Edit: The only time you will drown your network is when you sync your wallets/p2pool (ie: restarts etc).

...as can be seen, my usage rarely goes above 40kBs download & 34kBs upload, so running one p2pool node & one Bitcoin wallet is not a problem on even the slowest ADSL line. It's simply a case of setting maxconnections on your wallets & making sure your QOS settings are right, no changes to p2pool connections are needed - I use the standard settings. If you are still having bottleneck issues/slowdowns after checking your settings then it's time to buy a new router......Edit: The only time you will drown your network is when you sync your wallets/p2pool (ie: restarts etc).

Possibly you are correct. I need to fire up league of legends, watch the ping and do some analysis. I have a very basic setup right now.



To be clear, it's not like the connection is swamped, it's just that gaming is sensitive. I need to take another look at the QOS because turning that on killed my p2p payouts back in the day. But I may have been over-throttling bitcoind. Possibly you are correct. I need to fire up league of legends, watch the ping and do some analysis.

And that's why you've got my spare mining nodes pointed in your direction...

Let's hope more test the waters soon. It will take much more than just us few on p2pool to bring mining consensus to BitcoinXT.

Hey JB, the switch (fork) wont happen until Jan 2016 if, and only if, 75% of all blocks mined come from XT, right now it's 0 risk and a way to support a block size increase.



BitcoinXT and Bitcoin Core both share the same data directories and block files, you can switch between XT and Core today with the same data directory with no problem at any time.



Download and fire up XT for a few minuets, it is largely the same as QT (there is a diff on git), with the exception of the scheduled fork in Jan 2016 (if 75% of mined blocks vote for it) and a couple other things outlined on the git repo.



If you don't like it for some reason, you can switch back to core in a matter of seconds...

Last edit: August 16, 2015, 07:03:48 AM by jtoomim #13251 Toomim Bros operates two p2pool nodes. We are planning on switching one of those nodes to use Bitcoin XT soon, and leave the other one on Bitcoin Core. That way, our customers can choose whichever node they want in order to make their own vote for how Bitcoin should be run. I'll let you know when we make those changes. Everyone is welcome to use these nodes, though you won't have great mining efficiency unless you're inside our datacenter.



We also will probably be changing our IP address for these nodes soon. I'll publish details about the new IP and which node will be using XT once we're ready to make the changes.



So far, Bitcoin Core (and consequently all Bitcoin protocol) development has progressed on a consensus model. All of the main developers have to agree to a change in order for it to take effect. For any important change, there will always be some people who are unhappy about it, so consensus only works for making important changes in oligarchies, and even in oligarchies, it doesn't work well. We at Toomim Bros think that decisions about how Bitcoin should operate ought to be democratized. As such, we support the existence of Bitcoin XT and think that all miners should have the option to choose which version they wish to support and use.



Toomim Bros also thinks that 1 MB is way too small, and that the network can and should support larger blocks. We think that one goal for Bitcoin should be minimizing the real cost per transaction. Currently, that cost is supported primarily by the block subsidy, and runs at about 65 kWh per transaction. (300 MW mining network, 1.27 transactions per second.) That's about $4 per transaction. Increasing the transaction volume would not directly require any significant increase in the mining network power consumption, so it would reduce the real cost per transaction. Our facility spends about 80x as much on electricity as it does on internet connectivity. We do not think large blocks will present a large burden on smaller bitcoin miners like us.



As such, we will be putting the miners owned by Toomim Bros (the company) and the Toomim brothers (the individuals) on XT soon.



Edit: We're running XT on our p2pool node 74.82.233.205:9334, and Core on our p2pool node 74.82.233.205:9332. $65 to $80/kW/month on clean, cheap hydro power.

It's not just "try it to see that it's OK" since there is nothing to see, it's: "try it and thus you may not realise it but you are voting for it"

Trying it is voting to use it.

So people should decide that before trying it - since you won't see anything by trying it. ... and just using it is a vote in favour of it ...Which is why I made the drug dealer reference.It's not just "try it to see that it's OK" since there is nothing to see, it's: "try it and thus you may not realise it but you are voting for it"Trying it is voting to use it.So people should decide that before trying it - since you won't see anything by trying it.
