I am new to this and love the idea of the p2pool. My target is not to earn money, it is more supporting the network as I understand that miners are needed for creating new blocks. I'm running a full node on Mac OS too. Unfortunately i am stuck in the installation process of p2pool and the instructions for Mac OS are a little bit confusing for me. The latest version of python and p2pool are downloaded and installed but I won't get it to work. Maybe its because my processor is a M1 or what I am doing wrong ? Is there somewhere a more detailed instruction for dummies? Thank you for the help!
These days it doesn't really make sense to use anything else than an ASIC. Even if CPU mining was supported (I highly doubt it), it will put a lot of stress on your shiny new MacBook, barely help supporting the network at all and also not generate any revenue.
If you're interested in this topic however, I highly recommend buying Compac F by GekkoScience or Futurebit Apollo if you'd like a bit more hashpower and better $/hash value.
You need to try to install jtoomim GitHub repo (pyrhon 2.8+pyPy), that is the latest one, but it is incompatible with the taproot update, as i know.

I see the github has seen a little action lately. Nice to see it continuing to roll forward. I know that a lot of people have been wanting to see this done for some time. I only hope that it gets taken advantage of by miners once it's available. Thanks for doing your part to keep this project alive!
GitHub activity is going on in the different branch - not in the main (ex-master). Check deferred-async branch. We are on vacation till January and will finish all last tasks after New Year.

Hi, crypto_curious!
Is your fork compatible with old one or it's a new p2pool? - Yes, it will be compatible with current latest protocol (share) versions (33 and 34) and after that we will implement jtoomim protocol updates too...
Are there any frontends published, someone is running it and maybe mining on it? - Nothing now, we are running only our experimental nodes, with mix of old python code and newest c++ unpublished releases to test different functions in the new codebase. We made one release which is only for p2p connectivity test purposes with python pools, to test some hypothesis of possibility of compatibility.
In general, that's the state of p2pool/c2pool today? - nearly 20% till release i hope, there is some things left: Stratum, Worker some methods and we are ready to start testing...

Hi!
We are half way to implement it in C++. Can not DM you since i have no rights here. Contact me if You are still interested... Or check project page in my profile.

P2Pool mining server (node) setup for LTC

What is the latest compatible pair of Litecoin Core node + p2pool node? Do these pairs support SegWit?
Official p2pool.in reports latest version 17.0 server, but many pool operators show the presence of versions much higher, like
77.0.0-8-g4b1cc42-dirty 33.0-4-gf7b5fba-dirty and others...
