Hmm..
So how long should it take for the p2pool stat to change?

Quote

22:29:17.321000 Pool: 97434MH/s in 17642 shares (9305/21649 verified) Recent: 0.
00% >0H/s Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Peers: 9

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?

Oh. I'm not sure how that one works. H/s is output in so many places lol

So I will solve shares in hours, and the stated mh/s is calculated by the solving-rate of shares?

The MH/s is the total number of hashes (good or bad) per second. It has nothing to do with the solving rate.

OH!
No, I left it running for several minutes only!

So I "gave up" pretty close to the goal.. heh
Will leave it runnign for a good while now.

Thank you a lot for your quick help, Qoheleth! :-)

Finally I got around playing with p2pool.
Friend and me have several miners, once I get p2pool running on one, I will merge them all.
Windows machines, unfortunately..

It seems like bitcoin / bitcoind connect to the net and let p2pool connect.
p2pool seems to be receiving work from bitcoin.
poclbm seems to connect to p2pool too.

However, no work seems to be actually done.

I tried guiminer too, it says 286 mhash, no idea where these are going to..

Excerpts from what the shells tell:

p2pool:
c:\programme\python\python.exe c:\programme\p2pool\run_p2pool.py
xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx -a xxxxxxxxxx

Glad for any hints..
And just so you know: Getting that stuff done on Windows was no pleasant experience so far. Will never ever give up my Debian here! :-)
If someone asks, I'll paste my super-condensed step-by-step for p2pool with guiminer/poclbm on windows.

Grateful for any ideas you have!

How long did you leave it running before deciding that no work is being done? Shares are harder on p2pool than other pools; one is handed out about every 10 seconds, in much the same way Bitcoin makes a block every 10 minutes. So with 286Mhash, after one hour of running there's only a 65% chance that you'll have gotten your first share.

Why 4 threads? cgminer I assume?

Merit: 0

so. on the fast client:
reduced the gpu threads from 4 to 2: 1/33 rejected
reduced to 1 gpu thread 0/50 rejected
I guess when the difficulty is lower there were fewer "races" between the threads

at the fast pace its ~10% in the cgminer ui
i have ~200mhash, it will take a while before i can see anything useful at the low rate...

the normal p2pool client was solving for the right difficulty ~200
the git one goes a lot faster and cgminer reports a lot of rejects
p2pool reports just a few shares like before - but more of them are dead
so i want to set the difficulty back to its proper value...

It going a lot faster is useful because you can see how well your miner is doing. If you a lot of rejects (>5%) on your miner, something is definitely wrong with it.

so i want to set the difficulty back to its proper value and see if cgminer still gets the rejects

i am getting dead shares with the git version.
which part of the code sets the difficulty lower for debugging?

The difficulty is always low whether you use --debug or not. The relevant code is on line 474 in main.py - "target = 2**256//2**32 - 1". If you want to change the minimum difficulty back to 8, you can replace it with "target = 2**256//2**32//8 - 1", though I'm not sure why you'd want to.

Looks like the pool may be going through a two-way chain split ATM. There are twice as many shares on the network as there are verified shares.

Code:

2012-01-27 21:23:55.012000 Pool: 90535MH/s in 17326 shares (17349/34619 verified) Recent: 0.68% >612MH/s Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Peers: 10 (0 incoming)

I suggest that everyone upgrade their versions ASAP!

You can get a copy of the current developer version from https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/downloads , or you could use a git client.

EDIT: Added link to https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/zipball/master to first post.
