have miners using Litecoin addresses to connect: their payout is not shown in the "Current payout to default address" which is perfectly normal. Your friends should check the value for their address in the "Payouts if a block were found NOW" section. On LTC payouts quickly drop to zero as the rate of blocks is quite fast and P2Pool looks for share produced approximately during the last 12 blocks. |
