well this isnt working for me...
I used to mine about 0.6 btc/day. ive been mining at p2pool for 1.5 days now and still no payment. the console shows 0.28 btc if block found.... so instead of 1.8 btc, i earn 0.28 in the same time?
Where does the rest go....?

Variance. The pool has been unlucky for the past 36 hours, and such variance is to be expected for smaller pools.

However, tomorrow the pool could find 3 blocks or something. Alternatively, it may not. What matters is that in the long run, you likely earn MORE BTC than other pools due to the lack of fees, even WITH the variance.

P.S. My advice would be to be patient and try it out for 3 more days. A block will be found... eventually.

Getting numerous errors along these lines:

Cant tell whether this is a problem with twisted or p2pool, though it doesnt actually appear to affect function of p2pool. Just a tad annoying to see it frequently scrolling by.

For what its worth I'm running arch linux with twisted 11.1.0. Tried both p2pool 0.8.1 and latest git, happens on both.

If you use cgminer or BAMT there are monitors available.

I'm considering migrating a percentage of my hashing to P2Pool.
Is there any interface / utility / whatever to watch all the miners are working ?

Happy to see p2pool growing!

Is there someway to make a signature picture ?

Nope - It has been about 32 hours since last block...

Spurn wild goose chases. Seek that which endures.
When was the last time p2pool payed out? Been mining for about 20h now and wanted to check that I didn't "miss it" somehow due to misconfiguration on my end (given that the "average time between blocks" is being calculated as half a day).

win 7 and cgminer.. im at 8 connections on bitcoind never goes higher.  should I set it lower?

No don't set it lower. Your port isn't forwarded. And with that processor and RAM I doubt you can run Windows alone without spiking the CPU. If its a dedicated rig change it to Linux or upgrade hardware. Just my suggestion, someone else may have a different one.

meh perhaps.. I had p2pool and bitcoind running on my linux box and connected my miner.. it was fine.. probably just have to switch it back.  its not a huge issue.. just pops up that error every 5 mins or so.

nothing else is run on mine.. dedidicated miner.

What OS and miner? And have you tried limiting bitcoind connections (-maxconnections=x)?

I think it's going to depend on what else the computer is used for. I moved my bitcoind and p2pool nodes to a dedicated rig with a sempron and 2GB ram and haven't seen the error yet (only been a few hours). The computer they were on is more powerful but being used for many other things and I would get dozens of errors every hour.

i have a core i5 750 and it also happens to me once in a while

What is the likely cause of this?

Code:
 > Failure: twisted.internet.defer.TimeoutError: Getting http://127.0.0.1:8332/ took longer than 5 seconds.

Fairly frequent.  P2pool and bitcoind are running on the same system.

I get this also about once every 5 minutes.

I see the same error when running p2pool and bitcoind on the same (fairly underpowered) system, an asus eeebox with intel atom cpu.
There are load spikes every now and then where bitcoind and p2pool together peg the cpu at 100% and then these errors appear.

It seemed to cause more than average orphans and dead shares in my case so I now run p2pool and bitcoind on a faster system, and I've never seen the error there.


I have noticed it does occur when the cpu spikes to 100%.. would a sempron 145 and 2 gigs of ram be considered underpowered?

To get the per miner graphs...

I'm personally really happy about the new built in per-worker graphs:

[graphs removed --gmaxwell]


So you need to have several bitcoind's running with a different user pass in each?

We need a Message "You can connect the miner now!"

niooron, it doesnt need all 17k shares! As soon as its gets slow (1 share every 10 sec) you have all important shares! GUI and messages is realy crap!!!! FORREST CHANGE IT Grin

Where can I download the chain? I've been running p2pool for a day and it's at 12000/17000. It's so slow.

It's already done. You don't need them to all be verified to mine... That's a bit confusing.
