With the share difficulty bouncing between 450000 - 500000 lately, and with the local luck the last few days, I've been having problems getting a share within the 24 hour window needed to keep payouts above 0. I've got 20+Ghs going and I used to get 0.025 per block a few weeks ago, but now I'm struggling for the past week to get 0.005 per block and it has mostly been 0 even with 7 shares and 120% efficiency during the last week. So even if luck for Blocks has been great over the last week, the share count has made running my local P2Pool node insolvent. Anyone else seeing the same?

It's stuff like this more than a pretty interface or easy setup that will push people like me to go back to centralized pools. So for now, until I can grab more horsepower and try again (I have 100+Ghs Drillbit Bitfury boards waiting for repair), I'm bowing out of P2Pool and going back to BTC Guild. Love the concept and it was going great for awhile, but it looks like only the big boys can play in the P2Pool anymore.

Insolvent? Your p2pool node has debts?

I'm running around 7 Ghash/sec on p2pool. Some days I don't have an active share, and I get nothing. Other days, I do have an active share, and I get paid for blocks. It all evens out.

Stupid old man here... no idea what I am doing with ASIC mining.

I have been doing Scrypt mining and have no clue how to get this P2Pool working, but I am expecting to receive an ASIC Miner Cube soon and I will likely need help setting it up. Paying .01btc and the first 24 hours of mining profits will be directed to a Bitcoin address of your choosing if you helping me set up the Cube and get it running properly at 35GH/s or higher. PM me for more details.

You might want to consider that you'll need to run a Stratum proxy on the machine you use, unless the boards or controller in the ASIC Miner Cubes are different to the original ASIC Miner devices. So your software setup will be a little more customised than the standard p2pool arrangement.

Perhaps this guide could be of use to you?

To be honest, I have read it a few times and I understand some of it, but I still think it is going to take me like a week or two to set it up. That is not acceptable lol

Block 273640 is interesting. 45.2 BTC, courtesy of an overpaid (20.14628295 BTC) fee. I wonder if BitMillions.com want their fees back? Surely this wasn't intended.

any way of running p2pool without full node?

using only standalone lan-connected miners

You can connect to any public p2pool node - here's a list:

http://p2pool-nodes.info/

When I ran P2Pool in the past, my IP showed up on that page. I started my node up again a little over a week ago, and I see that I no longer show up there. Anyone have any idea why? I can access it from outside my network, so I know it's publicly visible, and I really haven't changed anything at all since the time when it did show up.

I had some nodes up that never showed up on there either. I don't believe nogleg.net ever appeared even though it was up for a good 3 or 4 weeks. Maybe someone has to mine at it and find an actual share for it to appear? not sure if that's the case w/ yours, but I know there were 0 shares on nogleg.net

My node has been up for 10.2 days and currently has found 374 shares, so that's not it.

there are other ways to donate to forrestv, some donate hardware, some make a lump donation - they don't want to pay a fee every share, necessarily. zvs used to have his default account be forrestv's donation address so any misconfigured miners just donated to him (and i think he put a donation % in addition to that)

I also sent a few lump sum amounts to 1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4, they show up in the taint, hah

https://blockchain.info/taint/1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4

all in an attempt to try to get ppl to mine there with 0% fees. it was a fun project for a while, I guess.... better when I could actually mine on it myself. I'm messing with some CPU coins now.

Did you find out if the cubes worked with p2pool dogie/Exidous? I hope they do - I've got 2 on the way......

Nope, guess nobody knows for sure. I guess we will find out when we get them connected. Hoping for less than %30 reject rate!

Does anyone know if the block erupter cube will work with p2pool since it has LP support? I know the blades loose about 30% efficiency on p2pool because they don't support LP. Has anyone tried use a cube on p2pool yet?

what is the meaning of choosing an amount to donate ? why cant it be same to all. i dont think 2 is too much, but theres some who pays nothing. i think you who ever you are forrestintv put it 1.5 for all. thats fair.

or put it 3 if you want, because this is very good pool - you can afford to do so.

there are other ways to donate to forrestv, some donate hardware, some make a lump donation - they don't want to pay a fee every share, necessarily. zvs used to have his default account be forrestv's donation address so any misconfigured miners just donated to him (and i think he put a donation % in addition to that)

others are just cheap and want to freeload.

in the end it's good "marketing" to say it's the theoretically best pool you can participate in, and any "fee" you pay is voluntary
