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

[ThiagoCMC]

I knew 1% was okay, but if other miners submit stales I need Phoenix to do this as well (or switch miners) otherwise I lose out on 1% efficiency.

Is there some link I can trace to see if it is incorporated in the main build (of the main developers accept your commit)? (I am using Windows and usually building things yourself on none-Linux systems is a real pain,so I usually end up waiting for the windows binary like a regular user ).

The link I gave will tell you what they do with it.

I know this is a lot to ask but can you fix the litecoin problem by, I don't know, the 10th. (Shamelessly suggesting the date that ThiagoCMC plans to donate 200LTC a day to the pool)

I can't even mine anymore because that error doesn't go away like before.

You are unable to mine for Litecoins through P2Pool?!
What is the error?!

[ThiagoCMC]

Mmm... Have no idea... Are you using the latest P2Pool version?!

Why don't you install a Ubuntu Linux in a Virtual Machine, the VirtualBox can be your friend now!

So, you point your miners to the P2Pool running at your VM...

Best,
Thiago

Grr so much work...

I have a ubuntu 11.10 iso somewhere in my external, i'll just strip it of its desktop environment.

And have fun!

I'm dumb, very latest build works fine. Seeing as I last downloaded it 4 days ago I figured I was still on the latest build, fuck me. Thanks anyhow Thiago!

[Rassah]

This is a bit OT, but, isn't it much much much cheaper to pay to buy Litecoins directly than pay for electricity to get them now?

*7* blocks in one day. That definitely covers the unlucky streak

[ThiagoCMC]

Guys,

 What this means:

Code:

2012-02-09 01:19:32.086496 GOT BLOCK FROM MINER! Passing to bitcoind! bitcoin: b12309dd48cc86f50788d7670d9745c7f25e53ddd61de7e76bb
2012-02-09 01:19:32.099157 GOT BLOCK FROM PEER! Passing to bitcoind! db1775d3 bitcoin: b12309dd48cc86f50788d7670d9745c7f25e53ddd61de7e76bb

 ?

 Means that that block was mined by me?!  O_O

Cheers!

Guys,

 I would like to start a new P2Pool instance at the same subnetwork but, only one P2Pool will have the 9332/9327 ports forwarded to it.

 Is there some P2Pool option like "addnode" of Bitcoin?

 So I can "addnode=my-master-p2pool-ip" as an argument to my second P2Pool instance...

 Or, is it okay to run P2Pool without forwarded ports?!

Thanks!
Thiago

Is there some P2Pool option like "addnode" of Bitcoin?

Yes, -n
From the wiki:

Code:

  -n ADDR[:PORT], --p2pool-node ADDR[:PORT]
                        connect to existing p2pool node at ADDR listening on
                        port PORT (defaults to default p2pool P2P port) in
                        addition to builtin addresses

Or, is it okay to run P2Pool without forwarded ports?!

Yes again. You'll get 10 outgoing connections, which is plenty.

Six here

It depends on your time-zone.

I think we should define what is a "mining day" more precisely, like: from 00:00 to 23:59 GMT or something like that.

Btw, my six shares are enough to cover just a couple of days of bad luck.

Regards.

Looks like you found a block. Thank you very much!

It wouldn't really matter would it? Either someone sees that we find 8 blocks one day and 0 the next, or someone sees that we find 4 blocks one day and 4 blocks the next. Either way it's 8 blocks in a 48 hours period.

I'm sure this has been answered before ... but ...
Is there somewhere where you can see the pool (share-chain) if you are not running p2pool at the moment?
i.e. blocks + shares + share difficulty, also current block being worked on and unpaid share list?
I guess forrest's client is the best one to consider if I'm not running p2pool if that info is available?
( Where this comes from: http://forre.st:9332/graphs/ )

This one seems to not work any more:
http://yat.uukgoblin.net/p2pool-stats/current_payouts.html

(or is this information lost for eternity? Thus no way to verify anything?)

[Gabi]

Got block from peer means p2pool found a block?

mh since i just received a payment maybe yes... but it say it already has 2 confirms...

[Gabi]

now 204

before it was saying like 210

wait now 207

[spiccioli]

Could someone report the current pool hash rate that their P2Pool software is showing?

Holliday,

it bounces around 200 - 210 GHs.

BTW,

Code:

2012-02-09 07:02:39.638083 GOT BLOCK FROM PEER! Passing to bitcoind! b8370800 bitcoin: 39ccdd2529b5af67320a57a8c5a68116e14f1fe1dddc9f459b6
2012-02-09 12:34:11.499075 GOT BLOCK FROM PEER! Passing to bitcoind! 929038fc bitcoin: 27aafb3b399eb60be707ceb402259cd4b018c91b4ff41ac5a9
2012-02-09 13:02:31.446763 GOT BLOCK FROM PEER! Passing to bitcoind! 7172afee bitcoin: a445a69dd4c3a3d036804df25331cb015f3170b775320d205f4

I've received payment for the 13:02 GMT+1 block but not for the one at 12:34, how is it possible?

[spiccioli]

Shares are swinging a lot as well

Code:

2012-02-09 13:22:09.138339  P2Pool: 18384 shares in chain (17438 verified/18439 total) Peers: 43 (33 incoming)
2012-02-09 13:22:16.634768  P2Pool: 17308 shares in chain (17314 verified/17314 total) Peers: 43 (33 incoming)
2012-02-09 13:22:19.669540  P2Pool: 17309 shares in chain (17315 verified/17315 total) Peers: 43 (33 incoming)

is this "correct"? I've never looked at share numbers a lot, to be honest.
