sech1/whoever runs p2pool.observer, some good comments in here that would help improve usability of p2pool: twitter.com/vikrantnyc/status/1459287640583413760?s=20

i.e. i'm sure vik isn't the only one with these q's.

that would be Mr DataHoarder :)

crypto_grampy[m]: I believe they haven't found shares, just while syncing

like, low difficulty shares that show up when you have a miner attached when you first have p2pool

pretty sure they don't have 17 shares found just after startup

on current difficulty, would be nice :)

maybe point them to p2pool.observer/calculate-share-time

I'd be happy with 1 share found within a day of start up :P

should i set a custom fixed difficulty? i get jobs but nothing is accepted when running without a fixed difficulty

it won't hurt and you will be able to see accepted

is there a way to set it so it self-adjusts?

in p2pool? No

just set it to 30 * hashrate of your miner

okay thanks sech1

orangeboxcutter: note these "accepted" jobs won't count as shares unless they fit p2pool difficulty

so i'm better off leaving it as is and letting it run

DataHoarder

you can have the fixed difficulty, it's fine

hmmm sech1 just grabbed the current git and tried to build: paste.debian.net/1219496 Debian 9, all packages up to date

uint64_t*>(id.h); it highlighted the closing backet

*bracket

what compiler version is it?

run gcc --version

gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516

I'll try an upgrade see if it clears it

or add -fno-strict-aliasing to the flags here: github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/blob/master/cmake/flags.cmake#L10

I'll give it a shot

yup clean compile

you can also build and run tests to be sure this compiler is adequate

I haven't tested such old version

yeah the vps's are due a dist-upgrade

a thought: if majority of miners increment nonce from 0 up, there is a payoff advantage in running a miner that starts from maxint and decrements to 0

while random distribution should mean that either side should win with equal probability, being one of only a few miners to start from the top and work down means fewer other miners to share with

...perhaps only interesting for solo mining...

hmm, would that apply to p2pool? bit of an odd one

On p2pool you have different hashes that everyone else

given hash of your share is in txextra

and your share includes adding more payout to yourself

same for solomining I guess

you all have different base hashes

(also different tx privkeys)

Afaik hyc on solo mining each user also has their own privkey and payout address, which is hashes into the hashing blob

So it’s all different starting points
