i used this guide and solo mined for a few days. after that i installed the p2pool version 13.4 and was mining bitcoins on p2pool with every one else and not solo mining. however, when i now want to solo mine and run the bat file, it connects to the bitcoin p2pool and is not solo mining any more. can anyone help me with this. i cant figure out why this is happening.
thanks.

I setup the Litecoin P2Pool but there is some mistake


You are using Scrypt miners to mine Litecoin correct?
You also did the extra step for Scrypt coins?


I cannot double check p2pool configs at the moment hardware fault with the box I was using for testing.
That and I have to revise the guide due to some changes in p2pool.
I'll update when I can.

Dear
I've tried to setup litecoin pool but there is mistake like that

f:\BitDig\Python\Lib\site-packages>run_p2pool.py --net "litecoin" --give-author
0.0 --no-bugreport --disable-upnp -a LNWPn9sDAkSoofaZSFQHj8Y6dSeC1ecjqR

    from . import networks, web, work

    litecoin=math.Object(

Just to let you all know that I've been tweaking the p2pool settings using the tutorials that up (such as: http://www.guugll.eu/guide-mining-efficiently-p2pool/) and to get your dead/orphan shares to go down and obtain better overall performance it's a matter of getting your miners to take "smaller bites" instead of the bigger ones they normally do. So far just setting the max connections to the suggested 20 in the .conf file made my dead and orphans shares drop like a rock. I'm using an S1 over WiFi so it was suggested to do something as such but it will be different depending on how your miner is set up. I'll still need to do more fiddling to get better performance but at least it a start.

EDIT: Lowering my block value has also done wonders for my share rate. So I guess we got our answer about the dead/orphans. Now if I can just get my stales to go down. Any ideas?

Constant, it doesn't seem to be affecting anything but it's annoying.

I do see the hash rash increasing over time and I' just read up on fine tuning the p2pool setting so I'll try that next.

Thanks for this thread, works great but I am getting a lot of dead shares. I have two questions:

If its dead share's as you just start mining this is normal as p2pool adjusts share difficulty against hashrate.
You can try:
Code:
+1 to 1000
After your coin address but it only seems to work for certain coins.

Quote

1. Do you know how to add coins to the networks.py that don't come with the p2pool originally?

It involves going through the coin source code of the one you want to add and adding the correct info manually.
Or just contact the Coin Developer and ask for the p2pool info that has to be added for p2pool mining to work.

2. I keep getting this error about a 'bad peer" being connected to itself. I thought it was the fact that I am using 127.0.0.1 in the config file but that wasn't it.

This is a new one.
Is this a random error or a constant one?

if i have multiple antminers, would i enter the same local bitcoin address for all the user name's or can i have different bitcoin addresses as well?
You can have a different or the same Bitcoin address for Each Ant if you want as long as its a local wallet (Not an Exchange address) you shouldn't have an issue getting payments.

Good job with this. Been looking for a guide for this for awhile now.
Much thanks.

Don't be sorry we all have to learn some way.

So your info for your Ants would be:
Code:
Your S1 Mining entries would be:
192.168.0.200:9332
"ALocalBitcoinaddress"

Sorry about this. Guess its meant for people with a decent level of IT knowledge.


This is my networks.py:

        CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares

I'm following this guide but still keep getting: "Local: 0H/s in last 0.0 seconds Local dead on arrival"

I think I'm getting confused over the IP addresses and ports.

My conf file is as follows:

server=1
rpcuser=ads2003uk
rpcpassword=RANDOMLETTERS
rpcallowip=192.168.0.200
rpcport=17444
port=17334

My S1 pool entries are:
192.168.0.200:17334
ads2003uk
SAMERANDOMLETTERS

and still nothing, where am I going wrong?
In the past 4days between my 5 S1's I've found 2 blocks on Ghash.io (thats what the console tells me) so I'd like to have a crack at solo with them.

Seeing there seems to be some problem getting the right info in the right spot.

Code:
server=1
rpcuser=ads2003uk
rpcpassword=RANDOMLETTERS
rpcallowip=192.168.0.200
rpcport=17444
port=17334
That goes into your "coin.conf" file.

Code:
My S1 pool entries are:
192.168.0.200:17334
ads2003uk
SAMERANDOMLETTERS

This is incorrect.
It's:
Code:
IP address of the p2pool server and its worker port. NOT the port of the wallet Client Server. You can check what port in networks.py in p2pool or it's shown when you first start p2pool.
Coinyourmining address to send payments to MUST be a local wallet
"x" as password or anything it's ignored

Strictly speaking, this can not be considered solo mining, another recent p2pool hashrate very low, so it seems worthwhile

ok, but that is not what I've asked, a guide has been written, and I'm asking for clarification.

It's not just BTC im interested in doing but other ALTcoins.

Can you assist?
