I just setup my own multi merged p2pool (LINUX VERSION) (BTCwith all the alt coins) on my local network and it's running nicely.
All the chains are fully updated and the p2pool keeps receiving information.
Trying to mine on it works, shares get accepted, but the overview keeps on displaying the following line:
"Shares: 0 (0 orphan, 0 dead) Stale rate: Efficiency: Current payout: 0.0000 BTC"
...
Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong??
Is this normal behavior of p2pool? When does the p2pool actually increases the "shares"?
There are two different kinds of shares. Your miner reports finding pseudo shares that are typically difficulty 1. P2Pool's console output is reporting real shares that are difficulty in the hundreds. Most pseudo shares are not real shares. As someone else mentioned, the p2pool console output also includes a line that estimates how long (on average) it will take to find a real share based on your recent hashrate. For the record, you are wasting time mining with only 21.4 MH/s or at least wasting electricity and money even if you are doing this just for fun. It will take you an insane amount of time to find a share and your earnings will not outweigh the costs of your mining.
Also, how does the p2pool add the alt coin deposits? I cannot see any other accounts made than " " on the alt coin daemons.
Alt-coin merged mining is not pooled. When you find an entire block based on your own mining effort, that payment will appear in your alt coin client just as if you were solo mining that alt-coin.
