Does anyone know how to adapt forest p2pool for PND? I was interested in setting one up to be my third coin for www.omargpools.ca

I've created a repo for the p2pool config over at https://github.com/pandacoin-official/p2pool-config.

This will still need some testing as I'm not yet sure about the values for IDENTIFIER and PREFIX.

Furthermore I'd be happy to add your server to the list of bootstrap addresses.

p2pool does not support random block rewards, as such running one will pollute the blockchain with undervalued coins. I chose not to go in this direction after adapting p2pool for PND some days ago, through reading multiple posts on getting the correct settings. I felt that as a miner I'd rather be paid correctly for a block found than be 'short changed' and as a pool operator, didn't like the idea of ripping miners off unintentionally due to to this limitation in p2pool. The maintainer of p2pool seems reluctant to code in support for random block rewards deeming it 'hard'.

Please don't pollute the chain with undervalued coins Sad
