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

DodgeCoin ? More garbage coins ...

Anyhow : time to update the 117T to 200T  on the topic

On same topic .. is MultiPool using p2pool? There seems to be a lot of hash "coming/going" sporadically - but it also not translating into more blocks.

Oh .. and GREAT WORK on p2pool thanks forrestv!

Indeed, multipool is mining on p2pool. They have 0% fee, and planning to implement merged mining. Soon, this will be GREAT alternative to small miners, to mine on multipool instead of directly on p2pool node.

Multipool is no longer 0% fee:

A: Effective September 1, 2013, this site charges a 1.5% fee on all mined blocks. Through January 1, 2014, all SHA-256 pools are 0% fee.

NASTY POOL has a p2pool with 0% fee. Merged mining supports the pool.  No fancy web site though, just the basic p2pool graphs.

What pool? nasty pool it's a simple p2pool node. I have one too, look: http://lenny.dnsd.me:9332/ Should I call myself pool operator?

multipool.us is doing custom work - it enables small miners to have payouts again.

Also, multipool's BTC pool has 0% fee.
News from website:

Jan 01 7:36 PM PPC, TRC, FRC and ZET pool fees are now back at 1.5%.  BTC will remain at 0%.  NMC merged mining coming soon!

You could, although that carries some commitment to at least keep the node up all the time. If it is just your own personal node you don't need to do that.

Okay that is good news. Always nice to have more options, especially those supporting p2pool.

I have a node running on a 20GB hard drive virtual machine.  I may have to update soon, once they blockchain exceeds that amount.

A (somewhat) antisocial solution would be a fake bitcoind node that generates empty blocks.

only retarded miners would do this as they wouldnt get the nice fee for each tx

The fee represents around 0.5% of the total block value.  It isn't really that important.

You don't need a "fake" bitcoind to make empty blocks. It's a simple setting in bitcoin.conf. Though if you don't have the bandwidth to propagate proper blocks, you'd be better off mining with a pool that can.

It was the disk space for block chain storage.  The "fake" bitcoind would simply build a blank block on the longest chain.

no, you cant create coinbase with 0 payout with just making settings @ bitcoin.conf, you can limit txs. to create blocks worth 0 dtc, you need to change the src.

"Empty" meaning no transactions in the block. Obviously you can't take away the actual block reward without the block getting rejected by the network.

Since december 21 only 1 dead share, zero orphans . Nothing to do with network ! Cpu load 100% all the time because mining XPM.

Think again.

thats wrong, you can create a block with a coinbase worth 0 btc (but that would be stupid as shit...). aslong its not above the default value and not below 0 it will be accepted.

如果不改变规则！
那么 未来20天我们可以看见P2POOL是如何自杀的。

Sorry, Google Translate.

If you do not change the rules!
The next 20 days we can see how P2POOL suicide！

So has p2pool been fixed?  Does it work with ASICs yet?

Or are we still in the "la-la-la-there-isn't-a-problem' running around phase, pointing fault at anyone else?

As far as I know, the only hardware that still has problems is KnC miners, but that might've been fixed. That one was most definitely a manufacturer problem.

knc hardware with firmware 0.99.1 works good on p2pool

ASICMiner Blades and Cubes were the ones I was thinking of specifically.  Because they didn't work for shit last time I tried, even through a proxy.

my experience wit november Jupiters on p2pool is very good - but a bit confusing: p2pool always reports higher hash rates than cgminer

I was not able to get the blades to work very well. I tested it against the latest P2Pool and my blades locally just the other day. The lowest DOA I saw was 25% but it was continuing to increase so I sent them back to a normal pool. If anyone has a solution for this I'd be glad to test it out.

Thanks.

Edit: I should say I have successfully run BFL, USB BLock Erupters, and a Chili on my own P2Pool node.
