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

[jcumins]

Thanks so much Jonny

I had no idea it was actually tied to the shares.  I per address.  I have since set each miner to there own address so I  can watch the performance per miner.  And I have been playing with the settings and rebooting alot so the shares are zeroing out on each reboot.  Looks like i just need to let it run for a few days and see how it goes.


Thanks so much.

Yes the node is running it is behind a goof firewall that I will have to open up ping and trace routes to.

I forgot all about that.  I am connecting to it from a data center about 1000 miles away so i know it is accessible from the public.  I will open the firewall for a few days to pings and trace routes

It's not tied to the shares you see reported by your miners on their UI... it's tied to the shares you find that are accepted onto the share chain.  Each share must meet at least a certain minimum target difficulty in order to be accepted onto the chain.  As of the writing of this post, that difficulty is 12291862.97.  You stated you've got a 1TH/s miner.  That hash rate, with the current difficulty, translates into an expected time to share of 14.66 hours.  Also keep in mind that once you find a share, it has to be accepted on the chain.  An orphan share is one that you've added to the chain and broadcast to the network, but was rejected because the majority of the nodes already had a longer chain than the one you're broadcasting.  A dead share is one that you found, but your local node rejected it when attempting to add it to the chain because your local copy of the chain was already longer.

As I wrote previously, it's all about variance.  I think a picture is worth a thousand words... so here's one for you:


Here you can clearly see that even though the miner's hash rate has remained consistent, the expected payout line is up and down throughout the past month.

I managed to get to your node... no idea why I couldn't earlier.  So... your getBlockTemplate latency is atrocious.  You're averaging 3.59 seconds.  Also, you stated that you're 1000 miles away.  Is your mining gear 1000 miles from your node?  If yes, find a closer node as you're not going to get a very good ping time.  Finally, looking at the payout graphs for the day, it appears only 1 of the miners on your node has found a share today, and looks like one might have been orphaned (or at least it was found almost immediately before one dropped off the chain).

successfully make p2pool at armhf debian 7.1.
the computer is marsboard a20 that has 2 cortex-A7 cores CPU, 1G ram, 8G Nand, http://www.marsboard.com/new_marsboard_a20_feature.html
OS is Debian_Wheezy_7.1_Lxde armhf. http://www.marsboard.com/new_marsboard_a20_download.html
I think it's suitable for p2pool sever but without bitciond.

Code:

sudo apt-get install curl libncurses5-dev libffi-dev

The reason you were not able to connect i ;Ds because i had the firewall locked down to the subnet of my data center link.  I was able to correct this.  Our data center has us really bandwidth limited so i intend to get this resolved in the morning.  Our latency from my office to there should be alot faster then it is currently. 

I am in the process of building a new Debian box that I have placed in the data center so that should fix this issue..

Thanks so much for your input I greatly appreciate it.

I created a chatbox for all p2pool users.  Just like this forum does, in brining p2pool operators and power p2pool users together, a chatbox on each every p2pool node's home page can do the same for the entire p2pool community.  At least, it is worth a shot.  To see the chatbox you can go to us-east.p2pool.co or europe.p2pool.co and if you would like to add it to your own p2pool site you can do so by just adding this line:

My node ip is as follows:

207.105.189.40:9332

Please lety me know what you think is right and what i can do better

thanks

Your getblock template latency is over 3.73s (3730ms). My average is 0.224s (224ms) just now. The problem is in Your bitcoind or bitcoin-qt or You run something merged?

[jcumins]

I am not mergmining at all.  But yes i could have something set wrong.  Thats for sue this is my first setup.  Where is the setting for merged or not will have to look for that.

What does your ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf file look like?  (Please BLANK OUT your rpc user and password).  If blockmaxsize is large that can add to your getwork latency significantly.

[jcumins]

The block max size is set really high what do you recommend 

I have seen on line 250000 to 1000000 size

Thats probably it.

Use caution when messing with your settings according to the various guides, many of them are outdated & refer to the good old days of GPU mining, which is completely different from asics. They are guides, not bibles. Personally, I stopped tweaking my bitcoind & p2pool settings a long time ago & leave everything default - it just works. If you are new to p2pool, it is always best to familiarise yourself with how it works with default settings first, tweaking settings without knowing what you're doing can lead to terrible performance & thus earnings.

If you want to tweak your settings, do it little by little, the results of your changes might not become immediately apparent. Above all, be patient

How can I query bitcoind to see what it's current setting for blockmaxsize is? Anyone know the current default?

Is there an api call for getwork_latency in my p2pool node, or some other way of getting that information through a shell?

That's a nice list but, I don't see anything about blockmaxsize or getwork_latency, do you know which call I should look at?
