Difficulty
If you wish to manually control your pseudo-share difficulty outside of the range provided by the dynamic system you can do the following:

Code:

Vertcoin Address+0.00000116 x Hash Rate in KHash

For example for my R9 270x I use:

Code:

200 x 0.00000116 = 0.000232
VoeuxrG38U7YC8XHzCqa36gQf54SDJ7i3Y+0.000232

The following are suggested targets for various hash rates if you want to grab one quickly:

KHash/s	Difficulty
50	+0.00005821
100	+0.00011641
250	+0.00029103
500	+0.00058207
750	+0.00087310
1000	+0.00116414

Please note

• P2Pool payments can take up to 24 hours to ramp up after you start mining, please wait this long before seeking assistance
• Payouts require that you solve at least one share of difficulty greater than the P2Pool share target per day.
• Decreasing intensity can help your stale rates massively, and will improve your payouts in most cases.
• You will notice an increased stale rate in your miner compared to a traditional pool, this is normal and expected behaviour for P2Pool (~5-10%)

Someone removed the DNS for p2pool.vertcoin.org ... please update your miners, to point to http://turing.darkco.in:9171/

Does this work with the cpuminer-vert on Linux minerd?

I tried with many pools - only the GPU was actually generating hashes, even though they all say "accepted" I didn't seem to get any credit from the cpu miners.

A single CPU miner has too low hashrate. Use all your CPUs and GPUs with the same worker address and the pool will sum it up. This works quite well, I'm doing it. cpuminer-vert works.

cpuminer-vert is showing 150Kh/s for me. That's about half of what my GPU does. So why is my worker not showing in the results?

Here is my address: ViPWZYswmgnN3pRWU85wfi9jnpA4N9HQLo

I can run 100 machines, but since it costs me money, I want to know that they actually work. Would it be better for me to setup my own pool?

I cant find your address here: http://turing.darkco.in:9171/current_payouts - this is global for the p2pool network.
Something must be wrong on your end, what's your command line?

[vertoe]

I'm getting shares supposedly "accepted":

Code:

[2014-02-05 21:05:04] accepted: 1/1 (100.00%), 150.16 khash/s (yay!!!)
[2014-02-05 21:05:18] Stratum detected new block

So, CPU is not low hash rate at all.

Command line:

Code:

./minerd -o stratum+tcp://turing.darkco.in:9171 -u ViPWZYswmgnN3pRWU85wfi9jnpA4N9HQLo -p x

Thank you for helping. If we get this to work I'll have 100 machines, which means 1% of that is 150khash to your pool.

Just checked the logs, I see your shares:

Code:

2014-02-05 22:27:57.048984 P2Pool: 17324 shares in chain (17328 verified/17328 total) Peers: 28 (22 incoming)

Can you try to set a static diff, +0.000174615 for 150 kH/s?

Code:

./minerd -o stratum+tcp://turing.darkco.in:9171 -u ViPWZYswmgnN3pRWU85wfi9jnpA4N9HQLo+0.000174615 -p x

And wait for 15 minutes if anything shows up. How many workers are currently running?

[vertoe]

Ok, seems to get a lot more accepted now. Can you check if this is now going to get payouts eventually?

So, if I run this on 100 machines with same wallet, would I have to change the difficulty, or is this per worker basically?

The diff setting is per worker, yes.

Ok. I'll let it run and I'll check with you tonight to see if it's paying out.

You will need to submit one share higher than p2pool target diff, currently 0.061893 (4.06k). With 150kH/s it might take some hours.

I'll suggest you keep it running and we will check back later or you try to run more workers to increase the chance of getting shares with higher diff faster.

I'll be afk for some hours now. I hope I could help!

Hello,

I'm newbie so sorry for this post. Now I'm running on 2 old PC (990x and q6600) for about 20min. I can't see anything posting my wallet adress in worker trucker.

Maybe I have to low power?

My adress: VpuatFMSnZKVybVK4TGAr59NdtpVyZEs3j

greetings

[okashira]

What's goin' on here.

All was well. I was recieving payments as often as every 10-20 minutes. Then bam, stopped recieiving all payments at 12:51pm today. Still shares being accepted.
Restarted client verified settings. 3 gpus with 1.07 Mhash/s

[okashira]

OK, so seconds after I posted, I jsut recieved TWO payments, 6 minutes apart (~0.19 each)

So I go from receiving payments every 8-45 minutes, no payments for over 4 hours, then two sudden payments

is that normal

[zaw]

How long a share is good for?

I had one share and payout went to 0.00 after 3 block and about 1.5hr from share was found.

Whats your hashrate? Maybe it is too low. P2Pool calculates your hashrate reverse from your submitted shares. If its low it might be very inaccurate.

VTC network is insane fast now, same applies to the quite huge p2pool net. If your hashrate is too low to submit not enough shares above target, you wont get payouts for each block. The share target is currently 0.058963 (3.86k).

Then I suspect your hashrate being too low. As I said above. You might wish to consider mining on a traditional centralized pool.

Ugh... It's been hours - the CPU miner address is not even showing up at ALL in the list. Not even talking about pay out.

The GPU miner has been paid some small amounts now, but I noticed it showed in the list RIGHT AWAY, even though it took awhile to get an actual payout.

What gives? I just wasted money on 10 EC2 instances, and the pool hasn't even acknowledged the address exist. Can you help investigate please?

Sorry to hear mate, there is not much more I can do now. I see your shares in the backend but your payout address does not show up in the stats. Either try running your own private node and do some indepth debugging or go to a traditional pool, Sorry!

How long a share is good for?

I had one share and payout went to 0.00 after 3 block and about 1.5hr from share was found.

Usually for 12 hours or 120 blocks, but the vertcoin network is very fast right now. So the 3 blocks might have been within this window. If this happens to you more often your hashrate might be too low for the p2pool network.

Have a problem,
my address doesnt appear on stats page: http://q30.qhor.net:9171/static/

€dit: Ok my misstake, i have to use that modified miner.

[projectShift]

vertoe, can you share vertminer conf for R9 270x?
Can't get mine to a decent rate 

Thanks!

[nether]

Anyone got decent example of vertcoin.conf for p2pool? Do I need rpcport specified or is it enough to have 4 lines in there like bitcoin p2pool guide with some nodes?

[djcrypto]

I'd like to use p2pool but I kept getting lots of rejects at the one with the least latency- is that normal?

[DarkAGeS]

What does this meen? Block numbers 42xxxx I had no payouts for 11 hours and when started blocks 32xxx - payouts started again. So I guess that some error was on pool and miners runs idle for about 11 hours or what?..

The 42xxxx block numbers are a bug in frontend. It can be ignored. The missing payouts are because your hashrate is too low or you did not submit a share above target within the last 3 solved blocks. (Probably both.)

Tune down intensity by 1-2 points and set a fixed diff (see OP ---> difficulty).

You dont need to specify anything in your vertcoin.conf to run p2pool on your machine.

I'm not mining at all and my results are aweful sorry

[reedcrif]

[...] Maybe it is too low. [...]

Hi vertoe, what do you mean with "too low" ... ?

Less than 1Mh/s ? Less than 10MH/s ?

Because I heard people with low hash rate can't maintain the share in the share chain and for that, missed some payment ... But what is the minimum has rate to NOT miss any block ... ?

Thank you

The last number i've read was 1.7 MH/s.
