Yes that's exactly the procedure in the readme if I remember correctly.

Thanks

Anyone see any problem running and updating 11.4 along side my working 11.3 node while it verifies all the shares?

I seem to recall this being asked a few pages back but can't seem to find it so might have dreamt it.

The output says it can't bind to the p2p port or worker port so my current mining, website stats, graphs etc are unaffected but it's verifying shares so thought could this work?



Just wanted to know If this is ok before I assume anything.

Some kind of DOS attack?

Got three "GOT INCOMPLETE BLOCK FROM PEER" messages and then p2pool stopped. Peer IP is 192.203.228.65

Now just got another one.

What do you mean by "p2pool stopped"?

Miner got disconnected, p2pool not doing anything apparently though since a fourth message came up, it looks like it was not completely dead. I did a simple restart of the process and things seem fine so far. I guess I waited about 5 minutes before restarting it (did not have to reboot).

Is this you by any chance?

That particular peer is having a lot of trouble:

$ grep 'Lost peer' log | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
 168 74.100.64.248
   5 123.159.6.63
   2 216.153.20.29
.. nothing else more than one..

The #2 on the list is doing things like this:

2013-04-29 08:50:54.110763 Connection timed out, disconnecting from 123.159.6.63:54137

Are either of those two yours?


No. But see PM.

Mine's been acting funny the last 24 hours too.  I should be between .25 and .30 per block, been below .20 the last 5.

forrestv: you may want to update the subject of the thread, the pool seems to stabilize at more than 650GH/s now.
Good point. Used 700GH/s, as it is now Smiley

So I tried the current version of p2pool on a single 5.7GHz Jalapeño with cgminer connecting via stratum. This works out to about 80 diff1 shares per minute. It "works" in a sense of the word, without causing any weird errors or duplicating work that happen with the Avalon but there are huge lags between share submission and responses from p2pool after a while. Watching the CPU usage, I see a spike to 100% of one core whenever a block of transactions comes in and that coincides with the lag to respond to share submission, leading to more stale rejects if that occurs at the wrong time. The CPU in question is a 12 thread 3.4GHz CPU so it is clearly not underpowered. I suspect what happens on the Avalon is simply a grossly exaggerated form of this leading to misbehaviour.

the same thing happens with GPUs while using cgminer (not a cgminer problem, but stratum I would think)

i think i commented on that some months ago

minerd picks up the new work much quicker, and it is better to use phoenix for p2pool, or not use stratum
Yes using getwork with the jalapeño is actually better than using stratum, which is counter-intuitive and adds weight to the argument that there is a problem with p2pool's stratum implementation. Having said that, if forrestv can get one as a donation from BFL, that will benefit everyone because I'm sure there will be incentive on his part to investigate and develop further. Many people have approached me about rewriting p2pool from scratch in c, and as much fun as that sounds, I seriously don't have the time to support another project of this magnitude and would rather see the original author continue it.

You know, funny you should say that.  I was considering doing the same thing ... rewriting in C.  It would be quite a project indeed.

Does a username like ckolivas/2000+10 help?

no, because you'd still get the 6 new works every minute

the ratio of rejects to accepts would be the same

though, it would be nice if everyone over 5ghash or so did 2000 shares,  so people at lower rates may actually get something at some point
