Certainly hope it dosen't work out that badly for p2pool on BTC. I'm sure it'll always have some level of popularity with other coins though. It's such a cool technology.

If we get support for multiple payout addresses (for group buys, etc) that might help get more hash power off of ghash.io and into the network.

Pretty much. I pointed out before that 5+ days rounds are not sustainable, and we're only a few days from another ~20% difficulty jump. It is only a matter of time before we see 7+ day rounds or worse. RIP p2pool.

Wow... Is everyone jumping ship?  Hash rate is down to about 110TH/s...

I've been mining in p2pool the last 3-4 days and I'm wondering, if anyone else has these thoughts, that maybe something is not operating as efficiently as possible.  I am looking at p2pool.info and if you look at the long list of blocks, each time miners get out of a good block, and get some % of what was expected, it goes immediately into a new block but it ends up like the one 3 days ago, at -352% expected.  Is this because of the issues around p2pool running on a computer?  Is this just part of the system or can we tweak the efficiency and if so how?  I know probably all p2pool miners are configuring/tweaking the best they can, I'm just curious why there seems to be so much mining work inefficiency.  I'm using Ubuntu and p2pool runs great.  I get a lot of "peer sent entire transaction "jerlkjerlkje" that was already received.  My stale rate right now is 17.2%, that is somewhat high isn't it, given I have an Intel Core i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz x 4, and I don't use the computer for anything but p2pool and btc wallet.  I guess it's the latency issue, is that the real problem causing the inefficiency in numbers?  OR do you guys think it will balance out later?  Just curious.  I really love p2pool by the way, I think it's definitely the way to go for miners. 

it's not installed, it's generated once you run bitcoin-qt or bitcoind.

OK, I just checked again and you are right, it is installed.  That's weird, it showed it was not installed earlier, my error. 

You must have bitcoind running if p2pool is working. By default it stores stuff in ~/.bitcoin

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I've got p2pool running on Ubuntu.  I have Bitcoin-qt obviously, but why is bitcoind not installed on my system?  Where is my computer storing the blockchain?  Don't I need to install bitcoind immediately?  I'm just lookin to be as efficient as possible and I have plenty of hard drive space.   Thanks!

And another one!

And now finally, a block.  1 min ago. 

More like 2 days now. We're slacking.

You'll be OK:


 

No reboots, just p2pool instance restart. Yes still set up to do that, no idea if its still needed but everything works as-is so I leave it alone.

Still not enough. Still having to reboot once a week are you?

Just asking. 

You could save up a bit from the 3-block days. Just saying.

Right, I'm checking out. These 4, 5 or 6+ day blocks don't even pay my electric bill 

Adios amigos.

Irony ...

I merge mine Namecoin on UNO and BTC. That's it so far. Haven't tried United Scrypt, Huntercoin, etc.

Ahh... I've got rav3n's and forrestv's.  Are you merge-mining the BTC/VTC/UNO?  What kind of impact, if any, does that have vs just mining BTC?  I assume you'd start the p2pool with something like:

./run_p2pool.py --merged walletID@host:port ...

Yeah?

Edit: Well, you're obviously not merge-mining the VTC since it's scrypt-n
