Without it it will mine to an address from bitcoind. Usually you want to mine into another wallet

That's so you can specify a peer connection to another node you trust. Typically if you know certain public nodes are always up-to-date and run continuously, you can directly connect to them on top of the random connections. Some people also use them when they're setting up multiple of their own nodes across CDN or Colocation providers to make sure they're nodes are always connected to each other.

This might be completely off topic, but have you P2Pool owners tried MPOS and can tell me the pros and cons of setting up MPOS as a second server as supposed to P2Pool?
Thanks,

With P2pool, you're joining a larger pool, at 185TH currently. If you start an MPOS pool, you'll be starting at 0TH.

Wait, are you saying that MPOS is a solo mining app server?

Just curious, but why do you need to down load p2pool software to join the pool?

You don't have to, you can connect to any public node if you don't want to set up your own node ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place to announce this, but since it's a new p2pool node I thought it might be a good place. I've recently launched a bitcoin mining p2pool node in Panama, Central America, that pays bonus devcoins. http://www.blisterpool.com1% pool fee, using PPLNS (of course) register bitcoin/devcoin address pair on site connect with bitcoin address auto-paid bitcoins and merge mined devcoins to the address pair, along with a 0.2% devcoin bonus It also pays a 0.2% bonus to open source developers on the bitcoin and devcoin share lists.

I love the front-end you did with the exception of the status page which is obviously the extended front-end. You should stick a miner on your node/pool so that it doesn't look bare.

Can those of you use have set maxconnections on bitcoin.conf and added the --max-conns and --out-going give me some idea what you used and what your bandwidth (up and download speed) is?
This would give me some idea of what range I should be in on my own node for my bandwidth.
Thanks

So that you aren't in the high DOA/Reject % that helps boost the payment for all the low DOA/Reject % users from your lost income. p2pool by design ensures that the lower your average reject % the more profit you'll take from other p2pool miners. Since everyone has network latency and hardware latency, it's those who manage to get them the lowest who gain from the rest of the miners. Think of it this way, if your DOA/Orphan % is average (at the moment 14%) then 14% of your work is thrown away. Now if everyone was 14% that's just simply wasted electricity, but if some are 7% or even lower, they are making a better % of each block (based on their hash rate) than you are making. Pity the sods (more than half the pool) that is mining above 14% ...

Thanks, yeah I was using the extended front end until I can get in there and get the data out myself. I only have weaksauce hashing power myself atm, but I'll follow your suggestion.

Does adding nodes with -n get added on top of the max connections out? The wiki made me think that, but I added 4 and Out is still sitting at 6.
Also, if/when a hard fork happens for a new major p2pool version, would a larger SPREAD make sense? That would reduce variance for smaller miners. Larger miners can just kick difficulty up higher with address/ if they don't want (possibly) more frequent payments.

Does anyone know how to actually add alt coins to the P2pool system? I'd like to setup a node for DigiByte coins but I really can't seem to figure out how to add it.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214512.msg4998082#msg4998082Should help. It's be nice of coin developers would release p2pool settings when they release their coins.

Newbie Question......
If I see no local efficiency, my shares in p2pool console after 20 hrs of running at 30G with +5 DOA above the pool rate Is it normal ? and should i keep it on. I stopped at this level thinking the setup had some problem. Is there a way to check that my setup is doing some real work in the pool ?
Thanks in advance

There was an article posted in December of last year, that says in it: "P2pool is technically a mining pool, but one that acts like solo mining in terms of the end user's view. You enter the pool using your wallet's address, rather than signing up to get an account, and the payments are automatically paid out once blocks are found by anyone on the pool. This cuts down on the middle man and also reduces the time it takes to get paid, although it does bring up another issue: you will get a ton of payments out of it. With each new payment you get, you are potentially adding some bytes (around 230) to your transaction size for when you send coins to someone. As this number grows, the cost of sending the coins also grows along with it." Does anyone know what this comment means? "With each new payment you get, you are potentially adding some bytes (around 230) to your transaction size for when you send coins to someone. As this number grows, the cost of sending the coins also grows along with it."Here is the original article: http://www.michaelnielsen.org/ddi/how-the-bitcoin-protocol-actually-works/Thanks,
