Azure Vertcoin Pool - DDOS reisistant P2Pool Node

http://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171/

To connect to this P2Pool node simply point your miner at:

URL: stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171
Username: Your vertcoin address
Password: Anything

Sample configuration

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171 -u VbNPoxNeiNg6Bj9RwjjS4GazDbKLgUqNDP -p X

Fast facts

1. P2Pool nodes are all part of one single, big, distributed pool
2. When any p2pool worker on any node finds a block, everyone on all the nodes gets paid their share
3. There is no pool wallet, and hence no payout threshold. Payments go directly to your wallet
4. The distributed nature of p2pool resists DDoS attacks

Decentralize the hashrate!

Developing an emotional connection with everyday people (now) is essential. It need not be anything I suggested, but it should be something.

It feels like it is a long process. I'm new to the game myself (bought the GPU, then thought I could keep it busy in the cold winter months) but I'm a (conventional) ASIC designer so I understand some of the tech.

In trying to explain crypto to a more typical person, the fundamental points of confusion seem to be:

• What is currency fundamentally? How does this fit in with intrinsic asset value
• Why does it make sense to use crypto (from an EU citizen resident in the UK!)
• How is the mining related to generating an asset, what _is_ the asset that is being traded

This even after having explained that I can demonstrate the process of converting electricity into beer (except my BTC are now traded for VTC), and it is cheaper for the pub to accept BTC than GBP.

It feels like the third point is the most difficult and also most important one to address at some level. If I understand it right, we are in effect certifying the public ledger of transactions, and taking a fee for doing this - so simplistically paying in crypto is the same as writing a cheque. The miners verify that the checks won't bounce, and ultimately the currency is bootstrapped by people exchanging fiat for crypto.

Should we be worrying if explaining this is a BTC or VTC task?

I have finally managed to start P2P node on my own, however, I can't run intensity higher than 13 now and HW are killing me. So with I13 my hasrate went down from 450kh/s per card to 320 per card..don't know what the point of running own node is then 
is it RAM hungry process?

point of running your own node is security and decentralization of hashrate. You don't depend on minimal payouts or possible operator scam

Where did you withdraw from?  If you withdraw INTO your wallet, restart your wallet.

I've had several occasions where the wallet just decides to stop updating.  I close it and re-open and it re-syncs and I have a bunch of deposits.

I want to use rebuild my BAMT Linux miner to a windows Vertminer.
I have a licencse for Windows Vista 64 Bit over. Can i use it.
How much RAM do i need. My linux machine has only 2 GB.
Thats a bit to low for using Vista. Do i have to buy a special RAM for using Vertminer

Would it be risky to use 6x 280x on a P9X79 Pro board?

Am I the only one who loves the fact this coin is so difficult to mine efficiently?  Seems like it's going to keep the prices stable while others drown during crashes.

P2Pool Update

We intend to update the network information for p2pool in our official repo, its just a change in networks.py. The update with that should show up sometime before the seed nodes upgrade, or you can just get it from the pull request, but the network wont be live until the listed date. This involves a change to how long a share is valid, currently a share is only valid for 3 blocks. This setting was borrowed from Litecoin, and it has proven to be too low for us. It will be adjusted to 12 with this update, that should hopefully improve the p2pool experience for people with low hashrates. As every worker's share will now be valid for a longer period.

This update requires a hard fork of the network, which means we will have two p2pool networks running in parallell for some time while everyone interested updates to the newer version. Don't panic, it won't be like hardforking a wallet, no paid coins will go invalid. It just means that to benefit from this update you need to upgrade to the new settings. It might also mean that blocks will come a little slower for a while if not everyone comes along with the update (as we will split into two). The point of this pre-announcement is to mitigate that. Also moving to this new network means that the we'll get a new sharechain, a.k.a. any shares from the old network won't transfer over.

The p2pool scanner and all the seed nodes will be upgraded to this version on 13th february at 22.00 GMT. Any node left on the old network will continue operating as normal, but will not show up in the scanner until upgraded.

Hopefully people will catch on fast and update.

Note: The best way fora miner with a low hashrate to mine on p2pool is still to run your own node with only you on it, because work difficulty is based on the entire node's hashrate (this might be changed to a per worker difficulty in a future update, but that change requires more testing first). You should be paid the same in both instances over time, but variance will be higher if on a public node. Remember that p2pool is distributed pool, all work on every node is equally valid (as long as it's not orphaned or dead-on-arrival).

To check how cryptsy is handling deposits i send each day a few VTC.
Last deposit now more than 18 hours and still not received.

Also Withdraw BTC no longer possible since more than 1 hour.
Always internal error.

i'm wondering about something.
I'm mining on p2pool, current node http://p2pool.etyd.org/
However, i'm also seeing that there are a lot of blocks found in the last hours, when i check my miner i see shares being accepted.
But, i havent recieved any transactions for 8 hours already but in that timespan about 14 blocks have been found already.

Either i'm missing something or i'm not getting payed all the time.
Anyone who can explain?

You only get paid if you have shares in the sharechain. Click on Graphs and find your address, you can see a history graph of how much value you had in the share chain plotted over time. If you run less than a couple MH you might try mining on my east node for now, I'm running a test patch to p2pool to lower variance for smaller miners. (Your shares are worth less value but you find them more often, so payments are more steady. You don't make any more/less income though.) Pool link in my sig. (West node is not running test patch.)

US is a bit far from the EU, so better not do that
But this is what i'm seeing in my miner:


setup your own node, and payout issues will go away.  im assuming you have quite a bit of horsepower if your payouts are this large.  i was getting sporadic payments with 600kh/s.  setup my own node, and never had an issue again


This is the payout scheme for me btw:

Do you have a good how-to?
I have 2 VPS's at my disposal, 1 windows, 1 linux

1. get a linux wallet
2. setup this p2pool - https://github.com/donSchoe/p2pool-vtc

if you are not familiar with compiling stuff in linux, try to run p2p in windows.  The link in 2 describes how.

I know my linux quite a bit, ill try it today.

Stop trading there. There are like a million posts on here complaining about cryptsy and you keep trading there. Coinedup is fixed up, it's kind of lame but I have done large volume, no lost transactions and a couple hours slowest confirm. Much improved this week and anyway you should be hogking vtc so serves you right. Kidding I don't know that really but move or zip it, it's your own fault from here on out.

the really bad thing is that cryptsy still set the price of VTC. All others follow cryptsy :-(

Do You think If I add some RAM I will be able to keep my settings(khas) and mine on own nod?

The number of new coins generated per day is still the same. Thats why I suggested a gradual reward decrease (like 1% every week) than the once every 4 years.

Also, try to get it on mcx (ref link in my sig) - there is big money there.

Yeah, I sent a note to mcxnow admin to add it.

Everyone else please do the same
