How P2Pool Stratum works - How to find the Pool fee
-
Just been updating my P2Pool with the the “enhanced front end” (finally) and am looking at integrating that into a Feathercoin P2pool with eFE and Feathercoin Graphics.
- I just found an interesting tip I never saw before, how to find the the fee of a P2pool mining pool.

That shows the fee of the P2Pool. It’s a tip I found in a very good round up of how to set up a P2Pool and pays out by

I also found this P2Pool round-up of this how stratum works to very informative read.

Further to my P2Pool post, I was struggling to find how the P2Pool fees are paid out. Like a lot of Pool operators the 1% fee never seems to be paid when it should do.
Basically, the fee percentage sets the chance that when a worker requests new work they’ll be sent work which is assigned to the pool operator’s address instead of themselves. So if your fee is set to 1% then on average each worker connected to that pool will submit 1% of their shares as if they had entered your address as their username instead of their own.
Over time you should end up with 1% of the total shares on your node paying out to your address instead of the worker who found them. The trouble is the variance. If your node’s local hash rate is 4MH/s then your virtual 1% miner is only 40kH/s, and the payout is exactly as patchy as for a small time miner like that.

Very nice info wrapper.
I’ve always wanted to join the poolers either with a p2pool or one of the infinite mpos clones around. I also have a dual xeon server with 16 Gb of RAM lying in my house but that fu__ing beast uses way toooo much electricity. I’m actually not so sure I would be able to pay for the electricity costs even if I set up an 1% fee public node!
Not to speak of the noise… >:D

Is it costing you a lot to keep the node running?
and was that you that slapped another asic running on it today Wrapper? :P
Only have 700khs pointed at the FTC p2p, much prefer to mine that way over big pools though :)
