[ANN][YAC][POOL]p2pool for yacoin!!

This looks like the problem:

2013-05-12 16:12:50.675091 Peer connection lost: (u'106.187.99.43', 12561) [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionAborted'>:

At least another block found, but not paid out yet.  
-edit- just paid out!  
More profitable than the pushpool btw so far.

yep! good job ntkrnl

To those running p2pool successfully on this yacoin p2pool could you put up your p2pool command line and the miners command line? I'm having issues connecting to the p2pool software running on my computer.

[eule]

You don't have to run p2pool on your PC to mine on this pool. 

[forsetifox]

Ehh.. I suspected that. That would explain why I can't get my p2pool software to connect to their "node". LOL

[eule]

Recieved manual payouts just now. 
Not to spam your thread, just to confirm that people don't waste their hashrate when joining this pool.

[procrypto]

Just trying this out on a server. Seems cool so far, will put it up for testing soon. Thanks!

[DonChate]

seems to be running fine but no connections

[erk]

seems to be running fine but no connections

Same I am not getting any peers with this p2pool port

I suspect the BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS='linode.bitcn.org'.split(' '),
in networks.py is not responding.

Anyone got another node to use as a BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS ?

Or just give me an IP of their test node an will see if the two talk to each other.

[erk]

Should be able to seed the network with:

Code:

  -n ADDR[:PORT], --p2pool-node ADDR[:PORT]
                        connect to existing p2pool node at ADDR listening on
                        port PORT (defaults to default p2pool P2P port) in
                        addition to builtin addresses

-n 198.84.186.74:12561

Yep that seemed to work.

We have a little p2pool going at least

Any other nodes out there?

[procrypto]

UPDATE:
mmh, there is still something wrong with the payment system
In other words, ppcoin novacoin yacoin basiclly don't support paid-by-worker mode( -u username as address). You can only run p2pool minerd yacoind on your own machine and pay to yourselft.

So if I've been running this P2Pool on my server overnight, connected miners in the usual P2Pool way (address as username, any password), and found a couple of blocks, where would the payouts have gone to?

Also, for a complete noob like me, how do I go about changing my setup for now, so that all work goes towards the single wallet address on my server?

Thanks for your help.. will definitely be giving you a solid tip once the teething problems are fixed.

If you didn't specify your payout address as the username, then the p2pool default wallet gets the reward and you miss out.

[procrypto]

If you didn't specify your payout address as the username, then the p2pool default wallet gets the reward and you miss out.

Where would payouts go if the server admin hasn't specified a default address on starting p2pool? Does p2pool ask for an address from yacoind?

In fact, if you choose the address-as-name mode, you got nothing, the block was not successfully submitted with an error "Sign failed" in /.yacoin/debug.log  
Here is some technical details:

1.Compared with bitcoin litecoin, there is a quite different feature in ppcoin novacoin yacoin . If a block is found, the p2pool will call a  jsonprc method called "submitblock", here is the "submitblock" funtion in yacoin
's source:

Code:

// ppcoin: sign block
bool CBlock::SignBlock(const CKeyStore& keystore)
{
    vector<valtype> vSolutions;
    txnouttype whichType;

    if(!IsProofOfStake())
    {
        for(unsigned int i = 0; i < vtx[0].vout.size(); i++)
        {
            const CTxOut& txout = vtx[0].vout[i];

            if (!Solver(txout.scriptPubKey, whichType, vSolutions))
                continue;

            if (whichType == TX_PUBKEY)
            {
                // Sign
                valtype& vchPubKey = vSolutions[0];
                CKey key;

                if (!keystore.GetKey(Hash160(vchPubKey), key))
                    continue;
                if (key.GetPubKey() != vchPubKey)
                    continue;
                if(!key.Sign(GetHash(), vchBlockSig))
                    continue;

                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        const CTxOut& txout = vtx[1].vout[1];

        if (!Solver(txout.scriptPubKey, whichType, vSolutions))
            return false;

        if (whichType == TX_PUBKEY)
        {
            // Sign
            valtype& vchPubKey = vSolutions[0];
            CKey key;

            if (!keystore.GetKey(Hash160(vchPubKey), key))
                return false;
            if (key.GetPubKey() != vchPubKey)
                return false;

            return key.Sign(GetHash(), vchBlockSig);
        }
    }

[color=red]    printf("Sign failed\n");[/color]
    return false;
}

The variable "keystore" is the keys(pubkey pubkey_hash privatekey etc.) of your wallet. That means if you submit a block, you should sign it up with the pubkeys from your wallet,  but  username-as-address mode just only sends p2pool your pubkey_hash.  you can easily get a pubkey_hash with an address, but never get pubkey, just like you want to get the text password from md5.

I've already found a tricky way to fix this problem, just wait for the next version

Ok cool, will wait for that with baited breath.

Why in heavens name did they do that? What was wrong with the old method?

[Boing7898]

the same:

Code:

I'm getting these errors too.

Should be able to seed the network with:

Code:

  -n ADDR[:PORT], --p2pool-node ADDR[:PORT]
                        connect to existing p2pool node at ADDR listening on
                        port PORT (defaults to default p2pool P2P port) in
                        addition to builtin addresses

-n 198.84.186.74:12561

Yep that seemed to work.

We have a little p2pool going at least

Any other nodes out there?

try me also

Code:

-n rav3n.dtdns.net:9355

I hope that messing other scrypt pools will be fixed soon.

The pools are connecting but the share submission is failing.



The pools for YAC are pretty sad, yac.dontmine.me keeps being unreachable, I assume it's overloaded. p2pool is the best option, we need it pretty quickly or many people will simply abandon YAC.
