Are we just having terrible luck at the moment or is something wrong with my setup - I'm mining on the ~270Gh/s fork and have had no payments at all thus far today.
Switched most of my own mining power over to PPS, but I've still got ~700Mh/s pointed at p2pool and have been paid a whole 0.11btc over the last 48 hours ¬_¬

Looks good to me!
Your local-dead-on-arrival rose, to a more realistic level of 10%.

Local DOA shouldn't be 10%.  I have ~2% to 3%.

In cgminer be sure to use:
threads per GPU = 1,
queue = 1,
and lower your intensity by 1 compared to conventional pools.

My DOA is ~1.5%, --queue 1 is default (I have it) but with -g there is more interesting.
When I set it to 1 (from 2) ther my card drop to 675MH/s (from 697MH/s).
It is 3.2%  Sad

Is there a hidden profit?

Thanks for reminding me. I still run on poclbm. I did tests with cgminer already, numbers do look better there. I didnt switch over completely yet, though.

Your local-dead-on-arrival rose, to a more realistic level of 10%. I was about to ask how it comes your local-dead was less than 2% on your first screenshot!

Incoming connections as well, so you probably have a static IP?

Ente

Yes I have static IP and use username/3000+1

Now is better:

Yeah as indicated above share count resets in p2pool node when you restart it.
If you don't have a static address set (w/ -a param) your payment address may change also.

Still payments are hardcoded into sharechain.  Even if p2pool is deleted from your computer you will still continue to get paid for earned shares (until they become so old they fall off the end of the sharechain).

I reinstalled p2pool, with folders :-(
I have static address, I use -a param.

Now is like bellow:



Is it ok?

Code:
Yeah as indicated above, p2pool local counter isn't saved between restarts.
If you don't have a static address set (w/ -a param) your payment address may change after a restart too.

Still payments are hardcoded into share chain itself.  Even if p2pool is deleted from your computer you will still continue to get paid for earned shares until they become old enough they fall off the end of the sharechain.

I guess an user friendly improvement to p2pool would be to check sharechain for personal shares and show that even after restart.

i.e.
[code
LOCAL (since reset) 2 shares (1 orphaned)
Total Shares in sharechain:  10,820,  Your Shares in ShareChain: 1,320, your share x%.

How long has it been running?

Your estimated time per share is 1.4 minutes so you should have ~40 shares per hour.

If p2pool has been running 3 to 5 minutes that looks about right.  
If p2pool has been running an hour well that isn't right. Smiley

Now I have full power, and shares:4 is from 13min (14:32:00 - shares:3), now (14:45:00 - shares:4)

I have big problem now, after install AMD 12.3 for windows, all looks ok but in run_p2pool.exe (0.10.3) shares are still 0, efficiency Huh.

What is the problem? Driver?

Thanks in advance Panda Mouse.

Everytime you close and reopen p2pool.exe, the share count resets. That doesn't mean you have 0 shares in the chain, just 0 shares logged with that running version of p2pool. Once you get shares, your efficiency will be calculated again.

I reinstalled p2pool.exe, this is the reason. Thank you, and you Ente. Now everything seems to be ok?

What do you mean with "still"?
Did you restart p2pool after upgrading? How long did p2pool run since then? Does it report a local hashrate from your miners? Do your miners report any problems?

No blocks solved for 24 hours?

(I am on the 275GH/s fork)

What happens to this block?
http://blockchain.info/block-height/174118

It appear for a minute in p2pool.info, but...


EDIT: oh, its a unupdated fork...

Glad to see p2pool made it through the deadline without issue.

It didn't - see block 174053 (~2.5 hours ago)
Of course, the meaning of that is that someone using P2Pool hasn't upgraded.
So yeah it's a bit hard to say "p2pool made it through" since that isn't true until everyone using p2pool has upgraded.

270 GH/s or 75% of the pre-change mining hashpower made it through.  I think 75% is plenty enough to call it "made it through".  And block 174053 is just proof that isolating those that have abandoned their mining rigs was the right thing to do.  If they hadn't been isolated those miners would have created a useless block while still getting paid in other blocks by the other 75% of the p2pool miners for their useless shares.

Heck, there is probably a small peer to peer network of people that never upgraded after the last required upgrade.  Getting everyone to upgrade is an unachievable goal.  Getting "most" upgraded is enough.

A minor request if I can make one. 
On the graphs page would it be possible to add "current" next to the mean value.  Even better would be a min, max, avg, and current values.

Code:
Local Hashrate:
Current: 11.8 GH/s
Min: 10.4 GH/s
Max: 12.8 GH/s
Mean: 11.6 GH/s

Also adding an expected daily payout after Current Payout Value would be a nice addition.
Essentially it would be (Current Payout Value)*(24 hours) / (expected block time in hours)
