Finding a "high" difficulty share is just a matter of luck.  Every share your miner finds has a value.  If the value is high enough, you win a share on the p2pool block chain.  If it's super high, it's considered a block on the BTC block chain and everyone in p2pool wins.

But it's all based on luck.  The faster your machine is hashing, the more likely it is that you'll find a higher share in a given period of time.  But it's not guaranteed.

 I am new to p2pool and have set it up before, have ports forwarded, have 6 out and 9 in, 120%+ EFF, p2pool itself seems to work just fine, other then the issue I posted and was ignored BTW. I am finding shares and only have 600 GHs (I know it's a hobby my wife finds BTC to hard to be true...) but something just seems off here with my miner stats.

 I have an S3 and a S1 the best share for the S1 is over 14 million and I think the only one of the two miners that is finding shares because the S3 is only at 8 million best share so no way it can find one when diff is at 10-12 mill this is after a 48 hr runtime . I have tried the whole (address)/5000+512 thing and the 512 part does work but the 5000 or changing the share diff doesn't work at all for me no matter what I put for (address)/  so is this part of the p2pool code broken or am I missing something here???

IDK if this is a firmware issue with the S3 or what but something is wrong here with the S3 it works fine on all other pools but I cant stand them anymore sry but I cant.

Any suggestions?


O and rock on P2Pool today been a good day...

It have been a lovely day!!! Keep them coming.

Again, Thanks to all for your help.

Woohoo!!! Keep them coming!

Oh look... Another one!

That's easy... we find another block!  Oh look... we just did

diff down, hits a block, hashrate goes up = ? ? ?

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Drops -6.14%, feels a free couple weeks to me!

Go Go p2pool

Sent you all the details, waiting for your response on this now

Difficulty goes down... p2pool finds a block.  Let's find a few more today

I'd like to see your pool setup in your S4 please.  PM it to me if you prefer.

Sent you the stats links in PM. Hope you find out something after looking at them.

Can you post a screenshot of your pool settings from your S4?

For example, If you consider my previous worker in p2pool node. It earned too much for 5 days and earnings became blank later on. Dont know why.

The new btc address is correct and still no earnings after mining for 1.5hour. It also showed graphs of hashrate. I waited more than 24hours but still no sign of earnings.

I doubt the node owner did some changes or pool itself has problems giving out earnings.

Whats your opinion on this?

Sounds to me like your payout address wasn't set right as your username?

Hey mate,

I have a weird case with my 3 antminer s4's. I am in p2pool since a month and was receiving decent payouts than any other pool. I used custom cgminer built by ckolivas and made changes to que size=1. Here comes the big difference.

Before the p2pool took 4days+ to find a block, my 6TH gave me like 0.1btc, 0.2btc etc for 4days. after that recently when there was no block found in 4th day my payout became BLANK. nothing displays, it was like that for 12hours and i changed the pool completely to come back when a block is found.

Finally after a block is found in p2pool i pointed my miner back again to same old p2pool node but with different btc address as worker name. Ran it for 1.5hours and still no earnings. I got mad and changed to btcguild. Its been 24hours i ran my miners on node for 1.5hours yesterday. no sign of earnings at all.

Is it something with the custom cgminer which is the problem here? or is it something with my node? or pool?

I am really confused and dont want to leave p2pool because i know this is the best but weird things r worrying me.

Thanks

The facts appear to be that there is no difference.

Ok all you smart miners,.


I am running Bitmain S1,S2 and S3 and soon to be S5 miners. I have set the Queue setting to Queue=0  in all the miners i am able to set.   My node averages 105% efficiency and average number of shares is approximately 20 shares in 24 hours.  I have 8.7TH  hash power

It seems I am running very consistent,  and I was wondering is it better to set queue=0 or queue=1. There seems to be some difference of opinion.

So please chime on with facts if possible.

Thanks
