Topic: [1500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool - page 777. (Read 2591916 times)

I use a script to sweep any earnings into a different address.  It isn't a great solution, but it works.

Ok, so I have put the same wallet(s) on all my mining machines, hence they all use the same addresse(s).
Is that an ok workaround?

Thank you!

Rejects can be either stale or invalid.  p2pool doesn't distinguish (AFAIK).  Prior to the point of crashing a GPU being overclocked will start to make the occasional math mistake resulting in invalid hashes.

High intensity is bad w/ p2pool because once a GPU starts working it can't stop.  Normally w/ average time between LP of 600 sec this doesn't make much difference.  With p2pool LP occur more common so more often and on average each LP you lose one half of the batch cycle due to wasted/stale data. 

Lower intensity makes the batch smaller thus less is wasted.

Found out that downclocking my cards has a positive effect on stales (rejects) with cgminer 2.2.5. Also lowered intensity. I can see a nice increase in p2pools local hashspeed . Never had a HW reject or extreme clocks. Just funny to see.

I actually do have Litecoin running, didn't even think of that. I'll try that.

& for the people talking about whether the internet connection effects p2p or not, I will tell you when I find out!

WELCOME!!! 

There are some orphans listed on http://blockchain.info/orphaned-blocks.

Better luck next time!

but blockexplorer.com says:  "No such block"

and bitcoind listtransactions says

My first orphan 

That's because I just joined this morning. 

We jave just reached 300GHASH/S

 

290ghash/s right now, update the title

1) If bitcoind cannot access the internet I'm certain that causes problems for P2Pool - then that may? be the cause of it since that may stop P2Pool for getting to the state where it will accept connections.

My point - if bitcoind aint working (blocked to the net - the bitcoin port is known to sometimes be on the 'bad' list) maybe that could be causing problems for p2pool ... ... ... easy to check - does p2pool say it is ready to accept connections (wherever in the log you can check for that? Or whatever the equivalent of linux "netstat -na" is in windows)

2) Hmm ...
Some environments REQUIRE certain software to be installed and running if you wish to access the internet.
e.g. work environments, university environments, maybe others?

My point - if such software is on his computer and only active when on campus, that software could be causing problems.
Does he have any extra software installed required on campus to get to the internet?

BOTH of these are easy to check ... ... ... rather than assuming they are not the cause of the problem.
They may not be the cause - but they are easy to check rather than assume.

(... Yeah I've had to deal with something recently where another IT guy assumed something simple was not worth checking.
2 months later ... that was the cause of the problem and cost my sister almost $900 in what would otherwise have been uneeded extra travelling costs during those 2 months)

I seriously don't get your point here. Nobody mentioned whether bitcoin was able to access the internet, and that wouldn't lead to this particular error. I mentioned the possibility of some mandatory program interfering. I also don't see me assuming anything about the setup that wasn't mentioned.
My point here is simply that the off-campus test is probably unnecessary and it would make more sense to try to find out what is blocking that port (I probably should have been more explicit about that).

So again: what is your point?

Hm - I'd expect P2Pool to have problems if bitcoin is unable to access the internet ...

Also, it's not that unthinkable for environments (work, university, ?) to require certain software installed and running before you are able to access the internet - and that software could also cause issues.

No point assuming stuff until you know for sure it's true - though it is easy to check.

Do you have Litecoin running? IIRC, they use the same port by default. You'll need to tell either p2pool or Litecoin to use a different port, if that's the case.

P2pool is binding to a port on your machine. That means your college can't influence that, all they can influence is communication between your machine and the rest of the world.
The only way your college could influence p2pool's ability to bind to a local port is by having some software installed on your machine, and then it likely wouldn't make any difference where you are, it will always get blocked.

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. And I made sure I didn't have double instances running right now. Curious... I am at a college campus and they may be blocking the port somehow. I guess I'll have to check if I still get the error if I'm somewhere not on campus and report back.

You may have two instances of p2pool running. Accidental doubleclick, or one instance was in the autostart or something like that? A reboot should solve it for sure.
Or, the port is blocked by some firewall, which strangely reserves all ports for itself. Never heard of one like that.. Or you simply have not enough rights to open that port?
Which operation system, are you working with admin rights (if windows)?

This thread is massive and I can't find my problem by searching so here goes..

I used the n00b-guide plus the read me file to set up the pool and from cgminer sometimes it says Accepted and sometimes it says Rejected but Rejected much more than Accepted it appears.

The run p2p window says all the information like my payout address, the hashrate and estimated time for new block of the pool and my local hash rate at 0.0. The error I keep getting says..


And it just keeps doing that indefinitely with the other messages throughout.

using the newest version: http://u.forre.st/u/aswpssxw/p2pool_win32_7b6618c.zip

I get loads of rejects. (i'm using cgminer 2.2.3 with -I 8 -g 1 flags).

Previous version of P2Pool and cgminer 2.2.3 i was getting very few rejects and only 4% orphans, any ideas?


Edit:Updated to cgminer 2.2.5 and all good
