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

[sawa]

When mining DGB is part of the incompatibility is when 2 out of 3 miners with similar hash speed always have 90 percent less share?

Perhaps you have the illusion that the one who mining together with you, gets more payout? Although his hashrate is less than yours. In fact, he is mining on several p2pool nodes at once.
For example, DS53HJ8UiBfRAxpDJmKcGVsrzfN5GiPdVr has a small 2.37 TH/s hash but the payout is greater than the second miner having 8.76 TH/s:


This is his hashrate on the bound node:


In summary, the DS53HJ8UiBfRAxpDJmKcGVsrzfN5GiPdVr hashrate is 2.31+81.32 = 83.63 TH / s

Sawa,
Yes thank you for the clarifications I'm also asking Canan about why the Avalon has split accepted vs invalids on p2p. It was the same with btc.
Anyone I encourage giving this pool a try Sawa did a great job bringing altcoins into the mix using p2p

I tried to replicate the problem i had while merge mining, but since it took to long to re-sync a bitcoin node, i tried to merge mine DASH + UNITUS...
Had something strange that i can't seem to get fixed, can somebody push me in the right direction?

Setup: ubuntu 16.04 LTS
dash and unitus compiled, daemon running, sync'ed

cat ~/.dashcore/dash.conf

Code:

rpcuser=dashrpc
rpcpassword=[redacted]
server=1
daemon=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

cat ~/.unitus/unitus.conf

Code:

rpcuser=unitusrpc
rpcpassword=[redacted]
server=1
daemon=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

p2pool version: https://github.com/dashpay/p2pool-dash
p2pool started :

Code:

python run_p2pool.py --merged http://unitusrpc:[redacted]@127.0.0.1:50604/ --give-author 0.5 -f 0.5

My p2pool log:

Code:

The last line drew my attention, every 30-40 minutes i got a line just like it "Merged block submittal result: False Expected: True"


So i dug into the unitus debug log and found following things:

Could somebody push me in the right direction?

Don't blow a fuse sawa 
This is because you are merging a known coin with an unknown

[KyrosKrane]

Had something strange that i can't seem to get fixed, can somebody push me in the right direction?

I haven't merge-mined in a long time, but I remember having to set different RPC ports for each coin. Is that still needed?

Well, i have tried two merge mining setups, the first one couldn't find a share if it's life depended on it, the second one seems to be misconfigured, so i might not be the right person to give advice here... But if i did the setup more or less correct, you can set an rpcport if you want to, but if there is no conflict when using the default rpc port, it's not really necessary.

So I'm glad to say I have finally gotten my Bitcoin cherry popped by mining.....

And now that I have had that experience I guess I might be left slightly disappointed and perhaps might need a pointer or two in the right direction.

One thing might be that I might not know exactly what it is we uncover from a block.

I would be deeply appreciative if someone would be able to enlighten me and if anybody could entertain and English conversation over any medium that would be great.

I'm located in California on Pacific Time thank you so much for your consideration.

Why are you disappointed?
Sometimes blocks come in waves, one after another!

[justdigging]

I was under the impression when we hit a block,  either we processed more of the block, or there was a greater reward based on what was in the block.

Am to understand that whenever we hit a block that we receive about the same amount?

Where might I get s better understanding of What the reward for mining is,  and how it varies with in the pool?

I Thought there was an amount of bitcoin in s block and when a node hit a block, we discovered how many bitcoins were in the block,  and then based on our hash rate,  and number of miners in the pool, we were given a reward for mining/ processing the bitcoin network.....

Thank you for any insight and Enlightenment you can send my way and again I ask if anyone could have a conversation with me about these matters I really appreciate it.

 You just need to here http://p2pool.org/stats/
 Select the tab Active Miners
 Locate your Bitcoin Address
 And see your estimated reward 

[justdigging]

I am familiar with the process and Link you are referring to and I have been monitoring that ever since I started mining and I did start mining with this pool.

So what it looks like is we are rewarded for processing one piece of a block.

Are there variables as to what is contained in the block that affect the reward amount?

 The only variables are here  http://p2pool.org/learn/start.php
 And if you are a block finder you have a % , if you want you can dig more on this thread doing a search

Currently the block reward is 12.5 BTC, the variable is the # of transactions included in the block and the fees associated with those transactions. The transactions included in a given p2pool block are determined by the node that finds it. Your reward is based on the number of valid shares currently in the p2pool share chain, your reward is the same % of the block regardless of what node finds it.

[justdigging]

Thank you for that I believe when I review that further it will make more sense I'm driving at this time.

Where does your hashrate comes into play?

I was under the impression that the greater your hashrate the greater reward you receive as you are able to do more work in the same amount of time.

 If your hashrate is normaly under 1T, i think you will receive the pointless same thing 

[justdigging]

If your hashrate is normaly under 1T, i think you will receive the pointless same thing  

And what if it's NOT under 1T?

If you have 5,10,15,20,30+TH/s doesn't that make a difference?

I think that from 1 T is a growing arithmetic progression but that will stop at a certain time due to the current difficulty
