what's up with my node displaying much higher pool hashrates than p2pool.info?

for example right now my node says 6.07TH/s and p2pool.info reads closer to 5.2TH/s

I think p2pool.info is referencing nodes on another fork.

I just got my little single. It arrived a little less than half an hour ago, it literally took me about 5 minutes to set it up and get it mining on p2pool. Admittedly I've been reading this thread, and the cgminer thread for a long while, and had already downloaded the latest p2pool, cgminer and zadig, and had been mining on p2pool with my GPUs for a while. But really, you guys have made this incredibly easy. Thanks so much everyone for all of your hard work! I'll be donating some btc your way once I've mined some. Who all should I donate to, forrestv, kano, ckolivas, anyone else?

So far everything is looking good. I'm getting right at 30GH give or take a GH, temp is 56-57C. It was a little hotter and a little louder but I took the grates off of the fans like other people had said on the BFL forums, and that made it a little less whiny (if not quieter) and a couple of degrees cooler.

Anyway thanks again everyone!

Yeah, for real, can someone point me to a link that can help me merge mine Namecoin on our p2p pool node?

Talk nerdy to me.

Thank you.

Just add this to the end of your p2pool command line (replacing username, password and 7333 with your namecoind user/pass and RPC port):

Code:

--merged http://username:[email protected]:7333/

Not particularly hard Wink

Everything seems to work OK, but I don't know what this error means. Only started yesterday.

Are you getting shares or lots of rejects (in the miner software) I switched to cgminer 3.3.3 and started seeing these and every thing was being rejected. Switched back to cgminer 3.3.1 and all was well again.

I don't think it was anything to do with miners - I had nothing mining on the node at the time. Besides, I use bfgminer. Rejects and stales were at zero, as usual for my node.

Restarting both p2pool and bitcoind seems to have fixed the problem.

I love P2Pool and having been running it for a while but I have a pretty marginal rig at around 700MH/s and with the latest hike in difficulty I'm just not getting any shares any more. I'm sure I will at some point but knowing my luck that will happen with P2Pool to fails to find a block and so all that hashing effort will be wasted.

Is it possible to lower the share difficulty so smaller miners are still getting regular shares albeit smaller ones ? I'm assuming that would be a fundamental change to the P2Pool source that will be incompatible with other P2Pool nodes out there ? If so, would it be possible to create a fork, say EasierP2Pool and recruit enough participants ?

Thanks

At 700MH/s, your best bet is to retire or go to another pool like BTC Guild. I'm at about 7.5GH/s and my estimated time to share is 2.9 hours. You're looking at around 31 hours per share, and with variance, there will be days when you don't get a share at all.

From the wiki:

Quote

Unlike Bitcoin, nodes do not know the entire chain - instead they only hold the last 8640 shares (the last day's worth). In order to prevent an attacker from working on a chain in secret and then releasing it, overriding the existing chain, chains are judged by how much work they have since a point in the past. To ascertain that the work has been done since that point, nodes look at the Bitcoin blocks that the shares reference, establishing a provable timestamp. (If a share points to a block, it was definitely made after that block was made.)

What is the "point in the past"?

When the pool finds a block, it adds a marker into the bitcoin chain?

Quote

Yes, you're mining on the assumption that the pool is not going to disappear while your shares are valid. I'm not sure exactly what you mean with the second question, but the sharechain is persisted to disk, so when you restart your node, it only has to download shares since it was stopped.

I was thinking about what would happen if you mined on the wrong chain.

Does the pool immediately mine on the sharechain or wait until a few bitcoin blocks have passed?

In fact, what makes a head/tail "verified"?

Try a version of cgminer from this decade, too.

He can't, he has Cairnsmore1's and I've not got one to make a proper USB driver for them ... though he probably could update to 3.1.1

I wrote the necessary Cairnsmore1 code for the Icarus driver before, that he is using (for no real reason actually and Yohan never gave a damn about that either) but to do it in USB will require the hardware.
They've used an 8 endpoint chip (unlike any other device has used) so I'd need the hardware to get the code right and do a new type of driver for that.

Also, supporting it is a right PITA when I don't have the hardware myself coz I can't ever see if I've managed to screw it up every time I make a related change elsewhere.

At the moment, ckolivas has an Avalon, and I have a BitBurner, so that means we have to get the other to test related changes each time.
Not a big deal, but at least we have incentive (having each our selves) and it's easy to get the other to test changes that we do for our own hardware.

... and I'm not really all that interested in spending all the time necessary to do that with no reason at all for me to do it either.

We've had this problem twice already with the ztex, nelisky dropped doing support and it fell by the wayside, then dennisx took it over.
However he's not been around at all recently when people have asked about possible problems, enhancements or help with it.

Except, +96 wont make any difference to the shares found - just the fake shares found that don't count for anything.
(and +96 vs +4 will reduce the network usage by not bothering to send 24 times as many useless shares Tongue

)
So that change will be just window dressing
