03:07:23 <nomadicsound[m]> so i just started mining on p2pool. installed on manjaro linux, everything seems to be chugging along fine. how long does it take to start seeing pay outs?
03:09:44 <nomadicsound[m]> disclaimer: i am total noob to mining and linux and barely have any clue what im doing
03:17:11 <nioc> nomadicsound[m]: you get paid whenever you have found an active share on p2pool and the pool finds a block
03:17:40 <nioc> The shares remain active for about 6hrs
03:18:33 <nomadicsound[m]> ive had the terminal window show "block found" 3 or 4 times now but ive only been up and running maybe 2 hours? so you're saying it takes at least 6 hours?
03:19:00 <nioc> If you type status in your p2pool node it will show any shares that you have on a timeline
03:19:26 <nomadicsound[m]> interesting. can you define a "share"?
03:19:41 <nomadicsound[m]> or point me to a resource to research?
03:19:56 <merope> It's a valid result submitted to the pool and accepted by it
03:20:29 <merope> Which in the case of p2pool is effectively a block on the p2pool sidechain
03:21:24 <merope> And sometimes those sidechain blocks can also be a valid solution for the main Monero chain (which means the pool has found a block and is going to get paid for it)
03:23:23 <nioc> If you join #p2pool-log , that is the irc address for the channel, there is a bot that you can pm your address and it will notify when you get a share
03:24:02 <nioc> Also a better place for general help
03:25:07 <nomadicsound[m]> so when i typed status into p2pool terminal under "stratumServer" status it says shares found 20 but above that under "SideChain" status it says your shares 0"
03:26:54 <nomadicsound[m]> nioc: I've joined this channel via element client for matrix, how would i pm the bot?
23:35:26 <garth> Woo P2pool is over 600 instances
