The pool hash rate is regularly up above 300g/h now. That'll make your piece of the pie (and mine) smaller. Theoretically it should mean more regular blocks which will offset it.

Theoretically.

Yea I get that however ...... your local client should still return a local share rate that is reflective of your local hash rate should it not?

There's a lot of variance, explained here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1057860

Since the 2+ day block started my mean returned share rate only seems to be about 65% of expected in relation to local hash rate. Has anyone else seen something similar?

Is it coincidence that the highest pool hash rate in a long time coincides with the longest block in a month? Going on 48 hours here...

I feel like my shares have bad mojo. Sad

Just started using p2pool again today and I have a quick question. Does the --p2pool-node flag support DNS lookups or can it only do IP addresses? I have a friend nearby that I'd like to be always connected to, but he has a dynamic IP.

DNS lookups should definitely work. If they fail, P2Pool should print an error while starting up. A few of the bootstrap nodes, including mine, use domain names instead of IP addresses.

I changed my bitcoin-qt datadir to E:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\,

then run:
run_p2pool --datadir E:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin -a myaddress

it returned:
run_p2pool: error: Bitcoin configuration file not found. Manually enter your RPC password.
If you actually haven't created a configuration file, you should create one at C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\bitcoin.conf with the text:

server=1
rpcpassword=........

I of course had created the file at E:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\bitcoin.conf,
so what's the matter?

The problem was that P2Pool is looking on the C: drive, but your Bitcoin files are apparently on the E: drive? Anyway, you already solved it.

Not only 50BTC from reward but our full payout = reward+fee and 0,5% form this.
So it can be more than 0,25BTC.

Code:

The block reward (currently 50BTC) [b]and the transaction fees[/b] are combined and apportioned according to these rules:

this is what it says when you get one yourself:

2012-08-02 21:58:24.766062 GOT BLOCK FROM MINER! Passing to bitcoind! http://blockexplorer.com/block/00000000000006df0e6a59574c068e78835ba652e3aca88c0c35be5940d9ae87

that one was mine =p you get a bonus when solving a block, i think it's the transaction amt? I got 1.04 for that last one, and .80 for the block previous

[/quote]

Actually this:

"A subsidy of 0.5% is sent to the node that solved the block in order to discourage not sharing solutions that qualify as a block. (A miner with the aim to harm others could withhold the block, thereby preventing anybody from getting paid. He can NOT redirect the payout to himself.) The remaining 99.5% is distributed evenly to miners based on work done recently."

Which can be found here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool

I can verify the actual amount is .25 BTC or 0.5% of 50 BTC

it runs successfuly with PRCUser and RPCPass, thanks a lot!

maybe try telling p2pool your rpc user/pass when you launch it, usually it just reads that from your bitcoin.conf when you're running locally but maybe that's not working in your case

Pool week stats:
Mean: 264 GH
Orphan: 13,2 (5%)
DOA: 8,23 (3%)
It is SO big orphan share ratio? I not see problem in this.

For those who have a % above that they are losing more BTC and those who have a % below that they are getting the lost BTC
Simple
The lower your % the more you get from the others.

P2pool sharechain is ONLY to calculate fair (PPLNS) payments for miner.
Fact that solved block is in orphaned share means nothing. It totally not affecting that bitcoin block can or can not be orphaned.
Every share is send to pool, if it contains block - it is spread via bitcoin even if it is orphaned form our sharechain.
Because we have "our block" every 10 sec not every 10mins chance to orphan sharechain is much higher (ie in one day).

so then you're making the assumption that everyone has the same # of orphaned *p2pool* shares that are in fact, still valid? i'd say not, the higher your latency the more penalized you are.

i think you missed my point entirely

my latency is fine though, so i guess i benefit off the woes of others

another orphaned share solved a block:

hrmmmmmm

Not sure what you mean by that, nor the significance of it?

M

Not from reading earlier comments? boggle.

The significance is, if the share is valid, it should count towards someone's credit regardless of whether or not it gets orphaned from the p2pool chain

obv that share was valid, else it wouldn't have solved a block

most solved shares on p2p are orphaned by the p2p blockchain, i find this strange, but still a fact of mining here
