just seen this on our pool Total: 5 (Orphan: 2, Dead: 0) but again the only one getting shares is that 1th = /

yes something does not seem right?

ok ! i thought CoiniumServ was like p2pool.
No... CoiniumServ is a centralized pool.  You get miners to connect to your pool and it is only the combined hashing power of the miners on that pool that count towards the solving of the block.  This is how your typical pool works (BTCGuild, Eligius, Slush, Discus Fish, AntPool, etc).  They are all centralized pools.

P2Pool is a distributed network of nodes all working together to solve the block of BTC.

Here's the difference between a pool like CoiniumServ and p2pool.  I can move my miners right now from my node to yours, over to OgNasty's, on to windpath's and back to mine and my work goes with me.  All of my shares are still there.  If I happen to be mining on your node when the next block is found, I still get paid for the shares I have on the chain no matter on which node that share was found.  I don't lose any work.  I most certainly cannot do that if I point my miners to BTCGuild, then to BAN, then to kano.is and back to BTCGuild.  On each of those pools any work I've done on any other pool is completely irrelevant.

i see wow. well then i must say i was close to changing the pool to CoiniumServ but i will hold off and see this through.

Thanks Jonny !
CoiniumServ is its own pool and not hooked into p2pool.  Your pool by itself is trying to solve blocks of BTC.  Unless you've gotten a few petahash worth of miners to commit to you, don't bother.

got it.. but how come only one miner shows shares? that has me worried i don't like feeling like everyone is getting cheated or something..

at the moment that's how it feels with only one miner showing shares
Because that miner is the only one who's got a share that was accepted onto the share chain.  Remember, p2pool is not like your typical pool where every little share you submit counts.  The only shares that p2pool cares about are ones that are of a high enough difficulty to be added to the share chain and/or solve a block of BTC.

I've got a S3 that has been mining for a few days now without finding a share... so when the last block was found, it didn't get a payout.  It happens.  It's the variance inherent in the system.

i just learned something the more Miners we have the faster the time to share is.. when we had them all on it said 1h now that a few disconnected it says 5h cool.. nice to know
The node takes into account all miners to calculate the time to share.  The more miners you have, the more hash rate you have and the quicker a share is expected to be found.  It's kind of a misleading stat for an individual miner, since it is based on the entire node's hash rate.  Just like you can calculate your expected earnings of BTC per day for a given hash rate and difficulty, you can do the same thing to determine how long it should take you as a miner to find a share in p2pool.  The formula can be simplified to this:
Code:
Share Difficulty * 2^32 / hash rate = time to find a share in seconds

Let's look at an example for a 1TH/s miner using the current share difficulty of 6500000:
Code:
6500000 * 2^32 / 1000000000000 = 27917.29
So, a 1TH/s miner would expect to find a share every 7.75 hours at a share difficulty of 6.5 million.

My 2 S5's are back so share time should drop back down.

That was my two S5 going back to back up pools. Having a hard time figuring out just what they are doing. Let me go bring them back. I also notice someone new

i'm pulling my hairs ---------------------------- lol i see we got a other person Welcome aboard our wild ride on the all new P2Pool RollerCoaster!

the miners are doing wonderful in terms of DOA very low..
i guess that should be a positive?

i seen that! also let me know if they are sending out pay! i got one this morning

I just moved both S5's back a little while ago. As far as pay I have not seen anything?
You will only see a payment if you had a share on the chain when the block was found.  Looking at the stats page, I can see only 1 of the 4 miners on the node that has a share.

And I thought Slush's pool payout was confusing! 😜

Last night I had 2 S5's and the 1 S3 on your pool for a  while and it all seemed to work good, but it did take about 20 mins for the second S5 to get up to a normal speed. Now that I moved both S5's off it looks like the pool speed should be @2.5Th as it did before I added those 2 miners but your graph on the top of the page is only showing @1.5TH?
