Yes, but 2 weeks ago we had an exceptional high PPS. That's the typical variance on this type of mining. On the long term it doesn't matter too much because it will average. And this is better than the real PPS because it includes transactions, which in the end will be the only reward. So, in the long term, you're better on p2pool.

Maybe JayCoin can include a longer PPS average?

It appears that P2Pmining.com is down by 12 GH/s because some bigger miners feel similar, less profit at this P2Pool subPool.
The PPS is about 40% lower than what is possible based on difficulty.   

I think I had an epiphany.

I spent some time this morning watching cgminer on both my miners.  I watched them mine against p2pmining, and then compared the results against when running against my local pool.  I dug out the cgminer docs to see what all the values mean on the screen, and if I'm interpreting this right, I'm wasting resources trying to mine on p2pmining.  Maybe I'm missing something, which is why I'm posting this here.

First of all, efficiency.  On p2pmining, I never saw above 10%.  I was lucky if I saw 5%.  On one miner, I'm at 125%, on another, I'm at 43%.  From the cgminer docs:

E:   The Efficiency defined as number of shares returned / work item

Second of all, utility.  From the cgminer docs:

U:   The Utility defined as the number of shares / minute

On p2pmining, for one box I was around 4/m, on the other 7/m.  Locally, I'm at 8.8/m and 24.6/m respectively.

And of course rejects.  I'm at 1% or lower locally.  I've been around 10% on p2pmining.

Yes, p2pmining gives merged mining.  But it seems to me merged mining on almost worthless currency, compared to btc, doesn't come close to compensating for the efficiency I'm getting from mining locally on my own pool.  And I already have a namecoin server up and running that my local pool is pointed against, and nmc seems to be by far the most valuable of the other currencies.

Am I missing something, or does it seem like I'm wasting resources mining on p2pmining?  I've got about 2.4g/h, with about 100m/h being routed right now to p2pmining as backup as cgminer dictates.

I grew tired of the comm problems with p2pmining.  It's my backup now. 

Thank you =)

Done.

Can this go in the first post? I get tired of trying to find it when I have to restart my mining and need the details.

Nice, thanks!

The L word has been awful recently.

Bravo

Set fees to 0% for both pools indefinitely.

Happy Mining.

Problem with p2pool code last night.  There was some down time last night when the p2pool code started freaking out.  Had to update a couple times while forrestv was pushing out patches.  Litecoin pool will need to get updated tonight.

Couldn't sleep, so I added ability to change the payout address for bitcoin payments by signing it with your miner's address.  It's on the register merged mining tab.  This was requested by Smoov.

0.5 LTC confirmed is the payment threshold. Same as Bitcoin.

That was sent by a generous benefactor.

I can see where you would want that function.  I will try to implement that as soon as possible.  Probably by the end of the weekend.

PM JayCoin and see what he could do. You may not be the only miner with that issue. 

Um, yeah, ok... since you apparently, didn't fully read and comprehend my suggestion I'm just going to head to bed.

-- Smoov

you have to just sign with the first btc address to change it.
 I guess if you have 50 rigs its easier to change the receive address then go to every rig and change it.

And how does my suggestion, not prevent someone from changing the deliver-to BTC addy?

-- Smoov

the purpose of signing was to prevent people from changing the address and adding there own or adding a address when there was not one.

It would be nice to have worker threads to keep track of rigs.
