what does the miner say?
the p2pool client is from git?

Good morning!
I let p2pool run for the last 10 hours, with around 280mh/s.
Still nothing, it says "0", and no payment neither on the stated adress nor in the bitcoin wallet..
Halp! What do?

I was just able to configure P2pool. Starting next week, I will move all of my 500 MH/s to P2pool from deepbit. It is nice to have decentralized mining pool. I feel P2pool will be the future of bitcoin mining.
Why next week? January 27, 2012, 10:48:45 PM

2 blocks within 2 hours. That makes up for not hitting any block a few days ago.
Now, if we can hit a block an hour for the next day or so.......

Well the day before that zero block day a few days ago, we found five, so that day was already taken care of.
It's the last two zero block days that we need to make up for!
Anyway, try not to worry about it, it will even out over time.
I know, I was here for that 5 block day. I was quite happy when I got home from work and checked on it.

Yes! I finally got my first payout. It took awhile due to the bad luck recently, but it is worth the decentralization as well as not paying the fees.
January 27, 2012, 09:38:14 PM
Well I now have 2 payouts and had none 2 hours ago, so idk what is going on. Was there no subsidy payments today? My everything crashed overnight and I didn't notice until a few hours ago so that may have caused me some issues.
January 27, 2012, 09:26:20 PM
That looks like the new chain. The one from before must have been the older chain.
January 27, 2012, 09:20:14 PM
This one paid out for me.
January 27, 2012, 09:19:14 PM
Hmm... And you've assigned an address using -a? Someone more knowledgeable is probably going to have to help you!
I have not assigned an address using -a; the log seemed to indicate that during startup p2pool automatically asked my bitcoin-qt for a wallet address to use and has been using that one (said address shows up in my address list in the GUI as well).Was that the mistake? Is that address not really being used here?
January 27, 2012, 09:11:47 PM
I would think that if you have shares and we find a block, you should get a payout. It will show up as mined if you are using QT. If you are checking your balance with bitcoind, you have to wait 120 confirmations before it will show up.
See, the problem is that not only do I not see anything on QT, but I don't see my mining address in the payout section of the block either.Are you on the split chain? What is the pools hash rate on your P2Pool software?
Code:
2012-01-27 17:08:02.697145 Pool: 111GH/s in 17457 shares (26165/34750 verified) Recent: 0.41% >457MH/s Shares: 16 (0 orphan, 2 dead) Peers: 12 (0 incoming)

I find it fascinating how even while being split in two, with roughly ~115GH/s in the group using the new version and ~90GH/s in the group using the old version (if I'm reading things correctly and the Pool GH/s stat counts only verified shares of each fragment), that the p2pool is still correctly solving blocks and doling out rewards (to those that are in the fragment that actually solved the block, of course).
Could fragmentation actually be a good thing in the long run? Maybe the protocol could try to optimally split nodes by hashing capacity or locality? To how many GH/s can p2pool scale before bandwidth starts becoming an issue? Could rewards somehow get shared across these fragments, forming a sort of recursive tree structure? I'm just asking because 10 second rounds doesn't give the network much time to propagate the solved blocks to every node, and it seems possible that with many more miners in the pool there would be a lot of losses due to orphaned blocks.

i think the split part of the pool found a block
p2pool client:
"Payout if block: 0.087618 BTC"
http://blockchain.info/block-index/854582:
16fkg8GtdNbEvoJHRHJxhsNpTyxRbi8Twg 0.05413772 BTC

I'm pretty sure that's the actual P2Pool.

If anyone does not have the technical skill, time, hardware, or whatever to run their own instance of p2pool, feel free to point your miner to "p2pool.stitthappens.com:8336" with your username set to a bitcoin address and the password being w/e you want.
The more I look at it, the better I think p2pool is for bitcoin. Since it is non-trivial to run a p2pool node (although I wouldn't say it is hard), I'm willing to run this node for anyone.
If you use my node and want to donate something, I appreciate it. 1GH2r1uELMdn5726zxufpi5A3KswWNKU6Y
I've also setup a tor hidden service for access to p2pool: id7ibznt6zsfp4kr.onion
Not sure if there are any uses for mining over tor or how the latency affects stale rate, but what better way to know than to test?

Yes, seems so. Didn't get anything for this block 
I wonder, if this split will resolve itself eventually ?

Why 4 threads? cgminer I assume?
yep.i think 4 threads gave me a bit higher hashrate
January 27, 2012, 06:18:09 PM
Hmm..
So how long should it take for the p2pool stat to change?
Especially the "0H/s". Will it update once I solved my first share, or a few seconds after I start working with a connected miner?

Took me about 10-15 minutes as I recall (with just shy of 4GH/s).
