Why do you need a proxy?

Why do you need a proxy?

I have several getwork CPU miners behind stratum proxy.

[fsb4000]

Try the proxy listed on slush pool

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

proxy for scrypt: http://ltcmine.ru/mining_proxy.exe
https://github.com/CryptoManiac/stratum-mining-proxy

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%.

p2pool-nodes.info only shows a portion of the public nodes.  A bit over a week ago it was only showing 30-40 nodes but I was able to tweak my pool to attempt to explore and it found ~260 public nodes.  p2pool-nodes.info hadn't found my public node for about 5-6 weeks.  It finally updated last week sometime.

Treat p2pool-nodes.info as a sample, not an exhaustive list.

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
2013-07-10 10:47:12.841000  Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Stale rate: ??? Efficiency: ??? Current payout: 0.0000 LTC
2013-07-10 10:47:12.872000  Pool: 741MH/s Stale rate: 20.0% Expected time to block: 1.4 hours
2013-07-10 10:47:18.778000
2013-07-10 10:47:18.809000 New work for worker! Difficulty: 0.000109 Share difficulty: 6.293200 Total block value: 50.001000 LTC including 10 transact
ions

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

It is normal. Expected time to share is 1 day, but expected time to block is 1.4 hours. P2Pool is increasing your share difficulty to prevent you from receiving dust payouts. You will get shares if you keep mining.

Yes, yes! It is just dec 2012 version 1.3.0 which works with ltcmine but does not work with p2pool

Is it normal? Will I get any shares with p2pool?

As you see: Expected time to share: 21.4 hours
Variance make this number 5x bigger or smaller, depend on your luck. Wait a bit longer

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%.

p2pool-nodes.info only shows a portion of the public nodes.  A bit over a week ago it was only showing 30-40 nodes but I was able to tweak my pool to attempt to explore and it found ~260 public nodes.  p2pool-nodes.info hadn't found my public node for about 5-6 weeks.  It finally updated last week sometime.

Treat p2pool-nodes.info as a sample, not an exhaustive list.

i switched my node host to another machine and it just took some time to rebuild the list of p2pool nodes. i plan on adding the ability to manually adding a node and possibly custom hostnames instead of just the ip. but it may be a few weeks before i have time to incorporate it. however, i was able to add the bitcoind latency and hash rate of the node to the list.

I don't think number of nodes is the metric for cross-over, I think it's percentage of hashrate.

Right now it is:
13: 36% 360 GH/s

for LTC it's respectable, equivalent to ~500MH/s on BTC's network.

The Litecoin Project is proud to release the source of p2pool-scanner, an node.js app that scans the entire p2pool network and generates a page listing known public pools.  The main benefit in releasing this source is to allow BTC p2pool to use it.

https://github.com/litecoin-project/p2pool-scanner
Source

http://p2pool.litecointools.com/
The p2pool LTC network is listed here.  Yes, the current ordering is not ideal.  Ordering by uptime isn't the greatest idea.  It should be smarter in excluding old, known buggy versions of p2pool and when the daemon is warning.  Please send pull requests to the above github project with general improvements to the code.

Someone else should run the official BTC p2pool-scanner.  Keep it stable and contribute improvements to the source project, and we can ask forrestv to link to your p2pool scanner from the OP.

i have been maintaining one for btc at http://p2pool-nodes.info/
i noticed you hard coded the port number, but there are nodes that don't use the default port.
i have filtered out p2pool versions that aren't on 11.x or 13.x right now and those that are disconnected from bitcoind.

Did you base it on p2pool-scanner or wrote your own?
