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

[jonnybravo0311]

Yes.  You will need to stop the currently running p2pool instance, and then start a new one (the python command) for whatever OS you're using.  I posted the Linux/OS X commands.  Somebody who runs a Windows install could give you the proper syntax for that OS.

Got it up and running whit the code you provided. it works on windows you just have to cmd to the folder where p2pool is then use the code along whit it . Thanks guys for the help node up and running =)

Well done!

Welcome to the decentralized "in crowd"

Thanks m8 is there a way to make a better p2pool dashboard site ? edit the html maybe if so where and how.

There are a number of front ends available...

hardcpp's - https://github.com/hardcpp/P2PoolExtendedFrontEnd
johndoe75's - https://github.com/johndoe75/p2pool-node-status
justino's - https://github.com/justino/p2pool-ui-punchy

Installation is pretty much the same for them all - replace the contents of your web-static folder with it.  In case you want to keep your original (again, commands are *nix based):

Code:

cd p2pool
mv web-static web-static_orig
mkdir web-static
cd web-static
git clone https://github.com/justino/p2pool-ui-punchy.git

[Tibi]

just what i was looking for thanks =) PS: do you have have it maybe for win?

[windpath]

ps : do you have it maybe for windows ?

You can just rename the web-static folder, download the front end of your choice, create a new web-static folder with the front end index and anything else in it, and pull up the page...

got it up and running thanks again .

Hi all just abit offtopic. I started using p2pool got it setup and running on my local node. Now just a quick qustion how to make my node public so that i can have some of my friends connect to it.

Thanks in advance.

Not off topic at all.  Assuming you have a BTC p2pool node setup, you'll need to open up port 9332.  To be a "good" citizen, you should have the following ports open:

8333 - BTC peers
9333 - p2pool peers
9332 - p2pool miners

Note that opening up 8333 and 9333 will allow multiple peers to connect and you will see higher bandwidth usage.

both of protocols? or just TCP?

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.

Like that you represent in your tag name!

will "timeout=150" parameter of bitcoind allow only peers below that limit? if yes, you are absolutelly correct that should solve it. my gbt is around 0.4 just now with parameters I used (maxconnections=10 and manually choosed addnodes). but I see spikes sometimes (once a day or less often) whose are blocking for a while whole my node... is there any solution to filter it? look graph added

[zvs]

I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to GBT latency, unless it's absurdly high... check some other p2pools, the block sizes, and the GBT they're getting.  

Block size will have the biggest impact on your GBT times... more transactions, the higher it goes.  e.g. I put nogleg.com:9332 up just for the hell of it, and the GBT times are super low, because all the blocks being created are just 1 transaction, that's with maxblocksize=1000 set in bitcoin.conf.

ed: less confusing statement:  if you think yours is too high, you could lower that value (default is 1MB now?  or maybe still 750KB) until it maxes out at what you'd like it to max at.  you'll have less transactions included, though.

ben mininig for 1.6 days now and still Payout if a block were found NOW: 0 BTC what does this meen ? do i need more THS?
here is the link to the node : 85.165.223.226:9332

I think it means you are not mining to the default address. You currently have 2 miners mining on your node, both using wallet addresses. If these are your only miners then it's all good. Your latency & efficiency are all good also. Only the 1% fee your node charges miners will be paid to the default address.

[Tibi]

Thanks for the headsup so the defulte addrese is the one shown on the p2pool dashboard after the payout if a block were found NOW: 0 BTC to: Should i make the  miners mine to the defulte addresse ?

[p3yot33at3r]

No. The default address is your bitcoind that p2pool is connected to & that p2pool generates when first connected. It's always safer to not have any coins in that wallet anyway. As long as one/all of those bitcoin addresses listed on your node stats page is yours then you're good to go. Everything is fine, really  

Edit:  If you want the default payment address to be a different wallet (safer) you can change it by adding:

Code:

-a your_bitoin_address

..to the p2pool startup command.

[Tibi]

aha ok cool cheers

[p3yot33at3r]

aha ok cool cheers

No problem. Suggest you change the default address to the one you are mining with on a separate wallet if possible. Then you will see the correct payment due in the default payment stats to the wallet address you specify

Payments will come when a block is found right ? or better said how frequent should payments come. checked the wallet and no payment came inn

[TheAnalogKid]

Payments will come when a block is found right ? or better said how frequent should payments come. checked the wallet and no payment came inn

Typically 12-18 hours after a block is found, as it needs to go through full confirmations before payout.

That's a little misleading... the payments arrive immediately when the block is found.  They are generated coins, so they show as "Immature" in your wallet.  You must wait the 101 confirmations before you can spend them.

Thanks for the headsup so the defulte addrese is the one shown on the p2pool dashboard after the payout if a block were found NOW: 0 BTC to: Should i make the  miners mine to the defulte addresse ?

The bitcoind I have running my p2pool node doesn't even have the wallet functionality compiled in to it.  It's purpose is to process transactions and create blocks .  I point p2pool to another address as p3yot33at3r described earlier.  In either case, that address exists because p2pool needs to know who to pay any fees to, and also who to pay if a miner is mining on your node with an invalid BTC address.
