Hello everyone, I have heard several complaints from people that they would like to use P2Pool, but it is just too hard to setup. Well today, I am releasing the beta version of StableMiner. StableMiner is a program that combines CGMiner and P2Pool in a GUI interface, allowing even the most inexperienced Bitcoin miner do responsible mining. I build this software because we recently almost had two 51% attacks, using P2Pool reduces the chances of this happening. Also, this version has a slight bug on some windows computers, where it opens a new instance of the program when you hit 'start mining', so just exit out of the new instance for now, until I can get around to fixing it. Also, until I can find a way to package them together, the StableMiner software and the 'Dependencies' folder must be in the same location. I understand that many of you are not going to just jump in and use a random software built by a new member, so feel free to build it from source, I included the instructions in the readme file on github. This program uses CGMiner 3.1, meaning it can only be used with USB ASIC and FPGA miners, no GPUs. Enjoy! (For anyone wondering, I will create a scrypt version soon)

Also: I do not have the necessary hardware to compile this for OSX and Linux. I have included universal build instructions in the readme file on github. If you would like to contribute, just follow the instructions to generate the software for your system. I will offer a reward if you compile this for you OS.

(Ignore the name EasyMiner, it was the first release, but I was advised to changed it because BFGMiner uses the name too)
