Is there anyway to disable the wallet function in P2Pool and have it instead forward the percentage of shares the note is to receive to a different wallet?

I have hit a stumbling block; over a week a go I initiated a transfer of over 1/2 a bitcoin and Bitcoin-QT told me I need to account for 0.0004 of the fee, so I did that and ever since the transfer has been in limbo, it looks like bitcoin-qt gave me the wrong fee to account for it if I understand the blockchain correctly.

Also I need to figure out if can fix this issue or have I lost those coins? Sad

Thanks,

do I need to add anything to the bitcoin.conf?

Those would definitely entice a lot more people to give it a try. Good luck!! I have a dream that one day we will reach 500 TH/s.

Too low. In six months 500 TH might well be just one block a week. This is do or die time for p2pool. If adoption doesn't pick up soon, we are facing a death spiral and the need for a full relaunch (which might be okay)

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.

Pypy works fine with the current p2pool code, have you tried that? Not quite sure about a RPi, but it should help on a lot of small hosts.

Re: The rest.

Looking forward to it. Good stuff.

Anybody have any ideas how to increase the hash rate? We are sinking to a smaller and smaller percentage of the network, and round times are growing. We're having 4 day rounds now, a few more difficulty jumps and it may be weeks or longer.

Something must be done.

I'm working on a revamp of P2Pool that will give us a few key features that will help:

Running a "lite" P2Pool instance - one without a full Bitcoin node - will be possible without losing any of the promises P2Pool makes about its contribution to Bitcoin network health
P2Pool will have a non-linear sharechain so that we can have shares more often than 30 seconds, allowing small miners to use P2Pool

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.

if I ran my miner over night will I see the results are back on track?

depending of miner hash rate you will see full results first in 3 days. if block is already longer "in work" you will not get/reach in first block full payout. P2pool is hop-proof pool.
in some alcoin p2pools you can see results earlier depending of block frequency of this coin and several other factors.

re: creating p2pools for alt currencies
(...)

Ure right, removed it on my fork
https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav/commit/a19b69536f0e79869a863b6603459e1055441a1a
Will restart all my nodes one by one to make it happen.

ah, nice, just noticed this

i'll probably start up the doge pool again

ah, long live doge, too boring to monitor all the new shitcoins, just leave it on there for a month or so

Are there any benefits/limitations/issues with using alternative blockchain daemons with a p2pool node instead of the standard bitcoind/Bitcoin-qt?

I'm currently using the Bitcoin-qt OMG client with wallet disabled.

Was thinking along the lines of btcd which is currently in alpha or some other optimized client.

okay I will wait a bit longer to see what happen, but it used to never to this, both miners always showed predicted payouts. On a different note the p2pool-note-status static page has been updated, it now shows the "payout if block were found now".

"Predicted payouts" is misleading because it sounds like you will be getting a payout. It's actually just the total value of your shares in the share chain at that moment, same as if you click on Payouts on the Extended interface. If a block it paid out right then, that's the amount you'd get paid, because that is your total share value in the share chain. It doesn't mean the pool will find a block (you might get paid zero). The pool could also find many blocks (you'd get paid that for each of them).

On my nodes I've changed it to say "Your Share(s)", hoping it's more intuitive that way.

Have a look at my node; http://p2pool.smoothrunnings.ca:9332/

My local hardware is which the top one is not showing any shares, it was even doing that before it took it down for a while today; I had another issue both with my bicoind (bitcoin-qt) and my own wallet; that issue is I transferred just over 1/2 a bitcoin out and it got stuck. So after a week it according to my personal wallet started to get peers (3 of 6 now), yet on my node it still shows 0 confirmations. Anyhow even after putting my node back up and its been a few hours the miner on the bottom which is running from a different location is getting shares.

The difference here is that the two inside miners have been updated to cgminer 4.0.1 while the outside miner uses 3.9.0 I wonder if the 4.0.1 cgminer is causing the "no shares yet" issue, if it's an issue?

What do you think?

Thanks,

now your node shows 2 shares. considering your uptime it is ok. both shares are probably made by your miner 1JiWFoe6QaE7N6mv2HBkjr4izuDX3cqDQQ. little patience and i think all will be ok.
it can be that both miners made one share and because you have 50%fee one of the shares is going to your node wallet. as you can see your node is "earning" more than your miners.
as far i cold notice there is no differences which version cgminer you have, results are practically equal. my miner with 4.0.1 work fine and i don´t see any difference to miners with 3.9.0.
