No.

Don't use p2pool.info - it's very inaccurate (owned by forrestv), use http://minefast.coincadence.com/p2pool-stats.php

cd p2pool
git pull

Sorry how do I download this frontend that coinadence uses? I went to the site and didn't see a link to its source. Sad

Thanks for the update info!!

It's not a publicly released front end. Yet.

I was using --fee 50 previously as I was loaning out my miners to people. Now that I am no longer doing that do I just need to remove the --fee 50 so that my pool only takes 0.5%? or do I need to remove the 50 and replace it with 0.5?

I also have incoming connections set to 8 and outgoing to 6, do I need these left alone?

I am using a 35/2Meg cable connection that isn't dedicated to p2pool.

Replace it with 0.5. You can manually set your incoming connections using --max-cons. Incoming connections default to 40. Outgoing connections default to 6.

I did the git pull on my p2pool then restart my pool and got 13.4-24-gf0eeb48-dirty as the version number. Is this correct or is there something that I am missing?

Thanks,

No, that's not the latest version. Are you using the standard p2pool code, or someone's fork (like rav3n)?

I am using the standard P2Pool code. Is there someones else's fork I should consider using for BTC p2pool mining?

I understand the --max cons, I previously set it to 8 when I had a 28/1Meg internet connection, I just wondering if I should uncap it or leave it?

Thanks!

Has there been any major updates to P2Pool in the last few months?

I see its got this interface - http://p2pool.info/ - is this a 3rd party? If so who has it?

Also if there have been any updates how do I get them again? Sorry I forgot the command I need to run inside the P2Pool folder on my Linux. Sad

Thanks,

I don't know what you are talking about, I am getting great results on p2pool. I get around $40 a week on 400gh/s. I think that's pretty good. I got $40 only overnight.

I thought even with higher pool hash rate and less shares you still get the same overall because you get more frequent smaller payouts.

I'm talking about the difficulty getting a share. As I stated above, it's frustrating waiting almost a day for a share to show up, then watch it roll off without a block. Just because there were 7 blocks doesn't mean if I was here, I'd get anything.. all depends on those shares and luck.

On a brighter note - 7 blocks & counting......

That's great. Now if only it was usable by smaller miners. I was squeezed out. My node is empty because all of them had the same hash rate or me (1.2 TH/s) or lower, and couldn't get any shares. There are few things more frustrating than waiting 18 hours for a share only to see it roll off in 24 hours without a block. Sad

M

Not to sound harsh, but mining in general is not going well for small miners. This doesn't appear to be a p2pool problem, but a general bitcoin problem. It's the nature of the beast.

I'm doing just fine on a "conventional" pool.

I thought even with higher pool hash rate and less shares you still get the same overall because you get more frequent smaller payouts.

Over time (and for smaller miners perhaps a great amount of time) p2pools payout should always be about the same, and often better as shown in the recent pool comparison thread.

As your hashrate represents a smaller % of the global pool variance will increase.

There are plenty of small miners that have mined successfully on the Coin Cadence node, it just takes great patience to wait for the share, and then hope a block is found while its valid.

Today is a great example of a huge payday for a small miner with a share in the chain... Its also not hard to look back and find a relatively long period of time where they may not have had a share and may have gone a while without payout...

Here is an example of a ~350GH/s miner on my node who cleaned up today:

http://minefast.coincadence.com/miner.php?id=1GiGw23Y6hvD7TtEw1s29hMkaoUPHJ7Z7p

yeah so that's kind of my point. put up with the variance and support distributed hashing. anyway here are my stats: http://minefast.coincadence.com/miner.php?id=1MinerGcfwXJW6BETKLPQTmKYomc1uGAXy

I've had my miners up and down and some node tweaks of late so it's been up and down but all stable now.
The data is there for all to see and you can look up my address on blockchain to see how I've done on p2pool over the last 4-6 months. My original hash rate up until about 1 month ago was only 230gh/s now it's 430gh/s avg.
If you are considering mining on p2pool or leaving p2pool, check out the returns I've had. my ~$500 worth of mining kit has paid for itself (excluding power costs) already.

It is more acutely felt by small p2pool miners because of the nature of how p2pool works. As more hash rate gets added to p2pool, the difficulty of finding a share goes up. Those with small hash rates are affected because they might go for days without finding a share - and no share means no payout. It's precisely the opposite problem found in other pools where the greater the hash rate, the less the variance for the individual miner.

OK, thanks - that's what I thought. I noticed my own DOA rate had gone up very slightly, and the thought of whoever it was throwing so much hash away was too painful to bear - so I've had to block him/her in IP tables. Feel a bit bad now though......hope they got failover set.

Whoever it is that is using my node (http://iyftech.zapto.org:9332) with payment address 1MhJ3N8szGSQEMLiyf2C4hgkWtpK3vZfCp - please check your settings - 50% of your work is DOA!!

PM me if you need any help - before I ban your IP Wink

Last call for the user in the UK mining on my node with BTC address 1MhJ3N8szGSQEMLiyf2C4hgkWtpK3vZfCp - you are literally throwing away 50% of your work for the last 6 hours!, not to mention making my stats look bad..... Wink

PM me, otherwise I can't help you.

I've even put a message up on the node web interface for you - surely miners don't just point their hash at a p2pool node without checking it? Cheesy

This is painful:

Whoever this was, I'm sorry. PM me & I'll help you set up your miner properly so you're not wasting your hash.

Question for some one cleverer than me:

Will the user who's flooding my node with high DOA's have any affect on my nodes performance or any other users income?

If not, I don't mind leaving it on, but if it's affecting other miners income, I'll have to ban it - but I'd hate to do that.....rather help him/her get it sorted.

Ta

As long as your server can handle the load of all the combined miners it should not be an issue.

Have the same problem on Coin Cadence, very high DOA, absolutely kills the node efficiency stats...

Quote from: IYFTech on September 10, 2014, 02:59:24 PM

... Essentially, you can blame dead shares on your miner configuration and orphan shares on internet latency.

I'm going to look into providing efficiency stats on a per miner basis.
