Howto get latency of bitcoin-qt low? I am just now around 0.5s

Install bitcoin v0.11. Add to your bitcoin.conf:

maxconnections=10

then run bitcoin-qt and look connections in debug witdow. Choose IPs with lowest latencies and add them to your bitcoin.conf. Add there not more then 4 the best.

addnode=x.x.x.x

Bull.
You can do same adding
timeout=150
BUT it will NOT give you better GBT.

Hey I've been trying to optimize my bitcoind for p2pool any tips. As to settings, what kind of peers I should allow, where to find those peers, etc.
What do you think about his I been banning rbf peers kind of an actives activity.

[luthermarcus]

How do you figure your sharechain was corrupted?

I'm not sure, I can only put it down to the bad peers, which I've now blocked - no problems since 

Ok so i started to block peers who are not up to date and now i am seeing a spam request of parent share over and over which will not go away.

I update my P2P to version 14.0-9 and bitcoin to v0.11 and my GBT is now <1s as it was before the change from v13 to v14. I have not blocked any peers as the application seems to be doing it's job since now after the initial P2P v14 was not able to block v13 peers (thanks forrestv). My GBT had been at >3s before this last update. Can't say this is a coincident or not just providing my status.

It's transaction related.

Not sure why your front-end is doing this windpath, but it's showing the latest block found by p2pool as orphaned:



That block wasn't orphaned...

It's fixed now, thanks. It happens when I restart bitcoin and leave the node running, forgot to correct it yesterday

[jonnybravo0311]

No problem.  I just happened to check the blocks and saw that was orphaned... and I was like, "Huh?  I swear I got BTC for that... let me check."

You've limited your connections to 8 and like the message says all slots are being used. Either remove '--max-conns 8' and '--outgoing-conns 4' or increase the number of connections you're allowing.

[p3yot33at3r]

Or just restart your coin daemon - p2pool will then kick in  

[majsta]

Hi tnx ppl for fast response but this problem is not because

--max-conns 8 --outgoing-conns 4

It is the same without it. Also reset does not help. This must be something else related to this specific coin because I have no problems running other coins p2pool.
Also p2protocol version changed to

VERSION = 1004

Because that's what getinfo reports

Oh, that's p2pools max connections, way to make me look foolish. Your bitcoind must have its connections limited in a similar fashion.

Delete 'maxconnections=8' from bitcoin.conf or increase the number of allowable connections.



If that doesn't work then it's proof positive that I am in fact a fool.

[majsta]

There is no such value in .conf file, but what could be confusing here is taking P2P_PREFIX from his specific coin.
According to this:

pchMessageStart[0] = 0xf1;
pchMessageStart[1] = 0xb4;
pchMessageStart[2] = 0xdc;
pchMessageStart[3] = 0x9e;

P2P_PREFIX should look like this:

P2P_PREFIX = 'f1b4dc9e'.decode('hex') #pchmessagestart

[notbatman]

I missed the fact the .conf file was posted, doh.

Ok, one more try...

Is Joincoin based on Bitcoin-Core?

I see 'rpcconnect=*' and 'rpcallowip=*' I recall something about this no longer being allowed syntax... let me see...

Change to 'rpcconnect=::/0' and 'rpcallowip=::/0' and see what happens. Also if you're using wild cards like that all those additional addresses are redundant.

[majsta]

Yes I know that wildcards are not used anymore but still there is a:

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

and

rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

I m really thankful for your time trying to help and this becoming real interesting task
Last two days I m working on this

[notbatman]

lol, give it a try if Joincoin is in fact using Core =* could be mucking up the works. Try deleting it or changing it to =::/0

[majsta]

Hehe, yes I did try but still the same problem.

[p3yot33at3r]

Doesn't joincoin use TOR? I've never tried using p2pool over TOR, but I'm sure it requires a slightly different configuration, ie:

Code:

 -tor=<ip:port>         Use proxy to reach tor hidden services (default: same as -proxy)

Just a thought......

[majsta]

Hm this is interesting and worth investigating. However, now I have no idea how to use p2pool over TOR?
