Thanks raskul, I added to my pool FSC merge mining as well and now I have 11000 FSC I just want to ask if anyone finds the idea of providing a VMX image, P2Pool machine interesting. That way people can just download VMX, grab VMWare Player (free), open the VMX and they are good to go. needless to say, i'm having troubles setting this up on a VPS - but I will not let it beat me Let me know where you get stuck - maybe I have a mistake somewhere or something is not clear. Just a side note - I have run the scenario and worked ok with the commands above. i've gone back to scratch twice, each time was my own error and I know where I went wrong... 3rd time lucky - fingers crossed! if I get totally stuck i'll come begging, as of now the only linux experience I have is building nodes - it sure is a learning curve... i hope to crack this myself, and would rather not come begging lol from the look of it, I shouldn't have a problem; except for stubby fingers and rubbish command line expertise ADD: DOH! i did it again. created the user and installed it all in root. someone just shoot me.

If you mean not to have miners on your own and charge a fee for people to connect to your server, then i doubt it...

There is now an easy fix for Huntercoin compile issues on 14.04: Copy/paste: 1. Go to huntercoin folder in terminal (this may be different, I don't know where your download went, if it's on the desktop) $ cd ~/Desktop/huntercoin 2. Go to src folder $ cd src 3. edit db.cpp $ nano db.cpp 4. Add #include "auxpow.h" so that it looks somehting like this at the top: before: // Copyright (c) 2009-2010 Satoshi Nakamoto // Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying // file license.txt or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php. #include "headers.h" #include "db.h" #include "net.h" #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp> after: // Copyright (c) 2009-2010 Satoshi Nakamoto // Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying // file license.txt or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php. #include "headers.h" #include "db.h" #include "net.h" #include "auxpow.h" //this is new #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp> 5. Save and exit. Press ctrl^x and then enter 6. Try make again. Kudos to snailbrain,domob & JoeGruff for sorting it out

Just want to say a big thank you to murdof for the time he has taken today to help me out. I will be putting an old domain name to use with a 0% p2pool and all murdof's help has been very much appreciated.

Slush charges 2% fees. Eligius 0% fees and you get namecoin as well from both. So Slush has some income. Eligius I don't know if they merge mine other coins and keep them or how they work. I'm sure if you ask in their thread they will tell you. So in other words you have a lot of competition. There are already P2Pool nodes with 0% fees and remember that P2Pool depends on latency as well. So you can't launch a P2Pool node in India and expect people from Brazil to connect. Latency will be for sure more than 100ms. Eligius/Slush/BTCGuild don't have that limitation.

PatMan it worked! I will add the huntercoin as binary only for now till they get it sorted in the github in order to have cleaner instructions. For people that want to try it out do: cd ~ git clone https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoincd ~/huntercoin/src edit the file as mentioned in PatMan's file. Then compile it with: make -f Makefile strip huntercoind cp huntercoind ~/bin Create the config file: mkdir ~/.huntercoin cat >~/.huntercoin/huntercoin.conf server=1 daemon=1 rpcuser=huntercoin rpcpassword=KouZ4RvmT3WkKZ port=8398 rpcport=8399 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 PRESS CTRL-D start ~/bin/huntercoind - let it sync the blockchain. append at the end of your p2pool command: --merged http://huntercoin:KouZ4RvmT3WkKZ@127.0.0.1:8399Not tried yet fully. Still syncing the blockchain

Whats the minimum hw requirements to run a node. Network is 100mbits. No hope to run it with rapi ?
Looking for somekind of similar integrated hw.

You need 4GB ram minimum and about 60-80GB disk space depending on the coins you choose. This is a guide for Ubuntu. Never used Raspberry Pi so don't know... For sure the commands are not the same.

Pardon the noob question -- for mining BTC - is it still connecting with other P2Pool servers? Or is it waiting to find a block solo?
If the BTC is still mined as part of a bigger collection - then this sounds like a great idea - run your own pool so you can have very low latency (i.e. a server by the miners) - and then the BTC stuff is still merged in. I've happen to already have old server hardware sitting around anyway that can be reformatted. Granted they have tiny drives - so I'd need to find something bigger to actually store the block chain.

BTC it is connected with other P2Pool servers All merged coins are solo-mined

Yes... there are a couple.... http://p2pool-nodes.info/The total Pool hashrate is lower than BTCGuild currently. That's why payouts are bigger and less often than BTCGuild. When more people mine on p2pool then payouts will be more often but smaller. You still get the same amount in the long run - benchmarks have shown better overall numbers on p2pool. Just search this forum for benchmark p2pool vs btcguild

Haven't gone through the whole post yet but I think this is/was EXACTLY what I was looking for- an updated and easy way to setup a p2pool. I'll start working on this now good to see more and more p2pool nodes getting set up, best luck with yours waldohoover

I'll start working on this now good to see more and more p2pool nodes getting set up, best luck with yours waldohoover I'm happy to see people wanting to support the network as well and move towards p2pool, thanks Setting up the node (in my sig) wasn't too bad with Morblias initial guidance but I def want to get a pool going now. I run /r/TeamRedditMining on reddit and would love to have our own pool going. aha! a US node, i'll direct US friends to it.. my node is also in my sig (Central Cavern - which is an Amsterdam node) - but be careful, the page is noisy
