i get an error: cannot open, no such file or directory, error not recoverable

[bitpop]

do it again
wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/bitcoin/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.0/test/bitcoin-0.6.0rc2-linux.tar.gz

What is this?

[tomtheminer]

can anyone help me?

[tomtheminer]

nevermind

[bitpop]

Try using the .5 branch

[ThiagoCMC]

The current P2Pool works much better with Bitcoin 0.6.0 rc2.

[bitpop]

Not if 0.6 doesn't work in his setup

[ThiagoCMC]

Mmm... Okay...

Anyway, if he follow this guide, it should work. There is no reason to not work.

If you guys want to upgrade from Bitcoin 0.5.2 to 0.6.0, there is the need to clean / reset the entire ~/.bitcoin directory.

To upgrade just do:

1- Stop P2Pool;
2- Stop Bitcoin 0.5.2;
3- Move old directory away with: "mv ~/.bitcoin ~/_bitcoin_OLD";
4- Make a clean Bitcoin dir with: "mkdir ~/.bitcoin";
5- Copy the bitcoin.conf from backup: "cp ~/_bitcoin_OLD ~/.bitcoin/";
6- Start bitcoin-0.6.0rc2...

 Wait the download of the blockchain, start P2Pool again...

Cheers!
Thiago

Is this type of merged mining like at slush pool? I dont think so, I think its akin to solo mining nmc and you get a whole block, no shares

[vampire]

The chain is about 2.4gb.. Uh is there a way to make it smaller? I would need to get a larger drive for my miner.

[2weiX]

just stumbled over this thread...


so if I can setup a VM with Ubuntu on it within my win7 system (on which I have 4 GPUs to mine) I can run P2P on that VM and point my miners there, amirite?

Maybe try p2pmining.com.  He runs a p2pool node built for small miners.

I restated the bitcoind, it freed up a gig of space.

Yeah, that should work.

Absolutely, but dont use NAt networking, use bridged and give its own ip straight to the router. No bridged either. Though i got bitcoin, cgminer and p2pool running perfect on windows server 2008r2.

I followed every instruction to mine litecoin with p2pool without sucess.

I run the server in a VM with bridged adapter. The router 192.168.1.1 is forwarding port 9338 to the VM 192.168.1.10

Code:

root@p2Pool:~/bitcoind/litecoin/src# ./litecoind -rpcuser=a -rpcpassword=1
root@p2Pool:~/bitcoind/litecoin/src# litecoin server starting

root@p2Pool:~/bitcoind/p2pool# python run_p2pool.py --net litecoin a 1

Here are my port forwarding rules:

Code:

# this is the configuration file for rinetd, the internet redirection server
#
# you may specify global allow and deny rules here
# only ip addresses are matched, hostnames cannot be specified here
# the wildcards you may use are * and ?
#
allow *
# deny 192.168.2.1?


#
# forwarding rules come here
#
# you may specify allow and deny rules after a specific forwarding rule
# to apply to only that forwarding rule
#
# bindadress    bindport  connectaddress  connectport
192.168.1.10 9327 127.0.0.1 9327
192.168.1.10 9338 127.0.0.1 9338
# logging information
logfile /var/log/rinetd.log

# uncomment the following line if you want web-server style logfile format
# logcommon

This is my litecoin.conf

Code:

rpcport=10332
port=10333
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=a
rpcpassword=1

Anyone know what is the problem?
