Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Reserved for updates and FAQ


1. Will S3 support p2pool?

The simple answer is we will. Bitmain has a very sincere interesting with p2pool, and we have invest human resource into this area. Sadly our firmware may not be able to give you a firm yes that we support p2pool right now, but we promise we will contribute much more to the p2pool mining idea than most of those who support p2pool mining well already.

For the short term, our core developer has already been looking into the p2pool problem. We think we might be able to solve it in another week or two.

OK!!!!   Now we're getting somewhere guys!!!!!

I think you are just throwing bad money after good if you send him any more donations.

The bounty will only be paid if the new Ants are playing well with p2pool by July 25th, otherwise it will be returned to donators...

I think you missed the main point of my post...  The evidence suggests that forrestv is simply not able to fix the problems.  If I understand your bounty correctly, it can only be collected by forrestv or his 'representative'.  This restriction pretty much assures failure.  There may be someone out there who can fix the problem, and who would be motivated to do so by your bounty - but I feel confident that that person is not forrestv.  These problems are not new, and I'm pretty sure if he could fix them, he would have already done so.

I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I am not holding my breath...


I agree 100% with the main point of your post, however the problems this bounty attempts to address are not the big challenges p2pool faces.

The goal of the bounty is for S2 & S3 compatibility with p2pool, not the larger problems of variance/share diff for smaller miners.

The news from Bitmain sounds promising, hope they can address it.

The bounty is now up to BTC1.01.

This bounty expires July 25th and will be paid to Forrest if he (or his designee) comes up with a fix or returned to donators...

Bounty Address: 1Ft1DZ4EcpH1jFttDoPwsFbe11a6diyZ1H

https://blockchain.info/address/1Ft1DZ4EcpH1jFttDoPwsFbe11a6diyZ1H

If you would like to see a working solution for the new Ants from Forrest please contribute and show that we are willing to pay for work completed.

Once this bounty is complete (July 25th), I would be happy to set up another better structured bounty to address the bigger problems of variance/share diff. The challenge as there is currently no known solution will be to structure it properly and establish criteria for receiving the reward.

Exactly - this is vital, S2's also.  I don't know how much info PatMan sent Bitmain, but I sent a shit load of stuff to him. The reply from Bitmain was very encouraging, but it's important that we keep the pressure on them & other hardware manufacturers to consider p2pool when designing their hardware. I tip my hat to PatMan for putting all the info together for Bitmain - it seems to have made an impression..... Smiley

Idiot.

Wait a second, is this your way of telling everyone that you're some of the people who've been blaming the wrong developers for Bitmain devices not working? I don't actually recognise any of you, except Patman, who I thought always understood that the problem was on the hardware/firmware side. Will the real bigmouth please stand up!

What's ironic is that users don't understand that it's an interface problem and that there are 2 parts in an interface. As p2pool's interface fully respect the Bitcoin and pool protocols if your hardware doesn't work at all, you might have a bigger problem that not being able to use p2pool : if pool operators need to change their software and implement some of the protocol options p2pool already use, the hardware will suddenly stop producing income until they find about the problem, find an alternative pool or upgrade their firmware.

If this is a latency problem instead of a protocol support problem, trying to solve it on p2pool's end is OK in the short term (and the only person working on this right now is forrestv). But if you have a measurable latency problems with an average 30 second window of valid block template, you probably lose a few % of income on any pool too (even if it's less than on p2pool which will have more DOA). So ultimately solving the latency problem on the hardware/firmware is the only way of ensuring the best income on all pools (p2pool or not). Seeing users blaming large amounts of DOA on p2pool while ignoring that they are actively losing income on any pool by not pressuring the vendors to solve this is baffling.

When you compare the quality of ASIC hardware, which is often reported as being delivered in a beat-up state, with forked miner software and dodgy firmware and how stable p2pool is, the double-standard about quality is obvious. Miners are now used to crappy hardware and the fact that hardware manufacturers don't give a **** about their product once they have sold them (some even don't deliver...). This thread is a sad illustration of this situation.

BTW : maybe some Bitfury hardware doesn't work with p2pool, but clearly the chips themselves don't have high latencies or any inherent p2pool incompatibility, CryptX bitfury boards are working nicely with p2pool for ~9 months now
