Is there a way to minimize or increase performance on either bitcoin or p2pool
Warning: LOST CONTACT WITH BITCOIND for 1.8 minutes! Check that it isn't frozen or dead
The stats on my p2pool for bitcoin are really slow
bitcoind and p2pool are running on the same machine
thx
See gyverlb's
guide for tips on how to maximize your P2Pool node's performance. It may be a little outdated, but most of the tips and pointers there still hold true today.
Please ignore the bits that suggest setting and tuning a
blockmaxsize value. The
blockmaxsize parameter
has been deprecated in favor of the
blockmaxweight parameter, which you should set to a suggested maximum of
3950000.
If you have a system with a reasonably fast CPU (one with a base clock of at least 2.4 GHz) and at least 4 GB of RAM, you may want to try out
jtoomim's 1mb_segwit fork, if you aren't already, which promises better overall performance and reward fairness.
Using PyPy to run 1mb_segwit is highly recommended for maximum performance.
