Topic: [1500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool - page 173. (Read 2591920 times)

Trying my best here trail and error is where i'm at. I tried running it with python it wont load the shares how it does with the forestcv's app. I was looking for info on how to compile if someone has done it here if they like to share or point me in the right direction on how to?  geez sorry for the wording of my last question hope this one is more direct. lol 

yes you can do it yourself if you do lots of reading & keep on trying.

you can use pyhtonwin in windows & run the latest p2p in python. tbh, it;s not that difficult, just some reading, trial & error.

don't mean to be an a*s but if the right questions are asked, you'll get a good answer & help to your problems.

People are commenting that forrest is neglecting this thread, and I'm setting the record straight. You're behaving in exactly the same manner as the people that hounded him off, trying to use insults to assert your will.

Is it possible to compile the newest updates to p2pool for windows? Is there a way i could do this myself? Any input would be appreciated.

Yeah... it wasn't required in his previous iterations of the relay client.  I'm assuming he probably did it to try and bring parity to the *nix/win builds... but I didn't read too much into the changes he made, so I'd have to leave it up to Matt to comment on the inclusion

Hi JB,

Yeah, I saw the comment on Matts thread about it. I figured that was what was needed, but just wanted to be sure, as I'd not needed it on previous builds. It's running great again now though - thanks 


I'm aware of what happened previously, I've read the entire thread & am continually re-reading sections for info. There's no reason to keep harping on about what happened - posting negative, butthurt comments is neither constructive nor helpful to anyone. Please get over it & accept it like everyone else has, including forrestv who is posting here again, thankfully. 

I use it... have since Matt first announced it.  You might be better served by asking Matt in his thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766190.200 (which it appears you already have asked there as well).

Hello!
Who uses relay netvork for p2pool?
I have an error:
user@p2pool:~/RelayNode/client$ ./relaynetworkclient public.eu.relay.mattcorallo.com 127.0.0.1 8333
illegal instruction (memory dump)

yes he did reappear notifying an update.

here it is: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/commit/2acfd3c670fb5e03a42ba48b34354ec2367f3295

not a big update but still updated.

did you guys read couple of posts up and 1 or 2 pages back ?

You will be lucky if forrestv reappears in this community, he was attacked in this thread over some seriously ignorant attitudes toward his development of this software. He has not returned since, rightly so.

Avalon 4.1 as far as I can determine works with P2P

I set up 2 miners pointed the to the same pool and matched (as much as possible) running time, getwork amount.
Calc'd Hashrate/Hashrate=% compared to accepted shares/accepted shares=%

#'s
Avalon hash/Sp20 hash & corresponding shares
948.38/1308.54  ~27.5% diff hashrate  3254/4494 diff accepted shares ~27.6%

Avalon has slightly higher getworks 1578 & 8 min running time lead on sp20
SP20   has 1566 getworks

margin of error is .0076%

If my math is wrong please speak up

I'm running it for a few hours now - can't say I'm sure if there's any difference tbh, looks like a small code tidy up is all. It would be nice if forrestv chimed in when he updated any p2pool code to let us know what the changes are exactly - if any.

Aren't we due a block or two? 

latest changes ... https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/commit/2acfd3c670fb5e03a42ba48b34354ec2367f3295

anyone updated ?

I'm already using PoS with CLAM. It makes about 0.2% per day which is nothing to turn your nose up at.


I obviously tried searching before posting, but neither of those searches turns up anything useful. I was asking whether anyone had anything to say about the idea since I wasn't able to find anything using Google. A lot of the results are either saying how p2pool doesn't work with staking, or they're people talking about using p2pool for the PoW half of PoW/PoS hybrid coins. I'm looking to use for a pure PoS coin.

Edit: to fill in the blanks a little, I'm staking CLAM, effectively running a staking pool. I have around 80% of the actively staking coins under my control, and so stake most of the blocks. That's not a great position for a coin to be in, since if I "turn evil" I am in a position to 51% the coin, reversing transactions, shutting out competing stakers, and all that good stuff. The problem is that even though I charge a 10% fee on staking rewards, the pool is so big that it orphans something like 14% of blocks found by competing stakers, just because in the event of a network fork each staker picks their own fork as the "true" one until the next block is found. And so a new staker is better off paying me the 10% fee than solo-staking and paying an effective 14% "orphan fee.

It has been proposed that p2pool could solve this problem, but I'm not convinced and so I'm looking into it. CLAM has a 1 minute target block time, and so I'm assuming the sharechain target time would need to be much shorter than that, which may well mean p2pool isn't a good fit. Is that right? Can I get any feedback about these thoughts?

The project has nearly 500 forks, and while there are some significant issues that could be worked out, p2pool works, and is updated as needed for major issues.  I pretty sure forrestv would be happy to accept any helpful commits for existing or new issues, as he has historically.

Also, while I don't believe it is open-source, NastyPoP and similar projects are interesting ongoing developments in the world of p2pool, imho.

No.
Next to no changes for a long time (other than a recent required change to stop p2pool failing when block v3 headers become mandatory)

Yes.

Google and search the forum, but I hear PoS is not so great.  Might be some profitability in mining still, regardless.


Yes.  This might help.


I feel like this was a lot of work.

Good luck!

I'm trying it now. A more thorough test would be to run 2 machines against different pools, but I only have one.
I'm going to run for 3 days n change to compare hardware errors and estimated hash rate. Hopefully P2P blocks
during this time and I can give est to actual earning results as well.

preliminary #'s

3days @ eligius DH% 0.788% DH%5m 1.028% 942.79GH av
5hrs   @ P2Pool DH% 1.075% DH%5m 0.806% 947.15GH av (p2pool current reported hashrate 1.91TH* I've seen the as low as ~200 durring this test 0% DOA)

I used to run a p2pool node a few years back but have lost touch with developments recently. I have some questions:

1) is p2pool still actively developed?

2) where can I find the most active git repository for it?

3) is it feasible to use p2pool with a proof-of-stake coin?

4) did anyone ever try that?

5) if not, what challenges might I face in porting p2pool to a PoS coin?

Thanks!

ok I think I am installed now I carry on to actually configure my p2pool server


thanks
