Topic: P2Pool Server List - page 15. (Read 106619 times)

it would send as they asked for it, but that wouldn't be all at once.. and it wouldn't be all of them, since by the time some "found" it, it would have spread to other ppl in their peer list..  i'm thinking that's how it is, anyway.  it says i've solved like 20 or so blocks on blockexplorer, and i don't get 1000 asks all at once

it doesn't send that much data, anyway.  here's a traffic snapshot:




i did drop it from 1000 to 500, though... so this shows ~600 connections.  i'll probably raise it again to 700 or 800 next time I compile (it was bogging down my CPU a bit at 1000)

(ed:  it's on dedicated connection with plenty of bandwidth, feel free to addnode=5.9.24.81 if you need to DL block chain)

who mined at my BTC p2pool by user 1EZBPJnbPF15UKoeL9erYiLVeDxBpbMHx5
you generate only DEAD shares, please check your miner options or PM me for support

If zvs found a block would his bitcoind try to upload it to all 1000 connections at once or do it one by one?

1000 connections?!

If you don't mind my asking, what is your upstream for that? If your upstream isn't thick enough when bitcoind spikes to send a new block, having that many could be counter-productive.

Mine can go on the list:

San Francisco, California::USA::http://tonic.dnsd.info:9332/::0%::BTC::FRESH::freshzive

Node uptime: 10.958 days Peers: 10 out, 13 in

ah, nice.  

i think I'll still leave 'em all off though, just cause my bitcoind has over 1000 connections and i don't want more load on my server =p

and it's still @ 5.9.24.81 port 9332

There is no LP for the alt-coins. You only get 1 LP for the primary coin. The rest of the compatible coinage is merged into the same work your miner is doing for the primary coin.

Smoovious answer above...   

How to disable LP of alt-coins?

I'm planning to stay at least with BTC/NMC...

IMHO, it isn't a big deal, as long as it is clearly disclosed up front, giving miners the opportunity to choose to agree to the terms or not.

I would say yes, set your fee to 0%, since your merge mining will compensate you for your effort.

I would also not include the NMC/I0C/IXC/DVC in with your entry, as it implies people would be mining to get those coin also, so you should just be showing BTC as the currency you're doing public mining on, with a note at the end of your entry saying you're merge mining those coin, in lieu of charging a fee. This should eliminate misunderstandings.

Merged mining via p2pool should have no effect on your DOA/stale rate.

BTC will always take priority, and you'd only be exerting mining effort for that. The coin you are merge mining, do not generate their own polling.

Your mining efforts, just get passed onto the other coin you're merge mining after the BTC mining is dealt with. If you would see more DOA/stales due to merged mining, it would be on the coin you're merge mining, not on BTC. [edit: unless your computer isn't handling having all of the daemons running, gracefully, say, not enough free memory or CPU power, or too much diskio for smooth operation. then your merge mining, may affect your BTC mining.]

i turned off merge mining, it seems likely that it increases the # of DOA/stales, since it generates more polling?

Hi Smoov!

 As you can see, I am not hidding anything but, I have no idea how to do this accounting... So, I'm keeping it for me.

 Maybe dropping the fee to 0 can be a good idea... Since I'm keeping extra alt-coins for me... What do you guys think about something like this? Not a big deal, right!?

 I would like to setup the same system of p2pmining.com but, again, I don't know how...

Cheers!
Thiago

How are you handling the payouts to your guest miners, for the merged mining that you are doing?

Hi!

 I'm running my own Bitcoin / Litecoin P2Pool node for months, but just now I decide to announce it... So, here we go!

 The server hardware and software configuration is:

 Hardware:
 Dell Powered 840
 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q6600  @ 2.40GHz
 RAM: 8G
 HD: 6T hardware RAID5

 Plus:
 NoBreak 1.5 KVA - 1 hour
 80 KVA Diesel Generator

 Software:
 Ubuntu Server 12.04 - 64 Bits

 Bitcoin P2Pool Node Details:
 Linux KVM
 Ubuntu Server Minimal Virtual Machine 12.04 - 64 Bits
 CPU: 2~4 Cores (flags copied from host)
 RAM: 2G~3G
 HD: 50G (1 logical volume of 50G at host as /dev/vda)

 Litecoin P2Pool Node Details:
 Linux KVM
 Ubuntu Server Minimal Virtual Machine 12.04 - 64 Bits
 CPU: 2~4 Cores (flags copied from host)
 RAM: 2G~3G
 HD: 50G (1 logical volume of 50G at host as /dev/vda)

 NOTE: There is 2 VPS running at this server, the Bitcoin and Litecoin P2Pool nodes.

 If there is demand, I can rise up the resources allocated to it.

---

 Special Note:

 I'm using two fiber line Internet connections, total of 200Mb down and 30Mb up.

 This is great deal for brazillian users of ISP called Telefônica, using the ADSL service called "Speedy Fibra", even using regular Speedy services (not fiber) through telephone lines (ADSL), this services is good for you! Because we are close to each other!

My Bitcoin P2Pool node have enabled merged mining for the following alt-coins: NMC/IXC

But I'm keeping those coins for me because I don't know how to do the accounting...  :-/

Good luck!!

great googly moogly, peers keep sending me blocks

Yeah, but the fee is supposed to make them worthwhile to process. 

Anyway, is it possible for a peer joining to send you out of sync data or something?

I've been giving this a go for 12 hrs or so, and noticed this:



I ended up just shutting it down and reloading, now back to 1-2%.

Didn't miss it at all...

The point being: mining's purpose is to process transactions and get them into the block chain... not mining for the reward at the expense of that purpose.

Anyways, way to miss a joke.

-- Smoov

 

The point being: if all these transactions weren't included, it'd reduce the stale rate and make it less likely to have orphaned shares/blocks.

Sorry that you missed it earlier.

Like... (counts on fingers)... almost twice as big!

-- Smoov

Yeah, and 213kb is a lot more than 4kb.
