Topic: Additional subsidy for P2Pool users: 1-3btc/day - page 2. (Read 29282 times)

That address has indeed been paid for the blocks that P2Pool found. The problem seems to be you aren't seeing it in your balance.

Is this address in the wallet of the client that you are using to mine with P2Pool or did you specify another address?

Sure, here you go:


This script assumes that you have bitcoind running as a server with an account called "p2p_donations" but it's easy enough to change.  Just schedule it to run at midnight, the sleep command will delay the execution randomly up to 24hrs.  It counts the number of digits in the whole number balance of the account and sends that many BTC, appending the transaction id to a log file.

0-9 balance - 1 BTC
10-99 balance - 2 BTC
100-999 balance - 3 BTC
etc

Gotcha, thanks.
Sorry for the mis-post in the wrong thread, thanks for answering anyway.

I'm trying to start mining in P2Pool, but this part is fuzzy to me.
Where do I "supply P2Pool with a bitcoin address to mine".
Does that get added to the .conf file?
I'm confused (and a little slow)

Correct. Well, you have to supply P2Pool with a bitcoin address to mine. That is all.

Hi coretechs!

 Can you share your "donation script" with us?!

 I want to setup the same scheme for the Litecoin P2Pool miners...

 Right now, I just put a cronjob to donate everyday the same amount, at the same time of day... But I would like to have the same behavior of your setup, I mean, send donations according to the balance, etc...

Thanks!

You could trust my cron job to do it for you.  

It will send a fixed amount once per day at a random time to miners at p2pool.  The amount is based on the balance at the following address:

BTC ADDR REMOVED

Any donations to this address will be sent to the p2pool miners

The job script is dynamic and sends a fixed amount based on the balance of the address in the wallet.

1-10 balance -  1 BTC per day
10-99 balance - 2 BTC per day
100-999 balance - 3 BTC per day
etc.

This should work for now.  I can change the daily amount later if a lot of people start donating.  I will fund it with the remaining 9 BTC of my pledge later this evening.  If I decide to stop the job from running at any point, the remaining balance will be sent to all miners in the pool at that time.  I just set this up to take care of my donations so I don't have to send them manually but I figured why not open it up to anyone else.

(1/20/12): 9 BTC sent.  You can track the deposits here ("Received"): http://blockexplorer.com/address/**BTC ADDR REMOVED**
(1/21/12): had to do some wallet cleanup, address now shows correct balance of XX.XXX  (XX BTC - X BTC & txn fees)
(1/24/12): donation history updated, current balance is XX.XXXXYYYY
(1/26/12): added some better logging that I will include in the donation history going forward
(2/7/12): minor network issue last night prevented the donation from being sent, so two payments were sent this morning
(2/8/12): made some changes to the script to adjust the timing intervals, additional payment sent yesterday

You remember correctly. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.685169

A few posts above yours.

The smaller miners are entered into a lottery. I assume this has something to do with cutting down on the amount of very tiny transactions that these small miners would get when 1 Bitcoin is divided among all of the miners in P2Pool.

I will wait for the OP, and if that fails send it to Holliday. Thanks.

Your calculations look a bit off. Address 14UEaiW2Rwqbv3iJAKVwjS6ZGZqaxp9c1Y should get at least twice, if not five times as much 

Sure there is!

To the address ...
