NOw my hashrate is 400~550 MHs after restarting, and my address is nowhere to be found on Current Payouts or the Active users, it appears that my address just wanishes from the p2pool.info.... Payout, in p2pool, is still 0.0000..........
Exactly. It'll stay like that until you find another share.
OK! But why did my address keeps dissapearing from the list? It happened before I restarted p2pool and cgminer...? It works good and just suddenly goes poof without any obvoius reason from my side. I mean, I didn't touch anything on my PC, but my address simply dissapears?

The list only shows addresses that have found a share recently enough to be owed a payment in the next block.  If you go for a long time without finding a share (as will happen with a low hashrate), you will not be on the list.

Thank You!



I've set up my P2Pool node at http://cryptominer.org/bitcoin/ to be more friendly to low hash-rate miners like yourself by counting pseudo-shares with a much lower difficulty than p2pool itself accepts. If you decide to use it, you will get a smaller, more regular payment. The amount should average out over the long term but will be more consistant on a day-to-day basis.

So sexy, it hurts.
Hello again beautiful people  Cheesy

What is the best CGminer version for Litecoin and P2Pool?

We have the current P2Pool and are trying to tune our machines.

Is there a P2Pool dedicated thread that discusses this somewhere?

With the rise in difficulty of Bitcoin there is an opportunity for P2Pool to harness more GPU power for Litecoin.

We have switched our modest GPU farm to Litecoin recently and would like to use P2Pool, and not a commercial site.

Is there a dedicated thread for this somewhere?

Thanx Smiley

How can the website display a hashrate if it has no shares to base it off of? If you don't find a share for 3 days, you won't be in the sharechain again until you find another one.

Now it's happening all over again. In p2pool I have 0.000 BTC payout, allthough hashrate is between 700 and 1400 MHs, again, expected time to share 2,8 days, time to block 9.5 hours, again......... Help!
The only thing you can do is increase your hashrate.

I have a huge problem! Shocked I didn't recieve payments from last 2 found blocks!!! My miner is working constantly but the last payment is from 29.08.2013 after that nothing.... This is my BTC address 1HhnzLoam81FRcrjBJkGYVHoWduDwsqs6C

What's your hashrate?  Have you found any shares recently?

In cgminer accepted shares are normal, and it works good, in p2pool.exe I have 0 shares and 0.0000 payout... Ihave just restarted PC and started all over again, but, with the same result....

cgminer shares are not real p2pool shares.  They are psuedo shares to help you see that your miner is working.  All that matters for getting paid is finding real, p2pool shares (which are much higher difficulty).  You have found 0.  That means you don't get any payout in any blocks found.  You didn't answer the question about your hashrate, but if you look at the p2pool console output, it will also tell you the average amount of time to fine 1 share at your current hashrate.  My guess is that your hashrate is pretty low and that average time is very long.  

My hashrate varies from 700-1600 MHs, according to p2pool. And average time to find share is from 7-20 hours. Anyway now it is all OK since I am getting paid. Thanks!

Now it's happening all over again. In p2pool I have 0.000 BTC payout, allthough hashrate is between 700 and 1400 MHs, again, expected time to share 2,8 days, time to block 9.5 hours, again......... Help!

The problem really lies with the exchange/web wallet, not P2Pool... and according to Eligius, only Instawallet is broken.

So it's not a problem of P2Pool pools only, I didn't realize it.



Eligius and p2pool work very similarly.  Generate "Mined" transactions, using your address as username, etc.

I sussed it. Not sure how, but I did. After reinstalling the OS twice, reformatting ssd's, aligning ssd's, reinstalling programs & dependences multiple times, re-indexing data and everything else I can't think of - and still getting nowhere - I changed the permissions on my mountpoint for the ssd. Bang. There it is. I don't know WTF caused this to happen, and I'm still not sure weather to laugh or cry, but it's all working as it was again  Grin

2 days - 2 bloody days!!  Shocked      Time for a spliff   Grin

Good skills. Smiley  I got p2pool running in a VM on Linux (Ubuntu 13.04 Server).  It took just over 28 hours for bitcoind to download the blockchain.  Shocked  Only to discover the machine I'm running the VM on is too damned slow to run p2pool properly. 

So, at least it's now a VHDX that I can just bung on a faster machine running Hyper-V...

However, a warning about which specific ones are broken could of course help people, so I'm not opposed to it. Know of any that are broken besides "ltcinstawallet.com"?

No, I'm sorry, but I can test any LTC online wallet you like.
Instawallet seems down at the moment.


EDIT: I could test any BTC online or exchange wallet, too, but with only a 5 Mh/s GPU I don't think it's a good idea. Embarrassed

Hi all,
I'm a newbie in the BTC/LTC world and I recently found the hard way that exchange and online wallets are not compatible with the type of payout transactions generated by a P2Pool pool (please correct me if I'm wrong or explain why if I'm right).
I am very surprised that such an important information it's not printed in bold in the official P2Pool wiki.
I cannot edit that page because it's protected but perhaps someone reading this thread has the powers to do so… Smiley

Has anyone able to use Erupter Blade with p2pool?

I have tried the following setup

p2pool -- Stratum Proxy -- BE Blade

But when I set it up in this way, blade does not receiver any work. It just sits ideal.

p2pool -- BE Blade

 I get worker share hash > target error.

WANTED: Active dev to fix & re-write p2pool in C
Hey guys - looking for a bit of advice here. Just done a complete reinstall Xubuntu 12.04 after my SSD conked out. While doing so, I decided to move my wallet data to a separate SSD in an effort to reduce strain/latency/wear on the main system SSD. When I start my *coind's (merged mining) everything syncs up fine, but when I start the p2pool program it fails to load any shares, starts going straight to work & spits out py errors about still downloading shares. All my config files are exactly the same as before so I'm wondering if I need a different setting for p2pool because the data files are on a separate drive? I start my *coind's with the added command:

-datadir=/path/to/data  -  everything works there, is there something I need to add to the p2pool startup command as well?

This is the first time I've had my wallet data on a separate drive, and the first time I've had any problems with my configuration not working. All dependencies/packages are installed/checked/double checked. Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated  Wink

EDIT: I'm sure it's a basic, simple mistake I've made - I just can't see it....... Roll Eyes

EDIT1:  Or, am I the only person using a separate drive for their wallet data on p2pool.......and this is a bug?

OK, nothing doing here - I'll ask around instead.......

Maybe you might have to also specify where your conf file is?
