That was what I thought, just needed for verify. I have it set up as option 1. 3.2MH/s up and running. Do I need to run a wallet app on the mining rigs themselves, or just on the central computer where the coins are deposited?

Yes, there's no problem with doing that.  If you install the wallet on one computer you can do one of 2 things:

1.  Create 5 separate Infinitecoin addresses in that single wallet.  Then use one of each of those addresses as your username for mining on each of your 5 rigs.  This is the way I'd recommend, as you can then identify on the block explorer how much each individual address (ie each individual rig) is receiving.  It will also be easier to identify if you have problems with one particular rig.

or

2.  Create one single address in the wallet and use that same address on all of the 5 rigs.  This would give you one address with the total hashpower of all 5 rigs.  I wouldn't recommend this over the first option though, as this would make it more difficult to identify any issues that may occur with any single rig.

Is there a way I can set up a miner to send coins to a specific, centralized wallet? I have 2 big rigs and 3 smaller rigs that are mining. I like the wallet idea but I dont like the idea of 5 separate wallets on each computer.

Ok thanks a ton. Can do

hodger and eServiZes.com...Regarding the gaps in payment, these are because the pool's share difficulty has increased over the last month.  At your own fixed hasrate there will be longer gaps between you finding shares.  If this gap between you finding a share is longer than the time that it takes for payouts from your last share to run out, you'l have a gap in actual payments until you find that next share.

The increase in the pool's share dificulty is is due to the increased total pool hashrate.  P2Pool sets the difficulty dynamically as the total pool hashrate changes, with the aim to keep a certain period between the pool distributing each share.  Currently that time is set as 30 seconds.

I've been thinking about reducing the time between shares to a lower timescale.  This would have the effect of reducing the share difficulty, which would make it easier for everyone to find shares, and would mean fewer and smaller gaps between payments.   I've posted a poll today at http://infinitecointalk.org/index.php/topic,1083.0.html  and would be grateful if all current TreasureQuarry miners would vote on what they would prefer.

eServiZes.com, when you're talking about the comparison between your desktop of  shares accepted, I presume you mean pseudo-shares reported by your miner, as  the +numbers after your IFC wallet address  result in low-difficulty psuedo-shares (for which you're not credited with payments) being reported.
 
At a steady hashrate of 20kh/s  and a pseudo-share difficulty of +0.00001164 your miner should report roughly the same pseudo-shares over a certain period as another computer mining at  330 kh/s with a pseudo-share difficulty set at +0.0001920798.  I wouldn't recommend keeping a 10kh/s setting for a 330 kh/s miner as you may get unexpected behaviour.

If you're still getting unusual pseudo-share reporting, could you tell me which mining program you're using (and version if known) and the command line/settings that you're using.  

Capttech08, great to hear that your wallet is synched and your mined coins are showing there.  A bit of an eeeeeeek about using the Cryptsy address though - that's a big no-no.   The reason is that newly-generated coins (which is how p2pool distributes your mining) are very difficult for exchanges to identify as belonging to your specific Infinitecoin (or other coin) address.  You'll need to contact Cryptsy support and ask them nicely to pick out each individual transaction from its transaction number which you can get from the block explorer.      

Good news. Wallet is synced and I show a balance and unconfirmed IFC now. Is there a way to retrieve the nearly 19k IFC from the other address though?

I have been mining IFC for about 24 hours on a single gpu just to test it out. It has been running solid at 820kh/s. The website shows I should have pay outs (or I am reading it wrong) - but I have not had any payouts received. I used a Cryptsy deposit address and  I know it said not to, but I figured it would work. The address is iPh6egDPgKEDb51D3TwxEoo1AiTxbErwUG - http://exploretheblocks.com:2750/address/iPh6egDPgKEDb51D3TwxEoo1AiTxbErwUG

I did download an IFC wallet about 2 hours ago but I'm still waiting for it to sync to the network. TBH, I've never used a computer based wallet program so I'm not too sure how it all works yet, but I think I can figure that part out.

Please let me know how to get this thing paying out. I love the idea of infinitecoin and would switch all my miners if I can get the payout issue fixed.

Thanks!

Anyone having issues with this pool recently?  I've been mining for a couple of hours in the last 24 approx 500khash, and no payout.  Whereas payouts were pretty frequent before.

EDIT: And literally *as* I hit the post button, may payouts start flowing in

deathmedic, try increasing your pseudo-share difficulty to +0.00029103 .  This may decrease your dead share rate a little.

Regarding the amounts of each individual payment, as you see, p2pool is a very dynamic system.  According to the p2pool wiki at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool "Payouts are weighted based on the amount of work each share took to solve, which is proportional to the p2pool difficulty at that time."  This doesn't really tell us much however and I've never been able to find anything in the p2pool code to help give specific calculations to explain how each individual payment is calculated.  The details are in the code somewhere but unfortunately p2pool is coded in python which isn't a lanuage I know much about anyway, so I'm searching in an unfamilar haystack.

The best thing to do is to look over a reasonable timescale of a few days to see what you get from p2pool, keeping a close eye on how the global IFC hashrate averages over that same period.  Then pop your hashrate and global IFC difficulty into the calculator at http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/infinitecoin-mining-calculator .  Allowing for variance depending on your luck, you should end up with the right ballpark figure for your pool income by extrapolating the "Estimated Expected Earnings".  The longer the time period you look over, the less variance you should have.

Ok So I got my stuff figured out and am running at 400 K.... My question is I am using the +0.00029103
Is there a better number I should be using?
Also is there a way to drop the number of dead shares I'm getting (about 10%) and the payouts seem kinda random... Like They will start at 30 build up to 200 but then drop back to 30 (Average is about 100).

Thanks

Hello boodaddy and welcome to TreasureQuarry.

For 1,400kh/s I'd recommend a using a pseudo-share difficulty of +0.001629796   (ie 0.00116414/1000*1400).  

Yes, for the second card at 700kh/s, a  pseudo-share difficulty  +0.00087310 would be good.

Remember you don't get credited with payments for the  pseudo-shares - they're mainly used to help give a good representation of your hashrate and to help create your graphs.  You'll start getting payments when you find real shares whose difficulty you can find on the right hand side of the stats page at http://treasurequarry.com:9844/static/

Using the same payment address for your two different systems wouldn't mess anything up.  It would just be like mining with one big system with the total combined hashrate of the two systems.  You may find it helpful creating a separate address for each system though - then if you have problems you can easier see which of your two systems may be causing troubles.  It's entirely up to you which way you choose.

Hello,

I just got three Gigabyte R9 280x and want to mine with your pool. I am trying to figure out the best way to do this as one of the systems has two R9 280x 1,400KH/S and the second system has 1 280x 700KH/S Can I use the same address for both? or will that mess something up cause I am using two different systems? I am going to be getting the rest of the parts next month, and will have two systems running at 5,600KH/S

1. What would the difficulty be for 1,400KH/S Can I use the difficulty you have for 1000KH/S which would be closest, or is there a better number?
2. I was planning on using (750 +0.00087310) for the second card running at 700KH/S correct?
3. Would using the same payment address for two different systems mess something up?

Appreciate your time, and any help or advice you can offer.

Merry Christmas, Tino and everyone.

Yes, you can just create a new bat file and an appropriate conf file and you should be up and running.  There's a thread at https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11204.0 which gives some suggested settings for a SAPPHIRE HD 7970 GHz Edition 6GB GDDR5 VAPOR-X.  

Mery Xmas all,

I would like to try with a HD7970
I'm a total noob haha so let me ask: can I just copy my miner and change bat file and conf?
I have the wallet it's working... 

JBullFrog, now that the pool is hashing away at a total of 35 to 50 mh/s, hashrate graphs for smaller miners seem to only show as spikes every now and then.  I've looked at other p2pools with similar total hashrates, and this seems to be a standard thing with p2pool.  Graphs for miners with hashrates in the low kh/s either don't show, or show as intermittently spikey with gaps between spikes (see p2pool org's litecoin p2pool for example which has a total pool hashrate of around 40mh/s at http://p2pool.org:20775/static/graphs.html?Day  ).  I'm not sure why this is, but I'd guess it may be something inbuilt in p2pool to minimise the size of the graph database by avoiding lots of small datapoints.  It's an annoying "feature" but shouldn't affect your actual earnings.

At your mining speed of 5 to 8 kh/s (lets say 6.5 as an average) and the pool's current share difficulty of 0.265, you're likely to find a share in about 2.03 days according to the Summary on the Infinitecoin calculator at Coinwarz.   As it states theres, this can vary greatly depending on your luck.  Once you've found a share you'll get a run of payments starting from when TreasureQuarry finds its next block. This will then continue until the share runs out (unless you found a second or further share before the initial share ran out, in which case payments will continue until that second or further share etc runs out).  You'll then need to find another share to then start another run of payments .

peb0t, I've only got one very slow graphics card so I cant speak from experience but as far as I understand you should be able to either point both of your 2 graphics cards at the pool using the same IFC address to receive your coins, or you can point them each at the pool using a different IFC address for each card.  You should even be able to point them at different pools if you want.  A couple of threads may help:

Guys.

If i have 2 graphics, should i put a different direction for each one or put the same direction for both graphics?

My address is : iHiPSJ7f2dEfryCs1Br4QtgXq2EvpimFzy

I am running at approx. 5-8kH

Thank you. That did the trick.

How long should it take my address to show up on the statistics graph?

crafty, you're probably getting confused, as some others have, with pseudo-share and real shares.  You're only paid for real shares, not the low difficulty pseudo-shares which are use to help display your graphs and report your hashrate.  Please see the bitcoin p2pool wiki at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool , in particular...
JBullFrog, your minerd program seems to want to be in the same folder as your Infinitecoin program.

Infinitecoin-qt is just your main infinitecoin program (the one that you run to view your wallet, and use to send and to receive coins etc).  Locate the folder on our computer where that Infitecoin program is.  We'll call this your "Infinitecoin program folder"  

Then locate where your minerd program is.  We'll call this your "minerd program folder".

Copy (or move) your minerd program  and also any .dll files from your "minerd program folder" to your to  "Infinitecoin program folder"   (If you can't see any .dll fils in your  "minerd program folder" you may need to change your folder viewing options to allow hidden files)

You should then be good to go.




peb0t , share difficulty for the pool, as shown on http://treasurequarry.com:9844/static/ is currently 0.311 as I write this.  Share difficulty rises and falls depending on the total pool hashrate.  On Wednesday when you wrote your post the total pool hashratte was a bit lower so lets estimate a share difficulty of 0.25 then.

 Based on 0.25 share difficulty and 650kh/s the calculator at coinwarz estimates that you'd find one share in about  0.02 days (or 0.48 hours).   As it says on that page, this "can vary greatly depending on your luck".  

To allow your luck to balance out you'd need to look at a longer timescale than just half an hour's mining.  Think of it like tossing a coin. On average you'd get heads one out of 2 throws but often you can do 2 throws and get 2 tails.  Over the longer time though your coin tosses average out to 1 in 2 heads.



toasterthegamer, the way that p2pool works is that once you find a share you start getting payments when p2pool next finds a block.  Payments then continue to be made to you when subsequent blocks are found by the pool until that share runs out.  

To start getting another run of payments you need to find another share. How long this takes depends on the pool's share difficulty, your hashrate, luck and whether you're mining contantly at a constant hashrate or on-and-off.



I've added a bit to the first post in this thread by the way, reminding people to give their mining address and the hashrate reported by their miner when asking questions regarding to their mining.  This would really be appreciated as it really helps give more specific answers.

When I started here, things were fine for days before the bullshit began..

Most will let their guard down after a few hours of normalcy. Treasurescammer banks on it.
