why does the stats page only show up until May
will this work on a dedicated box I am setting up - intel atom board with 2g ram and 80g hd ,  ubuntu 64 os
I was hoping this box would be enough to run both the bitcoin node/sever and the p2pool software.

since I have not installed ubuntu yet would it be advisable to go with 32 or 64bit.. and is there any cheat sheets for avoiding mistakes and reducing my time to start


The hash stats only show from when the node was installed, so each p2pool node will have a different length of history.

You should be able to run both the bitcoin core and p2pool software with with your setup without issue.  64-bit OS would be best, I think.

I have a p2pool setup guide for litecoin on linux which might be some help.  Bitcoin p2pool setup is virtually the same.  There are lots of pretty decent guide in these forums, or a quick google search.  Disclaimer, my guide may not be 100% up-to-date because I am lazy (particularly for compiling litecoin core), but I think the p2pool setup part hasn't really changed much since the last time I updated.

Feel free to PM with if you have specific questions, or just post them here if you think others may benefit from the Q&A.


I installed ubuntu 15.04 then installed bitcoin and let it synchronize. created a bitcoin.conf to have it run as a server and attempted to install p2pool

I first followed the instructions on p2pool.in

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool.git
cd p2pool
make

up until I typed make.. I was doing great  but when I did I got this

nubminer@bit-server:~/p2pool$ make
mkdir -p "/home/nubminer/p2pool/.cache"/pyenv
curl -L 'https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.11.6.tar.gz' >'/home/nubminer/p2pool/.cache/pyenv/virtualenv-1.11.6.tar.gz' || { rm -f '/home/nubminer/p2pool/.cache/pyenv/virtualenv-1.11.6.tar.gz'; exit 1; }
/bin/sh: 1: curl: not found
Makefile:51: recipe for target '/home/nubminer/p2pool/.cache/pyenv/virtualenv-1.11.6.tar.gz' failed
make: *** [/home/nubminer/p2pool/.cache/pyenv/virtualenv-1.11.6.tar.gz] Error 1

so I decided to ram a python down its throat with

sudo apt-get install python-twisted python-argparse

and make still does nothing for me.

I never installed python or twisted since I really dont know the path

so I tried following your litecoin guide and I believe I am at the same point .. I need to Make or install

so I tried and I get the following

nubminer@bit-server:~/p2pool$ sudo python setup.py install
[sudo] password for nubminer:
