P2Pool is a decentralized pool that works by creating a P2P network of miner nodes. These nodes work on a chain of shares similar to Bitcoin's blockchain. Each node works on a block that includes payouts to the previous shares' owners and the node itself. There is no central point of failure, making it DoS resistant.

Getting P2Pool

Run bitcoin with the RPC interface enabled - see the next section for instructions on how to do this
Download p2pool: (see links at top for binaries!)
- git: git clone git://github.com/forrestv/p2pool.git
Run p2pool:
- Windows py2exe: run_p2pool.exe
- Source: python run_p2pool.py
Run a miner daemon (see https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool#Miners ) with long polling connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9332 with any username and password
- With all miners, using a high FPS target (30?) or a low intensity (7?) helps a lot with reducing stales.

HOWTO: Bitcoin server mode
You must be running the Bitcoin client, and it must have its RPC interface enabled.

Open the Bitcoin data folder. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

Make a new file named bitcoin.conf (not bitcoin.conf.txt! You might have to go into Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Folder Options > View and uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'). Paste this into it:
rpcpassword= server=1

Dependencies for running FROM SOURCE:

Bitcoin 0.5.0 or higher
Python 2.5 or higher
python-argparse for Python 2.6 and lower
Twisted (Ubuntu package python-twisted)

Additional options of interest:
-w PORT: Listen for workers on a port other than 9332.
-a BITCOIN_ADDRESS: Mine to this address instead of requesting one from Bitcoin.

Last, forward port 9333 through your firewall to the host running p2pool! (Oh, and join #p2pool on freenode!)

嗨，你好！
你不觉得分配制度出问题了吗？110G阿瓦隆没有收获，其它的小算力也支撑不了多久。而难度已经要900M， Share difficulty: 478000，你一天能挖到多少SHARE ？如果我把中国的P2POOL节点矿池关闭，至少有15T算力丢失。而更多的算力也将会陆续丢失。我一直努力尝试让更多人使用P2POOL，但是我失望了。请考虑降低SHARE难度，Share difficulty: 500000在我的矿池4T算力，竟然一小时都很难挖到SHARE。如果这种情况不能得到改善，我和伙伴们2个多月的努力将会丢失。而P2POOL也将损失更多算力，最终会因此而灭亡。希望你能考虑降低Share difficulty。

非常抱歉，我不得不使用谷歌翻译。

Hi, hello!
Do not you think the distribution system wrong? 110G Avalon no gain, other small force also can not count how long. The difficulty has been to 900M, Share difficulty: 478000, how much of your day can be dug SHARE? If I put mine in China P2POOL node pool is closed, at least 15T force lost count. And more force will also continue to lose count. I have been trying to make more people use P2POOL, but I was disappointed. Please consider reducing the difficulty of SHARE, Share difficulty: 500000 4T pool in my mine operator force, even one hour are hard to dig SHARE. If this situation does not improve, I and partners over two months of hard work will be lost. And P2POOL will lose count more force will thus eventually perish. I hope you can consider reducing Share difficulty.

Very sorry, I had to use Google Translate.
