**P2pool installation with pypy -- Windows**

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

cd lyra2re-hash-python
git submodule init
git submodule update
sudo python setup.py install
cd ../
python run_p2pool.py --net vertcoin
On Windows, pypy is only supported via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). P2pool on pypy on WSL is much faster than P2pool on
CPython on native Windows. To install WSL, first follow the steps outlined here:

Then run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9171 with any
username and password.

If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your
router. Forward port 9346 to the host running P2Pool.

Run for additional options.

python run_p2pool.py --help
Once you've done that, run bash and follow the rest of the steps below.

Notes for Litecoin:
=========================
Requirements:
-------------------------
In order to run P2Pool with the Litecoin network, you would need to build and install the
ltc_scrypt module that includes the scrypt proof of work code that Litecoin uses for hashes.
Copy and paste the following commands into a bash shell in order to install p2pool on Windows or Linux.

Linux:
>sudo apt-get update

cd litecoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install
>sudo apt-get install pypy pypy-dev pypy-setuptools gcc build-essential git

Windows (mingw):
* Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
* Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/

In bash type this:
>wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -O - | sudo pypy
>sudo rm setuptools-*.zip

cd litecoin_scrypt
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install

Windows (Microsoft Visual C++)
* Open visual studio console
>wget https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/84/21/80cdc749908ebf2719a9063eddcc02b668fbc62d200c1f1a4d92aaaba76b/zope.interface-5.2.0.tar.gz
tar zxf zope.interface-5.2.0.tar.gz

In bash type this:
>cd zope.interface-5.2.0/

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

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6034390/compiling-with-cython-and-mingw-produces-gcc-error-unrecognized-command-line-o
>sudo pypy setup.py install

Running P2Pool:
-------------------------
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.
>cd ..

Litecoin's use of ports 9333 and 9332 conflicts with P2Pool running on
the Bitcoin network. To avoid problems, add these lines to litecoin.conf
and restart litecoind:
>sudo rm -r zope.interface-5.2.0*

rpcport=10332
port=10333

[Available here](COPYING)
>cd Twisted-20.3.0

>sudo pypy setup.py install

>cd ..

>sudo rm -r Twisted-20.3.0*


>git clone https://github.com/vertcoin-project/p2pool-vtc


You'll also need to install and run your vertcoind, and edit ~/.vertcoin/vertcoin.conf with your vertcoind's RPC username and password. Launch your vertcoind, and after it has finished downloading blocks and syncing, go to your p2pool directory and run


>pypy run_p2pool.py


**Miner setup**


P2pool communicates with miners via the stratum protocol. For VTC, configure your miners with the following information:


>URL: stratum+tcp://(Your node's IP address or hostname):9171

>Worker: (Your bitcoin address)

>Password: x


For Litecoin, replace 9332 with 9327. For Bitcoin Cash, use 9348.


Mining to Legacy (P2PKH), SegWit/MultiSig (P2SH) and Bech32 addresses are supported for the following coins with the specified address prefixes:

|Coin |P2PKH |P2SH |Bech32 |
|---------------|-------|-------|-------------------------------|
|Vertcoin |`V...` |`3...` |`vtc...` |


If you wish to modify the mining difficulty, you may add something like "address+1" after your mining address to set the pseudoshare difficulty to 1, or "address/10" to set the actual share difficulty to 10 or the p2pool minimum share difficulty, whichever is higher. Pseudoshares only affect hashrate statistics, whereas actual shares affect revenue variance and efficiency.


**Firewall considerations**


If your node is behind a firewall or behind NAT (i.e. on a private IP address), you may want to forward ports to your p2pool server. P2pool uses two ports: one for p2p communication with the p2pool network, and another for both the web UI and for stratum communication with workers. For Vertcoin, those ports are 9346 (p2p) and 9171 (stratum/web).
