Does anyone know where I can get the P2Pool source for Digitalcoin? I'd like to run my own P2Pool locally (For myself to mine on, not as a public pool).
If it's not available, could one of the owners that are running a P2Pool share their source?
I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Hello,

You'd have to use the regular P2Pool source and compile the digitalcoind daemon.

p2pool git: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool

networks.py add:

digital=math.Object(
        PARENT=networks.nets['digital'],
        SHARE_PERIOD=15, # seconds target spacing
        CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=200, # shares coinbase maturity
        SPREAD=30, # blocks
        IDENTIFIER='be43F6b8c6927210'.decode('hex'),
        PREFIX='b587193ba6d4749a'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=5477,
        MIN_TARGET=0,
        MAX_TARGET=2**256//2**20 - 1,
        PERSIST=False,
        WORKER_PORT=9500,
        BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS=''.split(' '),
        ANNOUNCE_CHANNEL='#p2pool-alt',
        VERSION_CHECK=lambda v: True,
    )

bitcoin/networks.py add:

digital=math.Object(
        P2P_PREFIX='fbc0b6db'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=7999,
        ADDRESS_VERSION=30,
        RPC_PORT=7998,
        RPC_CHECK=defer.inlineCallbacks(lambda bitcoind: defer.returnValue(
            'digitalcoinaddress' in (yield bitcoind.rpc_help()) and
            not (yield bitcoind.rpc_getinfo())['testnet']
        )),
        SUBSIDY_FUNC=lambda height: 1*10000000 >> (height + 1)//1080000,
        POW_FUNC=lambda data: pack.IntType(256).unpack(__import__('ltc_scrypt').getPoWHash(data)),
        BLOCK_PERIOD=30, # s targetspacing
        SYMBOL='DGC',
        CONF_FILE_FUNC=lambda: os.path.join(os.path.join(os.environ['APPDATA'], 'franko') if platform.system() == 'Windows' else os.path.expanduser('~/Library/Application Support/Doubloons/') if platform.system() == 'Darwin' else os.path.expanduser('~/.digitalcoin'), 'digitalcoin.conf'),
        BLOCK_EXPLORER_URL_PREFIX='http://dgc.p2pool.nl/block/',
        ADDRESS_EXPLORER_URL_PREFIX='http://dgc.p2pool.nl/address/',
        SANE_TARGET_RANGE=(2**256//100000000 - 1, 2**256//1000 - 1),
        DUMB_SCRYPT_DIFF=2**16,
    )

Thank you very much, I'll configure it now =) Will let you know if I manage to get it running correctly.

My p2pool has been up continuously and averaging about 100 mh/s.  Always happy to take new miners we're running at less than half CPU utilization so plenty of room to grow.

http://54.227.253.120:9500/static/

I've just directed a miner your way - cheers!

Going from your instructions +0.00116414 is fine for one of my rigs 2 x 7970, though how do I calculate for my other - is there a formula?

Here is a general guideline for where to set that difficulty:

Hash Rate (KH/s)         Difficulty
                 1                  +0.00000116
                 5                  +0.00000582
                10                 +0.00001164
                50                 +0.00005821
                100               +0.00011641
                250               +0.00029103
                500               +0.00058207
                750               +0.00087310
                1000              +0.00116414
                1600              +0.001862624

Would you calculate the setting for all GPU's running on the pay-address or per each individual GPU?

When I try doing this, I end up with a lot of accepts and about 20%+ rejects, but on the graph site.  Now, with only one 7950 running there are no accepts at all, it shows all rejects, but on my screen, I have over 80% accepts.

I have tried several different combinations of numbers, and from 1-3 miners.

Note that rejects on local shares that you submit to a p2pool are not usually a big deal - everyone gets about 20% rejects (give or take) on average but the reward is split proportionally so it won't hurt you much in the payout.

If you're getting 30%+ rejects that is likely a miner configuration issue

OK.  Take a look at the graph for my miner, it shows all rejects.  None of the accepts are showing and there are no more payments since I made the change.
DK57tvcHSwXDqqP9NnxwBKTKFu9rudzftR I cant link straight to my miner, but that gets you to the page.  LOL, you already know this.

yeah... you have a very good p2pool, but you are growing too fast - though you are near to the 51% - so far as i can see

you cannot stop the growth of your pool, because noone has to register?

i have changed the pool (~16 mhash), to do what i can do for the safety of the coin...

[Hibero]

Is it possible for someone to make a pool that we can set a percentage that can be sent to baritus for bounties and such? I know at some pools you can set a donation percentage to be kept by the pool so it would just be somehow changing that so it would be sent to baritus.

[baritus]

Please try to keep each pool to a maximum of 100 mh/s for now.

There is another reliable P2pool up: http://pool.bounceme.net:24397 <- P2pool 0% fee

More pools are in the first post.

Regarding dgc.scryptmining.com shutdown

I sent a message to the pool operator kindly asking if he could pay out my remaining shares after he shut down the operation.
Within the hour he paid the full amount of remaining shares, no hassle.
This guy is clearly not scamming anyone.

dgc.scryptmining.com pool is not a scam

[nearmiss]

outstanding shares as listed on the sidebar should now be paid into your balance at dgc.scryptmining.com.  Sorry again for all the inconvience.  Still digging into what happened.  Website will remain up.

How is http://www.digitalcoinpool.com/ running for you, it looks like it also pays to little like other pools on this software. My payout in the end was 0.4 when i had like 7-10% of pool power.

I will let you know in a day or two.  Payout is always little in the beginning.  You think every pools pay little because you don't stick around long enough.

Was mining 24h straight on digi.cryptcoins , should be enough, my friend did the same and also got about half of what he should, now i'm looking for something reliable because that wasn't.  Mining there right now but getting a lot of rejects, about 20%. Hope you're right

I am glad to hear that.

Also, if any pool can add optional donations to the DGC development foundation, I will specify it in the first post. You will be helping advance the status of the coin.

do we need to keep the wallet open when mining p2pools?

Nope.

I have not had any problems with http://digi.cryptcoins.net/

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=209508.msg2221580#msg2221580  <- That's a 0% pool running very well.

To far away for me.

I connect great to fenicans server, but for some reason my miner freaks out on his server.

I had good connection to scryptmining server, but missed shares sucked.

I have my miners at next.afraid.org at the moment, but high pings cause lots of rejects.

Any other US servers?  I am in Texas.

[aikklond]

The coin is very good, it is going slow and steady. Just make more donations, I think this will draw people in. Try to make the install a wallet.

[akabane]

For all of those who want a working p2pool configuration I have made a fork here : https://github.com/hakabane/p2pool-altcoins.git

This is the one I am using at http://pool.bounceme.net:24397

By using this one you will be able to connect your node to mine (thought the bootstrap address).
I also defined new network id for digitalcoin p2pool network.
Please tell me if you want me to add your node to the bootstrap list.

I think it will be good if all the digitalcoin p2pool nodes use the same codebase.

Just use it with -net digital.
