Interesting sidenote for cgminer users, having a backup pool (failover or etc) seems to greatly increase shares that are DOA.

I upgraded to cgminer 2.4.0 added 3 more p2pool backup servers, and I'm @4.2% DOA in the last 24hrs. I think its preventing higher DOA % by polling other servers looking for new blocks.I think Running multiple pools,bitcoin with more than 8 connections. I'm also running -g 1 and -Q 0. Another nice feature is if cgminer detects 12 share rejects in a row, it switches pools for a set period of time. I did notice one small bug, it said another pool accepted 1 shares but when i went into pool management it didn't show it had.

Ah that makes sense, I didn't have other p2pool nodes as backup servers, I had bitparking. I was getting ~20% DOA with it.

So suddenly I'm having a huge stale rate at like at-least 70%. Cgminer shows it's trying to longpoll continuously but if I switch to another pool then it works fine. I'm confused.

I recently upgraded to the newest p2pool code. Others are reporting lower DOA rate with the new changes. We shale see.

p2pool longpolls every 10s or so, that part is normal. What settings are you using in cgminer? My DOA rate for the last 24hrs is 3.4%.

"donation" : "0.00", "shares" : "0", "kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin" If you don't have 5800 or 5900 series cards then gpu-engine and gpu-memclock will require different optimal settings. I think setting specific values for gpu-engine and gpu-memclock may decrease stales. I've set gpu-memclock to 250 and there is a small improvement.

Since i have the lowest DOA rate on the top 10 miner on p2pmining.com in the last 24hrs Here are my setting. --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 750-950 --gpu-memclock 300 -g 1 -Q 0 -v 2 -w 128 I also have 4 other p2pools as backup and a bitcoin client with 42 active connections and intensity set to dynamic. Using Cgminer 2.4.0.

Thanks for the tips, I updated my conf file as well as updated cgminer (didn't even know there was an update). I shall watch the results and post them after a bit.

I just pointed my 2.2g/h to this. (four 5870s, one 7970.) Looks great, thanks! Also, just a note to anyone else who might be reading this. I couldn't get the signatures to work for binding my namecoin address to bitcoin. I then saw the latest bitcoin client is 0.6.2, and I was on 0.5.something. I upgraded, and now the GUI client has an option to sign. I used that to sign, and voila, it worked.

Is there some way you could set a static share difficulty or maybe just a higher dynamic difficulty based on your pool's overall hashrate? You could probably get away with 3000 difficulty shares at least.

You could probably get away with 3000 difficulty shares at least. You can set share difficulty to what ever you want. If you want 3000 share difficulty just add +3000 to the end off your bitcoin-address-username. When you submit a 3000 difficulty share, it would be the same as if you submitted 3000 difficulty 1 shares. You will see more variance in your stats with higher difficulty shares, but it all works out the same in the end. I haven't tried experimenting with much higher difficulty to see if I get a smaller DOA rate.

I mean the actual p2pool share difficulty, not the pseudo-shares. You could have your pool set to work on 3000 difficulty shares to help out the overall health of the network. I'm not sure how you would do this though as it's usually set at the miner level with username/3000.

I've about given up on my stale % issue, but I'm curious if anyone knows why it might go up during the day and down during the night? It seems to go up to 15+% during the day and settle back to 8% during the night. I'm on a college campus, so I'm assuming network traffic may be the problem. Anyway, thanks for all the hard work Jaycoin, the site works great.

What miner(s) are you using? Are they the latest versions? I had stales through the roof when I switched to p2pool until I upgraded my miners.
