How do we update P2Pool without loosing all our downloaded sharechain?
run two programs at the same time once the first one downloads the chains and says that there are two running close the other one

"bitcoinuser" and "bitcoinpassword" are the rpcuser and rpcpassword set in your bitcoin.conf file. What's the difference between bitcoin and rpc? Any other windows 7 user who are trying to implement code you can do it by creating a shortcut of run_p2pool.exe to the desktop. Right click the select properties. Once there find the target do not erase this. What you want to do is put a space at the very end after run_p2pool.exe and start typing in your code. run_p2pool.exe --irc-announce --outgoing-conns 10 --address yourbitcoinaddressforfeestogoto --fee 0 --give-author .5 --net bitcoin bitcoinuser bitcoinpassword The code im referring to can be found under Option Reference at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2PoolI failed at making a .bat like you could make for cgminer but you may be able to do it that way too if anyone knows how to make it start from there please post.

The RPC is an API for your bitcoin node, without the user and pass set p2pool wont be able to get the info it needs from bitcoin to mine.... https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_%28JSON-RPC%29

I've been running P2Pool on Linux for about a year and decided to look for updates... I'm hoping that the 'bug' causing all my shares to be lost when I restart the pool has been fixed.
I'm confused; there are a multitude of 'p2pool' projects on GitHub
What is considered to be the latest 'official' repository for the p2pool code
Or.. can anyone spell out what the different 'good' repositories are, and what the differences between them are ?

The official p2pool repo is forrest's: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/Rav3n's got his own that has support for a boatload of alt coins: https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-ravWhen you restart p2pool, the UI resets your local share count to 0. You don't actually lose shares on the chain, it's just that the UI only tracks shares found on your node since the last restart.

Are you using the default interface? The one I like is https://github.com/johndoe75/p2pool-node-statuswhich you can see in live use here: http://us-east.royalminingco.com:9332/static/If you want the "time to share" info down on the miner line, you need to go into p2pool-node-status after you clone it and try "git branch devel". That will update it to support the extended API stats needed.

I recall (unless I'm confused) that p2pool uses a PPLNS window of N=3 blocks, so if blocks are found frequently, shares will last 3 blocks of time. However when blocks are taking longer to be found like at the moment, is it 3 days before shares will expire off the end of the max sharechain size? I couldn't quite remember if it was 3 days or some other period of time.

From here: Each share contains a generation transaction that pays to the previous n shares, where n is the number of shares whose total work is equal to 3 times the average work required to solve a block, or 8640 (= 24 hours of shares), whichever is smaller.

So if blocks are only found every 2 days, say, all shares found in the first day of searching are lost before the block is found? Giving us basically an N=.5 window? That doesn't seem right.

Is that something new with the S5? I have S3s and replacing the binary is certainly not in volatile memory. I've heard that changes you make to the init.d scripts might get lost on reboot. Yes, I know at least the init screpts are lost, but perhaps you're right and the binary is not in volatile memory. I personally haven't tested it to be sure. I tested it, and yes the binaries are lost upon reboot, so you would have to run a script to update 4.8.0 → 4.9.0.

…as reported by P2Pool? It says the units are "13/(H/s)".
