Can you add p2pool yet?

Would be great to have a working, up-to-date version of nodes for any newcomers to point them at.

Great website, found the pool list website first looking for FTC p2pools and thought I would sign up to the forum to get a node I’ve just started added if possible.

This guide is out of date, full details of how to set up Feathercoin p2pool is included in the Github readme.

How to setup a FTC p2pool on Ubuntu 12.04 running inside VirtualBox on Windows

P2Pool is a decentralized mining pool that works by creating a peer-to-peer network of miner nodes.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool Learn More.

We could always use some more p2pool miners.

Download or install Virtual Box software

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads\

Download a premade Ubuntu 12.04 Virtual Box

http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/\

[code]
Look for 15.Ubuntu Linux 12.04 x86
Size (compressed/uncompressed): 769 MB/3.2 GB
Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualboximage/files/Ubuntu Linux/12.04/ubuntu_12.04-x86.7z
(if you have problems with using a premade VDI, make your own using an Ubuntu ISO http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox)

Extract ubuntu_12.04-x86.7z\

e.g C:\Program Files\Oracle\VMs\ubuntu_12.04

Run the VM

Navigate where you just extracted Ubuntu and double click on ubuntu_12.04.vbox or the .vdi

*Change network adaptor to Bridged mode*

When the VM gets to the Ubuntu splash screen, hover over the network adapter icon in the bottom right of the VM window and right click and select ‘Network Adapters’ then change ‘Attached to’ to Bridged Mode.

Also change ‘Promiscuous Mode’ to Allow all and reboot the VM to get a local IP address you can forward ports to.

Log in to Ubuntu
username/password : ubuntu/reverse

Modified p2pool code can be found here

Instructions for Ubuntu 12.04

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties screen git python-rrdtool python-pygame python-scipy
sudo apt-get install python-twisted python-twisted-web python-imaging build-essential libglib2.0-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev
sudo apt-get install python-dev libboost-all-dev libdb+±dev autoconf automake ncurses-dev

Install Feathercoin Daemon:

cd ~/ ; git clone [url]https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin[/url] ; cd ~/FeatherCoin/src ; make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- ; mv feathercoind ~/
mkdir ~/.feathercoin
nano -w ~/.feathercoin/feathercoin.conf[/code]

Add this text into ~/.feathercoin/feathercoin.conf
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=rpcadmin
rpcpassword=GenerateAgoodpasswordhere
rpcport=9667

Fire Up Feathercoin daemon:

Get p2pool modified code for feathercoin:
cd ~/ ; git clone \https://github.com/wellenreiter01/p2pool-neoscrypt

]Install scrypt module for ltc that feathercoin uses (Need sudo) :

cd ~/p2pool-neoscrypt/neoscrypt_scrypt ; sudo python setup.py install

Start up your P2pool for Feathercoin!
screen -d -m -S ftcpool ~/p2pool-neoscrypt/run_p2pool.py --net feathercoin -a YourFTCPayoutAddress -f 0 --give-author 0 --w 19327 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9336 --bitcoind-rpc-port 9667 rpcadmin yourgoodpasswordfromfeathercoin.confhere[/code]

You can use screen -r to open up the p2pool console, or you can tail -f ~/p2pool-fc/data/feathercoin/log

–w port (The port for the stat web interface and also the port where miners connect)
-f number ( Fee you will get for running the pool, in percent)

**Some nice commands:**]
tail -f ~/p2poolf-fc/data/feathercoin/log | grep BLOCK

As the p2pool versions for Feathercoin are no longer available, i have created an updated version of p2pool for feathercoin under: https://github.com/andreasfaerber/p2pool-feathercoin
