Build a P2Pool Node
P2Pool is a decentralized mining pool that consists of a network of peer-to-peer miner nodes that anyone can mine or expand. This guide will show you how to install the P2Pool software, create your own P2Pool node, and join it to the P2Pool network. We will be using a fork of the original Bitcoin p2pool software, called zen2pool, that has been optimized for scrypt- and progressive-N scrypt-based altcoins. If you would like to install the Bitcoin specific node software, then use forrestv's version (instead of zen2pool) and substitute references to 'zen2pool' with p2pool throughout the rest....
