OK, I've noticed that autobahn-0.7.4-py2.7.egg is in the same path as slush's stratum proxy, so I'm presuming it was installed when I built that from git - which makes sense as that is what I last installed as I was trying to get it to work with p2pool (failing, of course). Do you think it is causing conflicts with p2pool? I don't want to uninstall the stratum proxy as I use it......maybe that's why it doesn't work with p2pool? I dunno.......

Thanks.

OK, am I to presume that nobody on the p2pool thread knows what this means either? Surely someone must have knowledge of the p2pool workings on the p2pool thread....... Huh  Any devs out there?  Why is everyone so quiet all of a sudden?
Good question, I don't know where the guru's are?
I'm having some memoryleak issue's with running a public p2pool. Would love to see some help to tackle this but no reactions.
I guess these kind of problems are hard to solve. So you'll have to wait patiently or try to fix it yourself.

Well, seems I'm not the only one here who can't get any answers to p2pool questions. I'd fix it myself if I knew what the problem was of course, but I don't, that's why I came here. Seems p2pool has become abandonware.....I'll try elsewhere instead then. Hope you all have better luck than me in getting some help for your problems  Wink

I think I know now why p2pool is not attracting new users though........ Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

AH!! Hello forrestv,

Well, I said it "seems" to be working fine, but I wasn't sure - and as it had only just started happening I wanted to make sure, so thanks anyway. I presume I should remove it with apt-get then autoremove?

Thanks.

EDIT: It's not that, tried sudo apt-get remove python-autobahn & it's not installed apparently - any other suggestions would be appreciated......

Mr. Jinx, occasional memory leaks have plagued P2Pool nodes for a while. Python/Twisted makes it pretty easy to leave a reference to something or leave a task running in the background... several of them have been patched, though.

Try looking through P2Pool's log file for lines that contain a ">" character, which indicates an uncaught exception/traceback. A task dying that periodically removes old shares was the cause of a previous memory leak; maybe this is something similar.

I've been having problems with my p2pool.  Every hour or two, for some reason, it crashes.  I was able to capture the log from my latest crash.  Anyone know what's going on or how to fix it?  Thanks in advance.

Hey guys I have having trouble with my bitcoin-qt on my P2Pool server. I started the transfer process of 0.5 BTC but it looks like its gotten stuck. It has been showing 0 confirms for the last couple of days. So I looked on Google and someone mentions running getrawtransaction and sendrawtransaction which helps get it moving accept I don't know how to do this in the linux world. Sad

Any suggestions?

Yeah if ESXi was having a problem I would have been sent a PRTG alert and my other guests would also be complaining, but they aren't. Smiley The CPU on my P2Pool barely goes over 270Mhz even though it has 5.3Ghz to play with.

5.3GHz?! What the heck kind of CPU are you running on that monster? Or are you adding up the speeds of multiple cores/processors?

I have an IBM System x3400 M3 with two 6 core Xeon CPUs.

I am not adding anything, this is what ESXi tells me under the performance tab for my P2Pool server. If you must know I gave it 1 CPU 2 cores.

Good question, I don't know where the guru's are?
I'm having some memoryleak issue's with running a public p2pool. Would love to see some help to tackle this but no reactions.
I guess these kind of problems are hard to solve. So you'll have to wait patiently or try to fix it yourself.

If you are having leaky memory problems and can quantify it I recommend you post an issue at: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool and see if Forrestv can fix the issue.

Time for a reboot/purge/reinstall?

I noticed that somehow 2 p2pool instances were running on my VPS for the past week (I think one of the auto-check scripts flubbed) so I just rebooted the VPS. Though my shares found rate was still ok considering...

VPS?
A VPS is a virtual private server -- roughly equivalent to a shared hosting account, but emulating a dedicated server with root access (or equivalent) instead of just a Web site. Typically these offers come with significant "fair use" restrictions to make sure no one customer totally overloads or monopolizes the physical resources, starving the other VPS's hosted on that machine.

I've actually been having the opposite problem from oldbushie.  On my VPS, I've installed a monitoring utility (monit).  For some reason, monit determines that p2pool and bitcoind aren't running (the email explicitly says the trigger is that the process isn't running, not that one of the other trigger conditions is met), about once an hour, and promptly proceeds to kill and restart the existing sessions.  This is surprising, since both ran just fine for days before I installed monit.  My guess is I configured monit wrong.  If anyone has experience debugging monit scripts or settings, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Code:
    check process bitcoind with pidfile "/home/USER/.bitcoin/bitcoind.pid"
        start program "/usr/bin/bitcoind -datadir=/home/USER/.bitcoin -daemon"
                as uid USER and gid USER
        stop program "/usr/bin/pkill bitcoind"
                as uid USER and gid USER
        if failed port 8332 for 3 cycles then restart
        if cpu > 60% for 4 cycles then restart
        if cpu > 80% for 2 cycles then alert
        if 2 restarts within 10 cycles then alert

    check process p2pool
        matching "p2pool"
        start program = "/usr/bin/python /home/USER/p2pool/run_p2pool.py --address 1F2jgm72pw7VH9GKFMgHTqqUhxXSptADkV --fee 1 --give-author 1"

WANTED: Active dev to fix & re-write p2pool in C
I noticed this has started appearing when I start p2pool after doing some compiling on my node:

"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zope/__init__.py:3: UserWarning: Module twisted was already imported from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted/__init__.pyc, but /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autobahn-0.7.4-py2.7.egg is being added to sys.path"

It appears right at the start before p2pool does it's thing - but everything seems to be working OK with no errors. Have I accidentally added something I don't need - and should I get rid of it?

Thanks.

Anyone?

This thread goes awfully quiet when there's a lean streak....... Cheesy

I'm having a few issues sometimes when I try to create a new p2pool for various altcoins. Some altcoins work perfectly when I simply follow the instructions from this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/p2pool-detailed-settings-for-altcoins-457574

Sometimes when I follow the exact same instructions for another altcoin. example a new coin called entropycoin [ENC] - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-entropycoin-enc-scrypt-n-482284

my /p2pool/bitcoin/networks.py:

Code:
entropycoin=math.Object(
        P2P_PREFIX='fbc0b6db'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=7553,
        ADDRESS_VERSION=33,
        RPC_PORT=7552,
        RPC_CHECK=defer.inlineCallbacks(lambda bitcoind: defer.returnValue(
            'entropycoinaddress' in (yield bitcoind.rpc_help()) and
            not (yield bitcoind.rpc_getinfo())['testnet']
        )),
        SUBSIDY_FUNC=lambda height: 96*100000000,
        POW_FUNC=lambda data: pack.IntType(256).unpack(__import__('ltc_scrypt').getPoWHash(data)),
        BLOCK_PERIOD=60, # s
        SYMBOL='ENC',
        CONF_FILE_FUNC=lambda: os.path.join(os.path.join(os.environ['APPDATA'], 'Litecoin') if platform.system() == 'Windows' else os.pa$
        BLOCK_EXPLORER_URL_PREFIX='http://explorer.litecoin.net/block/',
        ADDRESS_EXPLORER_URL_PREFIX='http://explorer.litecoin.net/address/',
        SANE_TARGET_RANGE=(2**256//1000000000 - 1, 2**256//1000 - 1),
        DUMB_SCRYPT_DIFF=2**16,

my /p2pool/networks.py
Code:
entropycoin=math.Object(
        PARENT=networks.nets['entropycoin'],
        SHARE_PERIOD=10, # seconds
        CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=200, # shares
        SPREAD=12, # blocks
        IDENTIFIER='e037d5b8c6923410'.decode('hex'),
        PREFIX='7208c1a53ef629b0'.decode('hex'),
        P2P_PORT=9499,
        MIN_TARGET=0,
        MAX_TARGET=2**256//2**20 - 1,
        PERSIST=True,
        WORKER_PORT=9500,
        BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS='127.0.0.1:7552'.split(' '),
        ANNOUNCE_CHANNEL='#p2pool-alt',
        VERSION_CHECK=lambda v: True,

But then I get stuck at:
Code:
Testing bitcoind RPC connection to 'http://127.0.0.1:7552/' with username 'entropycoinserver'...
2014-02-23 01:30:34.833511     ...success!
2014-02-23 01:30:34.833654     Current block hash: ba3d2c0e1c9361ce647203aeeefeccd9ec8ae47bdb4d1ed8951e60b8d1c6c9b9
2014-02-23 01:30:34.833720     Current block height: 489
2014-02-23 01:30:34.833792
2014-02-23 01:30:34.833891 Testing bitcoind P2P connection to '127.0.0.1:7553'...

This confuses me, because I've done the same thing for many other coins. Eg Dnotes, and rabbitcoin worked perfectly well.
Entropycoin, for example give me this error.
Gamerscoin gave me this error too.
 I've had the same problem with a few other coins. Anyone got any ideas?

Time for a reboot/purge/reinstall?

I noticed that somehow 2 p2pool instances were running on my VPS for the past week (I think one of the auto-check scripts flubbed) so I just rebooted the VPS. Though my shares found rate was still ok considering...

VPS?

The luck on BtC has been terrible the last 3 days, I have found zero blocks. Sad

Very bad over the past five days. Nothing for 3 days and the one before that was 2 days (should be one per day on average).

All I am seeing now is this in my P2Pool btcp2pool console.
