Hello all.

I have been giving p2pool a chance, for over three weeks now and i've seen quite some shares and blocks coming in. The Antminer S1's doing well... Very low latency and DOA node (minehammer.com).

So far so good, but... the rewards are lower than any other pool i've tested so far! See attached image.

I am expecting at least 0.048 for my 800Gh/s.
Highest payout has been 0.041 (once), lowest 0.025

Tried setting pseudo-difficulty higher to 1k for another week with no difference.

Is this what i can expect from p2pool or will get things better over time? I can't imagine i've to be patient for weeks to have pplns to settle...

I'm using 4 x antminer S1 on one wallet address. Also tried splitting up w/o avail.

Thanks for any advice and input!

I've tried to understand the way this site accepts new servers, but it's a complete riddle to me.
The list includes servers with lousy uptime, lousy latency and several with no miners at all.
Dedicated servers like ours (minehammer.com) are not on the list and there is no "submit" button.

Maybe the webmaster of p2pool-nodes.info - if he comes along - can shine some light on this.


Kind regards,

Martin Beek.

Please remove this pool from the list. We have stopped this pool after a few moths of 0 miners ;-)
I have dedicated our servers to a public P2Pool node.

Thanks and kind regards,

Martin Beek

Hello all.

New public node on dedicated server in Contabo's new datacentre in Muenchen (Germany): www.minehammer.com  (Bitcoin)

Muenchen::Germany::178.238.237.252:9332::0.5::Bitcoin::MineHammer::Martin Beek

I'm currently working on a redundant server setup w. an Amsterdam mirror, so it's better to use the domain name instead of the IP address: http://minehammer.com:9332

Cheers!

Stop ego mining, start sharing! That's our motto at the Angel Miners pool.

The Angel Miners Pool has the most revolutionary and transparent fee-policy of all mining pools: we charge an outrageous mining fee of 25% !

We pay you 75% of your income based on the PPLNS method (pay per last 'n' shares) and we keep the rest... That would sound like robbery in any other perspective...
 

The Angel Miners Pool spends 25% of it's Bitcoin mining revenue on charity! 2% of which is kept by the pool for maintenance and infrastructure. We let you vote on your personal charity from a selected flavor of reputable International projects. We distribute the remaining 23% of our mining income among the charity projects proportionally to the miners' votes. Donations are made on a 30 day basis.

This is 2014, this is charity 2.0!


Please read about our pool and our mission at https://www.angelminers.org


We'd like to invite you to participate in our 2 month beta test period, through may 1 2014.
During the test period you'll be rewarded 1BTC if you mine a block.


Thanks and kind regards,

Martin Beek.

Hi all.  Just a few tips from someone who has overclocked many S1-s over the last few months. Specially the enabling of the asic autoprobe mode (tip #3) delivers optimum settings and performance.

Just my two cents.


1) Use the "joe" editor instead of the "vi" editor. It saves you a lot of irritation... Joe is much easier to use.
How:
- login to your miner, go to the System Tab, got to the Software sub-tab 
- click the small "Update Lists" button
- enter: joe  in the "Download and install package:" input box and press the OK button at the right
This will install the joe editor on your miner.

Commands:  joe
Just start moving around and editing your file. Press simultaneously to enter command mode , e.g. press H for help (+k H).
Press -k x  to save and exit.

(assuming that you are logged in to your miner using a secure-shell program)
2) Edit the /etc/config/cgminer file using "joe" ( joe /etc/config/cgminer ) as per instructions in this thread, changing option chip_frequency to '400' and option miner_count to '35' although the latter is obsolete after the following tip 3.


3) Edit the /etc/init.d/cgminer file to enable the automatic detection and hardware optimization that cgminer can perform on your Antminer!
joe /etc/init.d/cgminer

Change the line: $APP --lowmem --bitmain-options 115200:32:8:$_T0:$_cf:$_regv -q >/dev/null 2>&1
to: $APP --bitmain-auto -q >/dev/null 2>&1

This will auto-probe and install the optimal settings for your asic, depending on the frequency chosen in step 2
You can now choose to save and exit joe:  -k x

4) If you want to run on multiple pools simultaneously, balancing your miner's resources, add "--balance" to the line above, so that it becomes:
$APP --bitmain-auto --balance -q >/dev/null 2>&1

Reboot your miner.


I run three miners (different batches w. the 2014-2-7 firmware) @ www.angelminers.org with these settings and they perform great!
 
By the way, here is a great video with simple instructions on how to upgrade your S1's firware: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIAvtb2SnJY


Cheers!

Martin.
