I can't even get this working on Windows.

  • Installed Python 2.7 (x64)
  • Installed Twisted
  • Installed Zope.Interface
  • Unzipped the files into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
  • Created bitcoin.conf in: C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
  • Typed:
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
server=1
NOTE: I used a real u/n and p/w.
  • Made a "run_p2pool.exe" shortcut adding the following in the Target line: C:\Users\Me\Downloads\p2pool_win32_11.2\run_p2pool.exe
NOTE: and are the ones I used in the bitcoin.conf file.
  • Extracted cgminer to the Downloads folder as well.
  • Created a shortcut of cgminer.exe and edited the Target line as such:
C:\Users\Me\Downloads\cgminer-2.10.5-win32\cgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:9332 -u -p
NOTE: I used the the u/n and p/w from the bitcoin.conf file.[/list]

I run run_p2pool.exe shortcut, then I run cgminer.exe shortcut, NO DICE!

What I see:
run_p2pool

Just wanted to make a d'oh note. I rebooted my computer and it works now.
I suppose it's because Twisted makes a registry edit and you need a reboot for that to take effect.

In other news, the above instructions will get you mining on P2Pool on Windows. (I'm using Win 8 x64)
