This fact that is not possibile to tell exactly what was found and when is a big problem, IMHO, which could stop miners from switching to p2pool.
The first post has had a link to a full, guaranteed list of P2Pool-found blocks for a long time:
List of all blocks found: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4
forrestv,
I'm sorry my sentence keeps coming up, I was answering a previous message from piuk with a link to blockchain.info which had a wrong block listed and just the day before p2pool log file was found by me to contain out-of-date (and as such "misleading" as in "misleading to a user" of p2pool) informations (they clearly are not misleading to their author or to someone who digs into the source code and understands its inner workings).
I also did not check that blockexplorer link because I thought that grepping p2pool log file was the surest way to know what was going on and in case of troubles (blocks being lost and share numbers swinging a lot were yesterday "problems" I was trying to go after) looking up an address to see if it got its payment is not a good idea IMHO since on a lost block every address should not receive any payment.
So I was trying to express the idea that there is not a "place" which lists blocks found and found but rejected by the network as it happens with other pools which often have such a "place".
Maybe my sentence sounds to english speaking peoples in way that is too harsh or just stronger than it was meant to be, my apologies if this is the case.

I've been playing around with making a p2pool recent stats page. It's not done yet, and the backend needs a lot of work, but it's done enough to give you an idea:
http://btcstats.net/p2pool/
http://btcstats.net/p2pool/
- Includes Recent pool hash rate and stale rate
- Recent blocks are shown on the chart as vertical lines so that you can "see" variance
- Recent blocks are also listed in a table with links to the details
Very nice.

I've been meaning to ask for a while... how are version numbers generated? Do they encode any information of interest to a user?
February 10, 2012, 11:52:03 AM
Hmm..
We have seven rigs running, one of them doesnt seem to work.
No p2pool shares were generated. So I updated from 0.8.1 to the recent forrestv-p2pool-0.8.3-0-g3cfeee9.
Still using GuiMiner, it throws:
Any ideas?

I have multiple interfaces on a host and I want run_p2pool.py to listen on 9.8.7.6:9332 How do I do this?
P2Pool should listen on port 9332 on all interfaces. Is this a problem..? You mentioned just needing to connect external miners, which many people already do.

Merged mining is only possible if both chains use the same hash function.
The CPU chains use different hash functions so thus cannot merge mine as such ...
... well they could, but you'd be using the same amount of extra resources as mining both chains separately so it's pointless.

Can I use p2pool to mine Bitcoins and with the --merged flag also mine Litecoins at the same time?
Litecoins use a different miner and are a different pool. You can do both bitcoins and litecoins at the same time, but you do that by running two copies of p2pool at the same time (one in bitcoins mode and the other in litecoins mode). The litecoins p2pool instance will be running on different ports and you point your litecoin miners at it while your bitcoin miners point at the normal p2pool instance.
Start a litecoin instance like this:
./run_p2pool.py --net litecoin -a paymentaddress rpcusername rpcpassword
Then point your litecoin miners to http://localhost:9338
Thanks for clarification.
I was hoping it would be possible to do kinda merged mining (like it's possible with Bitcoind and Namecoin).

If you come from a pool (I'm mining since may last year), you're used to a pool page where you find mined blocks, your payout and so on.
Here you need to grep logs and I was grepping them when I found that old blocks get re-logged as new, and as such my payouts were "wrong".
This has been fixed yesterday.
I'm not stating that p2pool is not correct, but that it is just "difficult" to prove it is
And I'm here because I like p2pool and I've never mined on deepbit.

p2pool claims to be totally transparent. Users having full control (as in opposite to big mining pools).
Yet we don't even know for sure when / what was found.
The fact that YOU don't know, doesn't mean that others don't.
P2pool is totally opensource and there are logs of everything happened.
Go back to paying 10% to deepbit now.

Well, do a daily cronjob then,
and remove the duplicates with
True, this could be integrated into p2pool as well.. p2pool is in constant development.
For me, a look at my blockexplorer-address is enough, anyway.

Not talking to you personally, kano, I guess you know your linux stuff by now ;-)

Hmm but the share-chain history is gone after 2 days ...
Yeah I know there are people who never write buggy code ... but the rest of us ... if you find a problem the history is all but gone.

Your p2pool log shows everything!Something like
Code:
cat path-to-p2pool/data/bitcoin/log | grep BLOCK
Example:
2012-02-09 17:16:28.953245 GOT BLOCK FROM PEER! Passing to bitcoind! fd031bab bitcoin: 6bdb99d5aab93a5cc5b36c427eb07657011f7354e92d81b47b1
You can search block explorer for the block hash (eg 6bdb99d5aab93a5cc5b36c427eb07657011f7354e92d81b47b1) to find details of the block. This one was 166064, the most recent one found by p2pool.
