In order to run P2Pool with the MediterraneanCoin network, you would need to build and install the medcoin_hybrid module that includes the HybridScryptHash256 proof of work code that MediterraneanCoin uses for hashes.
Linux:
note: if running on a fresh Ubuntu machine, you will need also the following packages: sudo aptitude install build-essential python2.7-dev
cd medcoin_hybrid
sudo python setup.py install
Windows (mingw):
- Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
- Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
In bash type this:
cd medcoin_hybrid
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
Windows (microsoft visual c++)
- Open visual studio console
In bash type this:
SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS% # For visual c++ 2012
SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS% # For visual c++ 2010
cd medcoin_hybrid
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
To use P2Pool with MediterraneanCoin, follow these instructions:
1 - you must be running your own local mediterraneancoind or mediterraneancoin-qt with -server option. Also, allow the daemon to complete the download of the complete blockchain before starting the pool.
2 - then, run P2Pool with the "--net mediterraneancoin" option:
python run_p2pool.py --net mediterraneancoin
P2Pool for MediterraneanCoin listens to its peers on port 9374; if you are behind a router, forward port 9374 to the host running P2Pool (in order to be reached by the other peers of P2Pool)
3 - start mcproxy with the following options:
java -jar mcproxy.jar -p 9375
4 - start the modified cgminer:
cgminer -o http://localhost:8080 -u test -p test -Q 0
or the modified bfgminer:
sudo ./bfgminer --submit-stale -o http://localhost:8080 -u test -p x -Q 0 -S all -T --verbose
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.

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.
Linux:
cd litecoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install
Windows (mingw):
- Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
- Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
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
In bash type this:
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
