ben mininig for 1.6 days now and still Payout if a block were found NOW: 0 BTC what does this meen ? do i need more THS?
here is the link to the node : 85.165.223.226:9332

I think it means you are not mining to the default address. You currently have 2 miners mining on your node, both using wallet addresses. If these are your only miners then it's all good. Your latency & efficiency are all good also. Only the 1% fee your node charges miners will be paid to the default address.

I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to GBT latency, unless it's absurdly high... check some other p2pools, the block sizes, and the GBT they're getting.  

Block size will have the biggest impact on your GBT times... more transactions, the higher it goes.  e.g. I put nogleg.com:9332 up just for the hell of it, and the GBT times are super low, because all the blocks being created are just 1 transaction, that's with maxblocksize=1000 set in bitcoin.conf.

ed: less confusing statement:  if you think yours is too high, you could lower that value (default is 1MB now?  or maybe still 750KB) until it maxes out at what you'd like it to max at.  you'll have less transactions included, though.

Howto get latency of bitcoin-qt low? I am just now around 0.5s

Install bitcoin v0.11. Add to your bitcoin.conf:

maxconnections=10

then run bitcoin-qt and look connections in debug witdow. Choose IPs with lowest latencies and add them to your bitcoin.conf. Add there not more then 4 the best.

addnode=x.x.x.x
Bull.
You can do same adding
timeout=150
BUT it will NOT give you better GBT.

Hey I've been trying to optimize my bitcoind for p2pool any tips. As to settings, what kind of peers I should allow, where to find those peers, etc.
What do you think about his I been banning rbf peers kind of an actives activity.

Like that you represent in your tag name!

will "timeout=150" parameter of bitcoind allow only peers below that limit? if yes, you are absolutelly correct that should solve it. my gbt is around 0.4 just now with parameters I used (maxconnections=10 and manually choosed addnodes). but I see spikes sometimes (once a day or less often) whose are blocking for a while whole my node... is there any solution to filter it? look graph added

Hi all just abit offtopic. I started using p2pool got it setup and running on my local node. Now just a quick qustion how to make my node public so that i can have some of my friends connect to it.

Thanks in advance.
Not off topic at all.  Assuming you have a BTC p2pool node setup, you'll need to open up port 9332.  To be a "good" citizen, you should have the following ports open:

8333 - BTC peers
9333 - p2pool peers
9332 - p2pool miners

Note that opening up 8333 and 9333 will allow multiple peers to connect and you will see higher bandwidth usage.

both of protocols? or just TCP?

ps : do you have it maybe for windows ?

You can just rename the web-static folder, download the front end of your choice, create a new web-static folder with the front end index and anything else in it, and pull up the page...

Mine at Jonny's Pool
There are a number of front ends available...

hardcpp's - https://github.com/hardcpp/P2PoolExtendedFrontEnd
johndoe75's - https://github.com/johndoe75/p2pool-node-status
justino's - https://github.com/justino/p2pool-ui-punchy

Installation is pretty much the same for them all - replace the contents of your web-static folder with it.  In case you want to keep your original (again, commands are *nix based):
Code:
cd p2pool
mv web-static web-static_orig
mkdir web-static
cd web-static
git clone https://github.com/justino/p2pool-ui-punchy.git

Yes.  You will need to stop the currently running p2pool instance, and then start a new one (the python command) for whatever OS you're using.  I posted the Linux/OS X commands.  Somebody who runs a Windows install could give you the proper syntax for that OS.

Thanks for the reply m8. but i am lost now Sad where about do you find this start up command. =) just abit step by step new to this.
You start p2pool like this:

Code:
./run_p2pool.py --give-author 2 --fee 1

That will give forrestv a 2% donation and will charge anyone who mines on your node a 1% fee.

You type it in a command console to start p2pool. Have a read of the readme, particularly the section on running p2pool:

https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool

or type in:

Code:
python run_p2pool.py --help

..to see a list of commands  Wink

ok just to make sure .  i did edite the bitcoind conf file whit :
--give-author 2
-f 1

when i lunched the p2pool it said donating 1% to the author. Did i do something wrong. ? ?

Not in the bitcoind conf file, add it to the p2pool start up command, like so:

Code:
~/p2pool/run_p2pool.py --give-author {yourdonation] --fee [yourfee]

Add your number without the [], leaving a space between commands.
