Can those of you use have set maxconnections on bitcoin.conf and added the --max-conns and --out-going give me some idea what you used and what your bandwidth (up and download speed) is?

This would give me some idea of what range I should be in on my own node for my bandwidth.

Thanks

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place to announce this, but since it's a new p2pool node I thought it might be a good place.

I've recently launched a bitcoin mining p2pool node in Panama, Central America, that pays bonus devcoins.

http://www.blisterpool.com

1% pool fee, using PPLNS (of course)
register bitcoin/devcoin address pair on site
connect with bitcoin address
auto-paid bitcoins and merge mined devcoins to the address pair, along with a 0.2% devcoin bonus
It also pays a 0.2% bonus to open source developers on the bitcoin and devcoin share lists.

I love the front-end you did with the exception of the status page which is obviously the extended front-end. You should stick a miner on your node/pool so that it doesn't look bare. Smiley

Watch out for the "Neg-Rep-Dogie-Police".....
Just curious, but why do you need to down load p2pool software to join the pool?

You don't have to, you can connect to any public node if you don't want to set up your own node  Wink

With P2pool, you're joining a larger pool, at 185TH currently. If you start an MPOS pool, you'll be starting at 0TH.

Wait, are you saying that MPOS is a solo mining app server?



its a pool but not p2pool

This might be completely off topic, but have you P2Pool owners tried MPOS and can tell me the pros and cons of setting up MPOS as a second server as supposed to P2Pool?

Thanks,

hello all,

what does the --address or -n feature in p2pool does?
for what is it good?

Without it it will mine to an address from bitcoind. Usually you want to mine into another wallet

thank you, i ve asked the wrong question :-) i meant the --p2pool-node feature or -n.
you connect to another node i think, but for wich purpose?

That's so you can specify a peer connection to another node you trust.  Typically if you know certain public nodes are always up-to-date and run continuously, you can directly connect to them on top of the random connections.  Some people also use them when they're setting up multiple of their own nodes across CDN or Colocation providers to make sure they're nodes are always connected to each other.

^^^ what bitpop said...

so when you're merge mining, Bitcoin will be pool mined and any merged coins will be solo mined.  You'll see the occasional "Got new merged mining work!" in the commandline display and any found block rewards will show up in the various coin's wallets.

Otherwise I guess the coins have to be setup on different servers, same hardware, different ports?



You would use a merged proxy in that case

Be aware it's solo and people using your pool will help you get alt coins, they can't get any. I like it as a free fee

They don't. You are blindly solo mining.

Does P2pool support multiple pools? Can run litecoin and bitcoin on the same server do or I need to run two separate P2Pool servers?



You can run them on the same hardware, but you have to run them seperately.  ie. 2 processes each in it's own window from 2 different folders.  Also , make sure you don't have any port conflicts.

So basically they can't run from the same server, I would have to create a P2Pool2 folder and install P2Pool into it to run Litecoin say, and P2Pool3 to run Doge coin, etc.?

Correct. You can however merged mine nmc, etc

Sorry what's merge mining?



Merged mining allows you to compare mining results with multiple parallel blockchains that are compatible, so essentially mining two coins for each set of work.

You can only merge mine with additional compatible coins made for merged mining like Namecoin with Bitcoin.  You can't merge mine Litecoin with Bitcoin.

Some helpful threads:
Merged mining in general: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merged-mining-how-does-it-really-work-131623

Merged Mining with p2pool: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-complete-guide-to-p2pool-merged-mining-btcnmcdvcixci0c-plus-ltc-linux-62842



So if i do merge mining with P2Pool how do the stats show up on the front-end for the other coins?

Not exactly - you can run fwo instances of p2pool Bitcoin+merged mining and p2pool Litecoin from same folder, I am running them like this, no problems.
