We've been having some nice luck, and the more the merrier! (And it's more fun than mining at regular pools lol)
I've also been trying to set up my own node, but I'm running into a little problem... I can't seem to compile the vertcoin script for proofing scrypt-n coins. Once I get that I think the node will be ready. (If anyone has a compiled version let me know!)
Thanks for mining at my pool. I'm thrilled that you want to set up your own node, then we'll have a proper p2pool. Are you having trouble compiling kimocoind? The p2pool script doesn't require compilation and those are the only two parts that you need. I could give you my compiled one, but I'm on Debian and the compiled wallets are picky about libraries, so I find it's usually best to compile on the target system.
Yeah, I'm on Windows 7, so that wouldn't help.
Kimocoind?
I was reading through the p2pool guide on github, and I'm stuck on the part where you have to compile the vertcoin_scrypt from the py_modules folder. I installed everything that I needed to, all the python stuff and Visual Studio 2010, but I keep getting "error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory" when I try to compile the vertcoin_scrypt. And this is holding the whole thing up... It initializes the whole thing, but it crashes once it gets to initializing work, because of the missing vertcoin_scrypt...
I don't know if it matters or not, but I haven't restarted since installing all of this stuff (this computer runs 3 minecraft servers, an Ubuntu VM, and 3 miners so it's kind of a pain to restart).
I know all this probably sounds noobish and stuff, but this is my first time making a p2pool, so go easy on me lol
Edit: Oh, by kimocoind you mean the wallet? I already have it running in server mode, and successfully connected to the node.
