A Complete Guide to P2Pool - Merged Mining (BTC/NMC/DVC/IXC/I0C) plus LTC, Linux

[jake262144]

Having a good time there, Holliday?
Any idea why it does that?
Ubuntu is telling you that you need elevated rights to mess around in /root. Whatever is stored inside is none of the regular users' business.
Try sudo ls -a /root (sudo as in superuser do, perform an action as superuser, i.e. root).

If you don't want to keep typing sudo this, sudo that, give sudo su a try - you will become root until you close the terminal or press ctrl+D
su = switch user. With no arguments it will try to switch you to superuser. Examples: su thomas

To mergedmine NMC with P2Pool on Ubuntu you just enter the following code after changing 'rpcuser' and 'rpcuserpassword'



* Namecoin

Code:
git clone git://github.com/namecoin/namecoin.git
cd ~/namecoin/src/
make -f makefile.unix namecoind
mkdir ~/.namecoin/

Content of ~/.namecoin/bitcoin.conf:

Code:
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=usuarioy
rpcpassword=dasdGfhoiu35BCV47586fgdh234GDFSEG
rpcport=7333

You need to run 4 commands, git, cd, make and mkdir and, after that, you need to edit the file ~/.namecoin/bitcoin.conf, you can use:

nano ~/.namecoin/bitcoin.conf

And type the content of it within the Nano editor, save the file and start namecoind.

Good luck!

Question about this (getting further)

im trying to connect my guiminer on my gaming rig just to see that it works before i direct my new mining rig at this guy.

never mind about username password.. im seeing something odd.

it appears to work, but no shares are being accepted.. just says

Mmm... How much time you are mining using your P2Pool node?!

i pointed my guiminer box directly to it and only it... so i would assume 100%

No, he means how long has it been mining? And how much Mh/s?

100%?!

You wait to complete the Bitcoin blockchain download before start P2Pool?!

I guess it is better to ask for help at P2Pool main thread... Because I'm new here too...

Anyway, I'll do whatever I can to help you...

dick!! haha

any way looks like my test rig is just too slow, so ill point my dedicated miner at it and see what happens.

so now i have almost 1.6gh pointed at my p2pool server, still says shares:0.... but my bamt interface shows over 100 shares accepted.. normal? (sorry i know noob... but without asking ill never learn!)

also the expected time to share fluctuates a lot between 24min and 35 min, and it varies both directions.

NM shares 1 sweet.. just took a while to get cookin but there it is!

The lower difficulty shares are for monitoring your rigs. The higher difficulty shares will take a while. It sounds like you have everything working properly.

Edit: High difficulty shares are the ones that count towards payment when mining with P2Pool.

gotcha! well sweet.. going to give this a shot and see how i like it!

i love not paying a fee to a pool op

are there any security concerns with this over a standard mining implementation? i mean obviously wallet protection is key, but anything else?

[eviltt]

is there an IRC for p2pool?

[markm]

How does p2pool know the index/code/ID of each coin type in the list of merged mining hashes?

Does its call to get work for merged mining to the coin's daemon tell it that? As I don't see you telling those numbers in your example of how to start merged mining...

When you use the P2Pool "--merged" option, it will do the job for you.

I'm working to activate merged mining for IXcoin and I0coin now just for fun... lol

[ThiagoCMC]

Guys!

 I just add the info about merged mining using IXCoin!

 Check it out!

 Also, I'm trying to run i0coin but it does not work. Anyone have the source URL of i0coin?!

Cheers!

I just find my first IXcoin, 96 IXC for me!  LOL

[ThiagoCMC]

Fellas!

 I just add the info about merged mining using I0Coin too!
