Running P2Pool:

To use P2Pool, you must be running your own local darkcoind. 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 8998 with any username and password.

If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your router. Forward port 8999 to the host running P2Pool.

Run for additional options.

python run_p2pool.py --help
