P2Pool into a private pool, disconnected from global pool

[sheinsha]

Hi everyone, i have been trying to disconnect my p2pool node from the global p2pool network, to turn it into a private pool.
I tried setting

Code:

--outgoing-conns 0 --max-conns 0

but it when i try to connect a miner i get

Code:

SON-RPC call failed: {
   "message": "p2pool is not connected to any peers",
   "data": null,
   "code": -12345
}

has anyone done this before?

Thanks in advance!!

p2p is peer to peer.
if you close the conection to other peers, then you will got errors.

some litecoin pools do what you want to do, but you have to edit the source code to do it.

very important, in case you didn't know or someone else reads it:

don't do:
In p2pool / p2pool / bitcoin / networks.py

Change ADDRESS_VERSION=8, to ADDRESS_VERSION=25

that changes the address from a novacoin address to a bitbar address. you can leave the bitcoin addresses alone

would you mind sharing what you did to make it work? I too am trying to create my own private pool. So far, I changed p2pool/networks/bitcoin.py to set BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS to an empty string, PERSIST to False, changed WORKER_PORT, IDENTIFIER and PREFIX. But that doesn't work at all, I'm getting 100% stale blocks using the same bitcoind I used before for the real P2Pool.  I'd appreciate if you shared what you did to make it work. Thanks.
