I am merged mining, BTC, NMC, IXC, I0C, DVC, GRP and CLC all at once.

I0coin has a much lower difficulty than IXCoin, yet I am seeing IXCoin blocks but no I0Coin blocks.

Does it actually submit the work to all the daemons it has enough difficulty for?

-MarkM-

I've gotten a few i0coin blocks but no ixcoin blocks so far..

How many CLC connections do you have? I've got CLC merged with me but I only have 2 connections so I'm guessing I'm on my own fork of the chain now...

been there done that. still no good im just cursed i guess

Is the machine running P2Pool overloaded or underprovisioned? Some people running it on Atom processors have reported higher miner rejection rates.

ya newest cgminer.. i tried different setups.. ill just keep it at the 10% reject i guess

Sigh ... copied directly from the cgminer README:
Q: How do I tune for p2pool?
A: p2pool has very rapid expiration of work and new blocks, it is suggested you decrease intensity by 1 from your optimal value, and decrease GPU threads to 1 with -g 1.

anyone have any recommended settings for cgminer I have been getting a lot of rejects.. about 10% even at a low intensity.. tried dynamic and its still at 10% anyone got a magic number?

See cgminer README.

Are you using the latest version of CGminer? With no options (=dynamic, 2 gpu threads), I only get ~1% rejected. You are talking about the rejects that cgminer shows, right?

I guess it's a good thing to use the --irc-announce switch,

No. It'll only increase spam in p2pool's IRC channel.

but is there anything needed in terms of firewall configuration for this to work?

No.

If it's only an outgoing connection it should simply work ...

Yes.

Okay, disabled it ^^ ... didn't know it was really just a chat announce, I thought it would improve something ^^. Thanks for your reply!

block finder bounty?

The miner which finds an actual block (main blockchain block) will receive a bonus (5% if I recall correctly), as an extra incentive to report winning blocks

It also affects people who have bitcoin with a crappy network connection, because if all the blocks you find end up being orphaned because of a poor bitcoin configuration, you will not get the block finder bonus you were due.

Keep in mind that it's not an "extra payment" (as "bonus" might imply) since is taken out of the available 50 BTC for the block. In other words, every non-block finder gets a little less than they would normally have if the entire block was being split. Because blocks are found (over time) proportionally to the hashrate of the miners, it ends up being a wash in the long term. You make a little less in the blocks you don't find, but you make more for any blocks you find, and the two offset each other over time.

So it ends up being neutral for people who are doing everything correctly and it is a penalty for anyone who is not doing things correctly (either bad bitcoin setup or intentionally withholding blocks).

Just saw a payment that was too high and found this

Code:

2012-02-24 21:29:38.976578 GOT BLOCK FROM MINER! Passing to bitcoind! http://blockexplorer.com/block/000000000000094d9ff2c8bfad49aeb36f569f4f9e5f9750f27924323eec244b

That's my first block on p2pool.

Hmm I wonder what that is:
value : 0.00077170 BTC
scriptPubKey : OP_IFDUP OP_IF OP_2SWAP OP_VERIFY OP_2OVER OP_DEPTH

also

Your coinbase (7) : 062f503253482f (./P2SH/)

Does that translate to yay I found a block and got some extra BTC? Tongue

Will it take 1.4 hours to see an estimated payout amount and will that directly show up in my Bitcoin Client GUI?

Thanks,
Dia

When the p2pool finds a bitcoin block everyone that contributed will be paid in proportion. see http://p2pool.info/ for the times we found bitcoin blocks, how long the current one takes and how much payout you can expect if we find a block this instant.

The 1.4 hours is a (very rough) estimate of how long it will take you to find a p2pool block (based on your average hash rate in the last 10 minutes I believe). P2ppool blocks are far easier than a bitcoin block (the total p2pool finds one every 10 seconds) and these are used to determine who to pay what when the total p2pool finds a bitcoin block. This happnes proportionally to the total amount of p2pools people submitted in the 24 hours prior to the discovery of the bitcoin block.

Hope this clears things up

Your estimated payout will start showing up after you've mined for a while. The payouts will go to a wallet in the Bitcoin client unless you specify a different address with the -a flag.
