Can you see your address on this page?

Why does p2pool currently show "current payout: 0.0000 BTC"? Seems a little low...
You've recently restarted p2pool, and it's got a new address from your bitcoind.Please feel free to cut and paste this when someone asks the same question in 14.36 hours:

Your previous address will still receive any payouts if a block is found within 24 hours, your new address will also receive it's share of any payouts. Your expected payout will be spread across both addresses. If a block is found now, the old will get the bigger share. If a block is found in 20 hours, the new will have a much larger share. If you want to keep the same address (so you can keep an eye on things), specify it with the "-a" option.
I'll keep the copy/paste in mind for the future, but I definitely have the same payout address as before.

Edit: I should add - that when there's an orphan battle, who do you think will win?
A solo P2Pool bitcoind with 8 connections or BTC Guild's bitcoind with ? connections?
If they post them very closely together the winner is usually the one with the most connections and the fastest internet.

Which is why every p2pool node should use port forwarding. My bitcoind has 208 connections granted maybe BTC Guild would have still won the orphan battle but at least it would be a fighting chance.
On edit: hey is you use the add node command for bitcoind is that node guaranteed to be used? Even if the person is limited to 8?
The reason I ask is I (and others) could setup a high connection relay server with low latency and 200+ connections. For people who can't get port forwarding figured out they could add that node and be 1 hop away from 200+ nodes.

For those interested, I imported the blockchain data into Excel from http://blockchain.info/address/1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4 (the block chain from p2pool) and found the average time between payouts starting 1/1/2012:
0.46 days between payouts on average for 2012
0.46 days between payouts on average for 2012

Have you found any shares in the last 24 hours?
Yes. I was paid out on the most recent 4 according to p2pool's block chain.

What are your stale rates for locals and shares? I currently have 0.9% for local but a freaking 27% for p2pool shares. What does the dead-value mean btw?

If they post them very closely together the winner is usually the one with the most connections and the fastest internet.
Edit2: and if you look at the 2 block hashes, the BTC Guild one is not the one with the harder difficulty either.

Unfortunately, P2Pool did have an orphan block. However, P2Pool is not at a disadvantage to other pools. P2Pool not only passes block solutions to the local bitcoind, but also passes them to other P2Pool nodes so that they can spread faster. In theory P2Pool should be better for this reason. I've been working on this a bit, because right now stale shares aren't passed around, and that might have contributed to this being an orphan.
...
Bitcoind accepts non-self-generated blocks from the network only.
How does that work with p2pool?
Does p2pool pretend to be another bitcoind and tell the bitcoind about the block whenever it receives a block difficulty share?
Edit: which would mean the p2pool would have to be one of the 8 (or more) constant connections to the local bitcoind.
Edit2: and p2pool would have to deal with all the normal network traffic that bitcoind handles ...]
Edit3: OK, looks like I'm wrong
Maybe you can do it with getmemorypool ... is that how you do it?
Can you feed an new network block into the bitcoind with getmemorypool?
(I've never gone near that command due to the merged-mining implications it created)
If that's the method, then that would put it back to comparing the network speed of bitcoind's block-chain versus p2pool's share-chain+rpc to bitcoind.
Got any info to decide one way of the other?
Yes, p2pool does make a regular p2p connection to your local bitcoind and pretend to be just another node. It also makes a RPC connection. And it uses them for different things.
If your local miners find a block, your local p2pool will return that block to the local bitcoind using RPC calls. It will also spread that block to all of it's p2pool peers, which will then relay it to their local bitcoind using the ordinary bitcoin p2p protocol.
In other words, a block found by p2pool will spread through two different networks.

Also, keep in mind that whoever made this share had it ultimately declared as an orphan because of P2Pool's bitcoin stale rules (probably along with other shares that they mined), so they are being punished for having a too-high latency.
Last, the fact that their block's hash is lower does not make any difference at all.

That's weird as I didn't get a payout even though my address shows up there
I haven't been paid out for the last block either. The one before that took a really long time to show up too, about two hours. This one is coming up on 2hrs now as well so I'm assuming it'll show up eventually. I'm sitting here reading articles for work, but keep looking up to see if there's a new pop-up box on my computer.
Damn this new hobby

If your address is in there, you didn't only get a payout, you can actually see how much you got paid.
It doesn't seem to mention whether that block was orphaned, though...
