It's the only way you can mine more than VTC and MON atm.
Yea, but HOW?
Ive never seen a writeup on how to do this, unless you can point me to some guide, I won't be able to.
I just created a "node in a box" with everything preconfigured to triple merge mine VTC+MON+PLX.
https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/EasyNodeIt's untested as yet, and at the time of posting this it'll be about 20 minutes to so until I've finished uploading the (quite big) zip files.
The HOWTO is on the main page of the git repo.
Would appreciate if a few of you could give it a try. The most likely thing to be broken is that the port forwarding might break when it's run on a new machine (I'm not sure if that is stored in the VM configuration or on the host) which would cause you to be unable to connect a miner or browse to the p2pool web interface on the node, so if necessary I'll ammend the HOWTO so you can add that back easily.
