sometimes blocks don't accounted

[SChernykh]

Yes:

Oct 27 19:38:11 sech1 DataHoarder bot skipped block 2480250 and it's not on the observer site
Oct 27 19:38:41 sech1 because share that found it (1b9a158606234ea69bf93b4c9b8226cc3e2aebaab476d4e2e27f106c400bfa12) is an orphan share
Oct 27 19:38:44 DataHoarder do you have p2pool height?
Oct 27 19:38:45 DataHoarder aha
Oct 27 19:38:54 sech1 someone was mining unsynchronized
Oct 27 19:38:57 DataHoarder yep, it's "tracked" if you go to it directly
Oct 27 19:38:59 pauliouk :|
Oct 27 19:39:05 DataHoarder https://p2pool.observer/share/1b9a158606234ea69bf93b4c9b8226cc3e2aebaab476d4e2e27f106c400bfa12
Oct 27 19:39:25 sech1 but it's not on the main page in the list of mined blocks
Oct 27 19:39:30 DataHoarder blocks found still only reports blocks found in side chain it's synced to
Oct 27 19:39:45 * mfoolb has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
Oct 27 19:39:48 DataHoarder need to do a overhaul of how db/windows works to have orphans/dupes on db
Oct 27 19:39:58 DataHoarder and get rid of uncle notion (in-db)
Oct 27 19:40:10 pauliouk ouch they've been mining a while and not getting lucky
Oct 27 19:40:26 DataHoarder there have been a few like that in the past too
Oct 27 19:40:31 sech1 so that was a network split on RandomX epoch change (pool share 479202 was found when epoch changed)
Oct 27 19:40:36 sech1 which was fixed in v1.2

and

Oct 27 19:45:03 Batty Was on v1.2 did not get get payout for block 2480250, had one share in, about 4hrs old. Saw there was v1.3, just updated to it 5 mins ago. Same, no recognition of 2480250
Oct 27 19:53:01 sech1 Batty block 2480250 was found on an alternative sidechain (there was a network split at block 2480193)
Oct 27 19:53:34 sech1 so all p2pool shares found in ~2 hours between these blocks were probably not counted

[SChernykh]

Since the PPLNS window size was declared as 6 hrs therefore the low mark of it ends by 2021-11-16 14:35:04. But I received payments only up to 2494507 (2021-11-16 12:41:25), and the remaining 5 blocks were ignored and NOT accounted!

PPLNS window is 2160 pool blocks, not 6 hours. Yesterday a big miner joined and hashrate doubled, so it was ~3 hours for a while. You found a share at height 644965 (2021-11-16 08:34:55) and it stayed in window until height 647124 (2021-11-16 13:08:51). The first Monero block found after 2021-11-16 13:08:51 was 2494524, the last Monero block found before that time was 2494507, so everything adds up.

I think I am in the same boat. I have been locally troubleshooting the issue [thinking my multi-purpose VM was the issue] and just finished syncing a new node, on a new VM, to the blockchain to see if that would resolve it. Previously, I would reboot the other VM and I would see "Accepted" results on a resync, but never would see them on the p2pool website.

"block found" that I see since I started using the new node this morning: 2483749 + 2483773 + 2483798
[nothing posted today on p2pool.observer, so I am getting no payouts at all]

[dagl0b3]

same to me (monerod output)
2021-11-02 08:40:57.152 I ----- BLOCK ADDED AS ALTERNATIVE ON HEIGHT 2484325
2021-11-02 08:40:57.152 I id:

2021-11-02 08:40:57.152 I difficulty: 332043350047

but not accounted p2pool.observer

[SChernykh]

BLOCK ADDED AS ALTERNATIVE ON HEIGHT 2484325

This message is not about a mined block at all, it's when an alternative chain is found on the Monero network. Also, p2pool.observer is a separate website, this repository is the wrong place to report bugs related to it.

[phatman81]

I this is ap2pool.observer issue, then I would understand and move this comment, but I don't have a payout in my wallet since 10-30-21. It is not just the observer that is not working, as I should have had at least 2 payouts [more on average] each day with the number of cores I am running...

[SChernykh]

Please provide more concrete evidence, i.e. "I found a p2pool share at X time and there were Y blocks in the next 6 hours but I didn't get paid". So far it just sounds like you didn't find a share since that day. Note that p2pool hashrate is now much higher and it takes longer to find shares.

Also, if you do find a case where your share wasn't paid, send me your log file and share id that wasn't paid.

[SChernykh]

Previously, I would reboot the other VM and I would see "Accepted" results on a resync, but never would see them on the p2pool website.

"Accepted" results in xmrig are not p2pool shares (99.9% of the time) if you're mining with custom difficulty. You need to search for "SHARE FOUND" messages in p2pool.log.

[phatman81]

I am only talking about "BLOCK FOUND" results in p2pool, not from XMRIG. In fact, the only time i saw "Accepted" in XMRIG, was on a resync of p2pool...
These logs are only for the new VM i spun up yesterday. I will have similar results in my other VM from over the last week:

Please advise what other logs you require to resolve this issue as I would like to rejoin the p2pool, but cannot as I get no payouts. I changed to another pool last night and have multiple shares in my pending payout already, so it's not a "lack of hashrate" that is causing my issue

[SChernykh]

Your logs look fine, except for one thing: "StratumServer SHARE FOUND: mainchain height 2483744, diff 100000, client 21.222.0.20:55026 user 48a...Tjv" - don't set wallet address in xmrig, it will be ignored. Only the address you specify in p2pool command line will be used for payouts.

"BLOCK FOUND" message is shown every time any miner on p2pool finds a block. "SHARE FOUND" is shown when you find a share. During initial sync you mine on a separate chain (before you're synced) with low difficulty, so you get "SHARE FOUND" messages.

What is your hashrate? Pool difficulty is ~1.5G now which means for example it takes 14-15 hours on average to find a share with 30 kh/s. Note that "on average" means it's not guaranteed - it can be a few times more if you're unlucky. If you have only 10 kh/s then it can be 3-5 days between found shares.

"BLOCK FOUND" message is shown every time any miner on p2pool finds a block. "SHARE FOUND" is shown when you find a share. During initial sync you mine on a separate chain (before you're synced) with low difficulty, so you get "SHARE FOUND" messages.

You see, these messages are confusing.

1. Can 'block found' msg be shown only in case of finding a block in pplns-window with a found share? I mean showing only accounted blocks as other blocks are not the things of interest in a log/screen (i think everyone would be handier to look through such data on the dedicated page of the observer site).
2. There's almost the same problem with messages 'Share found' right after the p2pool start and syncing. Those shares are dummy and not even connected to mainnet and it would be nice to see only shares that would be found at real p2pool diff. Can you change the code so the p2pool wouldn't accept miner connections until it's fully synced and sends jobs to clients at real diff? After, can the p2pool send rejects to miners in case of monerod connection loss (and other errors maybe) so that clients could go into failover? Now miners just continue mining idle at outdated block height in such cases, that's wrong...
   Thanks.

What is your hashrate? Pool difficulty is ~1.5G now which means for example it takes 14-15 hours on average to find a share with 30 kh/s. Note that "on average" means it's not guaranteed - it can be a few times more if you're unlucky. If you have only 10 kh/s then it can be 3-5 days between found shares.

My hashrate @ SupportXMR shows currently shows "25 KH/s Avg 8 Hrs" with a peak of "38.7KH/s" in that same window.

[SChernykh]

17-18 hours between shares on average with pool difficulty 1.6G, but up to 3-4 days without shares is possible with only 25 kh/s. It all depends on luck.

17-18 hours between shares on average with pool difficulty 1.6G, but up to 3-4 days without shares is possible with only 25 kh/s. It all depends on luck.

So you are saying that the difficulty has risen so much, that I went from having 4-8 [or more] PPLNS windows/day to maybe 1x a day? That makes p2pool fall behind the payouts of other pools available for the same miner-side hashrate if my issue is "luck".

[SChernykh]

Payouts average out to the same amount over long enough time. You can still have 3-4 shares a day if your luck is good, but as I said it will average out. Also, each found share will be paid by much more blocks because higher pool hashrate finds more blocks. p2pool finds 40-50 blocks/day now.

...And again! Today 5 blocks (!) in a PPLNS weren't accounted! What's going on?

Next string shows us when the PPLNS window was opened at: 2021-11-16 08:35:04.8258 StratumServer SHARE FOUND: mainchain height 2494399, diff 1521328942, client 127.0.0.1:54139 user Ryzen, effort 100.000%
Since the PPLNS window size was declared as 6 hrs therefore the low mark of it ends by 2021-11-16 14:35:04. But I received payments only up to 2494507 (2021-11-16 12:41:25), and the remaining 5 blocks were ignored and NOT accounted! I mean, 2494524 (00121367885e4c83901955287e7b47b8eb58f09861edcb06bcac634e9bac8838), 2,494,528 (3a11dc011e0c3cbf7582f7bd482a4fa9199e326cdf469b2487b0792630f2dd54), 2,494,532 (21c3331b4ce0f348432ccc8ead45dcbf08a243605256243bbed0484c30cfd4f4), 2,494,541 (f19e128636b25d82ded1d0cca6aca2939741a468acca6e5e93e4a09131e52f81) and 2494559 (2021-11-16 14:28:38.9566 P2Pool BLOCK FOUND: main chain block at height 2494559 was mined by this p2pool). It is also strange that there weren't any extra strings around for blocks 2494507 (the last really accounted but not seen on the stats page, see below) and 2494559 in the console output except only one 'found'. Another strange fact I have one more payment for the block 2494507 in my wallet but it can't be seen on the screenshot:

And of course pressing F5 didn't affect the screen output...
Here you can't see 2494507 and 2494559: (orphans maybe)

Looks like one orphan stopped payouts though PPLNS-windows had been still opened...

OK, got it, thanks. Could you please add p2pool height to output for verbose=0 too? Maybe next to monero height, like this; P2Pool BLOCK FOUND: main chain block at monero height 2494507 was mined by this p2pool at sidechain height 64****. It would be more clearly for all. Or as i alreay asked before, It's better to view only blocks found during PPLNS window (the switch option would be the best variant, to leave all blocks or only ones found by a user's node only).

1. Can 'block found' msg be shown only in case of finding a block in pplns-window with a found share? I mean showing only accounted blocks as other blocks are not the things of interest in a log/screen (i think everyone would be handier to look through such data on the dedicated page of the observer site).

But it's still misunderstood why 2494507 payout hadn't been logged at the site page stats...

If it's still interesting for someone, I've changed the code (for myself) @ src\p2pool.cpp by moving the string 'BLOCK FOUND' into the 'if (payout) {}' section:

if (payout) {
	LOGINFO(0, log::LightGreen() << "BLOCK FOUND: main chain block at height " << data.height << " was mined by this p2pool" << BLOCK_FOUND);	
	LOGINFO(0, log::LightCyan() << "You received a payout of " << log::LightGreen() << log::XMRAmount(payout) << log::LightCyan() << " in block " << log::LightGreen() << data.height);
}
