P2Pool [ANN][P2POOL] Public P2Pool Node w/ Workertracker

vertoe

Three of Nine
Public P2Pool node: http://turing.darkco.in:7903

Pool Information
  • Location: DE (Europe)
  • 1% p2pool node fees
  • PPLNS payout with vardiff
  • Direct payouts to your wallet without being hold by any insecure pool wallet
  • Dynamic worker tracker frontend - just enter your address and watch the stats

Difficulty
If you wish to manually control your pseudo-share difficulty outside of the range provided by the dynamic system you can do the following:
Code:
Darkcoin Address+0.00000116 x Hash Rate in KHash

For example for my R9 270x I use:
Code:
400 x 0.00000116 = 0.000464
XsWp6DXrEiEtBpyU5YMctXf15BYNHhufrG+0.000464

Please note
  • P2Pool payments can take up to 24 hours to ramp up after you start mining, please wait this long before seeking assistance
  • Payouts require that you solve at least one share of difficulty greater than the P2Pool share target per day.
  • Decreasing intensity can help your stale rates massively, and will improve your payouts in most cases.
  • You will notice an increased stale rate in your miner compared to a traditional pool, this is normal and expected behaviour for P2Pool (~5-10%)

Do you mean than your R9 270X give just 400 kh/s in X11 ?

I do the same for my R9 280X, but with 2370 X 0.00000116 = 0,0027492

With that i go from 1.6 to 0.78 Stale
 
100MH/s yay!

My 270x does 1.3MH/s, sorry thats a typo. Stale is pretty random. Don't watch it too closely.

Edit: By the way, dont set the pseudoshare difficulty per card but per worker (e.g. per rig). If you have 4 280x, multiply the factor by 4.
 
Trying your pool, looking great. Quick questions please;

Which reading do you use for the "real" hash rate? I have 5x 280x. CGWatcher reports 10.9MH/s (both peak and average), pool reports 11, sgminer WU=0.154
So lets say I get 2.18MH/s per card.
2180 * 0.00000116 = 0.0025288 * 5 = 0.012644

Then I just drop this in the sgminer .conf file right next the the payment address?

EDIT:
Indeed, just halved my rejects by half. 1,5% ... where does the 0.00000116 come from?

EDIT2: Well I'll be dammned... did a mining restart and my rejects went down to 0% and my WU is much higher (p2pool report +2MH/s). CGwatcher still registers the same speed. Does this make any sense? Not complaining! :D

The .00000116 is a wild guesstimate which I found somewhere on the internet, i dont know the exact maths behind it. I personally prefer to "round up" and use slightly higher values. As you may have noticed the number does not matter too much. If you set it too high, you might submit not enough shares for the p2pool share chain and if you set it too low you might generate too much spam for the server causing you to get a much higher number of rejects. The optimum lies somewhere inbetween and you are free to play around with these numbers.

Your stale rate is pretty random and can vary between 0 and 10% quite often. If it stays high for a very long time, you should check your settings, but usually it drops after a certain amount of time again.

The reported hashrate on the p2pool web frontend is calculated based on the last submitted shares which is aswell very random. Your real hashrate is displayed in CGMiner.

2180 * 0.00000116 = 0.0025288 * 5 = 0.012644

This number looks good, and yes its per worker and not per card.

can you help me understand why according to your method of 400k/hash x 0.00000116 you got 0.+0000464 but you used address+0.0000232? Left me very confused even though apparently everyone else understands

A copy&paste mistake. My 270x is doing 1900 kH/s by the way and I use +0.001. Just play around until you find a number you like. And dont set it too low.
 
cpu mining on p2pool was very tough to get setting right. since i began using darkcointalks main pool everything works great without setting anything. seems like when the price dropped back down maybe some larger rigs went back to lightcoin? last couple days been earning more.

anyway 1900 on one 270x? wow how so high? im getting so confused by the numbers i keep seeing they are all over the place for no rhyme or reason. seems like it just depends who i'm talking to or what blog im reading. i want to build a rig but having such a hard time figuring out what card to start with.
