P2Pool which website? P2Pool.in or P2Pool.org?



P2pool can be through any public node or your own personal node, they all connect together into one large pool.

Public nodes: http://p2pool-nodes.info/

http://p2pool.in/ is the main info site for setting up p2pool node yourself.

P2pool.org is a fake p2pool (as noted in the small text on bottom of the site, "not affiliated with p2pool and forrestv". They just took advantage of the name).

Elizium.name is a popular public p2pool node... And I have a public node listed in my sig.



Just a point of clarification, I believe that p2pool.org is a node in the p2pool network given the software being used, the network hash rate shown the comments from p2pool.org in the p2pool software section.  The statement in their footer is just clarifying that they are not forrestv nor the home of the p2pool software - unless of course their stats etc are all fake.

There are a number of public p2pool nodes as you say.



I'm just going by the common "wisdom" that gets passed around the forums and reddit every few weeks/months:
http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1vizp3/psa_p2poolorg_is_not_the_real_p2pool/
I see posts like this all the time...

If they're a valid node, they really should re-evaluate their disclaimer.  Saying they don't represent p2pool and forrestv, but are a valid node of the P2Pool network for the various coins they support would be much better than saying, "not affiliated with p2pool and forrestv" which gives a connotation of being totally separate from the rest of the P2Pool network.

It's much clearer with your p2pool.com in your sig.

Great benchmark thread.
Any chance you could throw GHash.io into the mix?

I know, I know, we don't want to have the same "oh noes GHash.io is gonna take over the network PANIC" we recently had, but hear me out.  If we had a reasoned and documented benchmark like you're doing here that compared the top pools like BTCGuild and GHash.io with p2pool and spread word of this on Reddit and elsewhere, given positive results for p2pool in comparison, we may be able to sway some hashpower to public or local nodes of p2pool.  Just a few switch overs could make a decent difference in the overall health of the Network.  P2pool has been suffering from lack of overall hashpower vs the rest of the network and has been relatively flat in growth for a long while now.

That said I still think BTCGuild is the best centralized pool overall and Eleuthuria does an outstanding job that's well worth the 3%. He's always top of the list for my failover pools.

Sometimes (ex. when payout queue is very long) wizkid057 would make manual payout with normal transaction,
it is not unusual.

Here is result of next round benchmark
1-14  Feb 2014: p2pool - BTC3.2248 VS btcguild (PPLNS) - BTC2.7164 VS Eligius BTC2.5137

As we can see this period p2pool is in favor.
Strange thing with eligius.st - on stats page eligius reports BTC2.5137 but real payout for the to address is only 2.0026

So if I have 1 Antminer S1, would you suggest to use btcguild (PPLNS) ?

How about Slush pool?

The math shows that p2pool will come out better over time (plus lower fees, in theory lower orphans, mining right to your own address so no worries about lost/stolen coins), many people are impatient or haven't read enough and won't give p2pool a few months to show its benefits. 

The OP is discussing doing a longer-term test to show this.  Pools have plenty of variance so even if the math shows that p2pool is going to come out ahead, there are weeks where it won't.  And visa versa, weeks where it would come out way ahead.

Why is there no fixed costs?
The pool operates need to maintain both the software and hardware, and need to deal with problems like DDoS.

Irrelevant for the given calculators.  Despite this, hosted hardware is cheap, software is easy to maintain and DDoS can be mitigated.  The expenses are a very small amount of the net generated. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against people profiting from their services.  I've been using BTC Guild since early '13 but I have been pondering moving some of my miners over to p2pool like the OP (which we have hijacked the thread).
