So, guys. I'm going to request some help as I'm unfortunately not capable enough to do this on my own.

what I'd like to do:

- clone that latest p2pool software from the original dev forestv (https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool)
- use a keccak python implementation (https://bitbucket.org/tiran/pykeccak)
- implement all known SHA3 currencies in the preconfig (Maxcoin, Helixcoin, Slothcoin)

where I currently get "stuck":

- ~~rpc connection works, p2pool connection doesn't.~~
- ~~when I supply a address for the pool payout, it spits out "invalid checksum" which should give us a first starting point.~~
- share's are being rejected (or not verified as being a real share chain share) because the hash is higher than the difficulty hash should be (and the target hash shows less characters in lengths?)

Let me know if someone has a more complete project already, but I don't see anything that's working yet.

Here's the new project I'd like to invite you to contribute or at least give hints on how to get started (https://github.com/florianuhlemann/p2pool_sha3keccak)

Please consider donating some BTC for the work required: 1HLstfdaXpV48BnTpG1zKRrZaRFXmAezeU

first step: let's get the "invalid checksum" fixed when handing over the payout address to the p2pool startup. (python run_p2pool.py --net YOURSHA3NET --address ANYADDRESSFORSHA3) - I do understand that it's doing the sha256 validation check that bitcoin (and litecoin?) uses, which isn't going to be valid here, correct?

second step: ~~properly adjusting the difficulties as there seems to be a problem with length/value comparison of the minimum targets and the work being submitted.~~

third step: share header checking is broken, all submitted shares and even blocks fail to get accepted.
