Resurrecting this thread because I can't find an answer. I cannot get p2pool working with blades under ~30-45% rejects/stales. It hashes at full speed when pointed directly to p2pool (10.7GH/s 99% efficiency reported by blade), but interestingly it reports that it's hashing at about half that (~5.5GH/s lower efficiency) when using the bfgminer getwork proxy.
I'm using +1 after the miner name, which helped stabilize the rejects a bit, but didn't solve the issue. Is this just a limitation with these blades that cannot be overcome?
Topic: Can Erupter Blade be used with p2pool? (Read 2920 times)
I tried using the stratum proxy from here: https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy
But I get this error when trying to connect to it using a local miner to test.
Any advice?

You guys are running p2pool 13.3, aren't you?
Yes, I just got the latest version just before I posted. Sure BE somewhat works without stratum, but why stratum proxy does not work with p2pool?
Blades can be used with p2pool direclty, without stratum proxy. However due to the poor way they work (mainly no LP support), they lose about 30% in efficiency.

Thanks a lot for the info Guy's. Currently I have stratum proxy working and pointing to http://50btc.com. I can see blade mining properly. but if change the stratum proxy to connect to p2pool, the blade stops working, it gets no work. So it seems like p2pool issue. But if I connect the blade directly to the p2pool then the blade gets work but all work that is submitted this way causes an error "share hash > target" in the p2pool logs.
When I run the stratum proxy with verbose on, I see the following error in it's log
INFO proxy client_service.handle_event # New job 124360118874900773260691942609319532920 for prevhash 794b3be3, clean_jobs=True
2013-09-02 09:57:28,720 DEBUG protocol protocol.writeJsonResponse # < {"error": null, "id": 916376870, "result": null}
Is there any specific version for stratum proxy I should be using?

I am having the same problem with exactly hash>target error with blade connected to p2pool directly. If I use stratum proxy, after the same message, it says it got disconnected. Did you find a solution?

Like I said I don't use P2pool, but I would double check to make sure the ports you are listening too with your Proxy are "getwork" protocol ports IE (8332 default setting). Is p2pool stratum compatible? I don't know.
p2pool does getwork and stratum on the normal ports by default. The ports are listed in the p2pool console when it initially starts.

Is p2pool stratum compatible? I don't know. Double check configuration to ensure you are connecting to a "stratum" protocol port on p2pool. Have you tried connecting directly to that port on p2pool with the blade configuration, bypassing the stratum proxy?

It should work OK. I suspect there's something amiss with the p2pool node, rather than the Blade.
Hi,
Here are some initial troubleshooting steps.
I would first look to make sure you have 2 pools configured in your blade set up. For now, they can be set to the same pool. So, that means two sets of server ID's , and two sets of logon ID:Passwords.
The server IP's and the addresses need to be separated by comma. The userid and password pairs separated by a colon. ':' .
Like so
PORTS 8332,8332
SERVER ADDRESSES 192.168.0.10,192.168.0.10
USER:PASS USERID:PASSWORD,USERID:PASSWORD
( Of course use the IP's and ports of your stratum proxy server not the above values. ) :-)
Restart the blade and look at the output of your stratum proxy server to see if it starts getting work.
The stratum proxy log should look something like this :
If you get any errors, you have something configured wrong somewhere, or p2pool not set up correctly.
as a secondary troubleshooting step, configure your stratum proxy to point to a public mining pool. http://hhtt.1209k.com/ is easy to use and doesnt require you to sign-up
Restart your stratum proxy to the following host and port.
Host stratum.hhtt.1209k.com port 3333
When you restart your stratum proxy, look at the log and watch for it connect to the hhtt pool and start listening for workers. If you see any errors, somehting is wrong with your stratum proxy setup.
Now, change your logins in your blade configuration to your own valid bitcoin address as the username and anything you like as the password and restart.
This should get you mining to the hhtt pool. If this works fine then there is something wrong with the p2pool configuration.
Cheers

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I do have stratum proxy in place.
p2pool -- Stratum Proxy -- BE Blade
But when I set it up in this way, blade does not receiver and work. It just sits ideal.

Hi,
I cant answer your question about P2Pool. Probably best to post in that thread. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1500-th-p2pool-decentralized-dos-resistant-hop-proof-pool-18313
You can download the stratum proxy from this site --->> https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining-proxy
Instructions on how to run are included.
You can monitor your mining effort a few ways, On your blade configuration screen, at the pool you are mining into and the strum proxy output. They all have different levels of user friendliness.
If you use p2pool, there are graphs and charts available to you for statistics on your workers.
Happy Mining!

Is it possible to use erupter blade with p2pool and stratum proxy? How can I setup stratum proxy and how to monitor the mining effort?
Thank you
Thank you
