Need p2pool for BitBar. Any p2pool gods??

[rbdrbd]

Ok guys, modified pool code (what I have so far) is at https://github.com/rbdrbd/p2pool

If someone can get that working...go at it. Here's where I am at. Ubuntu Linux 13.04. bitbard installed. My bitbar.conf looks like:

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=RPCPASS
rpcport=8778

I then launch p2pool with:

Code:

python run_p2pool.py  --debug --net bitbar --max-conns 300 -f 0 --give-author 0 --bitcoind-p2p-port 8777 --bitcoind-rpc-po 8778 rpcuser RPCPASS

I see the following:

Code:

root@minerp2pool:/opt/p2pool# python run_p2pool.py  --debug --net bitbar --max-conns 300 -f 0 --give-author 0 --bitcoind-p2p-port 8777 --bitcoind-rpc-po 8778 rpcuser RPCPASS

Meanwhile p2pool is not listening on any ports. Balthazar / blasbob / etc: Any ideas?

I'm thinking something is still off in the code...

netstat -anp starts like:

Code:

root@minerp2pool:/opt/p2pool# netstat -anp
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:8777            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2464/bitbard    
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8778          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2464/bitbard   

So I think the ports are good. I disabled tcp6 just in case...no change.

Weird message in the bitbard's debug.log around the time of connect is:

Code:

PROCESSMESSAGE MESSAGESTART NOT FOUND

Passion_ltc ran a p2pool, he would know. I'm no expert, but shouldn't it be paying out to the miners rather than the p2pool address?

Yeah, that's what's worrying me too.  

Why don't you try making it pay out to the miners connected to the pool via how many shares they have submitted divided by the number of total shares for that block. It wouldn't hurt, considering no payouts have been sent yet. Payouts should have started by now.

edit: pulling miners for now until payouts get sorted out.

Yeah that's what it should do of course.  I have not seen any payments at the p2pool address though in the BitBar client, they only show in  the p2pool public stats.  The p2pool address is also the largest one of two that gets listed at the bottom of the stats page (payouts if a block were found now).

I think it's probably best not to add to much hashrate to this until we now that payouts are indeed getting done correctly.

[j980]

Did you use any tutorials besides https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.0   ?

No, I didn't use much tutorial at all.  But I have quite some IT experience and I just tried setting up a feathercoin pool the day before.

Might be off track but did you configure your default pool address?   Looking at the payout chart and table and it doesn't seem to be right.

Course I don't know how it should look but taking a stab

I have been experimenting with my own BitBar p2pool.  If anyone wants to help me test it, please use

Address = bitbar1.no-ip.biz:8336
User = Your BitBar Address
Pass = x (or anything)
Fee = 1%

Stats at http://bitbar1.no-ip.biz:8336/static

The addresses of two of my cpuminer workers show up correctly.  My other cpuminer worker and cgminer worker don't show up yet.  If you want to try this out, please don't throw all your Thash/s at this at once and please check that you get paid when you want to use it for a longer time.

I'm still trying to get it to work in combination with other p2p pools.  So, any other p2pools ready yet?

Do you have the updated bitbar p2pool code on github, or setup instructions for others to set up their own p2pools?

[xwebnetwork]

Throwing 3000KHs at it. All rejected so far.

Edit: Now starting to get some accepted.

I will look into that.  Default pool address was requested from RPC bitbar server automatically (and listed in my BitBar client).  Setting one manually was not possible with this p2pool (although it was with the feathercoin pool I tried before).

I have been experimenting with my own BitBar p2pool.  If anyone wants to help me test it, please use

Address = bitbar1.no-ip.biz:8336

I have used the updated code you posted in one of the first posts of this thread.  I did adapt some of the ports to make it all work... or well, look like it works while trying with just two cpuminers.

I'm happy to commit the changes to your github code base, at least once I'm sure enough this works.  I only changed a few things in networks.py though.

Sure, or you could just create your own fork, since I may have changed more than you did (which is why it may not be working for me). The p2pool command you use to launch, as well as your bitbar.conf may be helpful as well. Thanks for getting this up!!

[j980]

Ok.  I will fork it and post my changes, as well as my bitbar.conf there.  Give me an hour or so.

281 accepted shares, don't seem to be getting any transactions. I think it's 512 blocks before mature though.

Going to take it off for now and see if payouts go through.

[j980]

@rbdrbd

After looking at the differences and the changes I made, I think you should change

P2P_PORT = 7777
to
P2P_PORT = 8777

In networks.py

Not sure if p2pool is subject to the 512 block thing.

Oh, so, after 512 p2pool blocks, the actual BitBar payment goes through?

That would make a lot of sense!  

Payouts stat list is still wrong.

[jimhsu]

I don't know, though P2Pool usually does have a lag time before blocks go through. Not sure if it had anything to do with the 512 blocks.

[j980]

Well, I'm not sure either.

Code with my modifications is now up at:

http://www.github.com/j980/p2pool

[j980]

Bitbar.conf is now in the repository too

@Worker BBrG...FUCA: Please restart your miner, it is producing nonsense.

[jimhsu]

BTW i think your blocks are not making it onto the network.
