1. Is there any owner's incentive in a P2Pool apart from his own Hash rewards ?
2. What would be your charge in setting up a P2Pool ?
No there is no owner's incentive, unless the pool charges fees. I don't charge anything, I just let people know how to set it up. Or if you wanted, you can give me root privilege and I can set it up for you, then you can change the root password.
This is basically the overview of setting up bitcoind and p2pool:
http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/286tv6/i_saw_a_lot_of_discussion_on_getting_miners_to/ci89fs7Sorry, I have got a few more Q...
1. Is it possible for a P2Pool owner to dynamically control mining fee, say 0%~0.5% ? As I understand, at P2Pool mining power will be distributed among the miners on a P2P basis. In that scenario, how does the owner charge ? Or I have some wrong conception ?
2. I was checking
http://www.weloveservers.net/vps_hosting.php, but did not get any 19 USD per year plan !!! The lowest here is 4 USD per month, i.e. 48 USD per year. In that case, wont DigitalOcean be a better option ?
3. I have a semi-dedicated account where most of the server space and bandwidth are unused. Here is the configuration =>
http://besthostfree.com/semi-dedicated-hosting.html (Starter Semi Dedicated). Can I run a P2Pool on this ?
4. While I'll be running a BitcoinD for the P2Pool, can I make the basic API calls to it from my Bitcoin services instead of calling blockchain.info ?
Eagerly waiting for your response... Thanks for the awesome reddit link
