Working P2Pool for PPCoin? Possible?

[Jude Austin]

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone has or knows of a working PPCOIN P2Pool implementation?

I would love to add as many coins as possible to http://p2pool.org.

I would even be willing to pay

[anti-scam]

I would like to see this too. Is it possible to do pooled proof-of-stake mining?

Well, there are other PPCoin pools out there.

I don't see why there couldn't be a P2Pool implementation.

I am sure with time someone will port it.

As far as I know all of the existing pools only address PoW and not PoS.

Hang on, there is a Novacoin p2pool version, and it's PoS.

I believe it's possible, for the PoW aspect, which is really all that matters anyway.

i am looking for a ppc p2pool too.

p2pool development is on hold and discouraged for now, pending protocol support review.

Currently the top 3 ppc pools are:
D7: http://ppcoin.d7.lt
coinotron: http://coinotron.com
The Seven's: http://theseven.bounceme.net/~theseven/pool/

According to http://theseven.bounceme.net/~theseven/pool/netstats


System   Current hashrate   Number of blocks   51% attack hashrate
Proof of work   627.4 GH/s   101 (19.4%)   1615.1 GH/s
Proof of stake   239.9 MH/s   419 (80.6%)   148.9 MH/s

Is it possible that PPC was 51%ed?

[Vitalicus]

For 51% attack on 627.4 GH/s  - you need 1615.1 GH/s + POS

[Sunny King]

PoW hash rate cannot directly 51% attack ppc network. There is only PoS 51% attack as block chain is protected solely by proof-of-stake.

Is p2pool support for PPC still non-existent and discouraged?

[Jude Austin]

I don't understand why it would be discouraged.

There are plenty of other coins based off of PPC code that are on P2Pool.

NovaCoin for instance.

I get multiple emails a month asking for PPC on P2Pool.

I think it is something that should be encouraged.

Perhaps the people who want to see it should put more pressure on the developer of PPC. 

[Jude Austin]

And to be honest, looking at the source code on GitHub.

With the recent addition of getblocktemplate and submitblock, I don't see anything that is preventing it working with P2Pool.

[JaPeK]

I've been searching and waiting for this a long time, too.
I wouldn't want to guess the values to the networks.py file.

Good news, Sunny King is adding some final tweaks to support p2pool.

There will be a change with the release plan of peercoin. I have decided to include a minor protocol change for future p2pool support so the release will become a mandatory upgrade release.

Has anyone gotten P2pool to work for Peercoin? I see a lots a try but no success stories .
