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

[CartmanSPC]

btw, how do we know & how can we find out who mined a particular block in p2p besides irc announcing it.

I believe it is in the block details somewhere. Look at the wallet transaction detail. I'm sure I saw it at one time somewhere when a friend was creating an online wallet that supported p2pool....sorry I can't be more specific. It's been over a year.

Unfortunately, there really isn't a way to identify which miner found the block.  The block itself doesn't provide insight into any particular miner.  The generation transaction just lists out how to breakdown the 25BTC.  You could feasibly look at shares to find out who submitted it, but then again, unless it was your own miner, any block created by an orphaned/dead share wouldn't be broadcast to the share chain.

This may not be the right place for this but I had this site open...

http://p2pool.info/

And received several cha-ching sounds. I have no problem with that but it took me a while to track down as we haven't actually found a block in quitea while. It also doesn't seem to correlate with anyone else finding a block either (but I'm checking blockchain.info so who knows )

Also, the "recent block" list is about 4 months old.

(Just did it again)

http://p2pool.info/  hasn't worked for months - use http://minefast.coincadence.com/p2pool-stats.php  instead

and use http://nodes.p2pool.co/ to find P2Pool server ...

OK, looks like I need to do some bandwidth limiting to keep the family happy (p2pool is very bursty and saturates my bandwidth). I've modified the tc.sh script to add in port 9333 (as a separate class). What are minimum settings to still be a happy and contributing member to p2pool?


Edit: Even with severely restricted bandwidth settings, to the degree that I could hardly tell the difference on my router's bandwidth viewer, it was still affecting my daughter's ping quite badly. And I'm sure I had things set low enough to where I was probably damaging my participation in the pool.

I would use the router's QOS but I've had issue with that in the past with that killing my payouts with quite generous settings. It also knobbles my work videophone (again with generous settings) so I'm not sure what that's about.

I'll do some experimenting over the weekend.

Try limit number of connections, not transfer rate.

Not surprising with the drop in active mining on P2Pool the last few days.  Active miner accounts have been somewhat steady, but it seems people have been taking their hashes elsewhere lately.

That said... BOOM we just got a block.

I do not understand why people no mining p2pool.
If p2pool kept 2-4 ph/s we would have a couple of blocks per day

[Meuh6879]

because they don't understand ...
because of the all-in-1 miner that it's not requiert skills to use it (rich can mine without geek skills) ...
that why i trust more in a strong and serious website that it expose somes publics nodes (with fees) of P2Pool ...

[notbatman]

No 3rd party makes p2pool really really awesome!

"they" (the ubiquitous they) can't hack, DDoS or pay-off monster pool to screw me nor can "they" play man-in-the-middle attack & jack. 

[p3yot33at3r]

Looks like a few "luck chasers" have moved on & missed that last block......more for me 

[Richy_T]

Whee, I got a chunk of this one. I'll be back on board as soon as I can work out not killing my daughter's ping.

[yslyung]

ah ha we just hit a block not not shown on my node. maybe an orphaned thing again ?

wanna see 4 or MOARRR ! in couple of hours while picking up more shares.

it's not the P2Pool that it kill your connexion ... it's the Bitcoin Core upload block to users.
restrict the connexion of Bitcoin Core (but, keep in mind that P2Pool can be block because of this, the lack of opened connexion).

i restrict to 30 connexions and 150MB of cache.

It's because the block was found by an orphaned or dead share.  When that happens, the UI doesn't show it because it relies upon the shares in the share chain.  Windpath's node shows them because he scrapes the blockchain for p2pool blocks .
