the estimated hashrate seems to be out ? comments on that windpath ? it does jumps up & down quite a bit recently.

Has there been any word from forrestv as to weather this new "XT" client is actually compatible with p2pool with it's different block size params?

Interesting feature, P2Pool requires -rpcpassword to be explicitly set, so it will have no effect.

Don't think so. I don't use it. I'm pretty sure it reads it from bitcoin.conf if it's not set explicitly.

Code:

BITCOIND_RPCUSERPASS bitcoind RPC interface username, then password, space-
separated (only one being provided will cause the
username to default to being empty, and none will
cause P2Pool to read them from bitcoin.conf)

You know, you may be right, I've never tried it without the user and pass....

For me starting p2pool looks something like this:

Code:

python ./run_p2pool.py RPC_USER RPC_PASS

RPC user and pass always set, it may work without it on localhost, will give it a try when I get a chance.

Just ran across this and wanted to make sure any developer was aware. It's not likely to affect me but could save some tears...

rpc: Implement random-cookie based authentication

From the commit:

When no -rpcpassword is specified, use a special 'cookie' file for authentication.

Mine at Jonny's Pool

Those are two different and separate parameters, with different functions. The "+" is the pseudo-share difficulty. It's primary function is to provide you with feedback. If you look at your miner logs, you'll only see accepts for shares greater than the value you use here. The lower the number, the more shares you submit, the smoother the graphs become.

The "/" parameter is actual share difficulty, and its functionality is as I described in my previous post.

Thank you for the information everyone. At the moment I am using a +4096 difficulty on the end of my BTC address. Is this a good idea or should I perhaps try the /1 as suggested? Would there be a huge difference?

Example with orphans (shares, you have ... reward, you doesn't ...)

Not that I know of...

that's why you MUST run your node on a local machine to view the prodution ... not use a remote P2Pool node that it count only the shares produces ...

my payouts were a solid .03 to .086 per block, now dropped to .006? exactly same hashrate. Colour me confused....

Have you been finding less shares?

Your payout may change based on the amount of shares you find, and the variation of the pools hashrate. If the pool hashrate goes down, the pools [share] difficulty goes down and you will earn a little more due to finding more shares. If the pools hashrate increases, you will earn less. The other side of this is as the pools hashrate increases, more blocks should be found; and as the pools hashrate decreases less blocks would be found.

So your payout may change based on the pools hashrate, if your hashrate stays the same.

Typically when your expected payout drops way down, it's because you're either finding fewer than expected shares (variance) or the shares you are finding are orphaned or DOA. Also, take a look at the node on which you're mining. If the node's hash rate will lead it to finding a lot of shares, the node will adjust the share difficulty up to compensate. You can counteract this by using the "/" parameter in your miner user name:

Code:

BTC_ADDRESS/1

This will tell the node that no matter what it determines the share difficulty to be, you want it to accept shares of minimum network difficulty from you.
