it's normal, that the hashrate in p2pool(not in cgminer) is dancer?
Sure. If your miners dont submit shares to pool - it decreases your hashrate. Just ignore it if only it doesn't drop significantly.

ok, tnx

another problem here
p2pool 3.1 keep asking me about getting new bitcoin version , greater than 0.5, but i own already the 0.8.1, why this error?

You are solo mining the merged coins, they are not pooled.
If the difficulty is high, like for nmc, you will have to wait quite some time. Like months.
Ok, I see. I expected something like that Smiley Thank you for clarification.

If you got messages like that:
Code:
Got new merged mining work!

That's mean everything is fine!  Smiley

Why would you use a pool in a client?

p2pool work with the original client


P2Pool needs the entire copy of the blockchain to work, so it's not so much that it works with the original client, as that the original client is the only one that comes with a copy of the blockchain.

Make sure something isn't eating up your bandwidth. I had trouble until I worked out that bitcoind was munching on mine (though I also turned off QOS which I haven't turned back on yet).
What have you done with Bitcoind?

I just stopped it and restarted it. Whoever was connected must have connected to someone else. Either it hasn't been an issue since or when it has been, I haven't noticed it.

Longer term, I need to turn my QOS back on and put p2pool up in the priorities and bitcoind down (probably down in the crawl category). Though it's possibly I'm going to upgrade my internet before then anyway.

when it's 5MB/s + it's always a block (*well, usually.  sometimes it's just a bunch of transactions being sent at once.  better - when it spikes to > 20MB/s)

157GB in *30 days is not much.. do you have caps or something?

mines not as high atm but still ticking along.

No caps, I do have to turn the pool off once every other day, could that affect it?

Blimey so can go higher. I'll keep an eye and let you know.

Just checked and I've got screenshots of 6 outgoing 12 incoming, and others for 5, 2 and 1,
Incoming peers are other nodes of the p2pool network AFAIK.

I also had set the --max conns at 20 myself on 11.2 and maxconnection=20 in Bitcoin.conf because my upload speed was being completely saturated sometimes of the day when bitcoind would connect to 50+ peers,
I posted a pic of how much bandwidth I had used daily since starting P2Pool and Bitcoind in server mode randomly,
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1790993
I have not set it currently.

This is the first time I have not seen incoming nodes after about 24 hours of the node being up.

Thanks for the advice.

I have restarted the router as I have seen some errors in the routers logs and restarted all the nodes and miners anyway.

I'll see what happens.

*edit*

Thought I would see how much more bandwidth I had used.

Do you know how to fix 'unknown' version issue, so it can be set up properly doing compilation? Without manual modifications? Or maybe we can suggest it to forrestv.
I`m doing it manually in setup.py
Code:
version = __import__('p2pool').__version__ 
to
Code:
version = "9.0-7-g738af95"
As for current git ofc Smiley
I`m first update my linux node to see current version number then change that and compile under windows32/64.
I have no idea how to fix it automagically.


Very old question, but the answer is that git has to be on your path.

But what you're talking about now, the "incoming" peers on the p2pool statistics page, is the number of "miners" connected to your p2pool. If I understand it correctly

You don't: peers are other P2Pool nodes. P2Pool doesn't show the number of miner connections (you can see the active miners in the graphs though).

if you don't have upnp on your router or port forwarding set up, you won't have any incoming. p2pool will still work without incoming

I seem to not have any incoming peers for both my BTC and LTC pools, ports have been forwarded for over a month and never had any problems with 11.2 (I updated to 11.3 the other day after managing to read this whole thread over the last month), both pools have had incoming peers since a couple of restarts this week. Since the last reset I seem to not have incoming peers. Any ideas ?
Although I'm not sure, I think you're confusing 2 different things here. Upnp stuff is related to the ability of bitcoin/litecoin/etc client (that is the wallet software) to accept incoming connections from the internet so that you can have more than 8 connections (which is the limit for those users that don't have the appropriate port open/forwarded). I have ports 9332 and 9333 forwarded to the computer that is running litecoin client (in "server" mode) on my home firewall and set "maxconnections=24" in my litecoin.conf, though I'm not sure what's the benefit here, maybe I can "download" the info about the new blocks found faster or something...

But what you're talking about now, the "incoming" peers on the p2pool statistics page, is the number of "miners" connected to your p2pool. If I understand it correctly you'll only see "incoming" there if someone from the internet will start mining on your p2pool.. for that, of course, you'll also have to open/forward the appropriate ports, but the point here is that if you haven't invited anyone to mine on your p2pool node — you'll never see anything other than "0" there.

I might be wrong on this, but that's how I see it at the moment. I've got 6 miners at home and usually, if they're all running, I see "Peers: 6 out, 0 in" on my p2pool statistics page. It acts out sometimes and I see "7 out" although I have only 6 miners, might be a p2pool or cgminer bug, but most of the time it's "6 out, 0 in" in my case.
