I hope you all find this interesting: NPW 5.1 p2Pool - bad luck or flawed?

Let me know if I've made any egregious errors in how I've described how p2Pool works.

Nicely done, but there is NO explanation WHY it is 10% longer than it "should" Tongue

And I have absolutely no idea if it is even possible or how.

I have a idea, but unsure how to prove it.
In my case P2pool.info ALWAYS and sometimes even my local node shows more hash rate than I have on my miner.
Maybe it it all ok in pool itself, just numbers send/taken to analysis are screwd? By this magic 10% ?

hashrate by p2pool on your PC and on p2pool.info is a GUESS based on the shares submitted at that time. I've had it say I've got 40gh/s because I mined with 1500 diff shares and got 5-10 shares in quick succession.

Very nice and thorough analysis... am impressed.

Thanks Smoovious!

Will be interesting to see, if you do this again for p2pool, how forrestv's recent changes to increase propagation of found block info, affects the data. Given enough time of course.

I'm keen to revisit this in another 500 blocks. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. I hope the hashrate ups a little bit.

That's my opinion. Running your own node is usually fun.
Unfortunately, the setup is not trivial, so I made my node public to support the P2pool idea.

LOL?
Download zip, unpack, run. Node setup done.

[ironically]
so easy? Wink

I must install python, twistet, Set Bitcoind as server and so on.
whats with people who use a pool and an e-wallet, which never used a Bitcoind ?

why are there still so many old nodes, when ist easy?
[/ironically]

Just READ 3 first posts of this thread, everything is explained step-by-step.

I know how to setup, but other people Not. ...

Nice work. You gotta tell us mate : what do you do for a living ?

I work in Allied Health in a children's hospital, with patients and doing some research.

maybe 1 GB of RAM is to small. you need to have your own node? you can also use a public node, for example my :-) as Your runs normal.

Eh, I dunno, like I said, it's been running fine for weeks. And no, I don't need to, but it sure is fun to Grin

I've got other machines laying around here if I have to switch, but this one was my lowest power one so I figured I'd give it a shot first.

Did the latest update up the ram requirement significantly? I've had oom-killer kill the python process twice in 24hrs. I restarted it again this morning and it's already back up to 350mb. This box only has 1gb total, but it's had no problem running p2pool for weeks uninterrupted before. I finally just put an entry in crontab to restart the thing every 6 hrs.

on my Ubuntu-Server with 4GB Ram bitcoind use 2.6% and Pyhthon 2.5% Memory

Odd. Our bitcoind's are only off by about 20mb, but my p2pool is using around 200mb more. I'm using the latest git pulls of both (as of yesterday anyway).

This is a Fedora 17 32bit box, if that matters.

Did you patch the Fedora yesterday?

I actually just did a few mins ago, but I haven't rebooted to apply the new kernel yet. According to my yum.log, my last python update was on June 03, to 2.7.3-3. Most of the stuff it pulled down today involved dhclient, perl, and the kernel.
