Title: General questions about mining
Post by: cantfindausername on March 13, 2015, 02:14:39 PM
Hi,
First, thanks for providing this forum.  It has been a HUGE help in researching multiple topics!

I recently purchased an ASIC (Scrypt) and I have been testing for the last week.  I have joined multiple pools and it seems to be working pretty well.  The ASIC has it's own web interface and it is very easy to configure for mining pools.  I started looking at setting up my own pool so that I could mine solo.  I have been looking on the forum for an How to guide for p2pool solo mining scrypt.  I've seen a few guides but I'm looking for the definitive guide, if it exists.

Here are my questions...

1.  Is it a waste of time?
2.  How hard is it to setup a p2pool?  I'm fairly technical
3.  How much ongoing maintenance is associated when setting up a p2pool?

I'm sure I left out a few questions but any insights would be much appreciated!  Also, sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. 

Thanks!
