Topic: P2Pool and othe rmining question (Read 507 times)

Hello,

I'm trying to join the P2Pool mining group but have had some difficulty. If someone could give me some guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.

I do not have a dedicated system.
Bit = 0.8
OS = Win 7 x64
GPU = EVGA 285
Miner = Phoenix 2.0 (it's the only one I have figured out)
If butterflyLab ever does ship. I will probably pick up one.

Bitcoin block space:

1. I now have almost 8gig of block space being used. Is there a way to clean this up? C:\Users\Nate\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blocks

2. I avg about 20 connections, is that good?

P2Pool Question:

1. I've had some difficulty with the miner crashing the last few days. It would error out of resources. P2pool and miner run on same system. I know the system itself is fine, I can Mine for MtRed with no issue.
It seems to be running ok now. But would like to understand for future use.

2. LP: new work pushed - I see this message a lot on P2Pool but not when connected to Mt.Red. Is it normal for P2Pool or do I have a wrong setting?

3. They mention about maintain a node. is this just running the p2pool client?

Miner Questions: Would like to try these if possible.

1. CGMiner - I've tried to get this but it looks like you have to download and install 4 different programs? At least this is what I gather from the readme.

2. M0mchil miner - Opens a dos box and closes

3. GUIminer - Works with MT.Red but can't get it to registrar with P2Pool

4. Some of these link to git. What is that?
