Hey all,

I've set up a p2pool at blisterpool.com:9332. With something like cgminer you can connect to: ./cgminer blisterpool.com:9332 -u -p x -any other settings

It'll automatically select stratum, I believe (it did for me), but I'd appreciate any feedback on this.

It's a merged-mining PPLNS pool with 1% fee, which miners can connect to using their bitcoin address as the username, and get automatic payments to their bitcoin addresses (standard fare for p2pools). The difference with this site/pool is that if you register a bitcoin-devcoin address pair on the main site - http://blisterpool.com, you will get a 0.2% gross devcoin payment (converted from the other alt-coins at various exchanges, or the 1% fee if it isn't enough), as well as all devcoins merge mined in the last 24h period split by total hash over the day. The gross is calculated from all bitcoins plus alt-coins (valued by btc bid depth) minus the merged mined devcoins, passing through the server on a given day.

Of the remaining pool income, 0.2% of the gross will be sent in devcoins at market rate, to developers on the bitcoin and devcoin share lists, and the rest kept for server maintenance.

I've got a basic front end up and running, and I'm ready to start testing my algorithms to begin automating it. If you're a bitcoin miner with decent hash power, I'd appreciate it if you could throw a few hash my way to build the pool and start getting some bonus devcoin payouts. Even if you don't have much hash power but want something devcoiny to throw it at, you can connect to the pool and you should still get a share of something. If any miners wish to donate their devcoins to the developers, all they have to do is not register on the site and just connect using their bitcoin address to get the bitcoins, and the devcoins will go to the developers (they will be sent on top of the 0.2% figure).

Feel free to ask any questions.
