It takes 24 hrs to reach full mining potential because reward is distributed based on shares submitted in the past 24 hours. Mine for at least a week before making any decision to account for variance.

Does the pool still use the standard p2pool PPLNS?

Also where is this server located now?

sub 40ms ping times from Arizona
sub 50ms ping times from California

P2pmining PPLNS is set up to distribute the reward from p2pool prportionally to shares submitted in the last 24 hours.

P2pool PPLNS is a little more complicated. Here what is stated in the wiki https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool

Quote

Each share contains a generation transaction that pays to the previous n shares, where n is the number of shares whose total work is equal to 3 times the average work required to solve a block, or 8640 (= 24 hours of shares), whichever is smaller. Payouts are weighted based on the amount of work each share took to solve, which is proportional to the p2pool difficulty at that time.

So p2pmining pays PPLNS based on the reward of another PPLNS. Can any one figure out ramifications of this system?

By the way, I have no idea where the server is. vedalken254 would need to answer that.

Just started on this pool with litecoin (hope to use it for my ASIC's too) but this litecoin mining calculator - http://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashrate=5.62&difficulty=9.40447348 - Says I should be earning ~0.60ltc per 24hrs period according to my 24hour average effective hash rate and I've been mining with you's for over 36hrs now and only earned ~0.32ltc - what am I doing wrong Huh

JayCoin,

Just noticed something (i think)... but are the auto-payout amounts the same as the payout mininums meaning that you can't get paid less than the minimum via the instant payout option?

Yeah. That has happened before. That block also shows that it only paid out the reward to four addresses when a p2pool block pays out the reward to about 200 addresses.

p2pool.info is reporting a erroneous block.

A small miner would be less than 1 gh/s

shows block 198040 found by p2pool?

EDIT: In p2pool thread, someone suggested this is another block on a private fork.

p2pool found a block an hour ago, but it doesn't seem to be showing in the p2pmining stats. Is there a delay somewhere?

Just out of curiosity, what's the share difficulty set at? At first it looked like it was 2, but now it's looking to be more like 4. It's not a problem for me; I think my setup would be fine with 8 actually.

If you don't specify difficulty, then the difficulty changes based on p2pmining hashrate. If you want difficulty 1, then add +1 to the end of you bitcoin address/username. +2 would be difficulty 2 shares and so on and so forth. I have some miners on +2 and some on +4. All mining to the same address.

The current dynamic difficulty is at 3.6955 (changes constantly). This may cause problems with some miners, so I suggest you always specify a difficulty. Small miners should specify +1.

What's your definition of small?

Oh nice, I think I'll give 8 a try for a while.

The hashrate on i0coin must be really small; we've found a pretty big majority of the last 120 blocks. Grin

Jaycoin,

Some feature suggestions for you since I know nothing about php coding: Merged Mining Unpaid Rewards data for miner pages and an extra field on the blocks with a cron job to check for orphan blocks and mark them as such on the website or remove the orphan blocks from view.

Just throwing some ideas out there.

Veddy

Orphans are now marked and current unpaid merged mining rewards are also displayed.

Keep the ideas coming Cheesy

I saw that earlier as you were implementing them. Cheesy

Why are orphans that are valid not credited, anyway?

My current block value is 50.65, everyone else is around 50.35 (because they are using default bitcoind settings, probably). But, because of including more transactions, my shares are more likely to be orphaned, esp. by people on slow connections.

I get the feeling that it would be better to include 0 transactions on P2P network, to guarantee your shares vs the ppl with low bandwidth/high latency connections?

if I were to solve a block, I'm not worried about it being orphaned on main network at all

ed: hmmm, actually, I suppose it wouldn't grab the whole thing, so each would have an equal chance of being orphaned, eh? so, nm

eroxors: If it does work then it's something with phoenix 2... But either way, I would post at least a 24 hour notice if i needed to restart the server (unless it was an immediate security threat) and that would take maybe 5-10 minutes to do.

First, thanks for getting the pool back up! This is awesome.

Second, any idea why bamt mines on this pool for a little while then kicks out to a backup? I'm not having a problem with my windows boxes, just BAMT. Also, would it be possible, some time down the road, to put a character or something at the end of our payout address so that we could identify individual machines? So, I could see when a machine is down, basically.

eroxors,

What specific GPU miner do you use under BAMT?

Veddy

Default... I think Phoenix 2?

Not sure honestly... Have you tried running cgminer to see if it's phoenix 2? Also, it could be server-side as i made an oops in the haproxy config file for port 80 redirection... if you're not using that, then disregard.

To Everyone who was mining litecoins: You will prolly notice an rpc_call_failure in minerd's logs. This is due to me having to edit the LTC p2pool instance's python code for long-polling to be under a different name so that haproxy would properly forward port 80 at http://pool.p2pmining.com/ to the right instance. I sincerely apologize for not noticing it sooner.

Thanks for the heads up, JayCoin. Cheesy

Veddy

It was the same on the old server. Not a huge deal but I'll try cgminer on bamt and see if it works. It does work if p2mining is the only pool, however.

Ah, that could be it since both of these appear to have been Sept. 5. Transaction IDs I have are:

Yes, I dropped the minimum for payout to 0 so anyone who mined bitcoin during testing would get paid before I started the new wallets.

Neat. I never guessed I would have participated in testing without even knowing it. Grin

UPDATE: To mine LITECOINS on port 80, use http://ltc.p2pmining.com/. Apparently what played nice for me last night isn't playing nice anymore. DNS may take some time to propagate around the internet. Until then, sit tight and if you can, use the default http://p2pmining.com:9327 to mine litecoins.

Thanks guys!
