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

[macdaddy]

I have a P2Pool node up and running and I've been testing it a few days. It's been running stable and I was wondering how I should publish it for other folks to use. It's running on a hosted server so latency should be low.  Doing some searches, I didn't find anything other than the announce to IRC channel switch (that didn't work). Any help would be appreciated, I just didn't want to throw it out there in the wrong place.

How do I manually update bitcoind on Ubuntu? apt-get is still out of date.

You need build it from sources. Clone git and make/qmake ;]

No, he don't. Linux binary is here:
https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz

Will that mess up an apt-get install at all?

You might want to uninstall the old apt package so you don't accidentially run the wrong one at some point. But the binary is a standalone with no separate includes, libraries, etc needed. Just put the bitcoind wherever you want and run it from there directly.

Thanks, I went ahead and did that. For now I'll just stick to manual updates of bitcoind so I don't have to rely on the PPA.

PPA wasn't out of date. 0.9.1 only linked against the patched openSSL. there was no need to release a new version in the PPA since ubuntu patched it for you. There was a discussion about this on the mailing list. They probably should have released 0.9.1 into the PPA to clear up confusion, but 0.9 in the PPA is the same as home-built 0.9.1

how to up p2pool node of Doubloons DBL coin??

[jonnybravo0311]

So I've been playing around with p2pool quite a bit, digging through code, modifying front end code to display things, etc.  I've got a question that I hope people can help answer:

How do I get more information into the JSON queries?

For example, in the global_stats, I see something like this:

{"min_difficulty": 479474.8692329195, "pool_stale_prop": 0.1111111111111111, "pool_hash_rate": 136727809739777.47, "pool_nonstale_hash_rate": 121535830879802.19}

How would I add to that to get things like "expected_time_to_block", "last_block_found", "total_network_hashrate"?

Currently I've fudged the first two by hooking into p2pool.info directly to retrieve the data, but I'd like to have it come from the global_stats.

Thanks for the help!

"Warning: LOST CONTACT WITH BITCOIND "

Hi,

I'm having  a problem with my Dogecoin windows (32 bit) p2pool and would appreciate some help.

I installed Dogecoin p2pool for window by following these instructions:
http://www.reddit.com/r/dogemining/comments/1wmw3j/how_to_setup_p2pool_locally_windows

The pool was running great for a day when I started having connection issues.
For some reason connection to the p2pool or connection between the pool and the wallet QT is lost.
The connection is lost 2 or 3 min after starting the p2pool. After that it's on and off connection.

I disabled the firewall and anti-virus just to be sure its not blocking the connection, but that doesn't look like the cause.
Both uPnP in Windows and my router are turned on.

Here are some lines from my  log file:

Thanks, I'll have a look.  I'm not much of a windows programmer - I think the last time I touched an MS development environment was about 12 years ago, but I'll take a look through the code to see some examples of what you've done.

How do i find out what i am owed on p2pool.org ?

I have disconnected my 1Th miner, mining BTC, where do i look/search

You should contact them on their support thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=176938.0

p2pool.org is just a public node like many people run, it's not an official site/service/etc of the P2Pool project (which this thread is for).

It doesn't work like that with p2pool. You connect using a bitcoin address, and whenever a block is found it is automatically paid out. You earn shares in the pool while you mine on there (shares are distributed across all p2pool nodes). You can even switch between p2pool nodes (eg if one goes down), and your shares are kept up to date and continue. I've got 3 backup nodes set up on my miners.

Some sites have a stats section where you can see how much you can expect to be paid if a block is found "now", and you'll get that, like this one: http://blisterpool.com/stats

For example, P2pool just found a block about 5 minutes ago, and I found that out from my bitcoin client, which told me I just got generation coins. Blisterpool is a p2pool node, but this one in particular pays out a bonus in dvc based on hashpower if you register a btc/dvc address pair.

Thank you!

Well, you probably have an old version of dogecoin.

Did you cut 1m40s out of the log, or is that exactly what it looked like?  If that's so, it's definitely an old version of dogecoin.  (and a slow machine)

if not, the only connection you've maintained is 127.0.0.1.  so you have a connectivity issue

[PublicP2poolNode]

I'm running a node, hosting a pool, thanks to you forestv... I am currently renting some hashing power and would have more options if I could enable stratum on my pool as many of my options only support stratum protocol. Any ideas where I could look into enabling stratum protocol on my p2pool node/pool?

[jonnybravo0311]

p2pool supports stratum.
