egorsmkv: service very good, thanks for it
egorsmkv: hello, who administrate server?
chalbersma: Yes at the time they had a big problem with the network effect. Difficulty had skyrocketed because of some market movement that made it (temporarily) more profitable to mine than bitcoin.
chalbersma: Think is I don't think that anybody is actually using ATC P2Pool implementation anymore. The contract for the build had 1 month of runtime and then MP and Ragnar I believe ran the p2pool node for a while. But ATC didn't seem to catch on that much.
chalbersma: So with P2Pool the idea is that you will run a mining "pool" that share's it's load with other mining "pools". There a cryptographic chain keeping track of work so that you can't cheat or mine a block and then keep it. So in the end instead of having one centralized plae where all the mining work is kept you get the benefits of the pool with bitcoin like decentralization.
chalbersma: When I get a chance to do some hacking I'll be sure to.
chalbersma: I assume they're hosting the code somewhere?
chalbersma: What seems to be the support problem you speak of?
chalbersma: Ya been super busy. But it's nice out hear.
chalbersma: Ya when you look at p2pool in Bitcoin nobody has a share of the network like you and Bingo do.
chalbersma: X-Rob I looked it up. It will accept +diff but there's a maximum + you can go up. going 1024 when diff was 1 was too much.
chalbersma: @Ragnar did someone else add hashing power to the nodes?
chalbersma: mp I'll take a look at it but I'm not entirely sure how to do it. I'll have to read more into the procedure of generating that coinbase.
chalbersma: It gives the donation address a satoshi and any leftover satoshi's after dividing between the active shares to that address too.
chalbersma: mp. I've been looking at the bit that donation transaction that generates the donation to forrestv's address. I've found one alternative p2pool implementation that had a different coinbase script but I'm not sure how to generate it. I'll have to look more into it tomorrow.
chalbersma: Only if you leave the default donation is the .25 per block given. I've set the manual donation to 0.
chalbersma: Noticed it with the first block and looked it up. 1 satoshi per block seemed harmless enough.
chalbersma: I added the minimum to make the code work. It can be changed in the future.
chalbersma: @mircea_popescu let me see if I can find an explanation of it.
chalbersma: *Occassionaly spits out naked photos of Jennifer Lawerence*
chalbersma: Introducing iTank! The most friendly and easy to use Tank every invented. Just take civillians put them infront of the intiutive iTarget system and choose the enemy to iKill.
chalbersma: Well if they ran FreeBSD they'd never breakdown.
chalbersma: Just out of curiosity where did you rent from?
chalbersma: I'm sure the hacking of kill switches will never be used against the soldiers in quesiton.
chalbersma: On me personal pool? I need to remove that but that was me initially testing the advertising idea.
chalbersma: The second one is running on my home connection I plan to keep it running until we validate and release the p2pool software and more people start running their own copies.
chalbersma: SANE_TARGET_RANGE = (2**1024//2**32//1000000 - 1, 2**256//2**32 - 1)
chalbersma: SANE_TARGET_RANGE = (2**256//2**32//1000000 - 1, 2**256//2**32 - 1)
chalbersma: Okay I think I changed the max difficulty.
chalbersma: SANE_TARGET_RANGE = (2**256//2**32//1000000 - 1, 2**256//2**32 - 1)
chalbersma: Let me try ressetting both nodes and the share data on them. Starting fresh.
chalbersma: X-Rob can you try using a higher manual difficulty. Add +<diff> after your address in the username field.
chalbersma: Can you try setting a manual difficulty? I believe they added that feature to p2pool recently to improve stability. Let me look up the formatting on how to do it.
chalbersma: I imagine it has to do with the changing hashrate.
chalbersma: That's basically all I've changed (in addition to adding the extra web interface bits.
chalbersma: X-Rob Can I get you to point some hashing power there for a bit. Let's see if I can see what the issue is.
chalbersma: No it's the creator of the interface. I lifted the default one for one that was more useful.
chalbersma: Yep when the block is solved it's split evenly among the shares.
chalbersma: I haven't had any problems with P2pool yet.
