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

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

mattbigblue, I don't think it's that memory hungry. My p2pool's stats page says it uses 178MB right now, I'll double check as soon as I'm near the machine.

Also I can easily switch pools from cgminer, from classic pools to other p2pools to my own p2pool without changing anything. Hashrate is constant.

So from my pov your p2pool shouldn't be the cause of your hashing problems... Have you tried switching pools from inside cgminer?

Hi .
I like VTC idea preparing my 10  -- 280 x cards for VTC mining (p2p pool)
In my opinion crypotocurrency have very nice future We all need digital money in digital era and   crypotocurrencies one of the best designs .I don't believe Pos as it has real problems Pow is really good and workable.For ASIC we have BTC and no other currency can be competitor  here. But We can have 1 winner in GPU based coin and one CPU based coin . VTC really seems what can Be GPU winner .

Difficulty just jumped from 122 to 132? Interesting...

No I haven't. I will try that when I get back home. I've also read somewhere that when I try to run own p2p node for the first time I should run it for 2-3min, shutdown and try again cause HW seems to be common issue.

HW errors are usually caused by difficulty 0 (that a new empty p2pool node starts at), you can basically ignore them, it's a bug in cgminer. They should disappear once diff goes above 0 (if they don't, then you might have a problem).

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).

This is excellent news! Could you please announce it again when its changed!

Any update on Zerocoin/Zerocash being 'implemented/added' to Vertcoin? (if that's the correct saying).  Do we have an ETA for this?  Is it definitely going to happen?

[mv1986]

guys what exactly is the connection between the number of people mining a coin and the security in that network?

I am afraid this fundraiser could fail due to the community being too greedy, reffering to the slogan: "mine and hold!"

We probably wont see it before May.

wouldnt take that long. Anyways, boris said its a dev priority, cant really get more specific than that at this stage.


I just did another small donation.

[PeterPalmBeach]

I sent my Verts from coinmarket to cryptsy over 20 hours ago and nothing. What a bad move that was..

[rahrahrah]

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.

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 holding 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.

I don't know why people don't use coinmarket.io. It's so much faster than Coinedup and Cryptsy.

@Boris

I get "Unable to activate your account. Invalid token." when I try to activate my account at your pool. Can you resent me a token?

No way!  We've raised 32%, already, we can do it!

Love the concept and all but I can't tell from the page where the money is going and through whose hands so no dice. Fix that and I will reconsider.

Side note, someone build a microloan market for vert in your spare time would you? Altcurrency would be so good for that. I know, big projrct but if anyone is looking for one of those, recruit some ambassadors from the coin community who live in impoversihed places and set up a way to put them on an honor system and get some money flowing.

http://vertcoinmarket.com/faq/ - it's held by the project. I know the guy personally. He's cool and is 100% invested into VTC. Of course, my word likely means nothing to people here but trust has to start somewhere. If you have suggestions for vertcoinmarket, please do say so! There is a reddit thread here: http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/1xgaoa/vertcoinmarketcom_crowdfunding_for_vtc_related/

Actually after another moment, I see your point. The funds will be released to "bitjedi" - a grey face who we know nothing about. Talking with the developer behind the website now.
