Peer-to-peer Verium mining pool

Requirements:

Generic:

• Verium >=1.0.1
• Python >=2.6
• Twisted >=10.0.0
• python-argparse (for Python =2.6)

Linux:

• sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web
• sudo apt-get install python-argparse # if on Python 2.6

Windows:

• Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
• Install Twisted: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads
• Install Zope.Interface: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface/3.8.0
• Install python win32 api: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/
• Install python win32 api wmi wrapper: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/#downloads
• Unzip the files into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages

Running P2Pool:

In order to run P2Pool with the Verium network, you would need to build and install the scryptSquared module that includes the scrypt proof of work code that Verium uses for hashes.

Linux:

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

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 port 8336 with any username and password.

If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your router. Forward port 8777 to the host running P2Pool.

Run for additional options.

python run_p2pool.py --help
