If I start p2pool after being offline in the night this happens just about every time: - I start bitdoind
- After bitcoind has downloaded the latest block I start p2pool
- p2pool gets stuck at
2012-01-27 17:25:42.191000 Testing bitcoind P2P connection to '127.0.0.1:8333'... - bitcoind seems to work just fine with 80 connections or so
- I stop p2pool and bitcoind and try again

I just updated to git head to try and use the cool graphs that you added, and now p2pool does not work.
Older version of rrdtool apparently didn't have the --no-overwrite option. It wasn't necessary, so I removed it from the current git version of P2Pool... so git pull and try again? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Thanks! I still get the depreciation warning. $ ./run_p2pool.py /home/user/.virtualenvs/p2pool/src/p2pool/p2pool/bitcoin/data.py:220: DeprecationWarning: object.__new__() takes no parameters return Type.__new__(cls, bits, endianness) 2012-01-27 10:36:23.289400 p2pool (version 3d4b58e)
EDIT: What flavor of linux do you use to develop p2pool? I'm running p2pool in a vm so I have no problem installing something not ubuntu. Mine is only ubuntu because thats the ISO I had

Over 48 hours -- ack!!!! ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) Yeah. It's really a shame that just as p2pool is starting to get its name out there, it enters an unlucky streak like this. Hope it clears up before people give up and go back to centralized mining.

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

Everyone needs to upgrade to either git HEAD or the py2exe snapshot in the first post, http://u.forre.st/u/rtooosfo/p2pool_win32_1685a89.zip . There has been an ongoing problem with the sharechain forking, which I believe I solved in git about a week ago. However, many miners aren't running the newer version, and it appears that they have forked off due to evidence from picchio and the sudden decrease in hashrate.

However, many miners aren't running the newer version, and it appears that they have forked off due to evidence from picchio and the sudden decrease in hashrate. Done. I suspect I already had the changes - I installed from git like two days ago - but I figured it'd be good to pull anyway just in case. Question: when I restart my p2pool instance, my sharecount resets to 0. I'm still going to get paid for my shares from previous instances when the block is found, right?

Looks like the pool may be going through a two-way chain split ATM. There are twice as many shares on the network as there are verified shares. 2012-01-27 21:23:55.012000 Pool: 90535MH/s in 17326 shares (17349/34619 verified) Recent: 0.68% >612MH/s Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Peers: 10 (0 incoming)
I suggest that everyone upgrade their versions ASAP!
