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

[p3yot33at3r]

On a positive note, the pool is up to 291 miners..

30 day luck of 127% didn't hurt, I bet.

Yup, let's hope that luck continues

The primary P2Pool repository has moved from https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool to https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool. GitHub redirects should ensure that everything continues to work, but efforts should be made to use the new URL instead of the old one.

Oh my, 3 blocks in 24h. 


Oh and forrest,

Trying to complie scrypt module on my win2008 r2 Server.
I insralled python2.7 and the newest mingw. While i Compiler the Module i got this Error

I tried it with Python 32 Bit and 64 Bit. But always the same Error.
A p2pool fort Terracoin and Bitcoin is working in this Server.

Who can help?
Tank you

[p3yot33at3r]

I've never touched scrypt I'm afraid, so am unable to help. Maybe if you asked in the relevant altcoin thread?

Just a heads up for anyone merge mining, many coins are upgrading to the latest core versions, resulting in some of them being incompatible with p2pool, namely NMC, HUC & CRW so far that I'm aware of, but there may be more, details here:

https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool/issues/270#issuecomment-138758888

Forrestv has addressed the issue, but I've not had time to test it due to work commitments, so if anyone merge mining could update to the latest p2pool version & give him feedback it would be appreciated. Fair play to forrestv for being on the ball 

Oh, we just got a block!!   

[luthermarcus]

I'm getting this message with bitcoin core.

EXCEPTION: MSt8ios_basefailureE
String length limit exceeded
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe in ProcessMessages0

Anyone know why?

[Polyatomic]

um, looks like you've trimmed too much context man!
can you post more ...

Update on this, merge mining is working again with the latest p2pool version & the altcoin "core" versions. Anyone who is using the latest core versions of altcoins for merge mining should update to the latest p2pool version in order for merge mining to work again.

Thanks again forrestv

Anyone know why current p2pool wouldn't download the share chain?
I decided to fire up p2pool to test some antminer code - but grabbed current p2pool git - and it says everything connecting ok on startup but drops any remote connections before downloading any shares for the share chain.

Current git is of course a6f3f9259a5ea4975e961946b7ad7fe941ac76be

e.g.

Code:

2015-09-13 21:21:44.519528 Outgoing connection to peer 72.14.191.28:9333 established. p2pool version: 1400 '14.0-9-g4e5afe9'
2015-09-13 21:21:45.731987 Outgoing connection to peer 62.213.58.41:9333 established. p2pool version: 1400 '14.0'
2015-09-13 21:21:45.846680 Lost peer 62.213.58.41:9333 - Connection to the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion.
2015-09-13 21:21:59.520494 Lost peer 72.14.191.28:9333 - Connection was aborted locally, using.

Permanently staying at 0 shares in chain

I've used the same startup settings I used back in July (and I've used p2pool for testing on and off since back in Feb-2013)
Just now it won't work any more.

Hiya kano,

I think the current spamming is playing havoc atm. Have you tried binding to a running node using the "--p2pool-node" option in the startup syntax? Once it's connected you should be fine, it's just the initial chain download that seems to be a problem.

Hiya kano,

No, though I'm not sure where to get the address list from.
I believe p2pool.info isn't the source any more.
... and I was thinking that since I had 3 addresses all doing the same that may or may not help - i.e. some other problem may be the cause.
So what would be a reliable address in your opinion

I use elizium as it's stable & has a good ping, but as you're in Oz it might be better to have a look at http://nodes.p2pool.co/ for a node closer to you (just ignore the red XT advert/propaganda on the site.... )

EDIT - If you need it, elizium.name:

Code:

--p2pool-node 95.170.95.133

[kano]

Well I picked the closest node to me (less than 100km away)
That did the same.
However, finally I seem to be getting shares - Yay - now getting more than just the original 3 addresses and the others are staying connected.

Code:

2015-09-13 23:19:31.172225 P2Pool: 0 shares in chain (0 verified/697 total) Peers: 7 (0 incoming)

Hopefully they'll verify some time soon ...
Thanks for your help

Hello btcscot - welcome to the p2pool thread 

Cent OS is Linux based isn't it? I've never used Cent OS - but I presume the setup would be the same as Ubuntu - which is also Linux based.

Not 100% sure though, maybe someone with a little more savvy could chime in......

thanks yeah managed to get the guy that has the vps to install ubuntu all be it in german but quickly changed that lol

Good stuff. There's a guide at the very beginning of this thread, or you can use this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=651819.0;topicseen

..& just use what you need to get up & running. Some of the links are a bit outdated - I keep meaning to write an updated install guide, but keep getting side-tracked, etc......

If you have any questions, just ask here - someone will point you in the right direction.....eventually.
