P2Pool Node Creation Guide for Linux

Here’s the easy guide to save you some trouble digging through the Linux documentation.

If you’d like to see the results, point your miner to my P2Pool: monarch-hi.no-ip.biz:9171 with username of your payment address. Password doesn’t matter. If you’d like to build your own, here’s the quick and dirty instructions.

I’ll assume you already have the modded cgminer up and running. If not here is an excellent guide.

Step 1: Install and compile vertcoin.

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

sudo apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin

cd ~/vertcoin/src

make -f makefile.unix

Step 2: Set up vertcoin.conf.

nano ~/.vertcoin/vertcoin.conf

Paste the following then save vertcoin.conf using Ctrl + o, then Ctril + x in nano

server=1

gen=0

rpcport=5899

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcuser=vertcoin

rpcpassword=x

Step 3: Install P2Pool.

cd ~

sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web

git clone https://github.com/donSchoe/p2pool-vtc

cd ~/p2pool-vtc/py_modules/vertcoin_scrypt

sudo python setup.py install

Step 4: Install enhanced front end.

cd ~

git clone https://github.com/hardcpp/P2PoolExtendedFrontEnd

cp -R P2PoolExtendedFrontEnd/* p2pool-vtc/web-static/

Step 5: Run vertcoind and p2pool using screen.

sudo apt-get install screen

screen

cd ~/vertcoin/src

vertcoind –server

Ctrl + a, then c will create a new screen

cd ~/p2pool-vtc

python run_p2pool.py –net vertcoin -a YOUR_PAYMENT_ADDRESS

Ctrl +a, then c for new screen

Step 6: Point cgminer (vertcoin version) to your P2Pool node

Go to pool settings in cgminer and add 127.0.0.1:9171, username is your payment address, password doesn’t matter or using the command:

cgminer -o 127.0.0.1:9171 -u YOUR_PAYMENT_ADDRESS

Step 7: Allow other nodes to connect if you’re behind a router

Go to your router settings and forward ports 9171 and 9346 to your rig.

Step 8: Monitor progress

Open your rig IP address on port 9171(9172,9174) in your favorite browser.
