Picked up a couple hundred TH on miningrigrentals.  Owner of the rig pushed it up to over 600 TH to ramp it up.  It's settling back down to the 200 I rented.  Yes I overpaid for it... But the gambler in me is hoping we hit a few blocks in the next 6 hours Smiley

Just rented some myself. I did good on what I rented the other day when we hit those back to back blocks. Hoping to repeat it again.  Wink

do take note, if possible rent those rigs as close as possible to your own node or whichever node that you may be mining at. high latency no good for p2pool.
I was renting on Westhash which the node is in the Chicago area, which I think would be about somewhat centered as far as east/west.

You have no way of knowing the miner's ping from their location to Westhash, only your node to Westhash. There could easily be an extra 100-200ms that you can't measure.

So I thought I'd give p2pool a little bit of help finding a block...

WRONG ! statement, not a block, FEW blocks. GL mate.

i'm also doing my part here: *not much but at least something*

 Local: 59434GH/s in last 10.0 minutes Local dead on arrival: ~2.8% (2-4%) Expected time to share: 14.5 minutes
 Shares: 234 (21 orphan, 5 dead) Stale rate: ~11.1% (7-16%) Efficiency: ~105.9% (100-110%)
*supposed to have more shares but was away @ nh for couple of hours*

now where's the block Huh


LOL... yes, a few blocks would be most welcome.  If we hit a few blocks in the next 4 hours, I'll be sending a nice donation to p2pool Smiley.

So I thought I'd give p2pool a little bit of help finding a block... this is what my local node currently looks like:



Yes, that's over 600TH/s on my node  Grin

LOL... here's what my node is calculating as my share difficulty:
Code:
2015-02-07 12:40:07.900595 New work for worker! Difficulty: 500.000000 Share difficulty: 108325491.294134 Total block value: 25.038254 BTC including 296 transactions

That's for my poor little S3s... hahaha.

Of relevance to p2pool from the antpool thread

I have finally had a skype text chat with the main Chinese Bitmain software engineers and unfortunately it's precisely as I predicted. In principle they wanted to help decentralise and saw p2pool as the obvious way to get involved and would be good publicity for them. Unfortunately they spent a lot of time fixing their regular pool first and just left this announcement up almost as a "preorder for a better p2pool". However they misunderstood the issues with p2pool and thought that all it needed was more coding expertise and manpower contributed to development to fix it and have only just started investigating it now.  While they can clearly improve on the existing code - and probably will unless the project gets canned - after I queried them about what solutions they had for the intrinsic p2pool protocol limitations/problems, they had precisely zero valid solutions for them.

Thanks for posting this clarification ck  Smiley

 I don't suppose they said anything about changing their misleading topic header or posting an official announcement to confirm that they have failed to fulfil their promise to p2pool users? It's a shame, but having read through the first few pages of their "p2pool" thread just now, many of their statements are deceptive at best - it needs to be clarified once & for all so that noobs don't get fooled into using the pool in the belief that they are helping the p2pool network & decentralise Bitcoin.

Peace  Smiley

30mbps should be good enough if you are trying to use it on multi PH operation.  If you want to install IP came for the security camera watching and VPN from outside, then you may use 7-10Mbps temporary for the access and another 2-5Mpbs for the video watching or playing with your drone flying over the mining farm.



You'll always do better with your own node.

EDIT: assuming you have the bandwidth for it.

Question on this...

What kind of sustained bandwidth does a normal mining operation consume? I have a 30MB up/down pipe and was wondering what I should allocate. I can build a DMZ for my local P2Pool server to run on, and set the limits on bandwidth. Would 2MB be enough? More?

You have tons of bandwidth.  I'm able to do pretty well with 3MB down and 768k up, as long as I only use Bitcoin.  When I start merge mining, I get problems because of bandwidth issues.

Almost a negligible amount...

My node, with 35 peers and a bunch of miners averages around 20kB/s
