Re: [3500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
Well when recoding p2pool, It would be Nice to solve the "payload too long" issue as well.
Does somebody know how to deal with this?

So doing some digging, the "payload too long" error comes about when a packet's length is greater than max_payload_length. This can be seen in p2pool/util/p2protocol.py.
This is called from p2pool/bitcoin/p2p.py and p2pool/p2p.py where it sets max_payload_length to 1,000,000.
I am going to change the code to print out the packet size, as well as, change the max_payload_length to twice the size. I will let the code run for awhile and see what happens and report back.
If I'm correct the 'maxblocksize' is hardcoded to 1MB into the Bitcoin protocol. So I guess changing the payload length does do the trick within P2Pool code (until the blocksize will be increased). Well it is still unclear to me what part of the code you have changed. Logically it had to do with Bitcoin Core which is responsible for "packaging" the block and verify the hash of it. It would be awesome if you still could update us with news. I've also updated my Bitcoin Core and I'm waiting for a long blocktime with lots of transactions to debug my new setup. So, I'll keep you guys posted! Thanks!
