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

[maqifrnswa]

Hey Kano,

Check this out:
https://github.com/luke-jr/BitForce_SC/blob/e9e6a41fd76050a3aea2ab973c808f4cede174eb/BitForce_SC/HostInteractionProtocols.h#L42

ZPX (custom nonce range) and p2pool is programed into the firmware, it's just not hooked up (missing below):
https://github.com/luke-jr/BitForce_SC/blob/master/BitForce_SC/Main_BitforceSC.c#L424

and here's the callback:
https://github.com/luke-jr/BitForce_SC/blob/e9e6a41fd76050a3aea2ab973c808f4cede174eb/BitForce_SC/HostInteractionProtocols.c#L2320

notice:

Code:

	ASIC_job_issue(p_job,
p_job->nonce_begin,
p_job->nonce_end,
FALSE, 0, FALSE);	

also the comment in Main-BitforceSC.c

Code:

/* BUG FIX LOG
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* July 3rd 2012 - Fixed the P2P JOB problem (range_end - range_begin, which was inverse)
* June 2nd 2012 - Realized the system must run a 16MHz to ensure compatibility with flash SPI
*
*/

it looks like it was in and working but removed...
initial code had lots of p2pool support

EDIT:
And here is the commit p2pool was removed from the firmware
https://github.com/luke-jr/BitForce_SC/commit/73590d015c614c8b40bf8a8fe25de7169c347c53

EDIT2:
ZPX doesn't seem to help too much either since it's independent of queue

looks like i'm going back to finding a way to hardcode in a reduced nonce range to the SCs...

how many percent was updated?  where can we see? can wait for the switch.

I'd also like to know what percentage of the network has upgraded. Based on http://p2pool-nodes.info/, its 96 nodes are still at < v13.0 and 32 at > v13.0, so around 25%.

Hey Kano,

Check this out:
https://github.com/luke-jr/BitForce_SC/blob/e9e6a41fd76050a3aea2ab973c808f4cede174eb/BitForce_SC/HostInteractionProtocols.h#L42

ZPX has always been there, but as I said in my post on the BFL forum:
https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/913-bitforce-sc-communication-protocol-draft-revision-2-a-8.html#post31853
there needs to be a que job version like ZNX with a nonce range but more importantly a que job pack version like ZWX with a nonce range

My comment about ZPX is here:

Hi,
Do you have compatible stratum mining proxy as Windows binary? I need it for litecoin mining, but mining_proxy 1.3.0 from guiminer-scrypt is not compatible with p2pool.
Thank you in advance!

[forrestv]

how many percent was updated?  where can we see? can wait for the switch.

The "desired versions" graph shows this.

It may not be fast but boy I like this stat:

308MH/s (0.0% DOA)

Efficiency    123.3%

[rav3n_pl]

On 1 good share it is normal.

almost 33% on bitcoin and 20% litecoin so far.

I upgraded to p2pool 13.1 and it works great!

Question though, when I run it, version is reported as this:

Version: unknown 666f7272657374762d7032706f6f6c2d38333235366538

Is this the correct version?  I installed the p2pool 13.1 snapshot from Github (downloaded the snapshot tarball itself, did not use Git to pull the source).

Thanks!
Josh

Pool rate and the version 11 rate have been dropping with a fairly constant slope, without returning as version 13 rate.  Curious.

Hey everyone, I'm having an error with my P2Pool node. It says. Warning: A MAJORITY OF SHARES CONTAIN A VOTE FOR AN UNSUPPORTED SHARE IMPLEMENTATION! (v13 with 52% support) An upgrade is likely necessary. Check http://p2pool.forre.st/ for more information.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks in advance.

The pool info is located here.

upgrade your node to 13.1 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg2682976#msg2682976

Ahh, that's cool, that graph makes more sense now Thanks!

The code pulls the version from the directory name that it is in.. ?
https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/blob/master/p2pool/__init__.py  -- _get_version()


Try renaming the directory it's in as p2pool-13.1 and restart it then see what it tells ya.

I'm doing test mining with versions 13.0-13.1 for two days

Code:

2013-07-10 10:47:12.841000  Local: 348kH/s in last 10.0 minutes Local dead on arrival: ~3.8% (2-6%) Expected time to share: 21.4 hours

No shares. Expected time may be 1.6 hours then again 1 day.
Is it normal? Will I get any shares with p2pool?

Again, yes or no?

Try the proxy listed on slush pool

Try the proxy listed on slush pool

It does not work. This proxy is for bicoins only, it has no option -pa scrypt
