Dear PROs, can someone post an instruction on how to start jtoomims forked node. I cloned one from github, run it - and it keeps saying "Unknown share type 16"
I got usual p2pool node on that machine and it worked fine.
Hello, keke51. You need to connect your node to one of the jtoomimnet nodes, using the "-n [url:port]" command-line option. jtoomimnet's sharechain is incompatible with mainnet's sharechain, which is why you're getting the "Unknown share type 16" error. jtoomimnet's protocol version number is 32; mainnet's is 16.
For example, here are instructions for connecting your node to jtoomim's node, among others:
...
To connect to me: run_p2pool.py -n ml.toom.im:9333
...
You are also encouraged to publicly share your node details here, once you've set up your node. It would go a long way in helping jtoomim with the further testing of his fork.
If you want to contribute to the networked chain for share propagation testing, please clone
https://github.com/jtoomim/p2pool/commits/1mb_hardforked, then configure your node to point to the previous poster's node (e.g. python run_p2pool.py -n previous_node), then list your node IP, what it's connected to, what type and speed of CPU you're using, how fat your pipe is, and whether you're using pypy or CPython (the regular python). Example, and to start us off:
Node IP: ml.toom.im (default ports)
Connected to: ml.toom.im:9334 and :9336 (or :9335 and :9337 for p2p ports)
To connect to me: run_p2pool.py -n ml.toom.im:9333
CPU: Core i7 4790k 4.0 GHz
Pipe: 100m/100m fiber
Using: pypy 2.4.0
