Hi everyone, I just have a question whether these latest issues may have affected payouts at all or if I just didn't p2pool long enough?
I managed to set up p2pool and bitcoin-qt server node on my local pc and it all connected and synchronized, but I couldn't connect to it with my miner, so after enough head-scratching I needed to get hashing again and tried a couple of public nodes and mined for approx 40hrs at around 180GH/s, mostly at
http://196.2.147.115:9332 [16dAGWVSbxT3Zek84FuUMQGccfdyih8KrK] (that node eventually gave out) and
http://78.27.191.182:8349 [1Ky5rbwSGVXvBQuqa7d7d49TnVmcM5Kaq2] among others, but I've received no payment at all and I'm sure at least one block was found during that time.
I did jump around a bit while looking for the closest node with the lowest latency and shortest ping so that could have affected things.
Does anyone know why I received nothing at all for the time I spent? Was I just not on long enough?
Thanks for any clarification in advance!
1. if you have setup P2Pool using the defaults port 9332 is used for Bitcoin mining.
2. you have to be vigilant as there will be days where you see no payouts and other days were you see a lot of payouts; what I saying is P2Pool payout system doesn't work the same way as these fee based systems do.
3. make sure you open port 9333 on your firewall/router to your P2Pool server.
4. If your miners are on the same network as your server, use your internal address. Most firewall/routers don't permit you to go outside only to route back through.
