Thanks for instruction, I will try

WARNING: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR ADVANCED USERS.
P2POOL WORKS SUCCESSFULLY WITH BITCOIN, LITECOIN AND MANY OTHER ALTCOINS INCLUDING MEDITERRANEANCOIN BUT P2POOL IS NOT EASY TO USE. IF YOU NEED HELP, PLEASE POST IN THIS FORUM YOUR QUESTIONS, ALWAYS INCLUDING LOG OUTPUT AND MAXIMUM INFORMATION ABOUT ALL THE STEPS YOU HAVE PERFORMED AND WE WILL TRY TO HELP TO OUR BEST.

How to setup a MED p2pool on Ubuntu 12.04 running inside VirtualBox on Windows

P2Pool is a decentralized mining pool that works by creating a peer-to-peer network of miner nodes.

Download Virtual Box software - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Install on you Windows pc.

Download a premade Ubuntu 12.04 Virtual Box - http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualboximage/files/Ubuntu%20Linux/12.04/ubuntu_12.04-x86.7z

Extract ubuntu_12.04-x86.7z

e.g C:\Program Files\Oracle\VMs\ubuntu_12.04

Run the VM

Navigate where you just extracted Ubuntu and double click on ubuntu_12.04.vbox or the .vdi


Change network adaptor to Bridged mode

When the VM gets to the Ubuntu splash screen, hover over the network adapter icon in the bottom right of the VM window and
right click and select 'Network Adapters' then change 'Attached to' to Bridged Mode.
Also change 'Promiscuous Mode' to Allow all and reboot the VM to get a local IP address you can forward ports to.

Log in to Ubuntu
(username/password): ubuntu/reverse

Modified code for p2pool can be found here - https://github.com/mrtexaznl/p2pool

Instructions for Ubuntu 12.04

in a terminal window type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties screen git python-rrdtool python-pygame python-scipy
sudo apt-get install python-twisted python-twisted-web python-imaging build-essential libglib2.0-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev autoconf automake ncurses-dev
sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web

Install Mediterraneancoin Daemon:
wget http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/downloads/medcoin-linux-v0.8.5.2.tgz
mkdir mediterraneancoin
cd mediterraneancoin
tar -xvzf ../medcoin-linux-v0.8.5.2.tgz
cd ..
mkdir ~/.mediterraneancoin
nano -w ~/.mediterraneancoin/mediterraneancoin.conf

Add this text into ~/.mediterraneancoin/mediterraneancoin.conf

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=rpcadmin
rpcpassword=WRITE_A_LONG_RANDOM_PASSWORD
addnode=node1.mediterraneancoin.org
addnode=node2.mediterraneancoin.org
addnode=node3.mediterraneancoin.org
addnode=node4.mediterraneancoin.org


Fire Up mediterraneancoin daemon:

mediterraneancoin/32/mediterraneancoind

wait for mediterraneancoind to sync.
you can query the block at which it has synced in this way:
mediterraneancoin/32/mediterraneancoind getinfo

Get p2pool modified code for mediterraneancoin:


cd ~/ ; git clone https://github.com/mrtexaznl/p2pool

cd p2pool
cd medcoin_hybrid
sudo python setup.py install



Start up your P2pool for mediterraneancoin:

cd ~/p2pool

python run_p2pool.py --net mediterraneancoin -a YourMEDPayoutAddress


it will take time to refresh/load all the data!
you will see something like this:
 Loading shares...
     1000
     2000
     ....

it depends on the power of your pc; it may take even a few hours to sync! please wait.
also, if you restart p2pool, it will need to reload the shares and spend the same amount of time.


then, start mcproxy on your windows pc:

java -jar mcproxy.jar -p 9375 -a


start the modified cgminer under windows:

cgminer -o http://localhost:8080 -u test -p test -Q 0

or the modified bfgminer:

sudo ./bfgminer --submit-stale -o http://localhost:8080 -u test -p x -Q 0 -S all -T --verbose


as username and password you can leave test/test.

the mining pool is being tested, it has some problems. when it is ready, it will be published for everybody. we are not very far.
if we publish it now as it is, it is bad publicity; it allows to mine but some messages are wrong.
update: we solved various glitches with the pool software, we are a very good point...

battsali: if you want to start pool mining with a prelaunch platform, pm me and I will give you instructions.

1- grgrgrrrr  

2- I try to solo mine, the result is 3 of 3 blocks is lost , just show and then disappear
and what ? every silgle block go to pool (pools) or what ?

we can't mine solo,we don't have pool .,. only you and maybe 2-3-5.,., or XX people have and use pool
and mine MED.,.,, and what?  is that it the idea of this coin, all coin located in 5 person
and we sit back and just look

you can post instruction how to start p2p ,., and everyone to start own pool  

Or if YOU want to mine all MED coin, when done and for you is not enough PM me to send you all my MED  

PS
4-th block disappear 

this mined blocks ahead in time are caused by a p2pool instance of a miner running with a wrong parameter which causes to mine a block with a (wrong) value of 20 MED.

The p2pool for MED does it right, so somebody must have misconfigured its instance; we will try to understand who is doing this so to warn him/her.

ps: it is not possible to cheat, i.e. to mine a block with a larger coinbase value (this causes a network rule violation).

Is there any market for these coins? Anyone buying?

OK
I not mine because of big diff, and wait pool
just look explorer and find from 30607 to 30672 all blocks with 20MED reward have wrong time stamp
but when you say is OK - OK 

first part of answer:
(in bitcoin/litecoin) : A timestamp is accepted as valid if it is greater than the median timestamp of previous 11 blocks, and less than the network-adjusted time + 2 hours. "Network-adjusted time" is the median of the timestamps returned by all nodes connected to you.

second part of answer: it could depend on the mining pools we are testing (setting deliberately timestamps a few minutes in the future).

will come back on this later.

I find  all after 30607 with 20 MED reward

you mean block 30659? Yes that is strange, I will look into it.
And other blocks. Let me check.

Whats up in block explorer , seems like someone find blocks from future?

Thank you for the hard work,
can't wait for pool

Thanks.

yes, we notice the increase in diff, that's because the number of users is increasing. That's good news for MED!

We are working with a third party to setup the first mining pool. All the work on the source code is complete (we are testing and debugging it).

So, touch wood, we shouldn't be far from pool mining 

diff 2.37k
as say someone -just do nothing for hours at solo but blocks fly every minutes somewhere
Please take attention on pool to start faster !!!

MED sent!
