Although it seems to counter logic, a high rejection rate doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong or missing some kind of detail. It means there COULD be something wrong, sure, but it can still happen even if everything is fine. If you're getting 8.5MH then you should pull 34 VTC in a day. If that's what you're mining, you're fine.

Gotcha.  Thanks.  I appreciate it.  I ran a couple speeds tests and noticed I wasn't getting what I was supposed to so I called my ISP and they did something but wouldn't tell me and that brought me back down to a normal range, still higher than I'd like to be but better.  Thanks again.
Try changing the wireless channel if you are connected wireless. Perhaps one of your direct neighbours is using the same channel. i'm getting a reject of max 5% on my node connected via wire.


Wired connection is best way to stay away from connectivity problems. Some may find it is not practical due to distance or obstacles then only have wireless option.

Sometimes the wireless receiver also plays a part if it an external usb receiver.

As Kartoffelknilch said you need to think about what channel you are using if using 2.4GHz range coz there are only 3 non-overlapping channels (1,6,11) and in a scan if many people utilizing the same channel (ex. 6) use a different channel in your setup (ex. 1 or 11).

Best way is using 5GHz range since there are many non-overlapping channels and low noise/interference from other sources.

All above can be a reason for connectivity and therefore rejections.

My p2pool vertcoin node now includes Monocle support.  No stats yet (like most) but I am working on making a stats page from the data stored in the redis database used for payouts.


stratum+tcp://nesemu2.com:9555

user: vertcoin address
pass: monocle address

Thanks

You can find a stats page here: https://github.com/Cooba13/proxypool-simplestats/

Works quite well, you can see it in action on my node. (see signature)

And run the modern front end https://github.com/johndoe75/p2pool-node-status

Solo mining is not a decentralized option for Mon

Solomining is as decentralised as it gets!

I thought about this and I guess you are correct.

Solo mining is not a decentralized option for Mon. One of the purpose of Mon was to strengthen the p2pool. But now it is in reverse order where centralized pools are getting bigger. PLX has speed up this more or less. Effectively miners compete each other and large variance is an issue for newcomers. And not all people have resources to setup a own node specially miners running bamt.

Having said that is there a way in github to add a proxy pool for PLX and do triple merged mining on a public p2pool?

.....
So to summarize: the payout script was buggy until ~Thursday 9th of May, some people got paid too much, some people too little, and mining on a proxy p2pool requires patience as variance can be high and payments go out on a last come, first serve basis!

Is this fix merged to github proxypool?

My p2pool node finally found a MON block with its lowly ~200kh/s, so the first MON payments have gone out Cheesy

There are a few addresses in the unpaid list with <1.0 MON due that aren't being paid atm because the minimum transaction is set to 1.0MON.



Set it to 0.4MON

After having probs with payout i decided to try to set up my onwn 2p2pool only for myself.

Never did it before and have no experience. After using this link coingolem.com/how-to-setup-your-own-p2pool-node-windows-212/
i am now running my own pool for mining VTC on my on Pool in VTC Network 1 / 2 or 3

Now the next steop would be to setup to the merge it with mon.

Could someone give me a quick kick where to find how to go on - thanks Wink

in Windows proxypool doesn't work. But you can merged mining for yourself (solo)

Anyone will help me in one question?

I started to mine whatwhatever.kn.vutbr.cz/proxypool/ like over 15 hours ago...
here is my spec: http://whatever.kn.vutbr.cz/proxypool/?vtc=Vt2XA43QYbf9HQGSmLRjAeyir9mtbKgu9H&mon=MEuH6FfqQunZ74yiZaxeAJvVVjPUDypzsW
till now I got just few in total coins paid... and see like over 20vtc and 88mon are awaiting payments... and its like this and rising from a whole (but in meantime I am getting all time coins in amount like 0.1 which I dont understand why and how :/)...

So questions are:
- am I safe in this?
- Should I wait in calm for coins to arrive?
- Is here owner of this node somwhere so I can ask when payment can expect?


Generally I was not able and wont be able even maybe for days to put own node... thats why I chosed someone (and not pool to make this decentralization...)... But now I am wondering if I wont be robbed by them ...

Please anyone advices

thanks

-Mostly you have to wait some time, even with 10MH/s, hahaha, coins need to mature 120 blocks to get paid.
- Minimum payment for vtc is 0.1 so you will get 0.1vtc payments, normal.
- Owner is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=251873 i guess

There are many p2pool nodes in all 3 networks with merged mining stats with paid and unpaid VTC & MON information. For those who mined at p2pool before take a shot with new web dashboard by Cooba13.

This displays each miners vtc hash rate accurately which was missing in original dashboard.

github : https://github.com/Cooba13/proxypool-simplestats

example stats : http://whatever.kn.vutbr.cz/proxypool/

https://i.imgur.com/VvqN18f.png

Being decentralized, the front ends for p2pool are built by community and takes some time. But it will be done eventually fellow Vertans. Even devs will come out with a proper decentralized merged mining in future. Just need to give them time and I think they are not get paid for dev hours???

Take note that the most important thing is your coin income and decentralizing the mining operations. Stats also needed to estimate and predicted income.

I'm not against the traditional pools here. We need best of both worlds with a balanced hash rates between p2pool and traditional pools.

I just noticed all the pools listed in OP end in  9555. My local p2pool is on 9174. Is my set up wrong?

After the merge mining you can still see web front end at port 9174. For merged mining stats take a look at  https://github.com/Cooba13/proxypool-simplestats

Encourage you guys to merged mine at p2pool nodes. There are so many supported nodes and updated information.

We need to strengthen the p2pool for VTC and MON.

+1

Vert p2p is time tested...be patient...give it 24 hours to account for variance. Ping each node to see which is closest to minimize latency and have at it.

Diggin the MON... Smiley

No need to ping anymore. Use combined scanner which automatically sorted by latency.
http://coin.cubeconnex.com/poollist/

Take note that "Merged mine" is not accurately display all merged mining enabled nodes.
Open scanner and see the fronpage of it see whether node operators announced the merged mining.

If I understand correctly, p2pool node wallet collects the MON first and then sends out later to miners.

In that case need to protect the MON wallet using encryption, right?

I received nothing from neither pools:

stratum+tcp://p2pool.vtcpool.co.uk:9555
stratum+tcp://vtc.cubeconnex.com:9555


Nothing. Zero VTC or MON. Mining since 7pm UK time.

I am also mining on Boris pool since 8h now without any payout on MON and VTC
Thats my Mon Adress if it helps to make a research - MWFPJb1h3oMXJPZ6yxPWVedv3GPxGbSSQf

I have been mining since the launch.
I can see that I have mined coin BUT I still have not gotten paid.

This is what I see on the page:
2.457694975250 VTC (Paid: 43.27346220 VTC)
1.444222468860 MON (Paid: 0.00000000 MON)

I am mining at ny.p2proxy.net:9555 (http://p2proxy.net/)



any ideas?Huh


I read somewhere o here that that site may belong to one of the developers....



Your MON coins needs to be send manually using sendtoaddress command or you can write a script to do it automatically. See page 7 for details. In case you are running your own node..

It is not only MON that is not showing in my wallet it is also the Vert. the  43.273 vtc you see p thee was prior to the launch.

Is this going to get paid into the wallet or are those coin lost

Had enough time to mature those MONs to be paid?

I will speak for vtc.cubeconnex.com.  I am as anxious about the pool paying the miners as you are anxious about payment.  The pool is receiving both coins but they are immatured ie no payout yet.  The system is very new and there are a lot to learn about how it works.  One thing for sure.  I am monitoring the pool closely and will hop onto any problem when it appears.

Thanks man. I appriciate the reply  Smiley

I like to update all the loyal and dedicated miners of vtc.cubeconnex.com:9555 pool.  This is 'first seconds' reporting:

Payout program is sending out coins to all the miners as seen from a snapshot of the pool's log:

2014-05-03 10:08:57.228211 Saving mon per user transaction information

2014-05-03 10:09:23.482936 MG3KSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1.21400666 MON

And congratulations to miners who are well rewarded with MONs! 

Our pool has gotten a slow start due to technical difficulties and a bug with the new payout program.  BUT we are now back on track. 

With the first payout (and MORE to come), I can happily announce that vtc.cubeconnex.com:9555 Vertcoin+MON merged mining pool is LIVE!  If you are in or near Asia and you have a low latency with vtc.cubeconnex.com, come to our poor and enjoy low rejection/bad shares = more pay.  You can check out your latency score at http://coin.cubeconnex.com/poollist

Now, I like to move on to stats.  I just found out that there are good stats hidden in the sql database and I will get it out to display to the users.  I wonder how the couple of websites can have the user-stats display ready when Vertcoin merged mining and Monocle are both so new. In fact, they were just released a few hours ago.  That makes one wonder about if we can ever have a level-playing field here.
Good luck. Somebody mining at your pool with 9+MH/s for VTC only. Looks like he forget what day today is, hahahaha
