*confetti toss* I love P2Pool and all.... But it's just such a pain in the ass... having atleast three windows Always open x.x.....

I made simple .net launcher for bitcoind, namecoind and p2pool. All windows invisible. You can close launcher after it all fires up.
To stop all tings need use bictoind stop, namecoind stop and kill p2pool via task manager.
If you are interested...
You will have only take care of miner window or use gui miner Tongue

How would a Slow-DoS attack affect p2pool if a percentage of nodes were attacked? If all nodes were attacked?

Slow-DOS will lock up the p2pool and bitcoind processes, effectively paralyzing them. However, because this type of attack usually doesn't kill the network connection miners (sharing the same IP address) are free to failover to a public p2pool node or even a regular pool.

I would get those errors before I realized that I was using the AMD drivers that have the cgminer 100% cpu usage bug. I just manually set bitcoin-qt and p2pool for core 0, and then cgminer for core 1 and it fixed all my problems. My stales went way down as well.

This indicates one of 2 things:
- your pc has no CPU power to keep bitcoind + p2pool + something else to run properly
- your internet connection is lagging badly
Or that bitcoind has crashed / was closed / is busy ^^.

No problems with bitcoind. When p2pool lost the connections there were still dozens of connections in the bitcoin client.

After a while it's fixing itself.
Why is it having connection problems when it's processing the shares?
The bitcoin client doesn't seem to be affected, it's running just fine.

I'm on several >100% PPS pools.

On which pools are you on?

P2pool is an awesome concept. It just doesn't pay. I'm making ~9 btc per day PPS. That would take 4 blocks per day on p2pool. Which when I was on was a really good day. I consistently got 2.x btc per block as one of the top miners.

So your pool pays 4.25x better than p2pool? Where do I sign up?

Ha well lately it pays 10 times better. Lol. I'm on several >100% PPS pools. Look down. Projectx is paying 112-114%. That's paid 6.x btc per day. 6.7btc yesterday on 10gh. Half my stuff is there now.

Looks like Eligius is being DDOSed. One of you wankers doing this to prove something? Cheesy

But Luke said.....

Lol. Not me I just got up. Ddos attacks are dumb. They should annoy tychno instead. Especially since they are the ones who hurt p2pool the most.

Read! He wrote 2.x btc per block (not per day) on p2pool.

Pulease.

I'm sure that's not what he meant.

It's easy to see what pools paid out what, especially if there is a historical hashrate available..*p2pool*.
# of blocks * 50 / Hashrate for that period (in giga hashes) = payout per giga hash

No body will produce these graphs because it would prove without a doubt p2pool outperforms everyone else. Tongue

Sorry, but even with Eligius's terrible luck lately, it still has a better track record than p2pool - and I'm pretty sure we're not the only other pool with historical hashrate available either.

Are you saying Eligius has a higher payout per gigahash than p2pool does? Undecided

At this time, yes. Over the (very) long term, statistically they should be the same.
