Ok, that sounds fine. I'm thinking the disk will really help with the GBT. 1s is not good, but it's workable for now especially if you're just testing it and have plans for something beefier later. I would just caution you that if you are running the wallet on the same "server" you take plenty of backups... with only a single drive if it goes you'll lose everything if you don't have backups.

And, I would also suggest that if you are planning on opening your node to be public (and possible even if not), if you have the resources, run your wallet on a totally different machine. This way if something bad were to happen (hack) your wallet won't be compromised.

Right, good idea! I'll do a daily auto-backup on a usb stick. Just copy the folder "data" or is it better that I do I copy the whole folder directly "p2p-master"?

With regard to the possibility that something bad happens :-( I made start the pool with the option "--address" which, as far I understand, it sends the payout of the pool to another address different than the wallet of the pool. is that right?
This idea, however, I hold in consideration because surely could raise a bit of work to my poor toshiba...

I had think a laptop was sufficient to run the p2pool because I noticed that system requirements not too exorbitant, also consumes much less power than a standard desktop, the only thing I regret is not having put a ssd .. .

I hope and I plan it can become a public node, because in Italy there are few p2pool and with a very high ping, but for first I want to fix this glitch ... thanks to all for the help. Erik

I would STRONGLY recommend against keeping any private keys on the pool machine.
