Create a pool

I just launched a public p2pool that started out with the same goals as you. Basically i wanted to point all my miners to 1 place that was not soloing but also had the benefit of the lower variance that pool mining brings.Personally i think p2pool is the way to go to help prevent future attacks solely because it’s decentralized. If someone DDoS’s coinotron, thats a quarter or our hashrate gone. Add wemine & give-me and there goes half the hashrate.
Obviously with p2pool, if we build a STRONG network of hosts all pointing to each other as peers and then specifying a long list of nodes in you cgminer config it will fail between them all. If you use the same username (payoutaddress) you dont even have the PPLNS ramp up issue. It’s a seamless failover and a win/win as far as i can see!
edit - forgot to mention, it mines directly to your wallet address and shows as “Mined” and you don’t have to worry about the auto-payout malarky.
For now, if you want to point your new beasts to a p2pool to see how you get on, D2, Mogumodz and my good self all run public nodes.
http://ftcp2p.nut2pool.com:19327 is my one… Use your payment address as the username. Password can be anything.

[/quote]Sounds excellent.
How do you setup the server regarding username/work payout to ftc adress? i have set up p2pool before, but havent quite figured out the payout to different wallets yet. -
On the server (if you’re hosting it) you specify your wallet address as the “default” by using the “-a” in your startup script like this…
[code]screen -d -m -S ftcpool run_p2pool.py --net feathercoin -a 6hRttycvBhThNL864KjZZRFifuTcsdz6z8 -f 0 --give-author 0 --w 19327 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9336 --bitcoind-rpc-port 9667 [/code]
From a client logging in, you simply specify your payout address as the username. Like this
[code]cgminer --scrypt -o ftcp2p.nut2pool.com:19327 -u -p x [/code]
What that does is let others join your pool and get their share but anything else goes to the default wallet (thats how i get to have my name on my miner graphs rather than a wallet address ;) )
-
ah so its auto sent to ftc adress if username is an valid adress?
haha i tough it was a lot more hassle than that:P -
Exactly - really couldn’t be simpler that’s why i can’t see why more miners don’t use it. :)
-
think i jump aboard your p2pool for now, leaving for dreamhack tomorrow morning so would be great to be “ddos secure” in the meantime=). Since my solobackup machine is going with me i dont want to hang out around those large pools…
Will buy myself a new computer there and set up an linux server for hosting my website/p2pool.
Need high quality components so i know it will work 100% as it should=) -
Feel free to follow this guide to help you set up your own.

If you don’t want it in windows just follow the advice from where the Linux instructions start.

hmm
i still want to set up my own pool with stratum support=PSeems like no matter what coin you look at the pool sites are about the same.
http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/
http://www.worldcoinpool.com/gettingstarted
http://www.phenixcoinpool.com/statsAuthAnyone want to point me in the direction as to what script/software i should look for to have something like that.
Alternative are there anyone out there with an “cleaned up version”, im under the impression that there no plug/play because of buggy mainversions and so.
That are willing to “sell” their complete poolscript for ftc? -

I have not tested any of what I am providing below, but these are relatively updated versions of both stratum and mmcfe which seem to be rather promising.This version of mmcfe has a change that was claimed to fix the multiple withdraw exploit, but I looked at their “fix” and think it MIGHT reduce the effectiveness, but it certainly does not prevent it.

I will also tell you that anyone using any currently available version of mmcfe does not have a 100% stable version. There will be the need for updates to fix issues as they are discovered and for this reason I recommend you not pay someone for a setup expecting a complete setup.
If you really want an out of the box setup, go with p2pool.
[/quote]I see the point with p2pool, however my ideas requirers a pool for “inhouse” mining.
Would be great to have web accounts with “wallet” online for use within the sites four walls=)
Thanks for the tip, will dig into it tonight 8) -

If you want it for personal use only then p2pool is a great solution. A p2pool does not have to connect to the rest of the p2pool network and infact will not automatically. You have to specify at least 1 additional node on the p2pool network for you to actually connect to the other p2pools. However, if you do connect to one additional node, all other nodes they connect to are shared to yours.As long as you don’t specify any additional nodes to connect to besides your own, it will be a private isolated pool.
