Hey Guys
We see that all pools suffer DDOS all the time. If you feel difficult to find a solid pool, why not setup a p2pool on your own pc for altcoins?
There are few guilds that show you how to do it, but I find those complicated and outdated. Today is Jan-20-2014.
Since there are lots of people asking this, Im gonna show you how to do it in few steps
YOU NEED MEDIUM-HIGH COMPUTER SKILL TO CONTINUE!
STEPS (Dogecoin for example) :
1, Go to
https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav , click "Download Zip" on the right side of the page. Unzip it somewhere.
2, Scroll Down that page, you will see "Requirements" section. Install everything that listed under Windows system. The default location to install all those packages should be "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages" except Python itself.
3, There is one more package you need to download, its GCC 4.3.3 you can download and install from here:
https://github.com/develersrl/gccwinbinaries4, Going to the folder you unzipped in STEP 1, Going into a subfolder called "litecoin_scrypt", then in cmd window, run this:
setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install Note1, Yes, you can run .py file like a .exe after you installing python. Make sure you run command line
IN THAT SUBFOLDER!! (there is another setup.py in root folder, don't mess up!)
Note2, Computer environment are different. If you see a error, google it. Most errors are because of your windows missing some "plugins". Find it and download it!
5, Run Dogecoin wallet with username and password in "
dogecoin.conf" . Don't change the default prc ports.
6, Going to the folder you unzip in STEP1, in command line run this:
run_p2pool.py --net dogecoin username password p2pool.py will link with your wallet. you will see a window scrolling thousands of words non stop.... means your dogecoin p2pool is running! Congrass!
7, Job done!! run cgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:9555 -u anything -p anything.
Make sure your router/modem has uPnP, otherwise forward port 8555.
(Q: how you know the port is 9555 and 8555? What are the ports for other altcoins? A: take a look at the
network.py file, everything is in there)
It took me
DAYS to find out those steps!
It takes you minutes to donate me: (well, i am told i will be disappointed....

I hope that coin makers could make a build-in p2pool as part of the released wallets.
