Here are some new updates I just added:

1. Changed the 'learn' button to a 'forum' button that points to this thread

2. Hashrates and miners now update automatically every few seconds so you can see yourself mining without having to refresh the page

3. Added giveaways with a timer in the header bar.  As the number of peak miners increases, the timer skips closer and closer to zero.  When the timer reaches zero, every miner will receive bonus coins in addition to the coins that they are mining. 

I am always open for suggestions or additions to the site.  Let's make this the best P2Pool that there is!

I helped develop a new professionally-hosted P2Pool for Casinocoin, equipped with tutorials for those who are new.

Stratum URL : stratum+tcp://bigcryptopool.com:8840

We have a very low 1% fee and employ PPLNS to make sure loyal miners get all of their fair share.

Mine with us at http://bigcryptopool.com to start earning coins! 

Hey dudes, come mine with us on http://bigcryptopool.com!

• Custom front-end interface with help FAQ to maximize ease-of-use.
• You don't have to create an account; just mine directly to a wallet address.
• Instant auto-payouts ensure that you will receive your coins no matter what.
• Professionally hosted, no unexpected downtime or bandwidth issues.

Litecoin and Casinocoin are supported right now, I will be adding more as demand increases and as server resources will allow.

Happy mining!

I started up a new CasinoCoin P2Pool that uses a custom front end and has a 1% fee, check it out at http://bigcryptopool.com

They very well could be the issue! When the server boots, it says "Listening on '' port 9327 for workers"  and I think the address missing means it is only looking locally.  None of the P2Pool guides I read said anything about configuration like that- does anybody know of any good guides for this?   

Thanks,

Andy

I set up a remote linux server with P2Pool for Litecoin (as a test) and the process boots up perfectly fine and I can even mine to it from the CpuMiner installed on that linux server, pointed at the local address 127.0.0.1:9327.  Unfortunately, when I try to connect to it with a miner app on a different computer, the miner cannot establish a connection!  I can ping the server just fine, and I even opened the firewall to tcp traffic on port 9327 and many other P2Pool-associated ports.  The miner is configured correctly because if I just make the url point to a popular pool server, it works.  My thought is that I either did not config the firewall right, or I did not config P2Pool enough (I barely configured it at all!)  What could I try?  Does anyone have better experience with P2Pool configuration?

Happy mining,

Andrew

I am a dev starting up Big Crypto Pool, a P2Pool based mining pool that will allow miners to easily mine a very large variety of alt-coins by simply downloading files - no crazy notepad file hacking will be necessary unless you are an advanced user.  I am trying to set up the pool server and almost have it!  I think a firewall may be blocking remote mining connections but that shouldn't be too hard to fix.

  

I have been having a good (although challenging) time setting up a remote linux server with Litecoind and P2Pool and I am so close now, I can almost taste it.  Unfortunately, when I boot up CGMiner on my local computer with this command..

"cgminer --scrypt -o xxx.xxx.10.220:9327 -u 714sqvBfVLexxxxxxxxyeKyb6vXy7Ao -p x"

CGMiner is giving me an error like "unable to connect, there may be an issue with the address, port, or you didnt configure a worker."  I am not sure why I cant connect!  I can ping my pool server just fine, and I did open port 9327 in the iptables of the server.

I believe it may have something to do with the text that P2Pool spits out when it boots up:

     ...done loading 22471 shares (13866 verified)!
 Initializing work...
     ...success!
 Joining p2pool network using port 9338...
 > Unhandled Error
 > Traceback (most recent call last):
 > Failure: twisted.internet.error.DNSLookupError: DNS lookup failed: address 'liteco.in' not found: [Errno -2] Name or service not known.
2013-12-12 07:48:31.058514
 Listening for workers on '' port 9327...
     ...success!


1) How do I fix that DNSLookup Error?
2) Why is it saying 'Listening for workers on " port 9327'  (that seems wrong)
3) How do I set up P2Pool so you can just use an address as your worker name ?
4) why cant CGminer connect?

For the record, my CGMiner connects to a different remote pool server perfectly.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated and I am sure that other devs will benefit from this as well.  Happy mining!
