Litecoin with P2Pool

[matthewh3]

Hi I'm following the litecoin P2Pool thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62842.0  Everything is fine up to the final command minerd




10- Start P2Pool for Litecoins;

* First, install "litecoin_scrypt" to Python:

Code:
cd ~/p2pool/litecoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install

* Start your Litecoin P2Pool:

Code:
screen -d -m -S ltcp2pool ~/p2pool/run_p2pool.py --give-author 0 --net litecoin --bitcoind-rpc-port 9334 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9335 liteuserx nkrt345udsdfjhgjhsdfuyrt78rtTJHRFHTDTYD

* To connect to your Litecoin P2Pool output console:

Code:
screen -x ltcp2pool

* Blocks mined by P2Pool since you're in:

Code:
grep BLOCK ~/p2pool/data/litecoin/log

* Got share!

Code:
grep GOT\ SHARE ~/p2pool/data/litecoin/log


11- Point your miners to your newly Litecoin P2Pool;

Code:
minerd --url http://IP_P2POOL_SERVER:9327/ --userpass ltcminer0:x




Everything is fine up to the final command minerd when I get the following error -


:~/p2pool/litecoin_scrypt$ minerd --url http://IP_P2POOL_SERVER:9327/ --userpass ltcminer0:x
No command 'minerd' found, did you mean:
 Command 'mined' from package 'mined' (universe)
minerd: command not found

place "./" in front of minerd so it becomes

:~/p2pool/litecoin_scrypt$ ./minerd --url http://IP_P2POOL_SERVER:9327/ --userpass ltcminer0:x

It requires a deliberate prepending. This is a security feature of linux/unix so that you don't accidentally execute scripts/exe files from the current directory. Consider a file rm in the current directory.

rm contains "rm -rf *"

you can imaging the consequences of your entire directory or filesystems vanishing, while you wonder why rm <file> is taking longer than you expected.

Mattew,

 The miner is out of the scope of this guide... You must have it pre-installed in your mining rigs.

Best,
Thiago

Thanks but I can only use the LTC wallet from the command line because I can't get the qt to work - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63706.0  Do you know any good guides to using the wallet (or the BTC wallet will do) from the command line.  The command 'help' is not enough to me because I'm not a command line expert.

Mmm... I don't know any bitcoind tutorial but, here is some of important bitcoind command options:

bitcoind getconnectioncount
bitcoind getblockcount
bitcoind getbalance
bitcoind listtransactions
bitcoind sendtoaddress 1EYWT2sqGXGNz4v5TsakendqcjvHgWyMVc 10.0 

Cheers!

More bitcoind commands:

bitcoind getaccountaddress ""
