Topic: P2Pool Ubuntu Linux Installation Service - For Mining Farms (Read 3375 times)

Can you help me autostart p2pool? I'm trying to make 3 public nodes

Umm... Relevance?

Variance means the price of rice in Thailand isn't the same as the US so poor don't starve because some air conditioned trader made some money.

Fees means you get what you pay for. Scams means you need to use multiple services or you have no power. No concerns means no awareness.

I'll do it!  ^_^

Well then you should definitely get a p2pool livecd working since it shouldn't be a problem for you

Guess who make the following live-cd:

?

You should play around with live-build.  You could make an xubuntu livecd with bitcoind and p2pool thats installs in just a few clicks.  You could even include the blockchain to rapidly speed up deployment.  If people don't want to trust your copy of the blockchain (not sure why, but I'm sure someone can figure out some obscure attack), they could just delete it and start fresh.  You could even have a first run script that does this and sets up some other configuration.

If LinuxCoin would just release the source, it probably wouldn't be to hard to tweak for just this purpose, although xubuntu should work fine as a base, too.


EDIT: actually, why even install a GUI? Neither p2pool not bitcoind need it.  p2pool also seems to have problems with bitcoin-qt.

Hi!

 I want to see the P2Pool approach/technology ultra-hyper-developed.

 Now, P2Pool needs to reach a minimum of 600-700 GHash... To take the %^$^#@%$#@ variance away. Plus, once for all, ending the "pools operators scams", pool fees and concerns of any kind.

 So, I'm offering my services to help you guys. I'll install your entire P2Pool node, ready-for-mining.

 You'll haven't virtually no mining downtime.

 I can setup your P2Pool node for BTC/NMC/DVC/I0C/IXC/LTC.

 I give you guys two options:


 1- A Dedicated Physical Machine for P2Pool within your office LAN or mining farm:

     1.1 Install Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 (32 bits) and TeamViewer 6 for Debian/Ubuntu and, talk with me.
     1.1.1 TeamViewer 6 for Ubuntu http://www.teamviewer.com/download/version_6x/teamviewer_linux.deb


 2- A Ubuntu Linux Virtual Machine for P2Pool within your Windows:

     2.1 Install TeamViewer 6 in your Windows and talk with me;
     2.1.1 Download: http://www.teamviewer.com/download/version_6x/TeamViewer_Setup.exe


 NOTE: To install TeamViewer 6 on Ubuntu, download the file teamviewer_linux.deb (Debian/Ubuntu) from teamviewer.com and double click at it. If it can't be installed for some reason, open the Terminal and run: "sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/teamviwer_linux.deb".


 How much will cost my service? 5, 10, 15 BTC?!
 You make the price after I finish the job. And if you don't want/can pay... Well, what a hell... I'll do it for free!! 


 NOTE: If you choose option 2, I recommend the VirtualBox installation for the creation of your Linux virtual machine. Get it here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/VirtualBox-4.1.8-75467-Win.exe

 NOTE: I only can make some kind of "guarantee of work" for option 1.

 NOTE: If you have any XenServer or VMWare (Workstation or ESX) around, we can use it for your P2Pool node!

 NOTE: If you pretend to run the cgminer at the same physical machine of your P2Pool node, I still can help you but, it is out of the scope of this proposal.
