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

[HellDiverUK]

The problem really lies with the exchange/web wallet, not P2Pool... and according to Eligius, only Instawallet is broken.

So it's not a problem of P2Pool pools only, I didn't realize it.

Eligius and p2pool work very similarly.  Generate "Mined" transactions, using your address as username, etc.

hey, I have running an Debian Server with p2pool.
is it normal, that I have only 6 outgoing and 0 incomming peers?

I have a huge problem! I didn't recieve payments from last 2 found blocks!!! My miner is working constantly but the last payment is from 29.08.2013 after that nothing.... This is my BTC address 1HhnzLoam81FRcrjBJkGYVHoWduDwsqs6C

What's your hashrate?  Have you found any shares recently?

In cgminer accepted shares are normal, and it works good, in p2pool.exe I have 0 shares and 0.0000 payout... Ihave just restarted PC and started all over again, but, with the same result....

cgminer shares are not real p2pool shares.  They are psuedo shares to help you see that your miner is working.  All that matters for getting paid is finding real, p2pool shares (which are much higher difficulty).  You have found 0.  That means you don't get any payout in any blocks found.  You didn't answer the question about your hashrate, but if you look at the p2pool console output, it will also tell you the average amount of time to fine 1 share at your current hashrate.  My guess is that your hashrate is pretty low and that average time is very long.  

My hashrate varies from 700-1600 MHs, according to p2pool. And average time to find share is from 7-20 hours. Anyway now it is all OK since I am getting paid. Thanks!

Now it's happening all over again. In p2pool I have 0.000 BTC payout, allthough hashrate is between 700 and 1400 MHs, again, expected time to share 2,8 days, time to block 9.5 hours, again......... Help!

The only thing you can do is increase your hashrate.

NOw my hashrate is 400~550 MHs after restarting, and my address is nowhere to be found on Current Payouts or the Active users, it appears that my address just wanishes from the p2pool.info.... Payout, in p2pool, is still 0.0000..........

Exactly. It'll stay like that until you find another share.

OK! But why did my address keeps dissapearing from the list? It happened before I restarted p2pool and cgminer...? It works good and just suddenly goes poof without any obvoius reason from my side. I mean, I didn't touch anything on my PC, but my address simply dissapears?

How can the website display a hashrate if it has no shares to base it off of? If you don't find a share for 3 days, you won't be in the sharechain again until you find another one.

Hello again beautiful people  

What is the best CGminer version for Litecoin and P2Pool?

We have the current P2Pool and are trying to tune our machines.

Is there a P2Pool dedicated thread that discusses this somewhere?

With the rise in difficulty of Bitcoin there is an opportunity for P2Pool to harness more GPU power for Litecoin.

We have switched our modest GPU farm to Litecoin recently and would like to use P2Pool, and not a commercial site.

Is there a dedicated thread for this somewhere?

Thanx

The list only shows addresses that have found a share recently enough to be owed a payment in the next block.  If you go for a long time without finding a share (as will happen with a low hashrate), you will not be on the list.

I've set up my P2Pool node at http://cryptominer.org/bitcoin/ to be more friendly to low hash-rate miners like yourself by counting pseudo-shares with a much lower difficulty than p2pool itself accepts. If you decide to use it, you will get a smaller, more regular payment. The amount should average out over the long term but will be more consistant on a day-to-day basis.

I have started mining there, but 5%?!?!

[gmaxwell]

Bitcoin(d|-qt) 0.8.4 is out now: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.4/

It fixes an easily exploitable remote node crashing bug, I _strongly_ recommend all P2Pool nodes upgrade ASAP.

Thank you for trying it out. At the moment my miners are ~60% of the hashrate on that node, so the effective fee for everyone else is only 2%.

Also, I mentioned in my thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=280780.0) that the service is running on quality HP c-Class blades hosted in a carrier grade data centre, not some cheap $10/month VPS and as the hashrate increases I will be reducing the fee percentage.

I think i will try to use p2pool now. Hopefully getting merged mining with all coins that bitparking is using to run and be able to set up coins that appear on coinchoose too. Maybe even possible to merge mine with other coins than bitcoin. Im not sure if thats easily possible.

What kind of server would you rent? I mean is a VPS safe enough or whats the best thing? I dont have a computer running all the time but my miners do. And im not sure if its a good idea to install p2pool on the raspi...

The bitcoin block chain is currently 14GB, so unless you use an external USB hard drive I think you'd have trouble getting that to fit, plus the RaspPi likely wouldn't have enough grunt.

You don't need to run your own instance of P2Pool, you can find a list of current nodes at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264533.0

http://www.ovh.ie/dedicated_servers/kimsufi_2g.xml

the ks-2g could run one adequately, but that, the ks-4g and the ks-16g are sold out

you can get an adequate server on hetzner too, via the robot bidding:

https://robot.your-server.de/order/market

i think you may already need a hetzner account, though.  those prices include 19% VAT

i've kept the whole blockchain in RAM, but it's not a big deal anymore

a vps would probably be OK if you can find one with, uh, 25GB?

[SebastianJu]

When i see the prices i realize it doesnt make much sense for 44GH (the ultracheap servers are all sold out). Unfortunately most p2pool-server have a fee and if they dont they dont mine all merge mine able coins. I had hoped to get a bit more profit since merge mining on bitparking.com has the transaction fee missing but paying a fee on a p2pool server or not mine all merge mine coins would be not much better. And renting a server would work for a couple months then the costs are higher than a pool fee. Not to speak of the work involved to set up. Guess i cant have everything... but thanks for the help.
