wow, the hashrate now is over 900Gh/s!

witout increase of DOA....

Whre comes it from 

Probably some more ASIC's coming on line.. Difficulty is up though.. Though it looks like that may be slowing down as well. Luck on BTCGuild - Average luck this difficulty is 75.73%. So block generation has slowed.

Is it normal for a node with 2GH/s?
No. You just step on memory leak. Git pull and restart node.
Updated and restarted, looks better now: 300 MB of memory used.
Does it increases with the hashrate or not?

I can understand that shares decrease in value as the total number of shares in the block increases (hence the overall downward sloping of the flat regions). But what explains the jumps up and down? I only have one orphan, and 9 valid shares in this block... (two found during the time plotted there).

Payout system in the pool is PPLNS, which stands for pay per last N shares. Jumps down occur when one of your shares becomes so old that it is excluded from those "last N shares". Thus, not every share is actually paid. However, this works both ways! When a block is found, your payout will not drop to zero but remain the same, so you may eventually get paid several times (from several blocks) for the same share!

Could someone who has AM blades grab one and mine on 78.27.191.182, ports 8353 and 8354, for about 5 minutes on each please.

First one is p2pool node worker port, second is getwork port of stratum mining proxy, which itself is directed to the same node.
I am trying to debug with some tweaks.

Thanks!

When was the last time that P2Pool found a block? Sad

the shares are only valid in the sharechain for 24 hours, the p2pool share count doesn't deduct those ones. The graph shown does. If it's any consolation, 2 days is a very short sample period. p2pool exposes you to more of the statistical variation than any other pool, but that works out in the long term, and most people are mining long term now.

Why does this happen?



After two days I have 10 shares and 1 orphan and 2.4% DOA? Am I doing something wrong?
I think it's just variance. If you don't find shares for a long time, your current payout starts decreasing (as your older shares become outdated).

I can understand that shares decrease in value as the total number of shares in the block increases (hence the overall downward sloping of the flat regions). But what explains the jumps up and down? I only have one orphan, and 9 valid shares in this block... (two found during the time plotted there). The jumps up only correspond with one found share... (the orphan was before the start of the plot).

Or are the big jumps down because someone found a very high value share?

p2pool --debug log:
http://justpaste.it/2yes

tcpdump.log (900 KB archive):
http://ulozto.net/xETQiV4M/tcpdump2-log-7z

miner output: as last time, everything seems to be fine.

Seems like blade software is doing it wrong. From tcp log it is clear that yes, it really submits shares above given target. And yes, p2pool gives it target of ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff00000000 (i guess it's maximum pseudoshare target). Try again with setting your difficulty manually to say, /1+10.

P.S. With current 'newshare' version it will not accept e.g. "user/1" or "user+10". Must connect with "user/1+10", "user/1+" or "user/+10". Or just delete this weird assertion at line 140 of p2pool/work.py. Generally, recent updates seem very raw and untested, so I'm still using the old 11.4 version.

P.P.S. As far as I can see, 'newshare' is a kind of experimental branch, so we should use 'master'!

Block Erupter Blade support for p2pool - Bounty
Current bounty: 5 BTC

I would like to make ASIC Block Erupter Blades 13GH/s working with p2pool. ASICs support for p2pool is very important for p2pool survival.
I am giving 5 BTC bounty for developer who will make them working on p2pool. Bounty will be paid to developer or split between group of developers who will contribute to solving the problem.
If you guys have BE Blades too, please let me know. I can arrange escrow via John K. (or I can collect funds directly, I am trusted forum member, please check my OTC), once we gather more funds maybe one of our developers will be interested to look closer to this problem.
I myself can donate my Blade worktime for a developer to make debug and testing, please let me know.
PM me if you a developer and you would like to get access to my BE Blade and to my Linux server for debug purposes. Please help:)
PM me if you a BE Blade user and you d'love to see your blades hashing on p2pool to - let's gather more BTC for our honest developers.

Regards
Lenny


Have you tried it?  What kind of stats are you getting?

I'm running 10 AM USB sticks on p2pool and getting over 100% efficiency.

so we know asicminer chips can work with p2pool - it just need better software Wink usb sticks works bcoz they are using cgminer or bfgminer. On blade you cant use those programs Sad. Maybe cgminer devs can make they own stratum proxy build in cgminer so blades can be seen in cgminer program ? Tongue that would be awesome

Hanti, I know you have some BE Blades and you selling your hashpower to other people. As you are professional miner, what about donating some BTC to our bounty? I already put 5 BTC as a reward for developer's efforts.

Is there anyone else willing to help?Smiley

Note that with --debug p2pool is not working, just error during startup and traceback, you can see it in log. log contains multiple tries of starting p2pool, last one is successfull without --debug option and contains log from mining on Blade.

Oh, sure, I also had this error. To fix it, I changed file p2pool/data.py from this
Code:
            for peer_addr, hash, ts, targ in desired:
                print '   ', '%s:%i' % peer_addr, format_hash(hash), math.format_dt(time.time() - ts), bitcoin_data.target_to_difficulty(targ), ts >= timestamp_cutoff, targ <= target_cutoff
to this:
Code:
            for peer_addr, hash, ts, targ in desired:
                try:
                    print '   ', '%s:%i' % peer_addr, format_hash(hash), math.format_dt(time.time() - ts), bitcoin_data.target_to_difficulty(targ), ts >= timestamp_cutoff, targ <= target_cutoff
                except:
                    pass

Now I can run it with --debug

Could you please run it with direct getwork connection (without stratum proxy) for a couple of minutes and log tcp data. When mining run
Code:
sudo tcpdump -X -i any '(tcp port xxxx)' | tee tcpdump.log
where xxxx is your getwork port and post the log along with p2pool and miner log (if any). I'll take a look.

P.S. And essentially run p2pool with "--debug".
