Running P2Pool:
-=============
+-------------------------
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
+ 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 "python run_p2pool.py --help" for additional options.
+Run for additional options.
+
+ python run_p2pool.py --help

Notes for Litecoin:
-=============
+=========================
Requirements:
- 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.
