Does anyone know where i can get the p2pool luck over ~ 1 year?

Another thing I'd add to the list...

Fix being able to get lots of transactions without GetBlocktemplate Latency going through the roof.  OR something that alleviates the problem.  Long term p2pool isn't going to cut it if it can't get transactions.

Is that reliant on bitcoind only or also peers? I've been doing some tuning of bitcoind but struggle to keep it below 0.5 secs and not topping 1s.
Is that a bitcoind issue or a p2pool issue?

Its not p2pool issue, use ssd disk and should be able to put
blockprioritysize=0
#blockminsize=2000
blockmaxsize=1000000
mintxfee=0.00001
minrelaytxfee=0.00001

With just 0.2s, with merged mining namecoin, fusioncoin, ixcoin and devcoin
i'm using fc disk and large caching. I've not seen blockprioritysize=0 before. that does that do?
also do you set maxconnections?

If i put maxconnections over 20 bitcoind starts to upload blocks with all upload bw, so I keep it 19
blockprioritysize=0 prevents 0 fee transactions

thanks, I've just set blockprioritysize and it looks like latency is down lower than its been. now around 0.2~0.3 but will monitor. ive got maxconns at 20. did you find that extra 1 really made a difference?
I have a 50mbit fibre link that achieves up to 70mbit up so I don't think i'll have any bandwidth issues with maxconns.

I can go with 40 (10mbit up) but hasnt found it useful, no deads with 19...

Ants seems to find shares just as easy with those settings mintxfee=0.00001 minrelaytxfee=0.00001 as 0.1 so it works here just fine with lots of transactions.. In fact when setting those to 0.1 to have blocktemplate to some ms, ants starts to submit share more than once..

If Your home directory is on normal hd and system runs on ssd or theres mounted an ssd on /mnt/ put this on your /etc/fstab

/mnt/.bitcoin           /home/usrername/.bitcoin           none    bind    0 0

then as root cp -Rp /home/username/.bitcoin /mnt/.bitcoin

mount it

mount /home/username/.bitcoin

Then its on ssd

Anything we do will be on github as it integrates with our bug tracking software and also allows for transparency for the community so people can see we are not distributing malware and the such, and also allows for community contribution, we are also looking into making it easier to setup and run for multiple coins and a bit easier for people to add new coins when they release as well as possibly integrating an auto update function

I thought anything more than 0.1 sec is too high?  If that's wrong I'll adjust my settings..

Well my node seems fine with anything up to 1s. I only have 1 orphan out of 13. www.norgzpool.net.au

Any other node ops thoughts on this?

I have a programmer and 2 computer science / mathematics major interns going over the code this weekend should know more on Monday about the full scope of what needs to be fixed / implemented and a rough timeline hopefully, **fingers crossed**

Don't forget we have this http://p2pminers.ideascale.com/ to help identify ideas and help collaborate. If we can identify issues and assign them to devs as well as using github, we can hopefully avoid duplication of effort.

Me and my development team here at Templar Crypto Research currently are analyzing the code of p2pool to see the viability of implementing fixes as well as new features such as a gui as well as some of the requested changes, hopefully it shouldn't be to difficult
Great to hear and look forward to your input.

So we should donate to an expert who makes the frontend that works and has maybe the same info as p2poolinfo once had..

I'll be done with recreating p2pool.info in a few weeks, no donations requested.

Link: http://minefast.coincadence.com/p2pool-stats.php

The front end will be ongoing project for a while until I think it's right...

Link Node: http://minefast.coincadence.com/index.php
Link Miner: http://minefast.coincadence.com/miner.php?id=19vXrwKGUhK4cCU8tA4kWZgbChcmh9a6qj

Looks very good to me, great work  Smiley

Our german Litecoin (LTC) P2Pool Node is now online with 0% Fee! The Server is a Dell Poweredge with 8 x Xeon, 32 GB RAM and 2 x 1 TB WD Raid 1 HDD. Lets rock.

This way to Pool: http://litecoin.minerpool.de:9327
User : Litecoin Address
Password: any


Congrats Smiley

Make sure to get listed here http://p2pool.litecointools.com/?v=1&ctry=7

mhhh. I cant add my Node? Sad Is here nobody for a short Intermezzo with the Node? My Zeusminer comes in approx a week Sad

That does not invalidate my point: why make more than trivial commits if miners are being asked to pay another developer in an opt-out manner?
Having been around p2pool for longer than most— I can't agree with your views here. The donation income on P2pool has always been a trivial amount— sure, aggregates sound impressive when you don't realize that most of it was at $10 price levels— and I understand forrestv spent a fair amount buying mining hardware (since vendors have never eagerly tried to work with p2pool).  If someone was contributing substantially I don't have any doubt that forrestv would happily share donations with them.

From my own perspective p2pool exists in something of a design minima— it does everything _I_ want well.  There are some tweaks here or there that I might like (e.g. support for failover to another bitcoind) which don't even reach the level of want for me to go dig into the codebase and to it.   Further development of P2pool would be things like reorganizing the sharechain to support other payout schemes or reduce variance for small miners... this isn't small work that most people are just going to go out in do— I think my experience in bitcoin core tells me that contributors in that space almost don't exist.  For myself I'm perfectly happy with my level of share variance on P2Pool, so I can certantly understand why others aren't rushing in.

Let the chips fall where they may.

I suspect that default 1% donation to one developer may actually discourage code contributions and encourage forking. That is, forrestv gets all the credit if somebody submits a patch. I don't think that is intentional though.

Currently (https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/graphs/contributors), forrestv is by far the largest contributor, with more than 75% of the commits (not counting merges for code or content contributed by other developers which isn't free).
So it's not a problem currently: no other developer can claim having contributed meaningfully without looking like a troll. The second contributor way behind forrestv with ~1% of the commits is coblee who provided the litecoin support (which served as a base for other scrypt support). I'm not sure who gets the donations when using p2pool for litecoin, it might be coblee.

That does not invalidate my point: why make more than trivial commits if miners are being asked to pay another developer in an opt-out manner?

The P2Pool.info thing sounds like it might need it's own maintainer, for example. We had somebody asking for historical data in the thread here to set up a replacement. They may be a good candidate to take it over.
