      Some additional information:

      If you are having problems getting it to start, try adding “–disable-upnp” to the startup line.

      If you plan to offer it for community usage, you should increase the number of connections allowed with something like: “–max-conns 500” in the startup line.

      Unless you are using this for a solo mining pool, you need to add some additional nodes to connect to in order to join the rest of the p2pool network. Below are some of the nodes I know of:

      -n p2pftc1.d2.cc -n p2pool.dyndns.info -n p2pool.org -n ftcp2p.nut2pool.com -n p2pftc2.d2.cc -n p2pftc3.d2.cc

      There should be added to your startup line as well.

      Thank you very much, D2.
      I have those nodes added in networks.py . Is it the same effect?

      I have added “–max-conns 500” in the startup for increase connections and community use… This server is always on… I hope :)

      But I only have “Peers out”, don’t have “Peers in”. Any idea? I have opened port 19339 in iptables. Need other port?

      Thanks !!!

      PD .- Sorry by my english ::)

        Here is a little script to keep your p2pool running in the event it crashes. It should be easy to understand to adopt it for other things as well.

        The first step is to create a directory for your script, enter it, and create the script file:

        …

        This script will run every 60 seconds, if p2pool is running it will do nothing, otherwise it will attempt to run your script to start it!

        Great!!
        I add this script faster ;D

          Not sure what you are using on 19339 but the 2 ports you need open are whatever you specified on the --w switch and the p2p-port

          –w 19327 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9336

          you should NOT allow external access to bitcoind-rpc-port
          [/quote]

          Ok, I have 9336 closed… ::)

          i have oppened 19339 following networks.py feathercoin configuration >> “P2P_PORT=19339”

          I will do some testing…

                Provided you’ve opened 19339 you should be fine. It does take a long time to get peers in. Sometimes 24h+. The reason is that most pools have the default config of 6 peers out max. Once they have the 6 they don’t look for more. Eventually, as pools restart, shutdown, startup, or whatever, they’ll start to come to you. Patience… ;)

                Of course as soon as you restart the server, you’ll lose your incoming again. :(

                        and so on…

                        There’s a small typo in the HOWTO also i think:

                        [quote]
                        You can use screen -r to open up the p2pool console, or you can tail -f ~/[s]p2pool-fc[/s]/data/feathercoin/log
                        [/quote]

                        should read “p2pool_feathercoin”

                              Is libssl and the source files installed on your system? For example “libcurl4-openssl-dev” ?

                                Hello there again.
                                the problem with the missing libraries it’s already done.

                                Now I have another problem. I’ve done everything that it is in the guide, but I have no feedback.
                                so I start feathercoind and I get a “feathercoin server starting” and nothing else.
                                when i make the “screen” instruction i just get nothing.

                                any idea of what is wrong?

                                – Update –

                                Now the “screen -r” command its working, and I’ve done nothing to fix it.

                                  I’m sure I’m doing something very wrong here…

                                  So everything seams to install ok for me as I follow the steps thru but then when it gets to the stages for things to be running, it all goes a little wonky!

                                  [code]~/feathercoind[/code]

                                  Brings back the following

                                  [code]p2pool@ubuntu:~$ Feathercoin server starting
                                  Feathercoin: Error loading blkindex.dat[/code]

                                  Which looks like the block index to me, but I can’t find it to deal with that fact that it looks like it may be corrupt.

                                  So ignoring this and trying to carry on to see what happens I use the following to start things off

                                  [code]~/p2pool-feathercoin/run_p2pool.py --net feathercoin -a 6yDqT91YyjioxDeLfcbpWe7Zg9CRfZ1WnF -f 1 --give-author 0 --w 19327 --bitcoind-p2p-port 9336 --bitcoind-rpc-port 9667 rpcadmin APASSWORDHERE --disable-upnp -n ftcpool.nl:19327 -n 94-76-229-211.static.as29550.net:19327 -n p5DC05409.dip0.t-ipconnect.de:19327[/code]

                                    I hope, you have a backup of your private keys, or no coins in your wallet
                                    What you can do:

                                    Start feathercoind with the -rescan option to force it to check all locally stored blocks with the blockchain.

                                    If that doesn’t help, delete the blockfiles.

                                    It’s the whole ~/.feathercoin/blocks directory

                                    then start feathercoind again.

                                    OR

                                    rename the whole ~/.feathercoin directory to a different name and start feathercoind
                                    add the rpcuser and rpc password lines to ~/.feathercoin/feathercoin. conf and any other customization you did to that file and restart feathercoind

                                    Quite normal, as p2pool tries to connect to the feathercoind and this is not running.
                                    The message should disapear as soon as feathercoind has synced with the blockchain and is ready to work

                                      No wallet on here this is just being setup as a p2pool server, so nothing to worry about (or is there?)

                                      I have deleted blkindex.dat now and things are looking a little better, is there any way of telling once the block chain has been downloaded?

                                        if feathercoind is running, you can query it locally using the RPC interface:
                                        [code]feathercoind getinfo[/code]

                                        That will tell you what block it has and will let you work out how many more you need to download, could be a while though…

                                          +1 to both of you for your help :)

                                          It seams to be up and running now, I have a small miner pointing at it for now to see what happens and make sure I don’t have any big issues before I go and point everything I have at it.

                                          So the next question is, how often do I expect to see a payout? do I need to run a script or something to process them or is it already?

                                          Thanks again for your help guys

                                            You’ll see the coins you mine appear in your wallet and show up as immature for 120 blocks (I think?)

                                            You won’t see masses of coins come in though, it will be more like a regular drip of fractions of coins (depending on your hashrate of course).

                                            Works out well though, my PXC P2Pool miners are making at least as much as when I was on a pool, with no fees.
