Bitcoin QT port forwarding

P2Pool is a completely decentralized Mining pool. It is resistant to 51% attacks, pool hoping, and ddos attacks. No pool fees and it is completely open source!

Requirements:

Generic:

• Bitcoin >=0.8.5
• Python >=2.6
• Twisted >=10.0.0
• python-argparse (for Python =2.6)

Linux:

• sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web
• sudo apt-get install python-argparse # if on Python 2.6

Windows:

Running P2Pool:

To use P2Pool, you must be running your own local bitcoind. For standard configurations, using P2Pool should be as simple as:

python run_p2pool.py Then run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9332 with any username and password.

If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your router. Forward port 9333 to the host running P2Pool.

Run for additional options.

python run_p2pool.py --help

cd litecoin_scrypt sudo python setup.py install Windows (mingw):

In bash type this:

cd litecoin_scrypt C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install Windows (microsoft visual c++)

• Open visual studio console

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS% # For visual c++ 2012 SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS% # For visual c++ 2010 cd litecoin_scrypt C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install If you run into an error with unrecognized command line option ‘-mno-cygwin’, see this:

Run P2Pool with the “–net litecoin” option. Run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9327. Forward port 9338 to the host running P2Pool.

Litecoin’s use of ports 9332 and 9332 conflicts with P2Pool running on the Bitcoin network. To avoid problems, add these lines to litecoin.conf and restart litecoind:

rpcport=10332 port=10333
