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

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.

Thanks, I've added it to my node's page.

Yes i sure did...

Use caution when messing with your settings according to the various guides, many of them are outdated & refer to the good old days of GPU mining, which is completely different from asics.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?

I have searched, the term "blockmaxsize" or getwork_latency doesn't exist in the bitcoin api calls list.  I want to run bitcoind without the setting configured and query it to verify what it sets it to, my stock config doesn't list any defaults.  I've worked with enough developers to know that the config comment and the documentation does not always reflect reality.  I guess I could look at the source but, it seems like there should be a way to query it.  I know theres a way to query getwork_latency since the default p2pool graphs page does it.  Guess I'll have to do some manual labor to dig that out if I want it.

You can set the blockmaxsize on the command line when you startup your bitcoind.  I'm not sure if there's a way to query it via an API call.  If you want to see a pool's block template latency, you can do it like this:

http://some.p2pool.address:port/web/graph_data/getwork_latency/last_hour

That gives you a nice big JSON formatted object with a whole bunch of fun things:

Perfect, thanks!

I have my node running much better,  Efficiency is now 98% but my get-work latency still really sucks,  but i did read some where that it is fine

My maxblock size is 450000 and max connection are set to 20 and i have both in and out connections with 9 peers attached.

So i am not changing a thing for now.
