I brought a bit of power back to p2pool, I miss her. Not much for now, but it got me a piece of that last block.

Threw some rental hash back at p2pool last night about 1 hour before that block was found.... wish I had done it earlier but can hope the pool finds another fast couple.

Fail again... Tongue
LOL... I've refrained... the wound is still too fresh from the last time I rented Tongue

Nice drop in hash rate brings a block in....... Cheesy Tongue
I had to brush the dust off the wallet to see it for myself... A block... Haven't seen one of those in a while Smiley

And that block paid back more than half of my rental spent...just one more fast one and I will be ahead!

I understand that as you took a hard hit last time.
Yeah... if I do rent big again, chances are I'm just going to throw it at ck.'s solo pool and pray to the BTC gods I get lucky Smiley.  I might pick something a bit smaller for here... maybe 20-30TH or so for 3-4 days.

Don`t panic! Organize!
i take my Node offline. There are no p2pool Miner.

 Roll Eyes the concept is to do the job ... alone.
1 person = 1 node.

try to connect to a node and get hack in the week.  Grin
Rly? I has over 20 miners on my nodes some time ago, noone reported any troubles.
Not everyone can/want to run some machine 24/7 for running own node.

...so p2pool grows much slower than these ASIC companies......

Grows? Where is the "growth"? Look at the last 6 months:



The reason p2pool doesn't grow is because it can't handle the scalability. Every other pool manages to grow. Blaming p2pools problems on asics manufacturers is just plain wrong I'm afraid. It's a p2pool problem & nobody else's, & always has been.

Just my mind dump:

In my mind, p2pool needs to see a block every two - three days to stay alive...  Beyond three days work is completely discarded.

I'm a noob, but correct me if I'm wrong.   There's a finite number of blocks discovered, and if P2Pool doesn't have the hash they will be solved by other pools... so "luck" is disproportionately lost as the hash goes down. 

Slush is running at 10-11PH, and yesterday with over 200% luck it found 8 blocks.  100% means 4 blocks a day at 10 PH/s.

so if we're running at 2.5PH/s at 100% luck.. 1 per day might be expected by may not be realistic as larger pools could steal them away before they are solved, no?

Watching rented hash or home grown hash fall off the share list after 3 days is a deal killer.   P2Pool will not continue to retain hash if multiple 4 & 5 day intervals occur on a regular basis.

Seems like P2Pool needs 2-3PH/s minimum  to be viable with the current software state and difficulty.

When I log in and see 1-1.5PH/s I think the 7 day delays are going to continue popping up.

Can someone tell me if my thinking is screwed up?

Well ANY pool needs to have at least 1% of total hashrate to be considered as a solution for the luck factor, today is 3.2 PH.

Having said that P2pool has the potential to become a quite big mining pool.

Require some more active development probably.

Regards

Probably more a case of all the ASIC companies keeping their ASICs and using their own pools. 

they don't seem to keen on giving up future profits for having a little extra $ on hand immediately.  so they then price these ASICs at some absurd price, so only some mining hobbiest will buy them,  so  p2pool grows much slower than these ASIC companies chinese pools

Never.

be carefull to not associate finding a block (by the p2pool) and the ability of "win" job reward by shares.

shares indicate the amount of bitcoins ... and finding a block ... do the transaction.
if p2pool find a block ... and you don't have emit share (because of your power hash), it's normal.

with my 32GH/s = 1 pay reward per month only.

Have you guys had transactions that have not gone thru? or Unconfirmed?

If so, how do you fix it?

I did a google search and it says to close the wallet and reopen, but i have done that a few time already.


Thanks.

Yes twice.

Never when I include a pool fee.

From p2pool? Never.

Sounds like a wallet problem - you should ask in the appropriate support thread  Wink

pour more hash in & be luckier.

No it won't, It'll make it worse cos of the scalability problem. More hash power makes the problem worse, not better  Sad

No bounty = no development = no fix.

I actually pointed a few S3's at my node because the rise in BTC made it worth a gamble, but if the hash rate gets too high I'll pull them off again - it's a crazy situation  Tongue

true but atm 6m is not high for p2p imo, still bearable for now. i do point mine from time to time to keep the shares especially when diff is low.
