We have MM mining with p2pool PPLNS (Same algo as p2pool does for payouts for bitcoin) for alt-coin payouts as well. Hourly payouts are setup on mergemining.com .. The site is still in development, but UNO is one we have included already.
Tips and hints are also welcome ofc (PM me or file support ticket to reach all admins)
(Yeah, kind of a shameless plug, but we also encourage feedback to make the setup better.)
this the pool ?
P2Pool is a decentralized pool that works by creating a P2P network of miner nodes. These nodes work on a chain of shares similar to Bitcoin's blockchain. Each node works on a block that includes payouts to the previous shares' owners and the node itself. There is no central point of failure, making it DoS resistant.
Yes, however, we have expanded on it heavily. On mergemining.com there are 4 pools load balanced that all merge mine the alt-coins into user accounts and there is an automated setup which withdraws coins to users specified wallets every hour. P2Pool itself, supports merge mining, but doesn't support payouts to other accounts (default payout account is p2pool for alt coins and your BTC address for bitcoin payment).
The decentralized aspect, means that other users mining on the p2pool sharechain network contribute to the chance of a block occuring for BTC. If you mine p2pool outside of our setup, there is no alt-coins generated (except if that pool has setup merge mined coins, and then its up to that site to distribute them to you).
Currently we primarily mine BTC and merge mine CRW, DVC, HUC, I0C, XMY, NMC, SYS, UNO, TRC and ARG... We are waiting on EMC to implement merge mining and it will be added to the pool as well.
We did away with some of the decentralized aspect however in order to deal with the alts. Mining to a BTC address is supported on our pool, however, no alt-coins will be payed out for those accounts at this time. This is to increase the centralized aspect slightly and to encourage our sharechain remains more active on the p2pool network (as opposed to a sharechain for a single BTC address). This ultimately should lead to more payouts for users mining on our pool for BTC than the decentralized aspect (If you do not mine on p2pool for a day and a half, even if a block is found you risk not getting paid for it). With our setup, as long as you have mined within 3 days prior to a block being found, you will get a PPLNS payout from it, and the alts payout much more frequently (lower diff, quicker blocks of course). p2pool shares fall off the network around 3 days, so we have factored that into the alt payouts as well, and its based on PPLNS over the last 3 days.
The only drawback I have found with p2pool is there is generally a higher doa. This only affects main sharechain inclusion, and has no effect on alt-coin blocks being found (doa shares are checked against the alts)

But if it has any use for Crown, then sure
