Jaycoin said that he was open sourcing p2pmining's code. You can use it for your needs.

p2pmining.com is looking like a dead/abandoned site to my browser...

-MarkM-

Yes, it was hacked and emptied. But it had the functionality that you need already working.

Check this thread.

I have been asked how p2pool knows how to pay third party miners who connect to it, and neither the wiki page nr the github page seems to say how that is done. I took a wild ass guess that its done by using a bitcoin address as username but is that correct?

-MarkM-

Yes. When shares are submitted, they get credited to the address specified in the username (or to the default address if the username is not an address).

I have been using p2pool to merged mine many chains at once for a long time now, it works fine for me personally however I am not at all sure how or where to find statistics about third party miners so that I can calculate appropriate payoffs for them.

Since the objective is to be able to give them choices about which type of coins they get paid in, I have commission set to 100% to prevent them getting automatic payments in bitcoins.

Looking through the browser interface I see some graphs but don't seem to be able find any clear summaries of how many shares or how much hashing or somesuch that each miner has contributed, nor any way to clear a miner's total on paying them in order to start accumulating a new work-total toward a future payment.

-MarkM-

Functionality to do this is not built in. You'll have to write custom code to do that yourself (as p2pmining.com did).

My provider is Comcast, and I believe we only have a DL limit. When I looked at my account & bill settings online, it showed less than the 250GB limit for the past 3 months, and I'm only at 64gb this month. I don't think they UL is even measured for me. Tongue

The Comcast/Xfinity limit has been suspended.

Under Users & Settings...

"Note: enforcement of the 250GB data consumption threshold is currently suspended."

We haven't received any kind of notice of such a cap, and with the speed plan we have here, I'd hit that 250GB very very quickly.

Maybe, tho, because you're more rural than I...

-- Smoov

Nope, they didn't send out a notice (this is AT&T after all), but the caps are definitely there. They were added on May 2 last year.

Nah, they have to notify the customers of a change in the contract, which caps would be... otherwise, we'd be able to take them to court.

Even just having a note on one of the bills that they were going to change the terms, would suffice, but we got nothing.

Soo... we'll see...

ps: You have a data cap? ... Does the data cap only count on traffic that goes outside of our network? Do you get free in-network traffic?

AT&T has a cap on all of the data transferred on their network now; 150GB for DSL and 250GB for U-Verse.

Is it crazy to see 6.3 gigs upload as a result of P2Pool traffic? BTC and LTC?

I do know I'd been running into my data cap (150GB per month) almost every month in the recent months that I was running p2pool. I'm not entirely sure that p2pool was the cause though.

Maybe check on the # of connections you guys are allowing, both in p2pool, and in your daemons, and cut them down more.

That should drop the cumulative bandwidth used.

Well I noticed on my router 2 gigs a day for the last 2 days ..then noticed I left a torrent seeding.. that might be the cause for my internet being shitty today... but looking at stats on my linux box running p2pool

for the last 4 days...

network history 2.7 GiB down 6.6GiB up ... I have done system up dates as well and I haven't uploaded anything from that computer I am watching it in real time and the outgoing spikes to 250 KiB/s for about 10-15 seconds every minute. No other services on that box that would send info to the internet ... and no one is connected to my pools....

Over what timeframe? Or am I confused about the question? There is definite up and down traffic because of P2pool (sending and receiving information from other nodes), but until we know the time frame that 6.3gb was uploaded, I wouldn't know. I haven't measured my network usage from P2pool though.

oops... I thought I put that in there ... 4 days... is what my box says is the uptime.

We orphaned our own block though? And I still get payout for that block..

M

yes, we had two blocks in competition for a while. It looks like both were actually extended by others and it wasn't until the 194902 height that one of them "won" and the other was orhpaned. You should have gotten a payment for the one that "won" (assuming you had at least 1 share prior to the block being found) and not for the orphaned block. However, you may have a transaction with 0 confirmations in your transaction log for the orphaned block. That's normal. It will never get confirmed and so you might as well just ignore it.

I ran "bitcoind -rescan" and it found the missing transaction.
