wow looks like we are up to 100 ghs! and I got 11 peers! woohoo!!

I might play with this later tonight. Like what I am reading as it seems to be the perfect mix of solo mining and pooled mining.

Win32 development snapshot: http://u.forre.st/u/lirlewiy/p2pool_win32_633dd68.zip I've changed the packaging a bit - everything is combined into one executable file now. Tell me if you have any problems with it!

I made my node connect to your address (using the -n option), so you should have at least 11 peers now.
Something might be wrong with the share ranking algorithm, though if I look at the address database, it says that your node has only been up for about 22 hours (since unix timestamp 1326773440). Does that sound right..?I got your latest changes from Git, had 2 mns downtime, so yeah, 22 hours at the time of your post.. that is correct.
Interestingly enough, I did notice the "Peers:11 (1 incoming)" this morning, and now, it even got to "Peers: 12 (2 incoming)".
Sooooo, it seems it's .. erm.. "hard" to go over 10 peers, but it can be done.
And if, like c_k said, "10 is enough", then everything is working fine.

Been there, done that.
Also, first thing I did was an nmap from an external server. Result: "open". I knew that, but I double-checked anyway.
So.. yeah. Maybe i'm being paranoid, but the whole ">10 peers" really seems utopic/flawed.
Code:
Success: I can see your service on xx.247.9.10 on port (9333)
Your ISP is not blocking port 9333

I worked a bit with him to get cgminer and P2Pool working well together. I don't know how useful that would be... A lot of people have multiple machines running cgminer and one P2Pool instance. Why do you want it integrated? I'd think some kind of monitoring tool that started P2Pool and cgminer might be better.
Been running merged for 24+ hrs with cgminer on defaults and I 8 and was a bit shocked at the E, U, and Rejected, which would normally be 120%, 19.5/m and .6%. Can anyone recommend settings changes or do these numbers look good?
P2Pool has characteristics very different from most mining pools. Work is given a difficulty of 8 instead of 1, which explains the decreased U. Work expiring more quickly (every 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes) decreases cgminer's displayed efficiency and increases rejects.
P2Pool's displayed efficiency is very close to 100%, so everything seems okay. Efficiency is the ultimate indicator of how well everything is working.

Might be because I have a static IP - back up to 25 peers as of now. Well, I'm not contributing (much) hashing power but at least I'm giving a little network stability?
January 17, 2012, 02:11:43 PM
Peers really doesn't matter, if you have 10 you're doing just fine
Here's a snapshot of my stats after running for 12 hours with a fresh git checkout before I launched p2pool:

Also I would use a port scanning tool to make sure the port is open and forwarded and not getting hung up somewhere between the wide open internet and the local daemon.
I find http://www.canyouseeme.org/ useful for a sanity check.

+1. I'd be willing to sponsor this.
January 17, 2012, 01:43:41 PM
There just aren't many users currently (only me at the moment). Can you post any Python error messages you see?
Only you? wth, am I invisible?
No errors, just... 10 peers. That's it.

After 36 hours of port correctly forwarded, still only connected to 10 peers.
I think I reached the "I only believe it if I see it" phase regarding more than 10 peers being connected.

im with you.. I have NEVER seen more than 10.
I have the same problem. I noticed that when i get a new ip address (24h disconnect) my bitcoin and namecoin connections drop to 8 and stay there untill i restart them. But that doesnt work for p2pool. Only one time I had 14 peers in p2pool, but never again.
edit: We need IPv6
(No more NAT)

I currently have 30 peers reported. Just reset to update to the latest from git - hit 10 peers quickly, after couple minutes it's up to 13. So it CAN happen...

How to use p2pool with an accompanying standalone bitcoind
(since the windows gui version of bitcoin 0.5.1 crashes frequently when used with p2pool)
(since the windows gui version of bitcoin 0.5.1 crashes frequently when used with p2pool)
Assumptions:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7
Bitcoin: Latest stable release installed and working - http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.5.1/bitcoin-0.5.1-win32-setup.exe/download
p2pool: you'll be slightly off the beaten path with this configuration as you're specifying the bitcoin address to send generated bitcoins and not using the second bitcoin processes wallet
- Download latest current p2pool code and extract to "%programfiles%\p2pool" - https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/zipball/master
- Download and install latest Python 2.7 (if you get 64bit, you'll need 64bit versions of the packages below) - http://www.python.org/download/
- Download and install python extension package twisted - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#twisted
- Download and install python extension package zope.interface - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#zope.interface
- Download and install python extension package pil - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pil
- Download and install python extension package pygame - http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pil
- Open your Bitcoin GUI client if it is not running and generate a new address, take note of the generated address and close your Bitcoin GUI client
- Edit your existing "%appdata%\bitcoin\bitcoin.conf" and unless you know what you're doing, change what ever is there to this and if the file does not exist - create it:
Code:
logtimestamps=1
- Create the folder "%programfiles%\p2pool\bitcoind-data"
- Create "%programfiles%\p2pool\bitcoind-data\bitcoin.conf" with your favorite text editor and populate it with this:
Code:
server=1
logtimestamps=1
port=18333
rpcport=18332
rpcuser=bitcoinusername
rpcpassword=bitcoinpassword
rpcallowip=*
- Take note of the folder name of the latest current p2pool code - it is in "%programfiles%\p2pool"
- Create "%programfiles%\p2pool\p2pool.cmd" with your favorite text editor and populate it with this:
Code:
@echo off
title p2pool
echo.
echo running p2pool ...
echo.
C:\Python27\python.exe "%programfiles%\p2pool\folder-name-of-the-latest-current-p2pool-code\run_p2pool.py" --net bitcoin --address yourbitcoinaddresshere --bitcoind-address 127.0.0.1 --bitcoind-rpc-port 18332 --bitcoind-p2p-port 18333 bitcoinusername bitcoinpassword
echo.
echo p2pool stopped.
echo.
pause
eg.
Code:
@echo off
title p2pool
echo.
echo running p2pool ...
echo.
C:\Python27\python.exe "%programfiles%\p2pool\forrestv-p2pool-4f6c2e2\run_p2pool.py" --net bitcoin --address 12uN6G1uAtn7G29qfTdLD9des4y63Whr61 --bitcoind-address 127.0.0.1 --bitcoind-rpc-port 18332 --bitcoind-p2p-port 18333 bitcoinusername bitcoinpassword
echo.
echo p2pool stopped.
echo.
pause
- Create "%programfiles%\p2pool\bitcoind.cmd" with your favorite text editor and populate it with this:
Code:
@echo off
title bitcoind
echo.
if exist "%programfiles%\bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" (set programfilesx86=0)
if exist "%programfiles(x86)%\bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" (set programfilesx86=1)
if %programfilesx86%==0 (goto :programfiles)
if %programfilesx86%==1 (goto :programfilesx86)
echo ERROR! bitcoind.exe not found in either "%programfiles%\bitcoin\daemon\" or "%programfiles(x86)%\bitcoin\daemon\" - giving up!
echo.
pause
goto:eof
:programfiles
echo running bitcoind.exe from "%programfiles%\Bitcoin\daemon\" ...
"%programfiles%\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" -datadir="%programfiles%\p2pool\bitcoind-data"
echo.
echo bitcoind stopped.
echo.
pause
goto:eof
:programfilesx86
echo running bitcoind.exe from "%programfiles(x86)%\Bitcoin\daemon\" ...
"%programfiles(x86)%\Bitcoin\daemon\bitcoind.exe" -datadir="%programfiles%\p2pool\bitcoind-data"
echo.
echo bitcoind stopped.
echo.
pause
- Copy blk*.dat from %appdata%\bitcoin to %programfiles%\p2pool\bitcoind-data
- Run "%programfiles%\p2pool\bitcoind.cmd"
- Run "%programfiles%\p2pool\p2pool.cmd"
You should now be able to mine on your machine to 127.0.0.1:9332 or to your machines IP on port 9332 on your LAN
