00:28:02 <pauliouk> Don't want to jinx it, but that Average effort is dropping nicely.
02:50:04 <QuickBASIC> 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.
03:18:32 <hyc> agreed
10:34:33 <EDad> 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.
10:35:29 <EDad> Waiting for hours/days wondering if a setting is a little off can get in your head 😂
10:57:41 <pauliouk> 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 :)
11:08:02 <EDad> Yep lol

11:24:46 <utxobr[m]> (biggest hash rate on eth network letting you bypass the traditional way of getting txns via broadcasting)
11:25:38 <DataHoarder> also means less "public" trade sniping
11:26:11 <sech1> utxobr and the reason is https://www.paradigm.xyz/2020/08/ethereum-is-a-dark-forest/
11:27:10 <sech1> very interesting read
11:30:55 <utxobr[m]> > 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.
11:30:55 <utxobr[m]> damn
11:42:45 <sech1> this is what you get on a transparent chain
12:10:25 <gingeropolous> "To our surprise, the get transaction would get rejected by Infura " >>> a whole decentralized world computer runs on 1 centralized company
13:29:20 <sech1> It's not like an average Joe can spin up an ETH node
13:31:37 <DataHoarder> Gave up on having one, tried different software, long term it just kept issues popping up
18:50:23 <Inge> had one in 2018
19:48:38 <DataHoarder> this p2pool share found a Monero block that has given rewards to 53 miners at the same time, new record https://p2pool.observer/share/f364171ed1065eb910fc659e2919efffc733b04c4254bf57f48544d14a800e5c
