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 ?

I may have to look at that. But in the meantime, I have the scraping done and now have an Android app that notifies when a p2pool block is found (assuming logic is correct) and is set up to be able to report mining hashrate (cause I just like to know). Now I just need to work together some of the glue code and tidy up the graphics a little and I'll release it on here.

Got my first notification early this AM Cheesy

Anyone want to design a 24x24 white-on-transparent icon for the notification? I may just copy the p2pool logo. Or should I go for something like the mined coin logo in the qt client?

what means "punishing share for 'block-stale detected"?

'Estimated Time to Block' is a guess of how long it will take to find a block at the current rate, 'Current Round' is how long it's actually been.

Because no blocks have been found for ~1d18h

Thank you

They appear to be transactions where forrestv consolidated a zillion small inputs into a single larger output (to make them easier to spend in the future).

FYI, if you are writing code to find p2pool blocks, I found that it was much easier to get data from blockchain.info' API in json format than to try to screen scrape the HTML from blockexplorer.

p2pool.info's logic for finding p2pool blocks is:

1. Looks at every new block as it is found and examines the generation transaction and see if a) it has the donation address, b) has the weird script at the end, and c) has at least 25 outputs (this filters out p2pool forks that have only a few people mining on them)

2. Every once in a while looks at all of the transactions for the donation address looking for generation transactions that it doesn't already know about (because they came in way late and are probably orphans.

I may have to look at that. But in the meantime, I have the scraping done and now have an Android app that notifies when a p2pool block is found (assuming logic is correct) and is set up to be able to report mining hashrate (cause I just like to know).

I must say I'm a little confused with this because the second day I got four minering payments in less than two hours (about 0.03 BTC), and since then nothing more. I understand that this depends on many things and not something cyclical, and I promise I'm trying to be patient Huh

.

You only get paid when p2pool finds a block. See your web status page (yours will be in LTC, this is mine for BTC)

Current block value: 25.5409 BTC Expected time to block: 17.2 hours

As you can see, you'll only get 1 or 2 blocks a day on average - some days 0, some days more (LTC has different numbers, but it works the same way)

I would like to ask only two things, what miner do you think that it's most appropriate for p2pool?. CGMiner looks great, and the stales are very low for me (2-3%) if I compare with other, I have about 300 mhash/s with mi HD7850 GPU.

It doesn't really matter, anything that can connect with long poll

Quote

And second question, in the output I read things like these:
2013-04-24 04:08:03.754000 P2Pool: 17360 shares in chain (17364 verified/17364 total) Peers: 6 (0 incoming), or: 2013-04-24 04:09:28.309000 Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Stale rate: Huh

Efficiency: Huh

Current payout: 0.0000 BTC

Are this correct (0 incoming) or do i have something wrong?

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've finally bit the bullet and switched over from solo mining (litecoin)

I set my CGminer to p2pool.org:9327 along with the address in my litecoin client as my username.

Should I have also downloaded the p2pool program?

Anyway, does this all look normal? Been running for about 4 hours. Nothing showing in my wallet yet.

HW errors make all that work meaningless. MEANINGLESS.

What is the definitive way to see when a non orphaned block has been generated by p2pool?

List of all blocks found: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4

Anyone know what's up with blocks 219190 and 219192 (and probably others) in there? I'm wanting to do some screen scraping and while I can handle that, it's meaning a lot more data is being pulled back than needs to be.

Hello everybody Cheesy

I've only using p2pool a few days, previously only used the traditional mining Pools (BTC-Guild...and others) with an estimated earning of 0.03-0.04 BTC/day. I followed this guide for make a correct instalation: http://forum.litecoin.net/index.php?topic=1430.0

I must say I'm a little confused with this because the second day I got four minering payments in less than two hours (about 0.03 BTC), and since then nothing more. I understand that this depends on many things and not something cyclical, and I promise I'm trying to be patient Huh

Do you like fire? I'm full of it.

Someone should update the thread title. Though I'm not sure how often. In the last 2 weeks P2Pool has grown from ~350 to 700 GH/s... then again that's prolly happening to other pools as well. I'm scared.

Don't mock him. Seeing his colors, he may really be blind.

Are you sure you turned on scrypt? Don't waste time on LTC, just do btc.

Use older firmware, the one with 2.10.5a IIRC and use username+16 or username+32 diff for stratum to work. Still expect 20-30% DOA, but full speed hashrates after a minute or so.

2.11.4 with the worker threads seems to break p2pool again under stratum.

I've been out of town, plus buried in work and just getting back.

Interested to know what sort of machine the server was on ? And if it was a ssd setup for tmpfs?

Hi Aseras,

I'd prefer not to downgrade due to the stuck Avalon problem biting me a couple of times with previous firmware.

I'll wait to see if this gets fixed, otherwise I'll keep mining elsewhere.

Thanks
