Title: [ANN][VTC][P2POOL] New UK based P2Pool Vertcoin pool Post by: fackie on March 23, 2014, 01:29:35 PM New UK based P2Pool Vertcoin pool
Hello all, I have started an experimental P2Pool for Vertcoin. General Vertcoin Information thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.0 Quick Start for Windows - Get client http://mcaf.ee/xrukj - Modify vertminer.conf - Run Note that to use cgminer to mine Vertcoin, a modified version is required. Information on the link above. P2Pool node address: - Getwork: http://vtc.quickenjoy.com:9171 - Stratum: stratum+tcp://vtc.quickenjoy.com:9171 Pool Information: - 1% p2pool node fee - PPLNS payout with vardiff - Direct payouts to wallet - Dynamic worker frontend - enter your address and watch the stats Pool Stats can be found on: http://vtc.quickenjoy.com:9171 A modified cgminer line to support Vertcoin would look like: Code: cgminer --scrypt -o vtc.quickenjoy.com:9171 -u VmfbcPe9Sz8tg3behbNrPb37A6wPtpNuk1 For cudaminer (GeForce cards): Code: cudaminer.exe -C 1 -i 1 -H 2 -l auto -o vtc.quickenjoy.com:9171 -u VmfbcPe9Sz8tg3behbNrPb37A6wPtpNuk1 -p 123 --algo=scrypt:2048 Difficulty: If you want to manually control your difficulty, you can use the following formulae: Vertcoin Address+(0.00000116 x Hash Rate in KHash) As an example, for a 7950 running at 290 KHash/s: 290 x 0.00000116 = 0.0003364 So the username would be: VmfbcPe9Sz8tg3behbNrPb37A6wPtpNuk1+0.0003364 Here are some suggested values: Code: KHash/s Difficulty Note the following: - P2Pool payments can take up to 24 hours to gain speed after you start mining. - Payouts require that you solve at least one share of difficulty greater than the P2Pool share target per day. - Do not mine with high intensity - payouts will be better at average intensity. - There will be an increased stale rate in the miner compared to a traditional pool; this is expected behaviour for P2Pool (~5-15%) |
