i have been crying here several times how p2pool was not consistently paying me. i would get on the payout list and all of the sudden i would be off it, even though i kept mining throughout.
i decided to create my own node and see what happens. i have mined all night last night, and not once did i get off the payout list. i have consistently been getting payouts, FOR EVERY BLOCK!
if you are getting shit results from p2p, just create your own node! i run mine on virtual box instance of linux. it was a bit strange setting it up but once i got it up and running, it has been smooth sailing with P2P!
one thing i noticed is that my miner shows a SHIT TON of HW and zero WU. i thought it was a problem, but the payouts are coming in so maybe it something with my node config. if anyone could shed some light on this, i would be grateful. i am the only miner on my node, if that helps.
Luthan,
You say you run p2pool in a VM, does it have to be run that way?
Would it be possible to run this in a chroot jail?
I'd think a jail would be less overhead than a fullblown VM...
Asking because I want to try this tomorrow. Out of curiosity mostly.
