Hello people,
it's some days I'm trying P2Pool (from Git) with CGMiner 3.1.0 and from yesterday 3.1.1.
I have some major problems with Bitcoind GetBlockTemplate Latency and I believe I have bad results for that... At beginning all was fine with latencies in the order of 0.2 - 0.3, but suddensly latency rised to 5 seconds!!! I tryied to close and reopen P2Pool and bitcoin-qt but latency remained high. Only today latency went "down" to approx 0.8 sec, that is however very high from what I've read (to have good results must be in the order of 0.1 sec).
Please note that P2Pool and bitcoin-qt runs on a SSD, the PC is a fast i5, the internet connection is an ADSL that works at about 4Mbit/s x 0.5Mbit/s with no other traffic.
What's wrong? What can I do to investigate the problem source? Huh
Moreover I never got P2Pool to run for more than 2 days, then python crashes...  Sad
Please help!

Here are some of my P2Pool charts (with the modified web interface):

Hello,

I have the same problem, this is the first time I mine on a P2Pool, shares are extremely slow to send (even if I know it's slower than a classic pool, here it's extreeeemely slow, 10 shares per hour), and my chart looks like yours... But i didn't solve it yet, I don't understand what's the problem. I have a i7 3930k and a hd7970 (I mine with).
I tried to mine with cgminer CLI and guiminer scrypt, guiminer seems to work faster but the problem is still here.

I hope someone will help us, because I don't see what's wrong !

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's bad because I like P2Pool, like the idea of distributed mining because it's not attackable with DDOS like other pools and there is not chance that pool operator can be disonest!
But if it works in this way it's unusable... In the meanwhile I returned to bitminter.com

With my 7970 I generate something like 5-6 shares a day. But at beginning it was ok, it was profitable, now it isn't anymore. Do you have latencies so high too?

There is mention of this in the p2pool thread, due to large amound of dust tranactions that are being sent. Try running the latest bitcoind from the bitcoin master git. There are some more tips in the thread.

Thank you tiktoc! It seems the problem I have too. However I don't understand the thing they are saying about the satoshi fee parameter to change and why...
I'm actually running bitcoin-qt, do you know if updating it from git will have the dust fix included?

Havent built the qt version from git, but the test version in binaries are available from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201124.0

Make sure you check out the p2pool thread in the pools forum, they mentioned something about block size as well.

I've tryied bitcoin-qt 8.2 RC1 as you suggested. Thing seems improved but remains pretty bad...
Here is my updated situation. I'm returning again to bitminter...  With P2Pool I've wasted much GPU power... Angry

Latency is better but 1 seconds seems too much to me... And is growing...
http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a499/energywave78/BitcoindGetBlockTemplateLatency_zpsead43311.png

Here is my summary
http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a499/energywave78/Summary_zps52340b97.png

Moreover with bitcoin-qt 8.2 RC1 I see a message everywhere that's scarying me a little:
Warning: (from bitcoind) Questa versione è una compilazione pre-rilascio - usala a tuo rischio - non utilizzarla per la generazione o per applicazioni di commercio
In english it means "This version is a pre-release - use it at your own risk - don't use it for generation or for commerce applications"
Should I worry?

Advices?

Try 11.3 version of p2pool and swap back to 0.8.1 if you want, some people have had better results with 11.3 check the p2pool thread.


edit: see this link for settings for 8.2.rc https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg2190013#msg2190013

Thank you tiktoc for advices, in fact I already seen that advices by Prattler and was about to try them. I'll also try with p2pool ver. 11.3
I think it will be better to swap back to 8.1 because bitcoin-qt crashed for not enough memory (I have 8 GB...) and python crashed. It's very unstable...
Now I'll try with prattler parameters, 8.1, p2pool 11.3 and will post results here Smiley
