00:49:06 <grndslm> this is such bullshit...
00:49:52 <grndslm> p2pool was working just fine earlier... then i started trying to tweak shit to get xmrig to run properly... and ever since then, p2pool doesn't work correctly
00:50:39 <grndslm> i've reset the firewall configs back to normal, merely let Windows automagically add the app to incoming connections, which is all i did to get it working the first time... but now it won't work
00:51:57 <grndslm> i've tried manually opening the proper ports... 18080, 18083, and 37889, in addition to the allowing all 3 of the apps in question to handle ANY incoming connections...
00:52:28 <grndslm> p2pool stil problematic.  saw there was an issue with timing out, requiring me to wait 600 minutes.  went grocery shopping, came back, still doesn't work
01:03:31 <grndslm> https://pastebin.com/jxygTdq2
01:04:11 <grndslm> now it says StratumServer and P2PServer are both listening on 0.0.0.0:3333, I'm guessing that's the problem.
01:10:32 <DataHoarder> If you read that log message, it’s you timing out/blocking other peers grndslm 
01:10:43 <DataHoarder> Just informing you it happened 
01:11:22 <grndslm> DataHoarder:  and why am i blocking peers?
01:11:47 <DataHoarder> And also does not seem like both are listening on 3333, according to your logs
01:12:11 <DataHoarder> it blocks them for 10 minutes cause they either did not respond to handshake in time or did not provide good information 
01:14:15 <DataHoarder> In the end seems like Windows, or maybe confusion on what the ports do, although it seems you synced with a peer to get proper sidechain height
01:15:02 <DataHoarder> QuickBASIC sent a message just after you disconnected anyhow 
01:15:24 <DataHoarder> > 01:48:15 <QuickBASIC> grndslm, I was able to repro the error you're seeing on Windows and I think I know the solution. Windows Smartscreen is probably triggering. Run monerod.exe once by double-clicking it, click "More Info", then "Run anyway", then you can run from command line as normal or use Unblock-File PowerShell cmdlet.
01:16:02 <grndslm> like i said... i enabled all 3 of the apps to accept ANY incoming connection.... and i enabled all of the 3 main ports i'm aware of... i just don't get it
01:16:25 <grndslm> DataHoarder:  thanks... must've missed that
01:41:02 <grndslm> ok... so SmartScreen was apparently blocking both monerod and p2pool.... clicked "Run anyway" for both of them, yet the problem with p2pool persists
01:50:18 <QuickBASIC> "and i enabled all of the 3 main ports" grndslm where/how are you doing this specifically?
01:52:01 <QuickBASIC> grndslm can you run 'netstat -ab' in an elevated command prompt and tell us if you see any processes using port 3333.
01:52:31 <grndslm> Defender Firewall w/ Advanced Security.... select inbound rules... Action... New Rule... select Port... TCP w/ specific port 3333...
01:52:55 <grndslm> then i reset and add UDP w/ specific port 3333.... then repeat with TCP/ UDP for each of the aforementioned ports
01:56:12 <QuickBASIC> But you're running everything on localhost right?
01:57:12 <QuickBASIC> I think if you're adding firewall rules there, you're not allowing p2pool to bind on 127.0.0.1 because you're telling Windows that the connection is going to come in on the other interface.
02:00:55 <grndslm> it was working without the ports being manually added.  all i had to do was let the Defender Firewall do its thing and they worked.  Smartscreen was never an issue at first
02:01:21 <grndslm> QuickBASIC:  https://pastebin.com/
02:01:24 <grndslm> please don't pwn me
02:01:45 <grndslm> i definitely don't see port 3333 anywhere on there...
02:03:43 <grndslm> QuickBASIC:  whoops... never submitted the output..
02:03:44 <grndslm> https://pastebin.com/qiDi6rJA
02:19:29 <QuickBASIC[m]> <grndslm> "it was working without the ports..." <- Why did you change to manually adding ports if it was working?
02:21:18 <gingeropolous> ok, so as it stands, i apparently read the [...1..1.1] thing as new ones appearing on the right side, and they are decaying on the left side
02:21:57 <gingeropolous> just to throw my interpretation in there
02:27:01 <grndslm> QuickBASIC[m]:  DataHoarder mentioned something about RPC and ZMQ needing to be enabled or something, so I figured they were protocols like TCP/UDP...
02:27:30 <grndslm> i still don't understand why deleting it all and restarting each app won't automagically configure it like it did the first time around
02:28:56 <grndslm> think i've had about as much fun with Windows 10 as i'd like to have for another decade or two.  no thanks
02:30:05 <grndslm> just discovered Ventoy... USB boot tool that allows you to CHOOSE which iso you want to run at boot... almost as awesome as virtual machines if you ask me
02:30:13 <grndslm> i feel like a caveman
02:31:28 <QuickBASIC> Right now, though gingeropolous, that's backward from the way it currently is.
02:32:36 <QuickBASIC> grndslm If you made a change that made it stop working, you have to undo the change. I still suggest you go to Windows Settings > Windows Security > Firewall and Network Protection and Reset your firewall.
03:01:34 <grndslm> QuickBASIC:  reset firewall settings... added monerod and then p2pool to firewall, which was all i had to to do get them both running properly before... but now it's a no go
03:01:40 <grndslm> yet again
03:01:48 <grndslm> UNCLE!
03:16:06 <grndslm> ok.... last try...
03:16:37 <grndslm> do these outputs mean anything to you... perhaps i am supposed to open outgoing ports, also??  hmm..
03:16:38 <grndslm> https://pastebin.com/4vti9b4f
03:17:17 <grndslm> Particularly the "P2PServer failed to start" and the P2PServer peer xxx banned for 600 seconds.
03:18:00 <grndslm> the first time the app ran, I don't remember it ever saying "verified=0"... there was just a lot more data there.
03:23:51 <grndslm> And hopefully last thing, because wifey needs attention.... i'm confused why monerod will occasionally say "You are now synchronized", and then one second later it will say "daemon will start synchronizing with the network"... but then never say, "OK Synchronized", or whatever it typically says highlighted in Blue (i think it was. . . )... https://pastebin.com/x7g8FBAD
12:36:42 <gingeropolous> ok, well, good to know
12:36:54 <gingeropolous> so they decay on the right side
13:11:57 <sudo_ki[m]> Are there any flags for accessing password protected nodes? 
13:13:28 <DataHoarder> for p2pool, p2pool -h should get you the help
13:13:30 <sech1> --config config.json and put the password there
13:13:41 <DataHoarder> I believe it's node not pool sech1 
13:13:47 <sech1> but it will be a different p2pool chain
13:14:02 <sech1> password protected Monero nodes? No support for it
13:14:18 <DataHoarder> I thought I had seen a parameter there... I was wrong
13:24:14 <garth> Is it fair to say that the p2pool
13:24:32 <sudo_ki[m]> So long as my node is password protected it seems I cannot access with p2pool
13:24:39 <garth> Is basically the Monero network but at a lower difficulty?
13:24:57 <sudo_ki[m]> Hopefully that clarifies what I was referring to
13:25:02 <garth> Or, I mean the hashes are the same but just a lower difficulty?
13:25:14 <sech1> p2pool doesn't work with password protected Monero node
13:25:22 <sech1> garth yes
13:25:29 <sudo_ki[m]> Also, I can't seem to specify stratum port anymore
13:25:43 <sudo_ki[m]> I am using binary
13:25:45 <garth> Ok I’m beginning to understand
13:27:51 <sech1> --stratum 0.0.0.0:3333 doesn't work? What error do you get?
13:28:29 <sudo_ki[m]> It works fine, I just wanted to set a custom one. I use VPN and can't specify ports, I am given them
13:29:30 <sudo_ki[m]> So basically I can't forward 3333 because I don't have access to that 
13:30:27 <DataHoarder> you should be able to change 3333 to something else
13:30:34 <DataHoarder> or forward internally
13:32:14 <sudo_ki[m]> But if I want to connect to stratus port externally, I can't
13:32:35 <sudo_ki[m]> 😒
13:32:53 <DataHoarder> you can
13:33:12 <DataHoarder> connect to the external port? then internal port you set yourself
13:33:22 <sudo_ki[m]> s/stratus/stratum/
13:33:57 <DataHoarder> oh, alternate block
13:34:24 <DataHoarder> some peers had picked other tip
13:35:14 <sudo_ki[m]> The situation; I have two machines, separate networks. I use VPN. I cannot forward ports other than those given to me. One PC has the node and p2pserver running, the other has xmrig. How can I connect to p2pserver if I cannot use 3333?
13:37:13 <DataHoarder> because you can set any port
13:37:30 <DataHoarder> change --stratum 0.0.0.0:3333
13:37:36 <DataHoarder> to whatever port you wish
13:37:55 <DataHoarder> probably it can be scripted to what vpn gives you :)
13:38:42 <sudo_ki[m]> As I said, it's not working, xmrig gives read error on config :(
13:39:03 <DataHoarder> you need to change it on p2pool and on your miner
13:39:22 <DataHoarder> if it's a read error on xmrig, that means the config has invalid format / cannot find it
13:39:57 <sudo_ki[m]> Hmm, I actually think I found the problem, brb
13:41:29 <sudo_ki[m]> XD I was being very silly, port was already  in use
13:41:43 <DataHoarder> :<
13:44:28 <sudo_ki[m]> How embarrassing 
13:47:27 <DataHoarder> it happens, good it's solved now and we have more participants :)
13:47:43 <sudo_ki[m]> Indeed!
13:48:30 <sudo_ki[m]> Thanks for your help folk
13:50:09 <sudo_ki[m]> Is the p2p port for seeding side chain?
13:52:42 <DataHoarder> yes
13:53:27 <DataHoarder> I believe you also seed via your outgoing connections, but if also let people connect to your incoming port, it increases discoverability 
13:55:02 <sudo_ki[m]> I think my challenge now is to find a difficulty that suits my cpu
13:55:42 <DataHoarder> don't change config.json btw :)
13:55:55 <DataHoarder> people have been setting 30 * hashrate
13:56:09 <DataHoarder> to get a "reported" share once each 30 seconds or so
13:56:31 <DataHoarder> that said it won't be an actual "share" on p2pool unless it exceeds the side chain difficulty
13:56:47 <DataHoarder> so if you don't mind not seeing your stats, you don't have to set anything
13:57:17 <DataHoarder> you can override difficulty by setting the user when connecting to p2pool stratum, -u 'x+600000' for example
13:58:16 <sudo_ki[m]> So if I don't set a custom difficulty it doesn't really matter, right?
13:58:39 <sudo_ki[m]> It just for yourself if you press status and want to see some kind of progress
13:58:48 <DataHoarder> correct, it'll just use whatever would give you a share on p2pool
13:58:52 <DataHoarder> aye
16:41:52 <garth> Sech1: I’m interested in the post you made on Reddit that FPGAs like Xilinx U50 exist on Monero. How much of an efficiently gain do these have over simple Ryzen CPUs?
17:04:56 <atheos[m]> ERROR   2021-09-20 17:00:24.9750 JSONRPCRequest failed to connect, error ECONNREFUSED
17:04:56 <atheos[m]> WARNING 2021-09-20 17:00:24.9750 P2Pool get_info RPC request failed: error ECONNREFUSED, trying again in 1 second
17:05:20 <atheos[m]> I keep getting this error when I run .\p2pool.exe --host 127.0.0.1 --wallet YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS
17:05:27 <atheos[m]> with my wallet address
17:05:56 <pauliouk> is the Monerod running ok?
17:05:58 <atheos[m]> synchronization in the previous step completed successfully
17:06:17 <atheos[m]> and I opened all three TCP Ports as well 
17:06:24 <atheos[m]> what could be the reason ? This is windows 10 x64
17:06:39 <atheos[m]> yup monerod run fine 
17:06:48 <atheos[m]> ran fine
17:07:32 <atheos[m]> ok dumb question once monerod said synchronization Ok I closed that window and then ran the second command
17:07:55 <atheos[m]> should I leave that open and run the p2pool in different powershell instance
17:09:50 <atheos[m]> :) I answered my own question thanks  for mentioning monerod running 
17:09:53 <atheos[m]> it works now
17:10:10 <pauliouk> :)
17:12:29 <sech1> garth they're not efficient
17:14:15 <sech1> U50 can do 6500 h/s allegedly
17:14:30 <sech1> at 75 watts
17:15:28 <pauliouk> ouch, at the cost thats the same a full Ryzen 5 setup and about 4 years of energy costs (depending on local energy costs)
17:17:19 <sech1> it was half the hashrate of Ryzen 3900X build at double the price

17:20:01 <atheos[m]> Is this a critical error I need to worry about or fix ?
17:20:35 <sech1> No
17:21:04 <atheos[m]> thank you
17:22:05 <atheos[m]> When I started xmrig , it said HUGE Pages : permission granted but for 1Gb it says Unavailable. I remember setting huge page size when I was running XMRvsBeast
17:22:31 <atheos[m]> should I redo any of those windows configs for page files ?

17:26:33 <pauliouk> thats normal atheos[m] 
17:28:07 <atheos[m]> great. I used to love the dashboard design by someone here https://provsalt.me/dashboard/dashboard .  If I need to know current status of my mining is there a localhost link I need to get to see details
17:32:47 * atheos[m] uploaded an image: (12KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/xjseVGXDqsweMdjQrUmkWoqj/image.png >
17:33:19 <atheos[m]> This is what showsup in monerod since I started mining
17:33:38 <DataHoarder> new blocks found, you might not get transactions from other peers, but it's "normal"
17:33:52 <DataHoarder> it just means it couldn't submit the block through you, but others did
17:34:51 <atheos[m]> gotcha thank you for clarifying
17:53:14 <DataHoarder> sethsimmons: https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-p2pool-node/ is still all in uppercase here, the CSS line that does this is "font-family: Fira Code,Monaco,Consolas,Ubuntu Mono,monospace;" on body, Ubuntu Mono is what gets selected
17:53:20 <DataHoarder> somehow that's all uppercase here?
17:53:54 <DataHoarder> removing Ubuntu Mono from list makes it fallback on "monospace", which makes it all not uppercase
17:58:17 <sethsimmons> I'll see if I can edit that, it should be using Fira Code AFAIK, but I haven't looked in a while. Thanks for the ping!
17:59:39 <DataHoarder> was adding some resources to a page, found it was still all uppercase here
18:03:19 <sethsimmons> Can you try now, DataHoarder?
18:03:42 <DataHoarder> no, cleared cache
18:03:44 <DataHoarder> oh, I see
18:03:50 <DataHoarder> font is blocked by CSP
18:04:09 <DataHoarder> you set "content-security-policy: frame-ancestors 'none'; default-src 'none'; img-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self'; form-action 'none'; base-uri 'none'"
18:04:19 <DataHoarder> so can't load the fonts cause you denied them
18:04:20 <sethsimmons> Hmm
18:04:41 <sethsimmons> Any idea how to fix that?
18:04:47 <DataHoarder> font-src 'self';
18:05:25 <DataHoarder> or change this , but also allows anything not specified: default-src 'self'
18:06:03 <DataHoarder> yeah adding font-src 'self'; to CSP should work
18:06:12 <sethsimmons> I never would have thought it was CSP as it doesn't break on all browsers, just some
18:06:29 <sethsimmons> DataHoarder: Testing now
18:06:35 <DataHoarder> maybe it ignores it and finds a different font than Ubuntu Mono
18:07:13 <DataHoarder> I still see the csp header coming like before
18:08:39 <sethsimmons> Try now
18:08:41 <sethsimmons> Just updated
18:09:19 <DataHoarder> yay, works!
18:09:25 <DataHoarder> they load properly
18:09:27 <sethsimmons> Dude, thanks so much!
18:09:38 <sethsimmons> Had been trying to track that down off and on for a while now
18:09:43 <sethsimmons> You're the best :D
18:09:54 <DataHoarder> heh, it's always DNS... and CSP if you set it
18:10:08 <DataHoarder> behaves in different ways per browser, each one handles a different subset of it
19:05:14 <mightysnowman[m]> Will there be a graph for different values on p2pool site?
19:07:46 <DataHoarder> what different values mightysnowman[m] ?
19:08:01 <DataHoarder> I am working on an explorer/observer site, at least
19:08:14 <mightysnowman[m]> Connected miners amount
19:08:24 <mightysnowman[m]> Would be cool to see it as a graph
19:08:48 <DataHoarder> can't see connected 'miners' directly but can see shares mined/who did it, etc.
19:08:58 <DataHoarder> got a PoC api already in use
19:09:08 <DataHoarder> spammed a bit about it on #p2pool-log
19:10:41 <DataHoarder> if you wait a bit, I'll post some information later on
20:24:56 <atheos[m]> I am little confused on p2pool fee. On p2pool io it says 0% fee and github read me says  100% control , but my miner shows 1% Donate by default with no way to control that. Does this mean instead of 1% fee we are calling it 1% donation ?
20:25:33 <sech1> this is xmrig fee, p2pool has 0% fee
20:25:52 <sech1> it's the same with any other 0% pool
20:26:37 <atheos[m]> ah got it. So XMRIG has forced 1% Donate with no way to control it ?
20:28:12 <atheos[m]> or I need to compile to modify that ?
20:28:15 <Hisha_> if you compile xmrig yourself you can set it to 0
20:28:59 <URoRRuRRR[m]> But it's always nice to help the developers though right?
20:29:30 <Hisha_> why I have mine left at 1%
20:30:27 <atheos[m]> 1% is insignificant for a individual miner like me anyways :) I was only curious on why thats the case
20:31:14 <garth> Navigate to XMRig/src directory. Edit donate.h file to make fee 0. Then build from source
20:32:10 <garth> But I always bump mine to 2% to support XMRig devs
20:32:19 <atheos[m]> garth: yea just read about it :) Not going to do it , but good to know how to do it. and also that donate % is actually going to the developer
20:33:53 <pauliouk> hmm, shame they didn't mine with p2pool :)
20:34:28 <pauliouk> well one of them does for sure, but dunno about the others :P
