Hello,

Let me know if looking for optimized P2Pool node on GNU/Linux or FreeBSD with performance tuning which varies from hardware to hardware and distribution in use.

Few of the advantages post optimization/tuning=>
  • Lower the dead/orphan shares significantly
  • Lower get work latency
  • Proper bandwidth usage
  • Higher payouts as compared to default configs
  • Lower power consumption by P2Pool node
and more..

What are the advantages of using P2Pool?

    Small statistical advantages increasing income
    Control over your own pool node
    No need to trust a pool operator
    Immediate payments
    Helps to protect and keep the Bitcoin network decentralized

What are the disadvantages of using P2Pool?

    Initial setup is a little more complicated
    More CPU / RAM / Internet bandwidth required
    Higher payout variance
    Small transaction fees when spending if you receive many small payouts

Distros=debian/fedora/centos/OpenSuse, gentoo/slackware(would need console to configure for gentoo/slackware) etc, FreeBSD or your choice
