Hm.. Is it possible for you to use the "-a" argument to p2pool to set the address instead of the miner username? The miner username is only really useful if you have a public p2pool node that others mine on.

It would be cool if miners had their own personal graphs and JSON. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Like: http://poolnode.com:9332/graphs/{minerID/btcAddress}.html

Agree with NothinG. I am going to open my pool to some of my friends, so I need to test if miner's own bitcoin address is working. That's why I use bitcoin address as miner's name. Now it seems working, but they can't easily find their own statistics. Hm.. Is it possible for you to use the "-a" argument to p2pool to set the address instead of the miner username?

Else, it looks like they are mining as one person. If no BTC Address is set for the miner username, the bitcoins generated will go to your bitcoind locally or if -a is set.

The "VIP password" doesn't do anything except affect the deprecated RRD graphs.

Wow. I didn't even know that. The "VIP password" is a mystery to me. I finally got it after searching the whole thread. I think a separate report for each client is very helpful, like NothinG's suggestion. The "VIP password" doesn't do anything except affect the deprecated RRD graphs.

I received another donation for p2pool miners. I'll distribute it sometime in the next day or two.

Greetings from ...XVD (27GH/s) + my 5 BTC donation to growth p2pool. BTW is all ok with my getwork? Something improve? I use now 38 VTX 7970, plan increase to 64 within 2 weeks. Panda Mouse.

Awesome Panda Mouse. With 27GH/s you may wish to consider a higher difficulty target. It lowers difficulty for smaller miners. You can alter difficulty by using a miner username in this format. username/[difficulty target]+[local diff] difficulty target is how "hard" of a share you look for (compensation is based on value of shares not just nominal number) local diff is optional but it is the diff your miners see. I set it to "1" which allows tracking stats in cgminer across miners and time. currently the p2pool min difficulty is ~750. For a small miner that may mean no share for hours. With 27GH/s @ 750 difficulty you will find 1 share every 2 minutes. Increasing difficulty to say 1500 would still mean you find 1 share (worth twice as much) every 4 minutes and it helps to keep min diff lower for smaller miners. I have ~15 GH/s and use a higher diff of 1500 BTW. Glad to see another large miners using p2pool.

I have rigs with 4 cards, every rig have different username. There is: cgminer.exe -u xxx -p ... -o http://10.0.0.101:9332 --auto-fan --gpu-engine 450-1750 --gpu-memdiff -150 --gpu-powertune 0 --temp-target 75 -g 2 -q -I 8 -k poclbm -v 1 -w 256 --submit-stale Will be: cgminer.exe -u xxx/1500+1 -p..... where xxx - mobo (rig) name. Your advice is very valuable. I'll follow you at once.

Yes. It isn't required. It is simply a way to transfer more variance (but same avg payout) to you and help smaller miners. Think of it as a non-financial donation. While it will take you "longer" (say 4 minutes vs 2 minutes) to find shares that is easily handled by someone with a lot of hashing power. Once you modify the your miner usernames to user/1500+1 you will see something like this in p2pool window. New work for worker! Difficulty: 1.00000 Share difficulty: 1500.0000344 Total block value 50.00045000 BTC
If you want to change the difficulty in the future (higher or lower) you just need to change the miner's username. If you want to go back to dyanmic minimum difficulty (currently ~750) just remove the /1500

Yeah code looks good. Thanks for supporting p2pool I am sure smaller miners appreciate the reduced min difficulty (and variance) that will cause.

The average miner on p2pool (and thus the average share variance) is ~1.5GH/s You "could" do it as a 1 GH/s miner but you already have above average variance so I wouldn't. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) So a miner w/ 3GH/s @ 1,500 would have the same variance as the avg miner does @ target 750 (current min share diff). A miner w/ 15 GH/s @ 7,500 would have the same variance as a 1.5GH/s miner @ target 750 (current min share diff). While I don't suggest someone raise it that high the more hash power you have the more you can raise diff and still have better than avg variance.
