[vote] P2Pool Public Node CGMiner Config File

[Subo1977]

Hello,

If you use CG Miner to Mine against Public P2Pool you can use this CG Miner-Configfile to easily set up CGminer to use P2Pool .
As last Backup I use the Eligius Pool
Let get startet:

Create an File with the name cgminer.conf in your CGminer Directory,
Open it,
Copy and Paste the Code,
Replace "YOURBITCOINADRESS" with your Bitcoinadress where you would recieve the coins
Save the file
Don't use the Parameter -o -p -u -g in the cgminerstartup
Restart CGminer.

be happy

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "http://p2pool-cologne.dyndns.org:9332",
		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",
		"pass" : "xxx"
	},
	{
		"url" : "http://forre.st:9332",
		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",
		"pass" : "xxx"
	},
	{
		"url" : "http://blockexplorer.funkymonkey.org:9335",
		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",
		"pass" : "xxx"
	},
{
		"url" : "http://66.90.82.155:9332",
		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",
		"pass" : "xxx"
	},
{
		"url" : "http://imperium.getmyip.com:9332",
		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",
		"pass" : "xxx"
	},
{
		"url" : "http://178.195.18.168:9332",
		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",

You can get a decent list of nodes that are up by checking out: http://nodes.p2pmine.com/

{

		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",

}

Since when eligius is a part of p2pool???

Looks like failover in case something paralyzes p2pool for some reason. You could solo mine instead.

This way you will get paid less from p2pool. It is PPLNS so it is best to mine constantly at it.
Just add more nodes as failover and ure done

What about "-g 1" cgminer option? I think it is better when mining against any P2Pool node.
Plus, it is better to lower a bit your GPU Intensity.
Thoughts?!

Update!!

Remove Eligius Pool ,
Ad some more P2Pool Nodes

Add -g 1 Mode for CGminer

This brings me another question...

How to setup "-g 1" AND a lower Intensity, for the P2Pool nodes and "-g 2" for the "regular pools", within the SAME cgminer.conf file?

For example:

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "http://200.204.161.215:9327",
		"user" : "YOURBITCOINADRESS",
		"pass" : "xxx"
	},
	{
		"url" : "http://gpumax.com:8332",
		"user" : "GPUMAXWORKERACCOUNT",
		"pass" : "abc123"
	}
]

...

So, for the pool at slot 0, "-g 1" AND "-I 7", for pool at slot 1, "-g 2" AND "-I 9".

How to do that?

Thanks!

Impossible. You can not configure cgminer that way.

For the config: for p2pool there should be 2 special lines:

Code:

"gpu-threads" : "1",
"queue" : "0",

This way stales/doas will be reduced only to the point of connection lags.

I don't see any technical impediment, maybe it is time to a new cgminer feature request?
