Hi, I'm very new to bitcoin mining. I'm following the guide in http://p2pool.inI have a few question: When the p2pool start, it creates a wallet in bitcoin core. lets call it Wallet A. and me and my friend setup the miner with the username Wallet B and Wallet C. My question is when assuming I get something. Does the payment go to Wallet A or Wallet B and C automatically? Hey There are two separate parts to running your own node. Bitcoin core (Which has wallet capabilities but warning using these wallets while running full node required for p2pool https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node ) P2pool (when you start p2pool using "python run_p2pool.py" add parameter -a {YOUR BITCOIN ADDRESS HERE}) EXAMPLE OF RUNNING P2POOL WITH DEFINED WALLET (python run_p2pool.py -a 1MuRbSfrKi6KErZjGfiMec76dEkt12fbvg) When you point your miner to p2pool you also define your wallet under worker aka username but setup above will be a backup just in case you messed up something. Hope this answers it send me a PM if you need any further help. Can you a little bit explain to me what is the advantage of running full node? at the moment I only open port 9332 and 9333 so that my friend can connect to my p2pool. I think I need to open port 8333 to run full node but I don't know what is the advantage of running full node? as far as I know from jonny explanation is that the BTC address is useless unless someone mine on my p2pool node and not using their BTC address in their username or unless I want to setup a -f (fee) on my p2pool node to receive fee. otherwise it will not be use for payment ? In all running a full node connects you with more than 8 peers for an array of purposes mainly in our case mining check the link for exactly what bitcoin core does. Your required to run a full node for p2pool to work properly. Here a link for more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153232.0I recommend you read this full it will answer some questions you may have. If you set things up right at every step parameter -a could be considered "useless". I think its a must and should be setup just-in-case-shit.

If you set things up right at every step parameter -a could be considered "useless". I think its a must and should be setup just-in-case-shit. Thanks luther for the explanation. So my current setting is as follows: run bitcoin core with the bitcoin.conf as per http://p2pool.in instruction. run p2pool with --give-author 0 -a MyBTCAddress open port 8333, 9332, 9333 did I missing something or I'm good to go? and another thing I saw many pool use stratum+tcp... is there any noob guide to setup this? I read from slushpool for this protocol. ohh and I read somewhere that it is better to put /1000+128 with every GHz hash rate I have? and I will have better chance of getting share? Is it true? Whats the recommended value? and can anyone tell me what is txfee? •0% fees and PPLNS earnings. (The tx fee is not paid out to miners for maintaining cost and the bonus for our engineers.) is Antminer S7 Batch 11 any good not in terms of hash rate but in like durability, etc.? Can I use this on my own p2pool? Any good recommended rigs out there? Why does I see so many A (Accepted Share) in bfgminer but my AS (Active Submission is still 0? Is there any how much Accepted Share equal to 1 AS ? Thanks.

1) Opening ports 9332, 8333 and 9333 means you're running a full BTC node and publicly accessible p2pool node.
2) P2Pool supports stratum by default. You don't need to do anything. Just set your miner to use stratum+tcp://your.ip.address:9332
3) Putting "/" and/or "+" doesn't increase your odds of finding a share. Well... the "/" *might* if you're mining on a node that has a ton of hashing power and defaults to a share value higher than p2pool minimum... but not really relevant if you're the only miner on the node.
4) Transaction fees are the fees BTC users pay for their transactions to be included in blocks. The bit you quoted is from Antpool. Just ignore that crap. Standard p2pool (i.e. running your own node) includes paying the transaction fees to miners.
5) I don't own an S7, but reports have shown that, like other Bitmain products, the S7 suffers on p2pool because of the crap fork of cgminer they use.
6) I have no idea about bfgminer or active submission, sorry.

thanks jonny, do you know any recommended ASIC? I thought that cgminer become bfgminer, is it not? what is the main difference between these two?

One thing i'll disagree with is that you should get in a habit of setting your difficulty. Especially with touchy equipment. And make sure you stay and pressure your company you purchased your miner from to updated cgminer on their firmware.

Clicked on the contact page and it sent me here. Bottom of "Read This First" JavaScript hover (WHICH SHOULD BE A DISTINCT PAGE, BUT NOT HERE TO DISCUSS WEB DESIGN) says "Close this window and click to stat mining" The stat should be start. Someone should notify the webmaster. I would, but again, the contact link is a fricken useless link that just says to come here. So someone here hopefully knows the webmaster contact and get it fixed. -=- The concept of p2pool I like. The web page - everything I hate about modern web design. But at least it can be everything I hate with noticed spelling errors fixed... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'm pretty sure p2pool.org is maintained by windpath. However, you can see they've got a github repo. You could always fork it, fix it and make a pull request ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Could someone please throw some extra hashpower into p2pool? We could certainly use it, as the 3 day valid share period is way too less when not finding any block in 16 days...

What's the pool hashrate at? I've been mining alts for a bit. Not to be critical of Bitmain at all but um yeah, I'm not going to tinker with that firmaware at all... So I use https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav as stratum proxy for solo mining alts. C:\Users\Not Batman\Desktop\p2pool-rav\p2pool\networks\batcoin.py
PERSIST = False BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS = ''.split(' ')
Could I just upload my own cgminer or go pro with bfgminer to the ram disk, yeah but then I don't get all sorts of useful information and it's better that the interface with the node is on the same box.

The attention from an Ethereum p2pool would probably bring in additional SHA hashers.

when global power rise ... and P2Pool is stable (or decline like now), you can't fight. it's only 0,5 Ph/s after all. http://bitcoin.sipa.be/
