Updated 30 April 2014. The Craftcoin pool has been closed for now, due to lack of mining interest.
-------------------
Let's pool our resources and help get CraftCoin moving.
It's quick and east to start mining at TreasureQuarry's Craftcoin pool. There's no need to "sign up". Just use the following settings for your miner:
Mining address (url) (including port number after the colon)
http://craftcoin.treasurequarry.com:8830
Username:
A unique address from your CraftCoin wallet on your computer, for example my mining address that I use on this pool is QAqbMoaVQEML1jwRxr9rc9MrsnAGq99VzL (don't use this particular address otherwise your earnings will go to me). Please do not use an exchange address or online wallet address.
Password
Anything you like - this is unimportant with P2Pool
Therefore, using with pooler's cpu miner (source code available from https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer), as an example, use:
minerd -o http://craftcoin.treasurequarry.com:8830 -u YOURCRAFTCOINADDRESSHERE -p x
Choosing your psuedo-share difficulty
To get a good representation of your hashrate on the pool's graphs, and also to possibly reduce your DOA rate, adding the following to the end of your CraftCoin address (including the + sign) is likely to help. Just find your nearest hashrate from the table below:
Hash Rate
(KHash/s) Difficulty
1 +0.00000116
5 +0.00000582
10 +0.00001164
50 +0.00005821
100 +0.00011641
250 +0.00029103
500 +0.00058207
750 +0.00087310
1000 +0.00116414
For example if you 're mining at 220 KHash/s, use:
minerd -o http://craftcoin.treasurequarry.com:8830 -u YOURCRAFTCOINADDRESSHERE +0.00029103 -p x
This will make your miner report when it finds "pseudo-shares" of a certain difficulty (you'll still need to find real shares for payments to start). Once you do find a true share, payments will start going straight to your wallet as soon as the p2pool finds blocks. Due to the way p2pool's PPLNS (pay per last N shares) works, the payments may seem to start slow but will then build up to reach a peak and reasonably steady rate.

Happy mining.
