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

[Tibi]

Talking about getting the node to run stabil, mine keeps DISC, saying lost connection to bitcoinid . What could be cusing it . btw here is the node adresse : 85.165.254.113:9332

Maybe you m8s can check it out and see if everything is OK . Btw miners from North are welcome to mine at it = )

Forgot to ask do you lose any work done by the miners once you get disconected, will it affect the payout ? also where do you see how much will your payout be ?

Cheers m8s =)

I've installed a sandbox driver and sandboxed bitcoind, we'll see how this works out after a day or so, so-far-so-good.

P2Pool is PPLnS witch 3-day payout window. If you stop mine, and in 3 days we will NOT found any block - you get nothing more. If we found 10 blocks - you get some payout (decreasing each time).

when adding node's to p2pool is that the same as addnode= in the bitcoin.conf or do i need to make a seperate
config file for p2pool like this

--logfile /var/log/p2pool
--net bitcoin
--give-author 0
--no-bugreport
-f 0
--external-ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9330
--bitcoind-config-path /home/bitcoind/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
-n 10.0.0.2:8333
-n 104.238.174.252:9332
-n 80.74.153.50:9332
-n p2pool.servebeer.com:9332
-n xt.warp2

and load it with ./run_p2pool.py @p2.conf

It's not the same as Bitcoin.conf, you need to add them to p2pool either on the command line when started, or in an included conf file as you specified.

ok.

thx wasnt sure havent found any info about it

[notbatman]

Well it's been 24 hours since I sanboxed bitcoind (64bit on win 10) and there's no sign of a memory leak anymore. I'm still seeing the occasional lost contact with bitcoind message scroll by. However, it looks like I'm finally able to keep my node up without restarting it every day.

I should note this was an issue since the so-called "stress tests" started in September, the "test" being a misdirection/distraction from the actual attack vector (some kind of mirror attack perhaps?) I'll assume.

The attack seems to have switched focus to p2pool now that I've mitigated the bitcoind issues. Anybody else noticing unusual activity, or is it just me?

what have i done wrong.

i've added alot of node's from http://poolnode.info/ but when i look at the log from p2pool it says Pool: 1258TH/s somtimes it goes up
to 2000TH/s but like one week ago i saw it being up at 6PHs

shouldnt i get more speed when i add more node's with -n ip ?

That was just somebody running a test, 2PH is normal.

ok good that it wasnt my side thats wrong thx

[notbatman]

I should note that for the 48 hours before the 6PH came on-line "they" managed to orphan 90% of my shares somehow. So when all the blocks they mined rolled in I got fuck all. As soon as I got on-top of it they fucked off of-coarse.

[notbatman]

Currently they've managed to push my GBT latency to 10s and appear to be targeting p2pool with some kind of impotent attack. Fortunately it's having little to no effect, at least on my node (currently at 116.8% efficiency). However, I can see the pool rate currently plummeting below 1PH.

[windpath]

The pool rate is a best estimate based on the number of valid shares and difficulty.

It is an estimate and will fluctuate, often wildly.

The 24 hour average rate may be a more stable metric.

[notbatman]

My sandboxed bitcoind isn't working anymore it's started leaking memory or something again, I just had to restart it. Could Microsoft be working with Rand and Google to cause this? There must be teams of people working together to cause this, it can't be easy to get inside a sandboxed application.

not relevant ... for me.

[AndreyNag]

Hi all.
What do think about very low global pool rate?
How we can pull up global hashrate? We need 3-5Ph in continues time. Else p2pool will die in some month.
Bye.

[notbatman]

I've downloaded the p2pool binary and I've sandboxed that as the discussion on github suggests that python is being exploited to cause the memory leak in bitcoind.

Else p2pool will die in some month.

P2Pool is here since 2011 ... little boy !
