Title: Questions about p2pool
Post by: starsoccer9 on June 24, 2014, 03:20:32 PM
Hello, I am considering using p2pool, but have a few questions I was hoping someone could respond to.

1. Is it possible to use p2pool without a full bitcoin node?
2. Is it possible to use p2pool with mergemining and if so where/how can I do it.
3.What coins are merged mine on p2pool currently

Thanks

1. You can point your miners to somebody else's p2pool node.  If you want to run your own node, then you need to be running a full bitcoin node.
2. Yes.  There's a good thread describing how to do it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62842.0
