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

[tubexc]

 What a waste, I was mining for 3 hours on a node with shares not found 
 Version: 16.0-3-g7d52c04-dirty

Did you submit any valid shares?

I don't think so.
The node  (http://uk.p2pool.science:9332) has a large list of shares.
It's hard to find any of my shares if exists one.
But it's high ranked on http://p2pool.co/

At first glance the node appears to be functioning correctly. Perhaps either you ran into some bad luck, or have unrealistic expectations for your hashrate?

After submitting a valid share you should be able to find yourself here: http://uk.p2pool.science:9332/local_stats

Thanks for the clarification, I've already found at least one.
I was even thinking that this would have to do with fluttering in the price of bitcoins

[Exoskeleton]

Whoa! 10 PH/s 

My friend has been switching 100Ths over time to this pool and I think I'm going to add 1/3 of my hashrate too soon

I have a feeling that other pools I'm a part of are under attack in one way or the other and I want to diversify my mining right now.

Well done on the Block Dance, mate.

Hurray
Thanks

Nice to wake up to a block.
Even better to find it was one of my S9's that did it!

My first ever block wow that feels so good.

Very early S9 running rip off miner 1.0.0 never thought they could do it!

I upgraded the firmware to the latest non auto tune this week, maybe it was that maybe it was just chance!

Not bad for transactions and fees on my node either.
Glad to have not driven max block size down to much or restricted fees to much.
Finally looks like the hours of node tweaking have paid off as well.

That was a long drawn out one, thanks to those  who kept the hash here, even I was starting to get cold feet.
After buying a decent rack server to create a UK based node I guess that's kept me in the long haul.
We could do with some more Miners on p2Pool to improve on variance but overall still another good payout even for such a long duration!

Congratulations!
Did you have rebates or put everything from your pocket?

I gambled a lot on rental hash earlier in the week and last weekend. All those shares fell out the chain way before this block. I probably made a few dollars profit.

I'm not doing any more rental hash. Every time I think something will happen it never does.
I'm not a gambling man and I started getting into rental deep then realised what I was doing.

I think my time to educate people about bitcoin and mining p2Pool is worth more than rental hash any day.
Even with the low hash rate and high variance p2Pool still pays me more than any other pool.

Fingers crossed the block gods give us a chance of a good run for a while now.

http://p2pool.org/ site is down

http://p2pool.org/ site is down 

Sorry about that, I don't seem to be able to troubleshoot it remotely, looks like it will be down till Monday...

[tubexc]

And what happens if a block is found now that the main node is down?
Is it not accepted, lost or ignored?

Nothing changes... it's not a special node or main node, just another node on the network with a little more data on the front end

If you have your local p2pool-16.0:python console up you can see transactions happening and such. I run the p2pool node on linux and I keep the console up so I can make sure things are actually happening. It also gives local information on hash rate, (as it is scrolling past).

Not sure how this would work in windows or mac though.

[lightfoot]

Likewise my full node here is running fine (I have a token amount of hash running, enough to keep the house warm)

 But you can see the pool luck or not ?

Would be nice to know how windpath coded the stats page on p2Pool.org.
I would like to duplicate those extra stats on my node some place.
Useful information to know.

If you dig back through this thread I shared most of the calculations the node uses.

The PITA is setting up, populating, and then updating a DB...

Managed to get the node back up remotely, not sure what happened, will review the logs on Monday.

Ok cool I'll certainly have another trawl through.
I've gone over a lot of this thread already but was more than likely looking for something else and missed it.
Don't mind a database challenge now and again

Mine is a LAMP soulutuon, checks for new blocks every minute via cron, pulls the rest from existing p2pool end points and BTC cli, it's ugly and amateur otherwise I'd release it

[dzimmerm56]

I have a couple of questions.

1) How to configure my p2pool node as a full node that accepts incoming miners and properly reimburses them?

2) What in the HE double tooth pics happened between p2pool.in and p2pool.org? There seems to be something weird that happened and no search I have done on google or bitcointalk seems to provide any history or background. I went with the information provided by p2pool.org when I noticed the p2pool.in stats page appears to have stopped working sometime in 2015 between January and March. Being as it is now January 2017 it appears that p2pool.in was no longer providing network stats. Further research shows that p2pool.in was merged into p2pool.org's info when the GIT repository was changed from p2pool/forestv to p2pool/p2pool . Unfortunately there are still several places where there are dire warnings about using p2pool.org verses p2pool.in on various webpages and even on the old GIT for forestv. I heard references that forestv had taken a leave due to personal issues but I have not seen any official retraction stating that p2pool.org is ok to use.

The confusion surrounding question 2 needs to be addressed as I am thinking it is blocking many miners from choosing to go with p2pool in any form. Contradictory information often does not lead to wrong action, it leads to no action.

If this is too personal or touchy a subject then please email me with a response at dzimmerm56"at"g m a i l . c o m. (you will need to intelligently fix the addy, but I know all of you are intelligent)
