If I had the time, I'd love to organize a hackathon. Unfortunately, Bitcoin mining is a hobby and my own schedule prevents me from taking on a larger role. I'm sure a lot of others of us here are in the same boat. Oh well, when I win the Power Ball tomorrow, I'll have plenty of time on my hands Same here. And, honestly, if I had the time ... there are lots of things I'd be doing before rewriting p2pool. M

I mine at Kano's Pool because it pays the best and is completely transparent! Come join me!

Ah, but with the tips & donations you'd get from a complete re-write of p2pool in C you'd be able to just sit back & do what you want for the rest of your life!........

boys, need some info/help here. i downloaded latest version from github & managed to get it up & running in windows together with the req.
Python 2.7.9 (pywin32) Twisted 14.0.2 Zope.Interface 3.8.0 python win32 api python win32 api wmi wrapper 1.4.9
all of them are 32 bit versions, my pc is 64 bit (read somewhere that someone successfully ran it on 64 bit machine using 32 bit ver's cuz 64 bit ver's didnt work)
at first pool did not run properly came up with errors but after a while when it's done downloading some shares in the chain & a restart in bitcoin core it ran !
but after a while it hangs up especially when more miners are connecting to the node.
any ideas why ?

I just used the executable download from here: http://p2pool.in/#download Seems to work fine on 64 bit Windows.

people lost interest in p2pool? pool rate was 3ph+ in dec-jan, now its 1.5-2.5 PH max. Also dont know who is the big guy who comes in and goes out now and then. I see big deviation from 1.5PH to 2.5PH frequently. why arent the miners staying at the pool or pool has some problem?
It is very true what you say. That why i left the pool.

It is very true what you say. That why i left the pool. Right now the pool is showing: Global pool rate: 3.21 PH/s (DOA 438.63 TH/s / 13.67%) As far as someone big coming and going it could be a large miner that rents his hash out and when its not rented then its here.

To the DEV. This is not hop proof.
Set up that user who GHS drop for 30 min or more lose there shares and his shares will be distribute among the users who stay longest. This will make it hop proof and people will stay or go for good.
I was in P2pool for 6 months and it was the pool that pay the most, but since the bitcoin drop to 200 dollars it just died. If you look at the history 3 block per day and some days up to 5 blocks. I guest those days a long gone.
Thanks.

If you've been around here for 6 months as you state, you'll know that the dev does not interact with the community at all, so you're wasting your time asking for changes. There is no such thing as hop-proof. Nothing you do can prevent somebody from moving off of this pool and onto another. This pool is definitely not hopper friendly, though. It takes a long time to ramp up your shares on the chain. Because it takes so long for you to ramp up, it deters you from moving from pool to pool because you're not getting the full potential of your hashing power. It's the same with any PPLNS pool. Let's take an example. For our example, we have a miner who expects to find 1 share per day and the pool expects to find 1 block per day. If that miner only stays for 1 day, he'll only get 1 share on the chain. If he stayed for a week, he'd have 3 shares on the chain: Day 1 - 1 share Day 2 - 2 shares Day 3 - 3 shares Day 4 - 3 shares Day 5 - 3 shares ... Your suggestion doesn't work. For example, let's say that I'm a die-hard p2pool miner, but I don't own my own gear, I rent it. Let's say that I forgot to send coins to the rental site and my rental ends. I don't get it back up within the 30 minutes. According to your plan, I lose everything. What if that is 200TH/s worth of shares? Well, right now, that would get you about 2.5 BTC if a block were found. You're saying that this person should forfeit that 2.5 BTC. Yeah, good luck getting support for that. As for history, please do look at the historical block finds. Sure, p2pool has had some exceptionally lucky streaks. It's also had some pretty exceptionally bad luck streaks, too. You'll see that it's not all roses and 3 and 5 block days when the price of BTC was over $200. Take a look back through this thread and you'll see plenty of times people making posts about, "can we get a block please?" - even well before BTC dropped to its current price point.

Try my skydrive, just uploaded latest win64 builds.
I may check that out myself. Is there anywhere I can look to see what changes may be present in this build versus the tolder 13.4 build on the p2pool.in site?

If you're running a public node I suggest checking your graphs. Some dickhole is spamming work requests without doing any actual mining. It causes massive DOA spikes.
How long ago did this start. I am the only one on my node and it seems to be doing fine. Has anyone found anything yet on this.
