Anyone know if the XBTech Pacific 1250's work OK with p2pool?

Thanks.

I've set up a private pool solution for a reasonably large miner using a combination of p2pool and ckpool technology. You should all see a decent increase in the overall pool size over the next 24-48 hours.

Very cool!

Any plans to release the p2pool+ckpool combined solution?

It's all there as the free software that exists already (I've been working on ckproxy changes all week aimed at p2pool). I'm providing the server and setting it up for them and running it as a customised solution in an optimised fashion for their particular hardware combination and geographical location.

How does ckpool and p2pool work together?  Ckpool is essentially a centralized service offering solo mining, correct?  How does that interact with the p2pool network?  Thanks.

You're thinking of solo.ckpool.org . ckpool is the software, it is not a pool, but there are numerous ckpool based pools.  It can also run as ckproxy which when it sits in front of p2pool it can take the load off the p2pool software allowing far more high speed clients to connect to the one p2pool node without adversely affecting its latency or efficiency. Yes that does make it yet another layer you need running which makes it even more awkward and I wasn't recommending that for anyone else, but it happens to be quite a good solution for very large miners as it ends up acting like a mini private pool for them while still being part of the distributed p2pool and avoid joining a regular pool. As the author of the ckpool software, I'm offering various mining solutions. You'll note that I'm personally not running a regular pool of my own, only the solo pool which is filling a different niche.

Managed to run proxy with -p but With -P it fails and have no clue what this means.. This is from a gentoo box so there should be those build essentials without any change - might be wrong though..

If you read the docs, -P MUST have a full ckpool instance upstream or it will not work, so you can only use -p with another pool, like p2pool.

Ok thanks, works great with -p

Anyone know if the XBTech Pacific 1250's work OK with p2pool?

Thanks.

Anyone?

Also the Technobit HEX4M's?

Looks like the S4's are having problems mining on a centralised pool - let alone p2pool. I've asked on the S4 thread if someone would try them with p2pool, but I think they're too busy drowning in fail......I can't believe Bitmain didn't test the firmware properly before shipping them

S3 is basically a faster S1, and S1s worked fine (well, okay) with p2pool.
Stands to reason a S4 is basically a faster S2.  And we know how well S2s work with p2pool.

Well, according to Bitmain - they work with p2pool:

Replied questions:

1. S4 is compatible with p2pool?
Yes

But the proof is in the pudding. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone tried?

S2s "work" as well.  Just not very well.

[jonnybravo0311]

Well, if you believe the BitmainWarranty account, and can stomach the screenshot where they "tested" for only a minute, then the S4 works with p2pool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=796839.msg9075999#msg9075999.

By the way, Bitmain released a new firmware for the S4 in which they updated cgminer to 4.6.1: https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=00720140930114518599JXGHWWD80660.

EDIT: I do not own an S4, so I can't confirm Bitmain's statements.

Hello, Why not support script Dogekoin?

because your a moron...

seriously, just take a p2pool with moronKoin in it...

Hello, Why not support script Dogekoin?

Dogecoin is supported and there are many p2pools listed at http://p2pools.org/doge

Truten, I do not believe this thread is the right place to discuss altcoin p2pools as it is focused on Bitcoin.

Having said that I believe Rav removed dogecoin from his repository since he believes running a dedicated dogecoin pool is no longer a good idea due to doge now supporting auxPOW.

Added to that it appears that a number of nodes never updated their dogecoind so the dogecoin p2pool is finding blocks in both chains.

For the most part I would say that the dogecoin p2pool is dead.

It does, there's just problem with change to difficulties recently.  Move them back and you should be fine.
