What processor do I need - I have CPU, AMD Sempron 145 /2.8GHz/ 1MB Cache/ AM3/


Edit: https://github.com/Paul-Bradley/EasyNode/releases  - There aren’t any releases here

I don't think CPU will be a big issue, it should be quite light on that.

The release is still being uploaded. Should be available in the next 30 minutes or so.



Is this somthing which can be run under VMWare esxi (or converted to esxi)?
Correct me if im wrong, but isn't a personal p2pool the same thing as solo mining, ie, you get paid only for finding blocks and not by shares?


i use a virtual w7 installation on vmware esxi as my p2pool (nothing else installed only p2pool, the phyton stuff and all the mambo jambo needed for and the 3 wallets).

the hypervisor is running on an old Xeon E5504 with 2ghz.
w7 has only 2 cpu cores and 4gb ram assigned (need rest for a sbs and a linux nas running on the same hypervisor)

if all is running and my 4 workers are connected, w7 taskmanager shows about 1-2% cpu and 1.5gb ram usage.
so i guess the p2pool can run on a toaster or an iphone Smiley these days with 1 core and 1-2gb ram.
running a public p2pool is a different story ....
