Ok, just for the noobs like me:

finally it works!

i have a ubuntu 14.04 LTS running on an old sys (athlon x2 2ghz, 4gb ram, 20gb hdd) and installed it following this howto as a p2pool node.

http://coingolem.com/how-to-setup-your-own-p2pool-node-144/

tip one: read it without touching your wannabe-node from top to bottom!

tip two: follow the white rabbit instructions! (vertcoind --daemon takes some time!)

after installing the vertcoind and p2pool software i installed the monocled, edited the /home/*your_name*/.monocle/monocle.conf and started monocled --daemon.

after i installed all, i was searching for some data... is this thing running? only info i got was for the p2pool_run... showing me some data about vtc.

i pointed my 2 rigs (~1.1mh/s together) to my node and checked if they are shown in my browser pointed to my p2pool node (for me: 192.168.0.109:9171) and waited... and waited... and spamed the forum here... and waited, getting bored, waited some more... falling asleep!
this morning i checked with
Code:
monocled listtransactions
and see what i found!

Code:
[

        "account" : "",
        "address" : "M8qqY2r9RBnVnk2WaQBmcvpm6KFUVzkY6v",

]
OK... to say it clear and without any chance of misunderstanding:

If you setup your own (private) p2pool node you will mining monocle solo!

so here comes the jedi academy pro tip:
be patience young padawan!

ps: i'll write a howto/summary for seting up a p2pool (private) node after my shopping and household stuff...

What if I am using VTC_ADDRESS+DIFF for my p2pool with solo MON. Is it ok or I have to remove manual diff adjustment?

afaik you should remove man diff!
