Topic: P2Pool Detailed Settings for Altcoins (Read 12917 times)

Did you bother to look at the last year this thread was posted too.... February 2015.

It is dead. 

can anyone help me to create p2pool for Ravencoin?

Would you be interested in checking it out? The Magi (XMG) developer is interested in P2Pool but we need someone who has experience with. If you are interested (I guess bounty would be available), please contact Joe Lao https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/joelao95-182342

You are correct. You would have to compile in support for that algo. Can't help much more as I have personally not tried compiling in anything other than SHA and Scrypt. I know there is support for x11 and possibly others but have never looked into any of them.

Little question: I'd like to host a p2pool node for XMG. XMG uses the M7M algo, so I guess there are some other modifications necessary, not just the values in the networks.py?

Great info found here, it has helped me get rolling on creating the new files for OSC - OpenSourceCoin. (ocoin) https://github.com/bryceweiner/OSC/tree/master/src

I'd like to run a "solo" P2Pool with my AntMiner S1's mining OSC, but I have not been able to find a fork that had anything for ocoin.

Here is what I have so far:
p2pool\networks\ocoin.py :

p2pool\bitcoin\networks\ocoin.py :

\AppData\Roaming\Ocoin\ocoin.conf :

The P2Pool starts and connects, but scrolls a few error messages highlighted in bold below:  (I've gone ahead and removed a lot of the repetitive errors)

The block reward structure is as follows (It is now currently paying 12.50 OSC per block):

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  FYI, I used the files from another coin which works fine (XJO - Joulecoin) as a template to make the files for OSC.

Thanks!

Tried also your fork:

https://github.com/CartmanSPC/p2pool

its not possible to deploy it on Bitcoin Testnet network =(.
Share chain stays empty ..

i tried different ones.
for example this one:
https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool

I also tried to "bootstrap" on bitcoin testnetwork. (deleted all bootstrap addresses), launched with persist=false and changed identifiers but the sharechain just stays empty.

i used p2pool_run.py --testnet

Everything went fine, even with connected nodes, but i the share chain is still empty ..

So overall: im unable to start the initial chain

A block should not need to be found. Which p2pool is this for? Link?

Hey,

i got trouble running a new fresh p2pool node.

Got everything up and running and it seems its working...

P2Pool nodes connect to each other.. stratum works everything seems fine..

Exept there p2pool nodes doesnt generate any shares..

I tried to bootstrap the shares with persist = False but it doesnt work.


Also i got a lot of spam of:


Any idears how to properly bootstrap? Does the bootstrapping node may have to find a Block first?

Any suggestions would be nice

Great explanation on P2Pools Pay Per Last N Shares (PPLNS) payout system from windpath:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/1500-th-p2pool-decentralized-dos-resistant-hop-proof-pool-18313

A couple of coins had it listed in the protocol.cpp file. But I was told they can technically be in any... I guess it depends on which coin is cloned? But it seems the Darkcoin clones uses prototocol.cpp.

It shure would be nice to know where to look for them , i cant find them

Thanks Lucky Cris. Would you or anyone else happen to know what the other file is?

OP, just wanted to point out that some of these coins put the pchmeassagestart hex value in another file; so if it's not in the main.cpp it could be in another. I don't know if it has any significance, but figure I'd at least advise so you can update the OP

Great work .

I was wondering is there anybody who can help out with karmacoin settings ?

Hey, I went ahead and edited the config files to suit FuelCoin, there were a few changes that needed to be made.

I've posted the code up on pastebin if you'd like to have a look.

I am also having problems with the pool showing blocks that were not mined by any of the miners on the pool.
and the pool hashrate has continued to rise past 3th/s when i only have 1th/s on it.
the address is http://99.236.215.227:9222/static/ it seems to be a bit more accurate now. but still not great ive changed the settings around a bit. for the share per second trying to play with it.

Sorry for the bump, just didnt see it neccessary to make a new thread;

Did anyone find a solution for getting stuck on

nice work here
