Thx!

Thx

Made just deal for 5 miners. hope everything will run nice and without problems.

i have my own very stabile and effective node and don't need to look for other one. i just used for testing purposes other public nodes to have comparison to my own node also.
if i look this node than in the first moment it looks as they have to high dead rate and their efficiency is not at this moment very high neither. for my purposes some other nodes were better.

that is exactly what i was saying: one month is not enough to get real overview.
NMC/DVC/IXC amounts are already included to my total. this "extra money" is such marginal that it was for me even not worth to mention. per 1 BTC you usually mine round 2NMC so there it makes difference of 0.01BTC. IXC and DVC bring even less.

everything between 0.2 and 0.5 is OK. even 0.7 is ok if efficiency is round 100%.
going lower is just contra productive: you will get less fees and don't win anything.

Low latency is not the most important thing and tuning it very much down can bring many other problems like low shares, to high memory usage etc.

Sorry, i did not try to sell you anything.  

My reference miner mined ca 3% more in p2pool (not even in my own node). to give here proofs is to much extra work for me. i had in every pool 2 BFL 60 GH Singles mining and payouts were following between 15.january and 15 march:
Ghash.io - 1.012 BTC
Eligius - 0.997 BTC
P2pool - 1.027 BTC
btcguild - 0.962 BTC
of course this difference is not huge but in the end it makes some $. only advantage of big pools was that i did not have to check and restart my miners every week. in p2pool i had to check all the time how my miners were working, restart them or even change the node (there are not many stabile nodes out there - sad but truth).


thats good idea to do it, even if 2 weeks timeframe is too short for real comparison. you need in p2pool 3 days until your miner reach full payout height, in eligius it goes much faster.
and please just change the miners in one week (elegies to p2pool and other way) to get real numbers. hash rate of miners can seem to be same, but every miner is different, so changing them guarantees that both pools have equal chances.

sure you get paid out with higher frequency, it does not mean that there is no variance.

sometimes p2pool does not make block several days and then makes 2 or 3 in wiry short time. daily payouts in other pools are day to day different too.
variance is a so to say "relative function" and depending what kind of timeframe you take as mirror.

it is not important how many payouts you have per day, week or month but its important how much BTC you get paid out in this timeframe. if you chose short timeframe you can speak about big variance. every longer timeframe that smaller variance. i don´t care (and for sure most of miners don´t) how often i get payouts, more important is how much i get paid out in the end.

of course if you have to sell your BTC daily, then it is easier to mine in some huge pool and enjoy this BTC or USD daily.

my variance i count per month and so p2pool did not disappoint me yet. monthly (income)variance speaks clear for p2pool.

of course it can be that small(er) miners have different experiences.

it will be always big discussion which pool has better payouts. if we are only "thinking" about it this discussion is senseless...
i have reference miners in different pools since 2 months and can say pretty clear that mining in eligius is for sure not more effective than mining  in p2pool. even with lots of bad luck in p2pool last few months i have better payouts in p2pool.

it looks like p2pool has a big variance, but in reality every pool has some variances. p2pool maybe does not find a block some days long and we speak already about "big loss and variance", but nobody recognizes when other pools with huge hash rate has daily payout drop of 30-40% and that sometimes several days.

payout stability of ghash.io, btcguild, eligius etc. is a myth. everyone has low payout phases and mostly this "lows" make payout in in the end (long terms) worse than it is in p2pool.

Those are my real experiences and not just what i am thinking.

for sure it does not have big sense to have own node for such small hash power. you should connect your power then at least to one node where are already some miners, so you will have little better chance to find a share. or try to find some more miner for your own node.

if you find somebody, i would like to be in too. my funds are not huge but enough to take a part of class-action lawsuit.

i had long ago same problem and the solution is really -a. i do not really remember anymore how it really worked but it is possible to get back this coins. i am sure that here are many people who can help you to find solution.

main thing why i am writing about is that your problem has same background as my long ago: bitcoin-QT told you that you have to pay fee 0.0004BTC (it often happens virgin coins) but you paid only 0.00004, so 10 times less. try to be more careful next time to avoid that it happens again. i needed 3 weeks until i had my coins back...

sure its only yen. about btw there is a no word. and i am pretty sure that there ar even not pending payments/withdrawals included.

dream on!
you can't sell your acc just so....

depending of miner hash rate you will see full results first in 3 days. if block is already longer "in work" you will not get/reach in first block full payout. P2pool is hop-proof pool.
in some alcoin p2pools you can see results earlier depending of block frequency of this coin and several other factors.

those settings are just basics. to find right settings for your node you just have to test a lot. i needed 3weeks to find optimal settings for my node and i am still not really ready. small changes i still have to make.

there are just to many factors which can influence efficiency of your node, so everybody has to test it out.

with mxconnections i was playing around pretty long too, but i did not really see big advantages by changing it as it is described here. many other things the same.

now your node shows 2 shares. considering your uptime it is ok.  both shares are probably made by your miner 1JiWFoe6QaE7N6mv2HBkjr4izuDX3cqDQQ. little patience and i think all will be ok.
it can be that both miners made one share and because you have 50%fee one of the shares is going to your node wallet. as you can see your node is "earning" more than your miners.
as far i cold notice there is no differences which version cgminer you have, results are practically equal. my miner with 4.0.1 work fine and i don´t see any difference to miners with 3.9.0.

merged mining in p2pool node is wast of resources. latency will go higher and memory usage is very high too. my experience says that it is contra productive to mine them.
when i tested to mine merged coins in my node, efficiency of nod was much lower. most of nodes make merged mining to cover costs, but usually it is not worth it. since i don't have merced coins in my node it functions perfect and payouts are much better than with merged mining.
better set 1% of fee on your public node to cover your costs instead of mining hidden merged coins. if somebody is mining in your node without merged mining, he gets better payouts with 1% of fee than 0% fee and merged mining.

only about your "limited choce here":

1. gox dead or alive: 50%; cumulative odds 50% (right this is truth)
2. you KNOW that cold wallets are untouched? i don´t think so... it is for sure not a fact, so: 50% here also; cumulative odds 25%
3. if this cold wallets are still full can they be accessed in near future: 50% (Truth); cumulative odds 12,5%
4. fact is that their software itself is so fucked up that nobody really knows are they even able to organize everything again: 50%; cumulative odds 6,25%
5. do we really know anything about facts? chance 1:4 (i just make it up myself, so only my opinion, so: max 25%; cumulative odds ca 1,56%

all single chances can vary but in the end i think there will be only those odds what everybody makes up for himself. it is nice to write about "facts" which are actually not a facts... so only speculations.

there are only two (three) facts:
1. gox was not able to make correct payouts already 2012.
2. gox closed their doors without giving us any informations.
(3. Karpeles ist just a asshole.)

everything else is just speculation. i am (personally) sure that considering those facts our chances to hear/get any other facts will be max 3%.

PS: you are a really conservative poker player.

speculating does not need facts, mostly rumors are enough. odds are anyway everybody's personal issue and for sure i´m not able to calculate your odds. so as always most important is to have:
possibly many facts (practically no real facts in case of gox);
hear/collect all rumors (lots of them out there);
have a bunch of intuition (very personal sensible skill);
Sort all this with bit of analysis skills (without that better don´t speculate);
set your own high/low limits (thats how you can measure your odds);

playing poker, you do not know your opposites cards (facts) neither, but if you are skipping calculating odds (winning chances) then better do not play poker...

if we would have ALL facts, we would not need to calculate odds.
