P2Pool release 8.2 tag: 8.2 hash: 7e823017a508feb861ee05cb163df88cde35b57b

HARDFORK: Upgrade is required! Hardfork will happen after 95% of the pool's hash rate has upgraded. Everybody having not upgraded will be split off into a tiny P2Pool.

Windows binary: http://u.forre.st/u/fgwamcsu/p2pool_win32_8.2.zip
Source zipball: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/zipball/8.2
Source tarball: https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/tarball/8.2

Changes:
* Transaction preforwarding Transactions that you're mining are sent to peers before you get a share, so any block solution you find can be broadcast virtually instantaneously. This could theoretically get our invalid block rate below any other pool's thanks to our large network of nodes.
* Added some additional data to web stats viewer.
* Added network traffic graph.

I'm trying p2pool again...

Thanks!

Excellent work.

Now for the next version. Is it time to start considering ASICs? A lot of the current small miners are going to see difficulty go too high as soon as ASICs come online. I see 2 options:

1. Split ASICs off to a separate pool.
2. Auto-adjust local share difficulty.

I renamed the dir back to forrestv-p2pool-7aedd00 and then, to accommodate my script which starts p2pool, made a soft link to it named p2pool. That script contains "python ~/src/p2pool/run_p2pool.py". There's still no version output.

[I recognize that this issue is quite trivial and will cheerfully accept lack of a reply.]

P2Pool uses the argv[0] (the path that you give to run_p2pool.py) to find its directory, so it's looking at "~/src/p2pool", and the symlink does nothing. I think it would make most sense to rename it to p2pool_8.2 and run p2pool as "python ~/src/p2pool_8.2/run_p2pool.py". (:

forrestv,

I'm doing the same thing, that is I untar it and then do a

Code:

ln -s ./forrestv-p2pool-7aedd00 p2pool

then I start it with a

Code:

cd p2pool
python ./run_p2pool.py

and it shows, right at the start

Code:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount parent )
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
2012-10-18 09:25:08.997911 p2pool (version 7aedd00)

So it finds its version even if I start if from a link

P2Pool release 8.2 tag: 8.2 hash: 7e823017a508feb861ee05cb163df88cde35b57b

Output and web stats page say:
Version: unknown

How did you get P2Pool? From Git? Pre-built Windows binaries? Github zip/tarball download?

Ah, sorry... tarball download from github. I unarchived it then renamed the resulting directory to p2pool. I'm using Linux.

Using the tarball doesn't provide any version information except the contained folder's name... and you renamed it, so it couldn't use that. Ordinarily, it extracts to forrestv-p2pool-7aedd00, and P2Pool uses the hash at the end as its version.

is it planned to add "ASIC Features" like Stratum or so to p2pool?

I am wondering the same thing

After 3 months solid - Back to bitminter Undecided

(and fees)

Now they will only solve 1 block every 2 days - (I tend to have that affect).

If blocks increase - feel free to donate and I will stay away!

Do you admit that you holding all blocks you found? Tongue

Well, I found 4 blocks in three months and got the little finder's fee for each - nice feature. I really like the idea of P2Pool, but got tired of lowering intensity (speed) in order to decrease stales and the like. I get 0.5 Gh/s more on the other pool (cranked at -I 13)

No, I wouldn't know how to hold blocks. I just characteristically have bad L*ck Cheesy

Anyway, my P2Pool payout amount will dwindle to nothing in the next 18 hours, after which you can expect tons of cha-chings.

Well we are at 122% 7-day luck, so I guess your plan worked lol.

Oh crap! Someone mentioned the L word... Angry
