I've been making some scrypt-based altcoin p2pools and I've noticed that for the first 30 seconds or so of mining in a new p2pool instance, the vast majority of work results in hardware errors. I've tried letting the p2pool run for a while first to make sure everything is fully "loaded", but this doesn't seem to make a difference. Several users, including myself have verified this, and it's not a mining hardware problem. I never, ever get a HW error in any other circumstance.
Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a possible solution?

reported speed is 98 TH right now, speed on p2pool.info still shows 150 TH but is clearly wrong.
BTW, those 1TH units popping up like mushrooms after a rainfall seem to behave fairly well on p2pool, I'm testing one since yesterday.

I remember gmaxwell reporting the Cointerra machines work wonderfully with p2pool. Wish more CT owners would install some nodes and get with the p2pool program.
They do work quite nicely with p2pool.com ;-)

I've heard they work very well even with a remote node. Obviously separate nodes are better for decentralization but for p2pool to survive it needs to grow hash rate here, so even getting people on remote nodes can be a means to an end.

How do I configure this stupid bitcoin-qt app on my P2Pool?
I am trying to transfer out 0.26017615 BTC and I told "the total exceeds your balance when the 0.001 BTC transaction fee is included". So subtract the 0.001 fee and put in 0.25917615 and it now tells me "the total exceeds your balance when the 0.002 BTC transaction fee is included". WTF really? Why can't this f'n application work?
Plz help, thanks!

A little off-topic isn't it? Bitcoin-Qt may be used by P2Pool (or bitcoind instead of Bitcoin-Qt) but this isn't a P2pool question. Sort of like asking why Python didn't install in this thread. Nothing to do with P2Pool.
That said, try checking your Preferences in Bitcoin-Qt. The Main tab has the default transaction fee setting.
What is the default transaction fee supposed to be set at?

Looks like we lost multipool to eligius recently, which is a big chunk of TH (currently 12 TH, but I think sometimes 20 TH or more).
However, I'm not seeing a drop off in total hash rate, so I guess there is enough coming online to take its place. Nasty just added 1.6 TH and I added almost 1 TH.
I hope we can keep p2pool viable.

Both of these make P2Pool easier to use; the eventual goal is being able to run P2Pool on the same hardware miners use, such as a Raspberry Pi, though that would likely require a laborious rewrite in C++ or another compiled language.
My current progress on this: I have a piece of software talking to bitcoind and augmenting blocks with UTXO merkle branches, feeding that to another piece of lightweight software that can trustlessly verify the blockchain, while holding O(1) state. I have a good idea about how the non-linear sharechain will work, but implementing that hasn't started yet.

- Why a UTXO proof vs. a TXO proof?
- How do you see these p2pool nodes starting up? Will they get the UTXO set from another node, or verify some or all of the blockchain themselves?
- Have you thought about what happens during a 51% attack? What if p2pool has a larger share of hashing power than it does now?

Mine are much lower now too out of 60 shares I have 4 orphan and 4 dead. It use to be a higher.

Thanks. Based on that, it sounds like maybe I don't need to be running a P2Pool. Doesn't benefit anybody much and it's just causing me heart-ache. :-)
I will continue running the bitcoind node, however.

Hi,
1. If you look at the "Local rate" on the link to your static page, you see 0.00H/s right now, so no one is using it yet.
2. You are running bitcoind, so that helps the bitcoin network, as far as p2pool, it helps provide redundancy. Likewise, more nodes help p2pool so that block that are found propagate faster and reduce the chance of p2pool blocks becoming orphans.
3. You might point a miner to it and see if it shows the same information when someone is mining on it. Otherwise, I would just be guessing.
4. Usually from lists or posts, I think. Latency, reliability, those would be two criteria I would think are important.
5. The number of miners is lower than one would hope at the moment. I think the number of nodes is okay, but it doesn't hurt to have more (see #2).
That is my quick take on the questions you asked.
:-)

Thank you,
I think that might be the problem. They might not be doing the same thing at the moment. Its also frustrating, since i'm new to this i'm trying to visit as many websites as possible so I don't have to ask as many silly questions.
Lastly, On a P2pool I was mining the last 24 hours and getting coins sent to my wallet. The coins being sent in was in a parabola curve. Now i'm at "no shares yet" for the last 3 hours. Is that a common thing for a p2pool?

It just depends on your hash power and the difficulty of the coin you are mining. p2pool payments have more variance than traditional pools.

Hi guys,
A new miner here. I am currently mining on a p2pool. I have two gaming computers mining to one address. When I check the p2pool hashrate (on their website) adding the second computer doesn't do anything to my hashrate.
Am I doing something wrong? Are other people finding this as well?
Thank you in advance!
Edit: Second computer is at a different house, if that matters.

You might try using separate addresses to try and isolate the problem. If you have two 180GH miners and they are both pointing to the same node with the same address, you should see a 360GH hash rate being reported.
