Don't want to jinx it, but that Average effort is dropping nicely.

People keep talking about feeling like something is wrong because they're not getting shares, but I think it's just a form of frequency illusion like the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon. If you're pool mining you don't even know that you got a share most of the time and you don't monitor it as closely. But with p2pool you notice every share.

agreed

QuickBASIC: when I first started p2pool there were roughly 15 miners. The code was changing daily and also the command options for all the moving parts. Docs were limited and my hashrate pretty limited. As things evolved and my understanding has improved, so has my confidence. The FAQ is a huge help, but something more in depth would surely benefit new users.

Waiting for hours/days wondering if a setting is a little off can get in your head 😂

I suppose some form of confirmation that its all working correctly would help. I guess suggesting they set a lower difficulty on xmrig and if they see 'Accepted' shares, then its all working. Once they land their first share in a window that gets 10 blocks paying out, they'll soon shut up :)

Yep lol

(biggest hash rate on eth network letting you bypass the traditional way of getting txns via broadcasting)

also means less "public" trade sniping

very interesting read

> Miners today leave money on the table by not acting on these opportunities. In the future, they will reorder and submit transactions in their mempools for their benefit. Even worse, they could reorg blocks mined by other miners, in an attempt to steal MEV which was not claimed by them, resulting in chain instability.

damn

this is what you get on a transparent chain

"To our surprise, the get transaction would get rejected by Infura " >>> a whole decentralized world computer runs on 1 centralized company

It's not like an average Joe can spin up an ETH node

Gave up on having one, tried different software, long term it just kept issues popping up

had one in 2018

this p2pool share found a Monero block that has given rewards to 53 miners at the same time, new record p2pool.observer/share/f364171ed1065…fffc733b04c4254bf57f48544d14a800e5c
