Why is your intensity a 6? Try an 8. multiple threads hides the latency in such a tiny batch size (intensity sets how many nonces are check in one "batch").
Also 90C? Wow. Not good for GPU longevity.
thanks a lot that fixed my issue

... Bitcoin 0.6.0 was released today, so there is no longer any reason to wait to upgrade. Please help by telling anyone that you know that hasn't upgraded to do so. Thanks! ...
Is that a Bitcoin requirement or a P2Pool requirement? (and are there any issues with following your recommendation to upgrade to 0.6.0?) It's a requirement for Bitcoin if you're mining and an absolute requirement for P2Pool. I don't think there are any problems with upgrading.

so i followed the guide for windows and got my local machine to mine and run p2pool, but how would i point my other machine running bamt to it? i tried using the username:password i setup in the rpc conf and pointed it to 127.0.0.1:9332, yes the ports open, but it did nothing. thanks in advance
127.0.0.1 is a special address for localhost 127.0.0.1 on your other machine is look back at itself not looking at the machine running p2pool. you just need to replace 127.0.0.1 with the local IP address of the machine running p2pool. likely it is 192.168.x.x I tried pointing it to host machine internal ip also, 192.168.#.# but ........ chalk one up for another reason not to mess with settings after pool league and 3 or 4 pitchers of beer, i was pointing it back to the bamt machine and not the one hosting, i thought i was doing it right but the beer got to me hehe, all is good now i have it working since i put the right ip in lol. thanks for the help fellas now, if i want to be a public node, i just use a redirection service like no-ip, and forward 9332 to port 80 right? on windows by the way if that matters.

Since 0.6.0 came out I tried to get p2pool working, but failed. Once I followed all the noob friendly steps cgminer wouldn't work, I have a feeling I need an sdk, but the further down this installation rabbit hole I go the more problems I find.
Would someone be able to tell me the number of programs required to run p2pool with full functionality? I installed 5 (bitcoin, p2pool, cgminer, python, twist) and I have a feeling I need a few sdks as well, would an estimate of 10 installs be necessary to get p2pool to work? Does it depend on my hardware? Do I need to be proficient in bitcoind as well? (I ask because I run bitcoind and all I get is a black screen, I can't type anything) Thanks for the help and work you guys do.

No need to forward 9332 to 80 but it's better for those with proxy.

If this is for a dedicated miner, it might be easier to just grab p2pcoin. To troubleshoot your setup, work in three steps. First, get bitcoind running. Then p2pool. Then the miner. You need to configure bitcoind to become a background daemon, otherwise it will hold the terminal open and never write anything to it, the black screen that you describe. Once you have the black screen, check the debug.log file. If that file is growing, bitcoind is actually running, which would just mean that you need to configure it.

If this is not a dedicated miner, you don't have to use bitcoind anymore. You can use Bitcoin-qt (still have to configure it to listen for RPC requests, of course). The bug that was making bitcoin-qt unstable with p2pool has been fixed.

Whoops, just updated to the newest p2pool version.
Interestingly, when restarting p2pool (the version before), I got an exception, p2pool continued, and showed -1 orphan. I still have the output if you would like to see it.

Fizzgig: On Windows, all you need for p2pool is the py2exe binary I distribute. Have you ever had CGminer working before?

Bitcoind is still a little lighter on resources though, right?

Bitcoind is still a little lighter on resources though, right? Not significantly. In any case, the reason people would probably prefer using bitcoin-qt on a non-dedicated p2pool machine (i.e. the machine is their main machine that they use for other purposes) is that it has a user interface for interacting with your wallet (instead of using the command line which isn't as comfortable for some people).

Ha! Found a funny error message. 2012-03-31 21:52:02.374120 Peer 127.0.0.1:9333 misbehaving, will drop and ban. Reason: was connected to self 2012-03-31 21:52:02.374464 Peer 127.0.0.1:47778 misbehaving, will drop and ban. Reason: was connected to self
But why would it connect to itself in the first place?

Probably because it isn't recognizing the external IP address as being itself, so when it finds the IP from other peers, and tries it, realizing it is talking to itself, then it closes the connection. Torrent clients have this happen too. Often, the computer is only aware of its internal/LAN IP, so that's how this happens. No big deal. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) -- Smoov

Nah, cuz the client sees the connection coming from 127.0.0.1, not an outside source.

The switch-over happened about an hour ago, and we lost about 10% of our hash rate, for the time being. In the future, the P2Pool software will display a large warning when another change like this is going to happen in the future. In addition, if you don't know about it, there's this mailing list that I post important announcements to: http://groups.google.com/group/p2pool-notificationsYay, now we have P2SH! Is there any interest in P2Pool allowing P2SH payouts?
