Changes for Core 0.12 and better vardiff

This is the second release candidate for an update to p2pool that includes the changes required for it to be compatible with Vertcoin Core 0.12. It also includes better vardiff options that are optionally enabled via the --miner-share-rate, --address-share-rate and --min-difficulty flags. Over the previous RC this pre-release fixes a bug causing valid shares to be reported as invalid to the miner.

• Using --miner-share-rate 4 would target a pseudoshare (the Yes!!!! you see from vertminer) rate of four per minute per connected miner.
• --address-share-rate is the same as above except per address rather than per miner.
• --min-difficulty allows you to set the minimum offered pseudoshare difficulty making p2pool compatible with NiceHash where a very high minimum difficulty of sixteen or above is required.

Update bootstrap nodes

Updates bootstrap nodes for networks one and two.

2nd Vertcoin P2Pool network for small miners

This release introduces a second Vertcoin p2pool network designed for smaller miners, perhaps with only one or two GPUs who those do not mine frequently (ie miners are not running 24/7). The existing p2pool network has grown to be quite large, making it hard for smaller and infrequent miners to get a share. This new network can be accessed via the flag --net vertcoin2. Those who have dedicated VTC miners should continue to use the existing network.

Testnet bug fixes

This update activates SegWit on VTC testnet p2pool

Bug fix release

This release fixes a bug where mined blocks did not contain a SegWit commitment

Note: this will fork the share chain
