Whats the minimum hw requirements to run a node. Network is 100mbits.
No hope to run it with rapi ?

Looking for somekind of similar integrated hw.

You need 4GB ram minimum and about 60-80GB disk space depending on the coins you choose.

This is a guide for Ubuntu. Never used Raspberry Pi so don't know... For sure the commands are not the same.

PatMan it worked!

I will add the huntercoin as binary only for now till they get it sorted in the github in order to have cleaner instructions.

For people that want to try it out do:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin
cd ~/huntercoin/src

edit the file as mentioned in PatMan's file.
Then compile it with:
make -f Makefile
strip huntercoind
cp huntercoind ~/bin

Create the config file:
mkdir ~/.huntercoin
cat >~/.huntercoin/huntercoin.conf
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=huntercoin
rpcpassword=KouZ4RvmT3WkKZ
port=8398
rpcport=8399
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

PRESS CTRL-D

start ~/bin/huntercoind - let it sync the blockchain.

append at the end of your p2pool command:
--merged http://huntercoin:[email protected]:8399

Not tried yet fully. Still syncing the blockchain

Does not a normal pool, e.g. Eligius or Slush act like that ?

Slush charges 2% fees. Eligius 0% fees and you get namecoin as well from both.
So Slush has some income.
Eligius I don't know if they merge mine other coins and keep them or how they work. I'm sure if you ask in their thread they will tell you.

So in other words you have a lot of competition. There are already P2Pool nodes with 0% fees and remember that P2Pool depends on latency as well.
So you can't launch a P2Pool node in India and expect people from Brazil to connect. Latency will be for sure more than 100ms.
Eligius/Slush/BTCGuild don't have that limitation.

Just want to say a big thank you to murdof for the time he has taken today to help me out.
I will be putting an old domain name to use with a 0% p2pool and all murdof's help has been very much appreciated.

Watch out for the "Neg-Rep-Dogie-Police".....

There is now an easy fix for Huntercoin compile issues on 14.04:

Any chance of getting a fix for building the daemon on 14.04? Wink

does it solve the problem PatMan?

http://forum.huntercoin.org/index.php?topic=104.0

Copy/paste:

1. Go to huntercoin folder in terminal (this may be different, I don't know where your download went, if it's on the desktop)
$ cd ~/Desktop/huntercoin

2. Go to src folder
$ cd src

3. edit db.cpp
$ nano db.cpp

4. Add #include "auxpow.h" so that it looks somehting like this at the top:

before:
// Copyright (c) 2009-2010 Satoshi Nakamoto
// Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying
// file license.txt or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php.

#include "headers.h"
#include "db.h"
#include "net.h"
#include
#include

after:
// Copyright (c) 2009-2010 Satoshi Nakamoto
// Distributed under the MIT/X11 software license, see the accompanying
// file license.txt or http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php.

#include "headers.h"
#include "db.h"
#include "net.h"
#include "auxpow.h" //this is new
#include
#include

5. Save and exit.
Press ctrl^x and then enter

6. Try make again.

Kudos to snailbrain,domob & JoeGruff for sorting it out

You will get pissed off now - but I just added the lazy guy's guide Tongue

Two commands - everything is prepared for you and you are set.

Sorry I made you read all that Tongue

Can P2Pool be profitable for the one who is setting it up on the web server unless he has his own miners ?

If you mean not to have miners on your own and charge a fee for people to connect to your server, then i doubt it...

Does not a normal pool, e.g. Eligius or Slush act like that ?

Thanks raskul,

I added to my pool FSC merge mining as well and now I have 11000 FSC

I just want to ask if anyone finds the idea of providing a VMX image, P2Pool machine interesting.

That way people can just download VMX, grab VMWare Player (free), open the VMX and they are good to go.

needless to say, i'm having troubles setting this up on a VPS - but I will not let it beat me Cool

Let me know where you get stuck - maybe I have a mistake somewhere or something is not clear.

Just a side note - I have run the scenario and worked ok with the commands above.

i've gone back to scratch twice, each time was my own error and I know where I went wrong... 3rd time lucky - fingers crossed!
if I get totally stuck i'll come begging, as of now the only linux experience I have is building nodes - it sure is a learning curve... i hope to crack this myself, and would rather not come begging lol from the look of it, I shouldn't have a problem; except for stubby fingers and rubbish command line expertise Grin

ADD: DOH! i did it again. created the user and installed it all in root. someone just shoot me.

I also merge mine GRouPcoin (GRP) - there's no exchange that I know of, but hey - why not?

https://github.com/RoadTrain/groupcoin

No exchange huh?
I did compile it - but since there is no profit currently on it I just confirm that it compiles OK.
Just do:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/RoadTrain/groupcoin
cd ~/groupcoin/src/
make -f makefile.unix
strip groupcoind
cp groupcoind ~/bin

and then create a config file like you are doing for other coins and start it.

Personally I did compile it only, didn't start it.
Will look into it again when you can find it on an exchange.
