Requirements: Generic: Novacoin >= 0.3.2 ltc_scrypt Python Twisted python-argparse (for Python <=2.6) Linux: sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web sudo apt-get install python-argparse # if on Python 2.6 or older Windows: Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/ Install Twisted: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads Install Zope.Interface: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface/3.8.0 Unzip the files into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages Additional info about scrypt module: In order to run P2Pool with the NovaCoin network, you would need to build and install the ltc_scrypt module that includes the scrypt proof of work code that NovaCoin uses for block hashes. Linux: cd litecoin_scrypt sudo python setup.py install Windows: Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/ cd litecoin_scrypt C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install If you run into an error with unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin', see this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6034390/compiling-with-cython-and-mingw-produces-gcc-error-unrecognized-command-line-o Running P2Pool: To use P2Pool, you must be running your own local novacoind. 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 8336 with any username and password. If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your router. Forward port 9777 to the host running P2Pool. Run "python run_p2pool.py --help" for additional options.
