Ok, it is downloading blocks...

[IYFTech]

Don't run p2pool until bitcoind has finished downloading the blockchain  

Follow the instructions at the beginning of this thread.

Error: Unable to bind to 0.0.0.0:8333 on this computer. Bitcoin is probably already running.
Error: Failed to listen on any port. Use -listen=0 if you want this.


omg :[

Seriously... turn that p2pool node off and finish the Bitcoind blockchain update before you turn it back on... listen to IYFTech.

Basically you're trying to drive a car without any fuel and complaining about why it won't go and making funny sounds.
You've got to get some gas/petrol first.

How to turn off? I downloaded blocks...

[LtPaxIV]

are u sure bitcoind finished downloading the blockchain? u could check that with "getmininginfo" for example and look how many blocks it has

[BartmaX]

are u sure bitcoind finished downloading the blockchain? u could check that with "getmininginfo" for example and look how many blocks it has

command not found. so i have to download blocks again?

[BartmaX]

 Error getting work from bitcoind:

omg

doesn't work

I suggest you do some basic research on how to run a Bitcoin client first, ie: learn how to turn it on/off. Then read up on running a p2pool node & mining in general - it's what we have all done & it's the best way to learn. Trying to help someone who does not know how the stuff works & without any information about OS, system configuration, etc is impossible.

Do a little research please

i asume u installed bitcoind without any fancy stuff,so u should have started it like this

~/bitcoin/src/bitcoind

now just do

~/bitcoin/src/bitcoind getmininginfo

and it should show u the stats like this

{
"blocks" : 294529,
"currentblocksize" : 0,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 6119726089.12814713,
"errors" : "",
"generate" : false,
"genproclimit" : -1,
"hashespersec" : 0,
"pooledtx" : 667,
"testnet" : false
}

as u can see we are at 294529 blocks at the moment

if ur bitcoind shows this it finished downloading

is this downloading blocks or i have to turn on downloading blocks?
what i have to do now?

[LtPaxIV]

we cant help u if u dont tell us how ur setup is e.g

what are u trying to do

where are u trying this (1 computer or 2 what operating system)

also keep in mind downloading the blockchain will take some time(last time i did it was like 24 hours)

[BartmaX]

ok i see it's downloading blocks now is 240726. after that what i have to do?

[LtPaxIV]

well ur at 240258 blocks an u need 294529

means u got roughly 50000 to go

yeah it is downloading blocks u just have to wait a lil

u can check the info again and it should be more blocks then before

[LtPaxIV]

ok i see it's downloading blocks now is 240726. after that what i have to do?

did u make a bitcoin.conf in ./bitcoin

containing rpcuser and rpcpassword?

if so just start the p2pool again with the command u posted earlyer
