I noticed that some nodes have fees. I was wondering how they set it up that way? I am not planning on adding a fee to my node I'm just curious.

Yeah right, looks like other pools are confirming these transactions:
http://blockchain.info/fr/unconfirmed-transactions

Currently that's 21MB worth of transactions which is at least 40 blocks with the default bitcoind settings (~500kB).

Down to slightly under 11MB, so it is coming down.

FWIW, adding this to the bottom of my bitcoind.conf fixed the massive recent latency issues.  Now, I'm not sure if this is the best-for-the-network settings, but it certainly fixed my latency.   I increased the relay fee minimum some, and I think most importantly I doubled the time it takes for txns to become high priority.  Of course, that part is only a temporary fix...

EDIT: This only helped for a couple hours.... Sad

blockprioritysize=500000
mintxfee     =0.0002
minrelaytxfee=0.0002

with 11.4 , 3.1.1 and 0.8.2

i'm getting 0.235s

my set
mintxfee=0.01
minrelaytxfee=0.005

much better than before(>2s with 0.8.1)

Has anyone running p2pool over Tor?

Updated Bitcoin client to 0.8.2

Not changed anything in conf limiting tx sizes and blocks etc and it's still climbing, better but it's climbing.



I didn't have these issues in 11.3, I'm not really interested in changing tx values or block sizes so I'm personally just waiting it out, or mining LTC which doesn't seem to have the same high lat problem in p2pool.

*Edit* I also just got a valid share even with the slightly higher lat.

ok then my question is , are my coins stored when i turn off p2pool?so i can restart from that point?

You do not lose anything by turning off p2pool, if you switch it on again straight away you will see your current payout for shares already submitted. It does not keep them forever though, see above. You will still get paid for any blocks found even while p2pool is off as well.
ok but where are, my delayed transactions, now that i use the new version(8.2) with better latency?
i ask this because when i switched to this new version my payout disappeared...

i have forgotten the 24 hours thing... substantially, i lost  the payouts because i stopped p2pool for more than 24 hours.....

I tried raising those two parameters in bitcoin.conf and it made absolutely no difference, in fact I had 10s latency from the outset whereas it usually takes several hours to get to 10s.

What version of Bitcoin are you running? Are you running 0.8.2rc1? Those settings only seemed to work for me after upgrading to that version.

Nice to get two payouts today though after a weekend of famine.

still no bitcoin from the last time i mined(3 days ago)

If you stopped mining 3 days ago and you are speaking of your p2pool rewards I don't see how it can be news.
so those share are lost?

"Lost" has no meaning here. A share doesn't pay anything by itself, only blocks create coins. The payout logic which distributes these coins depends on the pool.

I don't understand why people mine on any pool without understanding how/when they will be paid. That's not as if it's difficult to find this information for P2Pool, the wiki page is linked in the OP (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool).

Yes. PPLNS in P2pool is pyain for last 24hrs of mining. Up to 3 blocks per every share.

FWIW...

bitcoind - current git master (8.2.0) default (I changed nothing):

Code:
bitcoind getmininginfo
{
    "blocks" : 237053,
    "currentblocksize" : 249858,
    "currentblocktx" : 732,
    "difficulty" : 11187257.46136079,
    "errors" : "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "pooledtx" : 1710,
    "testnet" : false
}
Latency climbing up to around 2 seconds....

http://ask.gxsnmp.org/


2 seconds is not bad, people have seen 10+ seconds.

I have 0.13s with mintxfee and minrelaytxfee set to 0.001 with this result:
Code:
{
    "blocks" : 237057,
    "currentblocksize" : 99814,
    "currentblocktx" : 345,
    "difficulty" : 11187257.46136079,
    "errors" : "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications",
    "generate" : false,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "pooledtx" : 1221,
    "testnet" : false
}

I'll set these two to 0.002 next time I have the chance.

Yeah right, looks like other pools are confirming these transactions:
http://blockchain.info/fr/unconfirmed-transactions

Currently that's 21MB worth of transactions which is at least 40 blocks with the default bitcoind settings (~500kB).

Very useful link there. As a matter of interest, how big is the list of unconfirmed transactions normally?

I didn't check this value for quite some time.
But if the rate of transactions is below the network's capacity (around 500kB every 10 minutes currently, could potentially rise to 1MB every 10 minutes depending on how miners setup their bitcoind), this value should be below 500kB most of the time (assuming blockchain.info only includes valid tx in this number which is probably the case).
