Status of Feathercoin p2pool software releases

Feathercoin has updated to GPU "only" Neoscrypt algorithm and p2pool updates have been released for a while.

**The Feathercoin neoscrypt p2pool instruction are included in Github repository :**

https://github.com/wellenreiter01/p2pool-neoscrypt

**Ask for further help with p2pool on the Feathercoin Forum**

http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8384/what-version-of-p2pool-software-to-use-with-feathercoin-neoscrypt/2

The p2pool now installs easy and runs great as your own private pool. The current estimates at current average FTC (neoscrypt) difficulty means you can "Solo mine" a  something like a R9 280 using  NSGminer. It is a good introduction to mining without using ASICs.

As the repositories in this thread are either no longer available or the p2pool version provided is very old, i have created a p2pool version for Feathercoin based on the latest available p2pool version. I do intend to update this version regularly. Please let me know if you have updated your p2pool for Feathercoin to the latest version on a stable and continually running host so i could then add you to the seed hosts. Right now there is only two if my machines running as seed hosts.

To start p2pool better make this:
1.Go to directory where p2pool is installed - "cd ~/p2pool-feathercoin"
2. Run command: "python run_p2pool.py --net feathercoin -a YourFTCPayoutAddress -f 0 --give-author 0 --w 19327 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9336 --bitcoind-rpc-port 9667 rpcadmin yourgoodpasswordfromfeathercoin.confhere"

You are running the wrong version on python.  You need to run the script with python 3.  You cant run it with python 2.

Working but doesn't seem to be many other peers


EDIT: nevermind I was following the instructions at the start of the thread with the -net litecoin flag, when I read further and installed the updated version which uses the -net feathercoin falg all is good.

-a YourFTCfeePayoutAddress
-f x where x is the fee amount

For the skralg's version it is needed to use:
Code:
--net feathercoin

Could anyone throw a few hashes this way > http://ftc-cryptocoin.pagekite.me to see if it works?

I am getting 0 shares with this git clone , according to the stats page anyway.

It's really weird.

None of my GPUs will mine scrypt.

None, lol.

And yes, I know how to tune for scrypt.

But when I run them they never get shares and the diff is really high according to cgminer for each share.

I don't understand what the issue could be.

What does your config look like?

Here is it:
Code:
./cgminer --scrypt -o http://10.10.10.10:8080 -u x -p x --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --gpu-engine 940,1050,1120,1120 --gpu-memclock 1350,1500,1450,1600

7970 is a second card with 1050/1500 and flashed bios.

Am I crazy or what?

I have a 7970 and when I point it to the pool it never shows an accepted share or is that normal?
Thanks for posting the link to skralg git, seems like it works.

By "accepted shares" do you mean the shares in p2pool chain or the shares shown in miners? Cgminer shows a lot of shares accepted (as on the bumbox's "screenshot"), but those aren't "real" p2pool shares, afaik they're just there for hashrate calculation. It might take a while to get "real" shares with p2pool, I've setup a node and connected my home workers to it about half an hour ago, and with ~ 11 Mhash/sec I've got 5 shares accepted by p2pool so far, 2 of which are orphaned. Whether it's ok or not to have so few shares accepted I'm not sure myself, let's see how others are doing.

Just new blocks and work restarts.

I never mine scrypt so this is confusing me.

I think no.
Here is my 7970 on local node of skralg p2pool:
Code:
GPU 1:  74.0C 3702RPM | 734.4K/736.8Kh/s | A:524 R:0 HW:0 U:  31.71/m I:13

What does your config look like?
