Here we go! Somebody's bringing some serious HP (Hash Power) to P2Pool. That's what I like to see 😉

P2Pool running close to 4 PH/s. Hopefully it's more than a test.

If you don't like it ... run it alone !

Congratulations !
   I hope that you increase the block finding reward too
and the transparency in the discovery  !
   By the way can also issue shares lifetime  Grin

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.  He's got no control over the block finder's reward, or over the share life.  The only way for those to be changed would be in the source code, and for all nodes to agree to it by downloading and installing the changed codebase.

I've launched a new site at http://P2Pool.org

It contains both the data from minefast.coincadence.com and the copy from the old p2pool.org.

P2Pool.org now has a P2Pool node. You are welcome to set it as a backup or primary mining node.

URL: stratum+tcp://p2pool.org:9332
User: YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS
Pass: not required

NOTE: The p2pool.org node now charges a 2% fee (1% to me, 1% to Forrest, P2Pool's developer)

All the same stats that were available on minefast.coincadence.com are now available at:

http://p2pool.org/stats

I will give the existing miners at minefast.coincadence.com a couple-few weeks to move over to p2pool.org, or find another node to mine on. After that I will set up redirects pointing to p2pool.org for the website and shut down minefast.coincadence.com.

If you use minefast.coincadence.com as a primary or backup node you need to update your miners ASAP.

If you join the p2poool IRC channel, the block finder is announced there.  You have to remain on the channel, or have a bot record it for you, otherwise you'll miss the announcement.

Humm
Can you teach how to see
who relayed the share (block) ?

Good morning
How do i know who found the last p2pool block?   Huh
I can only see who relayed the share to me and they were not the block finder as the share was not one of theirs.

You have to have a really low hashrate to not get a share within the payout window. The S5 at 1.155 TH should on average get a share at least once an hour which should yield ~75 shares within the payout window.
Yes, on CURRENT hashrate.
Take step back, when P2Pool was 3rd-5th biggest mining pool.
What HR you will need when pool is @200TH or 500TH not 1TH?
Under the current solution, individual miners, within reason, need to scale with the pool. In my opinion, working through the effort of created multiple share chains to accommodate dust payments is irresponsible and is a complete disservice to both the miners getting paid dust payments and the folks working on development.

However, if there was a way to accumulate dust payments and/or have the ability to opt-in to carryover payments from block find to block find within the share chain until a certain threshold was met, then I would say that was a reasonable solution.

P2Pool protocol need major change.
Standard pool role is to make miner variance LOWER. At the moment, when P2Pool power raise miner variance raise as well.
Also, when power raise smaller miners are unable to get share and payout.

To keep decentralized structure of pool, I see that P2Pool protocol can adopt few share chains on different share power (diff).
This way, we will have "payout" chain, that store share information ready to pay and few (2? 3?) chains storing lower diff share information.
Having additional share chains to store low difficulty shares only creates more problems for miners with really low hashrates. Specifically, it will enable payouts that are essentially dust.

P2Pool has consistently been above a 1 PH average as of recent (about a month or so).  This slight surge is higher than the relative growth of total Bitcoin network Hashrate over the same period. P2pool is currently less than 1% of total network Hashrate. If we can continue to grow just a little bit more, this variance should improve dramatically.

I understand the variance is mathematically calculated the same in either case, but I believe there's a psychological element to it for P2Pool miners (especially new ones).  Hitting a block every couple of days is dramatically different then hitting every couple of weeks.  Feels like a precipice to me...just need to grow a little bit more 😉
If p2pool could push into the >2PH range, I believe we could improve the psychological element significantly. Honestly, I would be a lot happier if we were in the 3 to 5 PH range, but unfortunately we are not there.

I own and operate my own pool (http://bravo-mining.com).  I mined on p2pool for a few years prior to opening mine.  I don't own p2pool, nor am I its CEO.  P2Pool nodes are owned and operated individually.  The source code is owned by forrestv.
