For fun and as a soundboard I'll start posting my progress here. If anyone feels froggy please jump in, though I know this isn't that type of thread (support).
Moving on, it seems like the latest writeups all call for the process to be called "eloipool.py", but on my systems - and I've gone through several at this point trying to get it working - but all my systems run the process as "python3" so the killall scripts don't operate correctly.
As for errors, this one pops up all the time on the commandline after running : eloipool.py: no process found. I discovered this is due to newblock.sh trying to kill the process by calling it eloipool.py instead of python3. Fixed.
Now I'm still getting this error with the merklemaker:

And if I downgrade using the command in my previous post I get thousands of stale, bad, or discarded shares on the miner (see pic). So I'm back to going through this and trying to get it running. I'll post if I come up with a solution.
Got Stale? Check that "Rejected" vs "Accepted" - Ouch!
