Help! Creating P2POOL, Stuck on error timeout took longer than 30 Seconds.

[thecryptodude01]

Hello,

I am working on creating a p2pool, but I am stuck on this error:

Failure: twisted.internet.defer.TimeoutError: Getting http://127.0.0.1:53385/ took longer than 30 seconds

My wallet is running and fully synced up. What is wrong?

Thanks!

Did you create a bitcoin.conf file with the correct content ?

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
server=1

[thecryptodude01]

Here is my conf.

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=1
rpcpassword=x
rpcport=53385
rpcconect=192.168.1.101
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

[mitak64]

And what's your starting command for p2pool ?
Is the wallet Bitcoin or something else ?
Running Win or Linux ?

Try this:

leave these , remove everything else in the bitcoin.conf

server=1
rpcuser=1
rpcpassword=x

I am running Windows. Is is not bitcoin, it is a different coin.

Here is my target for the shortcut:

C:\Users\Joel\Downloads\p2pool_win32_11.4\p2pool_win32_11.4\run_p2pool.exe --net litecoin 1 x --bitcoind-rpc-port 53385

rpcconect=192.168.1.101  -  two n's in connect

Hello,

thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it, but I still get the same issue.

Thanks!

So that's the .conf file for litecoin ?

From the error, it looks like p2pool can't talk to the Bitcoin daemon.
Do you have Bitcoin installed too, if yes what does its' bitcoin.conf file look like ?

That is a .conf for my coin KaChingCoin. I do not have Bitcoin Installed.

Now I saw the setup for alt-coins with p2pool is a bit different than the Bitcoin one.

[thecryptodude01]

OK. I am setting up the Bitcoin Wallet, probally will take forever to sync though.

You can download most of the blockchain as a torrent file, it's called "bootstrap.dat"
read in the very bottom of :
 https://bitcoin.org/en/download

"If you know how to download a torrent file, you can speed up this process by putting bootstrap.dat (a previous copy of the block chain) in the Bitcoin Core data directory before starting the software."

[thecryptodude01]

It says 2 Day 21 Hours to do the torrent. The new 9.0 is already almost half way done.

i have two bitcoin nodes up right now:

5.9.24.81 and 76.72.171.85.  use maxconnections=1 listen=0...  5.9.24.81 is in Germany, 76.72.171.85 in Philadelphia.   so put connect=5.9.24.81 or connect=76.72.171.85, whichever is closest.

unless this was fixed in the latest version, it's always been 100x faster to download blockchain from one peer.  otherwise you end up getting someone with very little upstream bandwidth and probably annoy the hell out of them too.  i know i hate it when i run dogecoin or something and someone starts DLing blockchain from me with my crappy 768kbps upstream

u dont need to download bitcoin client as p2pool refers to all coins with bitcoind

why u using --net litecoin? ur coin is kachingcoin

ur rpcport should be 53384 as 53385 is the port for the coin as stated in the source code

~/kachingpool/run_p2pool.py --net kachingcoin --bitcoind-rpc-port 53384 blah blub
