Friedcat sayd 15TH end of the week. So i guess we will be mining for over 15% network power for a few weeks at least.

9864 GH/s!  I'm bursting with excitement Smiley

And now passed 10 TH/s! Cool

Efficiency was close to zero with an Avalon mining stratum on p2pool.
Odd and worrying: you are not the only one having tried mining on p2pool with Avalons. I don't follow it closely (forums are not really the best for bug reports, I have to work from memory and I'm on painkillers right now...) but I know people have managed to bring Avalons at least in the 50-75% efficiency range right from the beginning and made progress from this point (maybe not with stratum).

I suspect there's at least one Avalon user on P2Pool for quite some time now which uses it without apparent problems given his payouts (185Kip6odGYs4eSHD6DYsWVDJBg2DNLfiV since 2013-09-04 with an effective ~65GH/s hashrate).

It was a bug in Avalon's fork of cgminer, which Avalon refused to fix.

forrest, the guy who wrote p2pool, ended up fixing it on his end which isn't an appropriate way of fixing it. Avalon users mine on p2pool fine now.
This is wrong too. The latest version of the Avalon code runs current cgminer code which I wrote myself. Running the latest version of the Avalon firmware+cgminer software with the latest version of p2pool, the stratum problem remains. P2pool stratum needs work...

Nice stats. And now we are at 9.563TH at btcguild... Its going forward... *g*

about to hit 10ghs  yey!

Heading to 15TH/s or more in the following 7 days.

Seems like a lot of work for the next few days, but would be awesome!  Grin
We're at 9 TH/s again on BTCGuild  Cool

Just updated my Hashrate sheets with the network percentage over time. I really hope we are getting a bit above the ~13% we're on for the last weeks Smiley

The sample batch will be ready in 5 days.

Also, we will announce more news before the next update.

Would really like to see some pictures of that!  Cool

variance is a non issue with so much of the total hasing power.
solo mining should be a no brainer.

He mines to multiple pools.  I think two are on the same machine?  Not sure..

But his efficiency rating would be higher if he sent me a msg and told me his IPs, unblocked them (right now the nodes I know he uses don't allow incoming connections) for my IP and let me connect  Grin

well, most chinese nodes i have seen on p2pool struggle to get to 100% because of the latency issues involved.

uh, i havent been following asicminer at all, so i dont know what the hash rate is, but i'd imagine it's around 1/2 of what p2pool has now?  so that alone should get efficiency rates above 100%, as you'd be orphaning many other ppl's shares by getting multiples in a row...  well, if you wanted to be a jerk about it and play it the most profitable way.   the best way for p2pool would be to set a difficulty at whatever the maximum allowed is or something like 50-100k, then ppl with lower hashrates would still have a chance to get something.

i have hong kong dedi that gets about 220ms to my germany server, duno what asicminer uses


(yeah, 9thash, uh, that'd be like 12x what's on p2pool right now?  so I guess everyone else would leave.  but setting up own p2pool network or own pool software with merged mining wouldnt be a bad idea)

(ed: it's 4:30am.  is 9thash btcguild total?  what amt is asicminer?  p2pool is only like 750ghash)

It only moves the situation from BTCGuild's "problem" to Asicminers'.  It doesn't solve the underlying problem of a single large hasher.

I fail to see how some one entity having 10%, 15% or even 20% of the hashing power represents a "problem".  Care to explain, or better yet, rather than gumming up this thread, create/link to the thread that explains your viewpoint?

Don't send me a pm unless you gpg encrypt it.
This also helps out with BTCGuild's situation of being in possession of too much hashing power.

As I said - go read the p2pool thread ... sigh.

The reason why Josh has sent a Jalapeno to forrestv is coz even a 5GH/s device makes p2pool use up 100% CPU and cause immense problems when it is talking to the other p2pools.
It's also most likely directly related to the issue with Avalons.

Edit: and you even posted (after it) on the page that has the discussion ... I take it reading the posts in the p2pool thread is too boring?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1970271

No, I've read it. ckolivas doesn't report his node efficiency, so his post doesn't exhibit any problem until he reports it. If you still don't understand that stales on p2pool are not a problem if you have around 100% efficiency, there's not much I can do to explain it further...

Maybe solo mined blocks have address tags like they do in blockchaininfo so shareholders can monitor.  Or is that a bad idea?

A comment can be attached to the coinbase.
