Hello,
Let me know if looking for optimized P2Pool node on GNU/Linux or FreeBSD with performance tuning which varies from hardware to hardware and distribution in use.
Few of the advantages post optimization/tuning=>- Lower the dead/orphan shares significantly
- Lower get work latency
- Proper bandwidth usage
- Higher payouts as compared to default configs
- Lower power consumption by P2Pool node
and more..
What are the advantages of using P2Pool? Small statistical advantages increasing income
Control over your own pool node
No need to trust a pool operator
Immediate payments
Helps to protect and keep the Bitcoin network decentralized
What are the disadvantages of using P2Pool? Initial setup is a little more complicated
More CPU / RAM / Internet bandwidth required
Higher payout variance
Small transaction fees when spending if you receive many small payouts
Distros=debian/fedora/centos/OpenSuse, gentoo/slackware(would need console to configure for gentoo/slackware) etc, FreeBSD or your choice
