i tried setting it up with litecoin just for kicks and get the same thing myself.

04/17/13 00:50:31 received block cf325cc26a3570e6338c
04/17/13 00:50:31 SetBestChain: new best=cf325cc26a3570e6338c  height=335883  work=26545242345195032  date=04/17/13 00:50:23
04/17/13 00:50:31 SetBestChain: 46 of last 100 blocks above version 1
04/17/13 00:50:31 ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED

this is what causes it in the litecoin src

    // Check the version of the last 100 blocks to see if we need to upgrade:
    if (!fIsInitialDownload)
    {
        int nUpgraded = 0;
        const CBlockIndex* pindex = pindexBest;
        for (int i = 0; i < 100 && pindex != NULL; i++)
        {
            if (pindex->nVersion > CBlock::CURRENT_VERSION)
                ++nUpgraded;
            pindex = pindex->pprev;
        }
        if (nUpgraded > 0)
            printf("SetBestChain: %d of last 100 blocks above version %d\n", nUpgraded, CBlock::CURRENT_VERSION);
        if (nUpgraded > 100/2)
            // strMiscWarning is read by GetWarnings(), called by Qt and the JSON-RPC code to warn the user:
            strMiscWarning = _("Warning: this version is obsolete, upgrade required");
    }


so, it's shooting that off since nUpgraded > 50

i'm running the latest version of litecoind

i edited that part out of src

I noticed this odd behavior using p2pool/LTC too.  cgminer is happily hashing away but I'm no longer being paid.

I've stopped mining entirely anyway while waiting for my ASIC.

How come that I sometimes receive my share from a new block (mining LTC with local p2pool 11.3) in my wallet, but that block is not listed in the pool's statistics? Just today, the latest blocks were found at (UTC time) 16:02, 16:59, 18:04, 21:33, and then there's 22:50, but in my wallet there's also ~ 1 LTC mined from 22:04 (Transaction ID: b8921528d4ae00f32f05890af58b981b88f373d4ac7c17275fd22b29c20423e0). The same thing happened a couple of days ago. Sometimes I get a feeling that there's something wrong, like it takes p2pool too long to find a block.. just a couple of days ago there was a ~6 hours period without a block found, I was running p2pool 11.2 and that made me search for updates, found 11.3 and started using it, all was fine but then again this "missing" block from 22:04...

Is there a place I can see the history of LTC blocks found other than my local 127.0.0.1:9327/static/? There's p2pool.info, but it only shows BTC blocks found...

Really rocking it today. Woot!

In fact in an ideal world any communication problem detected in p2pool (be it with bitcoind, with other nodes are even reported to P2Pool by bitcoind) should trigger this kind of behavior so that miners have the opportunity to look for a backup pool which might not be affected by the same problems.

Can anyone look into this,please? 

Sweet little overnight bonus last night

in the log file or on your website you can look at the last share & see what the difficulty level is at the moment (approximately anyway, the logfile would tell you exactly w/ the new work)

right now it's 793.5697319853241

ok, thanks.

You have to wait and be patient.  Connect to your p2pool instance using your web browser and look at the data.  If the local hash rate > 0 then you're good to go.  p2pool shares are solved at a much lower rate than your cgminer shares.  Depending on your hash rate it could take hours.

WISHLIST:

Right now, when bitcoind dies, p2pool continue working and is still sending work to connected miners. All miners connected to node with dead bitcoind, will generate 100% DOA shares.

My suggestion is to make a change:
When p2pool detects that bitcoind is dead, it should not only write a warnings on webUI and in the log, it should disconnect all connected miners immediately, with 403 Forbidden or something, so they can connect to other, backup pool.

Hi, I setup p2pool for my self to mine on, and I am using cgminer to mine on it. However when I start doing so, cgminer says it is finding shares but it does not show up on the p2pool screen. And when I connect to 127.0.0.1:9332 on my browser, it also says I have no shares, and my payout will be 0 BTC. Can someone help me?

Well then what version of Litecoin client are you using?  Is it possible you're somehow connecting to the Bitcoin client instead?

Even if i am using it to LTC ?

Here's your problem.

Hi All,

   Im trying to set p2pool server but it seems that it is not working at all....  Shares and Payout always set to 0.
   Am i missing something ? Ideas?

Aha. I see.

That worked. Now the UI is only accessible from the PC running it. It's a partial solution. Thanks.

Another problem popped up when I did this. I killed p2pool with the miner still running and restarted it with the new command line. As p2pool came back online, it reported that 90%+ of the hashes were DOA. I let thing run for a little so that bfgminer would have a chance to resync but the DOAs remained high. Does bfgminer eventually resync with p2pool after it's done whatever work it may have been doing or do I have to force reset bfgminer? I mean while this isn't difficult for me, it would be problematic on an automated setup that goes through all sorts of ups and downs over months of running.

How to change WebInterface(stats) listening port but leave workers port the same?

Hmmm...
