Hi Jtoomin
I think it's good to be active but you could also have done things in a way that did not increase the variance of those who stayed in main P2pool
More dialogue and humility maybe

It looks like the Bitfury B8 does not support large stratum.notify messages. P2pool needs large stratum.notify messages in order to be able to transmit the large coinbase transactions. Large coinbases are fundamental to the security design of p2pool, so there's nothing that we can do about it on the pool end. You would need to take up this issue with Bitfury's software engineers.

Hello. It's a problem to connect to jtoomim/p2pool with asic "bitfury B8". may be you have a solution?

Worth noting: I had my bitcoin.conf configured to make blocks as large as possible:

blockmaxweight=4000000

And the block was, indeed, quite close to the limit:

Size   1052.071 kB
Weight   3997.486 kWU

This was made possible and safe by the recent additions I made to my code that will factor in the estimated size of the coinbase transaction, and kick transactions out of the block template if necessary. My code is designed to stop 2000 WU before the absolute limit in order to allow for small differences between the estimated and actual block sizes, which is why this was a 3997486 WU block instead of a 3999486 WU block.

If anyone is curious, here is the log output from my node around the time this block was mined:

It seems that my new code slightly overestimated the size and especially the weight of the coinbase transaction (gentx) that eventually made its way into the block (estimate: 1396 bytes, 5620 WU; actual: 1387 bytes, 5440 WU), but overestimates are safe, and the difference is much lower than the 500 byte, 2000 WU error margin that I allowed for in the code.

Consequently, I think it is now safe to set blockmaxweight=4000000 on jtoomimnet.

Note: the block weight checking code is completely absent on mainnet, and mainnet's coinbase transaction is larger than jtoomimnet's, so if you're using github.com/p2pool/p2pool, you MUST use blockmaxweight=3950000 or lower. (If mainnet gets more users, then it will need to be lowered.) Otherwise, blocks mined on mainnet will frequently be invalid for violating the block size/weight limits and your revenue will be nil.

They are separate p2p networks. If you mine on jtoomimnet, you will not get a reward when mainnet mines a block, and vice versa.

p2pool/p2pool is sorta the official one, but it's not actively maintained. forrestv, the originator of the project, is no longer actively maintaining it. I am actively maintaining my fork of p2pool, at least for the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash networks, but have not yet merged my code into p2pool/p2pool and do not currently have any control over that repository.

jtoomimnet has much more hashrate than mainnet does (mostly because I'm on jtoomimnet -- we alone have about 5.5 PH/s). Consequently, jtoomimnet should find blocks far more often. We're currently looking at about 15 days per block average for jtoomimnet (jtoomim/p2pool) and 83 days per block average on mainnet (p2pool/p2pool).

jtoomimnet also has lower RAM usage, better fairness (efficiency will be closer to 100%), and I think slightly lower CPU usage than mainnet, and makes larger blocks with more fee revenue.

Mainnet has a larger number of unique miners, but a smaller hashrate per miner and smaller total hashrate. In theory, because I control more than 51% of the hashrate on jtoomimnet, I could perform a 51% attack on jtoomimnet and get 100% of the rewards. However, I have enough hashrate to do that on mainnet too. At least on jtoomimnet, nobody else can perform a 51% attack unless they have 7 PH/s of hashpower, whereas someone only needs 1.3 PH/s of hashpower to perform a 51% attack on mainnet.

Obviously, I'm biased, but I think that using jtoomimnet is a better choice for all Bitcoin p2pool users.

Hi All, I've be mining on and off for a couple of years now and only recently become aware of p2pool. I have installed the software from https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool and after a few tweaks its up and running.

I installed the p2pool/p2pool version as I figured it was the official one. I've since found jtoomim/p2pool on Git also (it is discussed on this thread back on August 28th). They mention that the jtoomim version has a significant speed advantage and potentially larger payouts.

Could someone please tell me which is the one I should be using? Are they the same network, or have the different forks become separate peer2peer networks in their own right?

Any information regarding the differences in the versions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
James.

@jtoomim, please check the code, something is causing this error:
Oh, that's the error that is preventing p2pool from displaying recently found blocks. Cool. Nice find. Now that I know what to look for, I can reproduce it on my node. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Edit: Fixed, and changes pushed to my github (1mb_segwit branch).

Changes:
* Use port 9348, 9349 for bitcoincash worker port, p2p port (avoid litecoin conflict)
* Make p2pool show any blocks found within the entire share chain length (i.e. 3 days for most networks)
* Fix the displaying of recently found blocks
* Cap the number of "My shares:" to be displayed by the default UI to 50 shares.

 In 24h occurred 13 p2pool blackouts !  Shocked

  My mining machines are going crazy !



It's not p2pool "blacking out" it's the p2pool.org node, the pool itself has had zero down time since inception.

While I do what I can to keep things up and running smoothly, I'm just one guy, and the expenses of operating p2pool.org far outweigh the financial reward, so please don't beat me up to badly Wink

That being said, as suggested on the site, it's important to find at least 1, and preferably 2 backup p2pool nodes for your miners. One of the huge strengths of p2pool is it's resistance to downtime and DDoS through decentralization, that decentralization only works if miners mining on another persons node have back p2pool nodes configured...

also maybe you have recommendation ofr non EOM firmware for S7?
No, sorry. The only firmware that I tested for the S7 was hosted by Nicehash, and their website has been down since the hack. You'll have to search on your own.
The nicehash version of the Bitmain drivers allows the pool to switch you to mining anywhere at any time even any other coin without you knowing.
e.g. the pool can switch you to mine shares somewhere else, then back again, and you'd never know.
It's a major risk for miners to use the nicehash firmware ... as I've stated ever since they came up with that hack.

Please add to BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS: crypto.office-on-the.net siberia.mine.nu
Done.

Edit: Uh-oh. I just noticed that 9338 conflicts with the LTC p2pool p2p port of 9338 (which is nowhere near the worker port of 9327, grr!). I'm going to have to change the Bitcoin Cash ports. Sorry!

Please let me know if you plan on running a BCH node with high uptime so I can add you to the DNS seeds list.
Please add to BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS:
Code:
crypto.office-on-the.net siberia.mine.nu

My nodes of the BCH p2pool:
http://crypto.mine.nu:9338
http://siberia.mine.nu:9338

I use different internet channels for the WORKER_PORT and P2P_PORT. Therefore, crypto.mine.nu need not be added to BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS

Great I currently looking to buy one S9 to replace my s7
I will look into p2pool with the S9 later Smiley

S7s have a firmware bug that causes them to have about 10-20% lower hashrate on p2pool than on ordinary pools. If you mine on p2pool with a S7 with Bitmain-supplied firmware, you will experience lower revenue than you would get on a good centralized pool. (The bug was fixed in the S9.)

...
It exists in the earlier miners they made before the S7 also.
I pointed it out to them many times, MANY years ago, when I fixed the Bitmain drivers and put that in the main cgminer git - but they only did something about it finally in the S9.

What it does is throw away shares it thinks are stale, rather than pass them to the pool to decide if they are stale or not.
However, this has another rather drastic issue of throwing away blocks they think are stale, but may not be stale ...

The problem exists on all pools, but since p2pool changes work (on average) every 30 seconds, the effect is 20 times what it has on a normal pool.

The payout frequency does not depend on your hashrate. The payout frequency depends on the amount of hashrate that p2pool has as a whole. Currently, the jtoomimnet btc p2pool has about 5.75 PH/s and is expected to find a block about once every 14 days on average. In contrast, the mainnet btc p2pool has a hashrate of 1.12 PH/s, and is expected to find a block about once every 70 days on average.

If you have low hashrate, the size of each payout that you receive will fluctuate a bit, but the frequency of payouts will be no different.

quick question
what are the current Hashrate required to have regular payout (bitcoin)?
I run 2 S7 (10Th total)
is it enough or should I stick to regular pool

Cryptonomist, your node is handing out a difficulty of around 300k to your miners. The expected number of hashes needed to find a 300k diff pseudoshare is 300000*2**48/0xffff = 1.28 PH. With a hashrate of 80 GH/s, it's expected that would take about 4.47 hours per pseudoshare. Since p2pool needs to switch jobs every 30 seconds or so, that means that 99.82% of the time, p2pool would switch jobs before your miner found a (pseudo)share.

I suggest you manually set a lower pseudoshare difficulty (e.g. 256, for about 14 sec per) by putting address+256 as your stratum username. This will only affect your stats, not your revenue. You can also put address+256/32768 to set your share difficulty target to either 32768 or the network's minimum share difficulty (whichever is higher) if you want to have a better chance of mining an actual share.

Ideally, I would tweak my p2pool code so that it would adjust pseudoshare difficulty more quickly and intelligently to miners with different hashrates. However, that's pretty low on my priority list right now, since it does not affect revenue or resource requirements at all.

Hello,

@jtoomim: It was indeed just a difficulty issue. I've lowered the difficulty and now I get the local statistics in the p2pool output. Everything seems to work as expected. So thank you for the info.
