any news on p2pool software patch for primecoin?
i googled but i cannot find anything
i look in the code https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav
and i see the litecoin patch under the dir litecoin-scrypt, i suppose that primecoin need the same for prime algo but i am not able to write the code, maybe with some help.
Topic: How to modify p2pool code for primecoin (Read 1153 times)
Primecoin use a different type of work, they compute prime numbers (instead of computing SHA256^2 hashes like regular bitcoin).
To use them, p2pool would in addition a plug-in that enables it to compute the primes (just like adding support for litecoin to p2pool required adding a library to enable it to compute Scrypt hashes).
As far as I've searched, there aren't currently any such plugin written for P2Pool (and myself, I lack the python skills needed to write it, I only program in C/C++).
But don't despair, as XPM rises in popularity, someone with the correct skill set will eventually step-in and write the necessary plugin.

I want to change p2pool for primecoin
As far as I know is to add follow to /p2pool/nework.py:
primecoin=math.Object(
PARENT=networks.nets['primecoin'],
SHARE_PERIOD=60, # seconds target spacing
CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=70, # shares coinbase maturity
SPREAD=120, # blocks
IDENTIFIER='f143F5b8c6924210'.decode('hex'),
PREFIX='c387192ba6d4729a'.decode('hex'),
P2P_PORT=10086,
MIN_TARGET=0,
MAX_TARGET=2**256//2**20 - 1,
PERSIST=False,
WORKER_PORT=10087,
BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS='chncoin.no-ip.biz'.split(' '),
ANNOUNCE_CHANNEL='#p2pool-alt',
VERSION_CHECK=lambda v: True,
),
But it is no success,
who can tell me why ,or need to modify other files?
thanks for your apply！
