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

[P2XTPool]

I have created a pull request that will ensure that the running bitcoind is supporting the correct softforks. The latest 0.11D build of bitcoinXT does support bip65, and works with this fix.

As many miners switch off their older (but p2pool compatible) miners due to inefficiency & electrical costs, I can't help but wonder what the future holds for p2pool unless a manufacturer steps up with something to rival bitmain or a dev steps in who can fix the broken bitmain firmware for use with p2pool. I can't hold my breath long enough for that to happen, & the more I think about it, the more I dislike bitmain - both their broken firmware & their empty block producing crappy SPV pool with zero support......

Spondoolies - rescue us please?  

Spondoolies have left the building. Their next generation is for farms only unless they come up with another product (which might happen).

The Avalon A6s will work well with p2pool but as per the last generation they're pricier than the bitmain product.

Yeah, I said that more out of jest/desperation than seriousness......

Like you say, the A6's are just not worth it, unless the BTC rate starts to skyrocket......soooooon

Please forgive me if I missed it but do we have the option of a BIP101 bitcoind with the new p2pool yet?

You can download my fork of p2pool here https://github.com/Hannott/p2pool

I don't know where you can download the latest 0.11D of bitcoinXT right now, but it works with that.
Or you can run Core if you want to, p2pool just tags the block with bip101 regardless

You mean just your fork there, right?

It's alive! (barely) The 21 Bitcoin Computer running P2Pool (proof of concept)

Badass!

My fork can run both with core and XT but it will publish bip101 blocks if you find one

Badass! 

wait, ask the price before ...  for a 90GH/s performance.
you may be a little surprise of the power vs. price ratio.

FWIW the 21 chip was not mining to the node, just wanted to see load with P2Pool and 21 mine running... Again proof of concept, no way a single 21 comp would be able to keep a share in the P2Pool chain.

Hey, I have a problem
I am not able to connect to this pool, can someone help me.

What node & settings are you using?

Ok, for the glory, i understand this

Well, while a single 21 comp would not maintain a share, a few hundred or thousand certainly could...

BLOCK!! 

[Meuh6879]

Well, while a single 21 comp would not maintain a share, a few hundred or thousand certainly could...

and ...   I see the goal, now : propose a package for developping plateform ... discharged on the P2Pool instead of variable (and shutdowning) pools collection.

Note the new P2Pool Hardfork version 15 currently does not support the BitcoinXT client (neither the 0.11C nor pre-release 0.11D version) and won't fully startup unless you're running BTCore 0.11.2.  

Forest: when BitcoinXT gets the BIP65 pull request merged in, will P2Pool be able to support the resulting BXT version #?

I'm not sure what version number they'll use, but when they release it (and somebody tells me), I will whitelist it and release P2Pool 15.1.

Hey Forrestv, v0.11D of BitcoinXT is now officially released with support for BIP65: https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt/releases/tag/v0.11D

I tried raising those two parameters in bitcoin.conf and it made absolutely no difference, in fact I had 10s latency from the outset whereas it usually takes several hours to get to 10s.

Nice to get two payouts today though after a weekend of famine.
