Can anyone help me I rebooted my p2pool node running on Ubuntu 14.04 and I get this error. Bitcoin Qt is running and up to date. My node has been running fine up until the last reboot.

You have any restrictions on the number of connections allowed to your bitcoind process?  Did you try stopping/restarting bitcoind?  Does Ubuntu 14.04 have some kind of built-in security that you need to allow port 8332 traffic (sorry, don't know that distribution well enough)?  Can you telnet into that IP/port successfully?

Sorry I'm new to Ubuntu, it has been running fine for the last month, I rebooted as there was a Ubuntu update and then I got this error. I have re formatted re-installed Ubuntu, Bitcoin Qt and p2pool so now have a fresh install but still getting this error. How can I see if Ubuntu is blocking port 8332 and if bitcoin is restricting a number of connections. When I first installed it it ran perfectly so not sure why I'm getting this now.

andmax,

are the same you have inside .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf's rpcuser/rpcpassword keys ?

Yes username and password in bitcoin.conf are the same as on my command line to start p2pool, thanks for your help just want to get it back up and running again as I'm in Australia and no p2pool nodes close by to hook into.

and server=1 ? do you have it inside bitcoin.conf?

and rpcallowip=? do you have it/what value has it?

as you can see I'm thinking about a misconfiguration between bitcoind and p2pool.

maybe it is something else entirely.

Mine at Jonny's Pool
I just got my Antminer S1 in and decided to give p2pool a shot.  I set up my own node and got my miner connected to it and mining successfully but I wasn't finding any shares.  I turn over to the stats at http://127.0.0.1:9332 and it says ETA 11 hours to find 1 share  Shocked  Meanwhile it's ETA 19 hours for the pool to find a block so that means if I'm lucky I'll get 1 or 2 shares and if they happen to be at the beginning of the round... well it's PPLNS so it won't even count right?  I'm starting to see why this isn't catching on.  We need much less difficulty on the shares so little guys like me can actually mine on it without it being a cointoss whether I get any actual bitcoins out of it.  I've got another S1 coming in tomorrow but 6-7 hours per share still doesn't cut it for me (especially with the PPLNS system.)

*sigh*  Back to GHash I go for tonight.  I may try looking for other pools in the morning since I don't like how big GHash is getting but at least I get steady rewards over there.

The larger p2pool is, the higher the share difficulty.  Right now the share difficulty is 2million.  Yes, that makes variance large for little guys.  Has always been a downside of p2pool.

In today's day and age, 200gh/s isn't that much. Sad

That said, I've got someone on my node who has 800MH/s..


Might I suggest eligius over GHash?

M

I looked at it today and I like Eligus.  My 2nd Antminer S1 came in this morning and I had them both switched over to Eligus and went to cash out of GHash.  Unfortunately, they have a minimum 0.01 withdrawal limit and I had only mined about 0.005.  On top of that, it looks like they charge a ridiculous 0.001 "commission" on withdrawal so I had to switch my miners back to GHash until I hit my minimum and then give them a 10% fee to cash out.  They don't mention that withdrawal commission when they say "0% fee pool."  I like the way Eligus does it better where they send the generated coin from the next block directly to you when you hit your minimum (and it's all actually free as far as I can tell.)

Kind of off topic... but you can setup an auto-payout on GHash.  This way you just mine until you get to 0.01, and you'll get paid on their next scheduled payout (usually once a day).  No fees for auto-payouts.

I do still believe 100 GHs, over time, will do just fine on p2pool....

A 100GHS miner will have barely acceptable variance right now but in one week or month's time-- who knows?

On the speed/variance topic:

This is a miner who has been mining consistently at 10 GHs (yes, ten) on P2Pool .

The miner was paid (i.e. had a share) in 15 of the last 20 blocks.

100 GHs is completely realistic for P2Pool, you just have to be patient and the BTC will come in.



Edit: As it turns out this miner was previously on another p2pool node at about 250 GHs, then dropped to 10 GHs June 3rd, so these payouts do not accurately reflect 10 GHs...

I do still believe 100 GHs, over time, will do just fine on p2pool....

The larger p2pool is, the higher the share difficulty.  Right now the share difficulty is 2million.  Yes, that makes variance large for little guys.  Has always been a downside of p2pool.

In today's day and age, 200gh/s isn't that much. Sad

At that share difficulty, how much hashrate do I need to have, so I could expect 1 share a day on average?

I'm guessing about 100gh/s.

M

You can figure it out using the following formula:

Difficulty * 2**32 / hashrate / 86400 = number of days to find a share

Since you want the days to find a share to be 1, you can solve for hash rate.

2272866.97 * 2**32 / hashrate / 86400 = 1

hashrate = 112.98482991097931851851852 GH/s as of right now Smiley

Updated list to include FSC (fusioncoin):

To help other p2pool ops that may be interested in sharing their merged mining income, I have dedicated addresses you can send to that I'll then convert to BTC and feed back into the pool:

DVC: 1f56VqR9ajX3K42qSaDezvKXFmruSDg1B
IXC: xaNQ54gxowcwHyxqGtFM4vwCfS84V6fmKF

FSC: Fjhv8Sk8iC7AF76CTJbKo1zkHLUbTTTBs2

(I haven't given up on this yet... despite the fact that it doesn't seem be going anywhere.)

M

I checked out some of the exchanges and there's pretty much no activity on any of them for FSC.  Not sure if you even could convert to BTC.  I've currently got 139,000 FSC (well, that is the balance in my wallet, not all of it's confirmed yet) that I can send if you want to combine them with whatever you've got.

I've got about 100,000 or so here.  I'll keep them stashed away until/if the day comes they have some value.

Decentralize your hashing - p2pool - Norgz Pool
booyaaa! more blocks please.

btw, not exactly p2pool specific but I use p2pool so if it makes a difference specifically to p2pool then also interested.

I have a handful of miners, all varying speeds, i'm best to:

1. point them all at my pool with the same wallet address (no manual diff set)
2. point them all at the pool with same wallet address and each with the suitable diff set as calculated off the hash rate
3. have them all on different wallet addresses with a manual diff set for each device based on it's hashing power
4. have all different wallet addresses and no need to worry about setting diff.

One lot of miners which is a mix of 2 x 2gh u2's, 1 x 2.5gh yellowjacket and a bfl single 30gh at one site
second lot is a single s1 at different site.

Updated list to include FSC (fusioncoin):

To help other p2pool ops that may be interested in sharing their merged mining income, I have dedicated addresses you can send to that I'll then convert to BTC and feed back into the pool:

DVC: 1f56VqR9ajX3K42qSaDezvKXFmruSDg1B
IXC: xaNQ54gxowcwHyxqGtFM4vwCfS84V6fmKF
NMC: N1XhWNmvGhFL145zmQGQv7Vug6mThNh1iQ
I0C: jMDtRnMAk2WxaoAw8HUceMaxPPqAuZ8AEN
FSC: Fjhv8Sk8iC7AF76CTJbKo1zkHLUbTTTBs2

(I haven't given up on this yet... despite the fact that it doesn't seem be going anywhere.)

I checked out some of the exchanges and there's pretty much no activity on any of them for FSC.  Not sure if you even could convert to BTC.  I've currently got 139,000 FSC (well, that is the balance in my wallet, not all of it's confirmed yet) that I can send if you want to combine them with whatever you've got.

I've got about 100,000 or so here.  I'll keep them stashed away until/if the day comes they have some value.

Holy crap!  My node is reporting a total hash rate of the p2pool network of just over 1PH/s!
