Has anyone compiled a complete list of all p2pool merge-mine coins, their respective ports and exchanges on which they can be traded? I know of the following coins:

NMC
IXC (no new coins for finding blocks as all have been generated)
I0C
GRP
DVC
HUC
FSC (coin is dead)
UNO
WLC

As has been previously pointed out, to add a coin to be merge-mined, once your coin's daemon is up and running and synched, you just start your p2pool instance with the following additional parameter (assuming all coin daemons are running on the same machine as p2pool):

Code:

--merged http://[rpc_user_name]:[rpc_password]@127.0.0.1:port

New version IXC will start paying out again starting with block 450000 shortly

- source is in https://github.com/ixcore/ixcoin

no new coins will be created - community donated to a mining pool which the new version will distribute

Making a new guide for Ubuntu 16.04 and Emercoin merged mining.
If there are any other coins that are not dead and can be merged mined please let me know so that I include them.

Hi @murdof,
Do you know if you will add Bitcoin Gold to the list of coins?

Hi All,

Emercoin (EMC) now also supports merge mining and personally I am very glad as this opens up the possibility to merge mine EMC alongside p2pool.

(Thanks for your attention

I don't mean to necropost but this still seems like the best guide on merge-mining with p2pool)

Please update your mege-mining references to include EMC Emercoin!

Hello P2pool Owner:

I am prbitcoin.com is a new dedicated server in 1and1.com 8 Core 16 Ram. I am trying to install p2pool and see the template empty not see the running data and not see any error. Bitcoin core running good https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/108.175.9.236-8333/ I use to do it in Virtual server and running everything good but when I install it in a dedicated server wont run. Do you have a extra instruction how to run p2pool in a dedicate server?

Thanks

For New York miners you can use this p2pool server 6 core 12 ram from VPS hosting server in 1and1.com in New York http://prbitcoin.com:9332/static/ This is a great example how to run your own bitcoin mining pool and work excellent. I am from Puerto Rico and work good from New York work better because is close to the server.

Thanks

With p2pool merged mining, there are no payouts of the merge-mined coins to miners. Either you would have to write some code to figure out how to pay those coins to your miners, or you'd have to do something manually.

As i thought... thank you for your quick and clear answer.

I have a question about merged mining... maybe stupid, maybe not...

I have a BTC pool which is public.
How merged mining make payments? I meant, this thread does not explain this. Also i could not see wallet addresses too. It looks like this is for home use.

Right?

Merged UNO would be great...

You can do it, just add:

Code:

--merged http://[uno_user_name]:[uno_rpc_password]@127.0.0.1:45888/

to the end of your p2pool startup syntax Wink

I'll try & get an updated guide posted in the next few days - time permitting.

To those of you who are as big a moron as me when it comes to this stuff, the exact commands on the automatic installation found here:

http://bitcoin.kyros.info/

The commands to install are as follows EXACTLY:

wget http://bitcoin.kyros.info/install-merged-mining.sh
sudo bash ./install-merged-mining.sh --compile

Or if you want to download:

wget http://bitcoin.kyros.info/install-merged-mining.sh
sudo bash ./install-merged-mining.sh --download

I realize this may be a stupid post but I typed in the above but instead of "bash" I put "sh". I kept getting a Bad Substitution error and couldn't figure out why.

I'm a moron. Don't be like me.

It looks like the start-p2pool script basically starts all of the daemons. But what happens if one of the daemons crashes? I think that means you'd have to figure out that a daemon crashed and manually start it up again.

Maybe it makes sense to have each daemon running under a service package, like daemontools. It would be a lot more work to set up than just a script that gets called at boot time. But it would help insure that all the daemons are running.

After setting up the services, you could make a script like start-p2pool, but instead of directly starting the daemons it would start/stop the corresponding services.

If anyone is interested, I did a guide for daemontools here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-configure-your-miner-software-as-a-service-under-daemontools-577018

Note that by default, daemontools will run services as root. You'd have to configure your services to run as your user instead.

Edit: Since it looks like the daemons return right away, you'd have to take that into account when using a service manager like daemontools. You would not want the service manager to keep restarting the daemon because it thinks it has quit.
