Can you explain why p2pool doesn't support rewards less than 0.01 NVC?
Does it mean that output less than 0.01 is non-spendable?

The NVC & PPC transaction minimum outpoint value is 0.01 coin, this protocol limitation was introduced in order to prevent high amounts of unspendable "dust" creation. It's simply impossible to create valid block with such transaction.

Then considering how different are rewards and monetary bases of PPC and NVC could be this minimum value lowered?
to 0.001 or 0.0001?

Oh, this is actually quite nice. Now I'm a big fan of P2Pool. It just took some time in the beginning until P2Pool program showed anything, now it's flooding with information. And those statistics, very nice!

It's spamming my vallet with ~0.2 NVC payouts, usually I don't like spam but this is definitely positive spam Grin

P2Pool(s) do need more advertising, they are highly undervalued ATM.

NVC implementation of P2Pool uses PPLNS with N=2880 (shares spacing is 30 seconds approximately, so 2880 shares is 1 day), but minimal payment is 0.01 coin. It will pay you for each block found by pool, according to proportion in last 2880 shares.

Is there a way to see how much I have made as NVC so far

You can see your estimated reward at the statistics page, it's available at http://127.0.0.1:8336/static/

If you want a profit calculator, you can use this one http://nvc.khore.org/calc

Quote

what is the expected payment cycle with around 2Mhash

With the current pool hash rate average round time is 10 minutes.

If you have no such hash rate to get enough proportion in last 2880 shares, you can mine at http://nvc.khore.org. It has no payment limits and mined coins are available after 10 confirmations. But it's centralized... Wink

Hi,

Is there somewhere a detailed guide on how to use p2pool with nvc?

The readme file attached was not helpful to me at all using the precomplied .exe.

Thanks,
balu

It's quite simple.

1) You need to run novacoin client in server mode, just like in case of solo mining. Create file novacoin.conf in

C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Roaming\NovaCoin

with contents like this:

Quote

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
server=1

2) Start client and wait for syncronization proccess
3) Double-click on run_p2pool.exe, wait until shares chain download will be completed
3) Point your miners to http://any_user:[email protected]:8336/

But remember that you need enough hashing power to get at least 0.01 coin in PPLNS reward, because NVC/PPC has no support for outpoints volume less than 0.01 coin. It's serious limitation, I'm agree.

That was easy to set up. Is there a way to see how much I have made as NVC so far, and what is the expected payment cycle with around 2Mhash?

Hi.

NVC pool at nvc.khore.org was migrated to new dedicated server yesterday. We are still solving some issues with DB and network, but I believe the major problems are now fixed. If you find any other problem, please contact me directly.

Cheers,
khaos

Accidentally uploaded the damaged 0.3.5 files, removed it and now uploading right files. I'm sorry for that. Sad

P.S. It seems that in the future I also will provide sha256 checksums list for binaries. Roll Eyes

I can't find the NovaCoin Binaries. Only P2Pool for Novacoin. Something wrong?

You're right, the binaries have disappeared. Seems to be something wrong with them...

Looks good to mine, might make a mining rig for altcoins.

It's because there are only ~240k coins available for operations. Emission is very slow.

Why is this coin so high in price for an altcoin?
