Running P2Pool:

To use P2Pool, you must be running your own local bitcoind. For standard configurations, using P2Pool should be as simple as:

python run_p2pool.py

Then run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on P2Pool-port with any username and password.

If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your router. Forward port 9333 to the host running P2Pool.

Run for additional options.

python run_p2pool.py --help

Notes for Scrypt-N-Coins:

Requirements:

In order to run P2Pool with the Scrypt-N-Coins, you would need to build and install the vtc_scrypt module that includes the scrypt proof of work code that Scrypt-N-Coins uses for hashes.

Linux:

cd py_modules/vertcoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install

Windows (mingw):

• Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
• Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/

In bash type this:

cd py_modules\vertcoin_scrypt
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install

Windows (microsoft visual c++)

• Open visual studio console

In bash type this:

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS%	           # For visual c++ 2012
SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS%             # For visual c++ 2010
cd py_modules\vertcoin_scrypt
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
