You've been misinformed. The GPU comment was a "what the heck do you _think_ is mining on P2Pool", and yes, I was laughing at people's capacity to buy into FUD and misinformation. Don't take it too personally.

The issue with higher-than-desired rate of stale shares has been resolved with P2pool ?

Sorry for the derail, but it was my understanding that you will lose close to 1% of your work to stales on p2pool vs ~0.1% stales on other pools.

Is that no longer the case ?

I've been nagging them to post their firmware sources since they started shipping products so I could fix it and I guess they've been too busy.

Is that not a violation of GPL? Both cgminer and openwrt are GPL'd...

Good luck with someone suing them through the Chinese courts Wink

I said nothing about GPU's. I was referring to anecdotes I have heard that mining with ASIC's on P2Pool was not optimal vs other pools.
Thanks for the LOL. Helpful and classy.

P2Pool works absolutely fantastically on most asics. My avlons are at about 115% PPS on P2pool (both from reviving fees and because p2pool appears to do better than expected, potentially because of the faster block relaying giving it an advantage over other pools).

Sadly, the little CPUs on the antminers combined with their old cgminer version is absolutely taxed beyond belief, and they don't work fantastically on P2Pool right now— stale rate roughly 5x the avalons. I've been nagging them to post their firmware sources since they started shipping products so I could fix it and I guess they've been too busy.

They apparently bumped the version of cgminer in their latest firmware. I haven't tried with p2pool yet though.

you realise that you left the 30% network hashrate pool for the 25% network hashrate pool? It would be much better to move hashrate to pools like slush's or elegius or p2pool

Slush doesn't have the "bells and whistles" I enjoy, have ideological issues with Luke-Jr/Eligius that prevents me from mining there, and P2Pool is not optimal for ASICs IIRC :|

Tried Bitminter for a couple months, but did not provide me the stats/graphs that I enjoy dorking out over.

BTCG has always been solid for me and I appreciate how active Eleuthria is in the community.

too high fees for me ...

Ghash.io decided to change the stratum addresses (or more specifically, turn off nl1.ghash.io:3334) overnight. I woke up to angrily beeping antminers as well and it took me a few minutes of antminer rebooti, router reboot, modem reboot, and then looking at the ghash.io frontpage.

for such a massive pool, they have some of the most terrible client support you can imagine. This is not the first time they have [seemingly] arbitrarily changed the ports or addresses to connect stratum users, not to mention at least 30minutes-1hour of downtime every day

thats what happened to me, i freaked out with those beeps Cheesy

GHash.io has surpassed 30% network hash rate. I might recommend people move to other pools. I've stopped mining at ghash and have returned to btcg FWIW.

You didn't setup backup pool?
You will loose btc once in a while if you don't have a backup pool.
All pools like to DDOS each other, we are talking about big money.

yea, i didnt, words of the day "BACKUP POOLS"

Double Check your network configuration on the WAN. I had two working when I had the broadcast address in there as 192.168.1.255 and the DNS as 192.168.254.

I had two randomly shutdown. They would turn on and allow me to browse the web interface but would not start hashing.

I had to remove my broadcast address of 192.168.1.255 and replace my switch my DNS address from 192.168.1.254 to 8.8.8.8

After that check your Power supplies but since two are failing I think It is your network configuration.

i can connect to them too, but they dont start mining Huh

i already have them to 8.8.8.8, sushi set them up
