So you're telling me that every time I get an NMC block, I also found a BTC block? So the 200 NMC I got over the past 2 months, I could have also gotten 200 BTC? I made only like 10 BTC using p2p/pools.

If luck is the explanation of the frequency of block discovery, then we are discovering 10% below what is possible on average. The below average discovery rate could indicate resource diversion, which has already been shown publicly to occur. You could say that "Luck" is how to explain away resource diversion.

Also, I'm guessing p2pool has had some seriously bad **** in the last week that I've been testing? I'm running around 5 GH/s on p2pool and 4 GH/s on btcguild and my btcguild income has been higher  Embarrassed

DON'T SAY THE L WORD. The **** has been terrible this week, to answer your question. You can see here: http://p2pool.info/. And yes update your P2Pool, an update was released earlier. Its at the top of the page.

Ahh, thanks for that url. I'll update my boxes tomorrow. That explains why more GH/s was making less than a PPS pool. Hopefully the BTC generation increases, I like the idea of p2pool but need to be able to pay for power also..

Why would you expect that?  It really depends on how the luck is calculated and what the luck % actually means right.  Then you can get a confidence interval of how likely it is to be chance.  You cant just guess this kind of stuff though, you have to calculate it.

I guess that 90% means that we are getting 90% of the expectation value.  One thought is that we have so many hashes going on that you would expect real tight statistics, but you have to remember that the probability is exceedingly low so you may not expect the distribution to be as tight as first thought.

Given our number of trials for the last 90 days, and the number of hits is .9 within a std dev.?   Huh

(Im guessing this has probably been discussed elsewhere  Tongue )

90 day luck is consistently 10% below what is possible to be paid out. That would be like getting ⊅45 per block instead of the ⊅50 that is possible within the past 90 days. That isn't just bad luck, but either an attack on coin generation or some unknown design flaw (or a combination of both). I would expect the luck over 90 days to be much closer to 100% than it currently is.

Pardon my ignorance on this issue but do I need to change my local p2pool to a different version? Or does the pool just need a core of correct machines to maintain the proper blockchain?

Don`t panic! Organize!
P2Pool is back to normal now. Thanks to everyone who quickly upgraded for generating a forked sharechain that got everyone else mining again.
PLZ xplain, what version should be good? I see on todays graph that (blue 2) is coming and going, and (red 1) is always a majority.
We also have VERY unstable global hash rate: 200-500GH/s ? It is still something wrong on network?
Edit:
Also, we have a block found and I not see it on my stats page?

ONE does not mention the L word, lol.

On the plus side we hit a block, and someone sent a .5btc donation to the pool.

So are we back to the pre-update protocol now? Any idea if the luck is fixed?

yeah always nice to wake up to 80% orphan shares....

so what happened the "killswitch" for the older versions take out the new versions too?
http://groups.google.com/group/p2pool-notifications/browse_thread/thread/9d7678823d9931e0
"This problem was triggered by P2Pool's version count going into the >95% upgraded area, everyone switching to the new protocol, and then it briefly going below the threshold, revealing a bug. The root cause of the bug being created was me overlooking the fact that Python's isinstance function also returns True for instances of subclasses. "
Ooops!

Just got on the latest version. I went to bed before forrestv put out the "final" patched version so I was on the wrong one all night. Oh well. Only 30% stales.  Roll Eyes

Hopefully this latest will be the ticket. I noticed we're already at 471gh for the pool. We've never been this high before. Maybe there was an issue before that was cutting the hashrate.

It is now 50/50 new/old versions.

Pool rate: 439GH/s (38% stale) Share difficulty: 655 O_o
Why so much orphans?

Got that right away.

I got that too on upgrading.  Looked like there was something wrong with some local shares.  After that it loaded the rest just fine and is now up and running.  Hope it stops the local rejects.

Having a rough time here with p2pool.  I get random communication problems with p2pmining.com, so my local p2pool is my backup.  Was averaging 10% rejects on my local and higher on p2pmining because of the comm problems.

What about "desired versions"?
Red is good or blue? I see on graph that after reset I get all red, now some blue is popping in. Same thing in your. Just change to hour.
