Developement work for p2pool and NOMP Stratum patch

To p2pool... or not to p2pool. That is the question. A stupid one of course, nevertheless, a question. Without a question mark, which makes is more a paradox rather than a question? What about rhetoric? What about a questionable rhetoric?

Please ignore me, I was just editing out misinformation.

Please contact me on IRC or send me a PM here at the forums. I can help you with p2pool fix testing and testnet nodes.

Is there anything I can do to help? I'm not much of a coder, but I could put up a p2pool and a few miners for testnet if you need to try things out...
 
P2Pool is ready for testing.

Masternode support and various fixes has been added. It is based on the latest p2pool code and includes full commit history. More changes are coming soon.

It won't work on mainnet before the May 25 hardfork.

Testnet pool: http://92.222.7.210:18998
Sourcecode: https://bitbucket.org/dstorm/p2pool-drk

I'm on IRC if you need any help.

So to update our current pool on May 25, should we do a pull from your repository? I'm not terribly familiar with the git mechanism... Also, will this need to be recompiled, or will the python modules drop in without too much fuss?

BTW, dstorm you rock, dude. Thanks so much for fixing this!

Yes you need to do a git clone https://bitbucket.org/dstorm/p2pool-drk.

Port numbers has changed to 8998 and 8999. 18998 and 18999 for testnet.

xcoin_hash module is the same but I have made a new darkcoin_subsidy. It has fewer dependencies and a new getblockvalue method for the testnet. I think you can continue to use the old module, just change the method name in networks.py

Only the classic frontend is included in my repo but extra API stats will be added today and the block number bug has been fixed, so you should be able to use any alternative frontend without patching.

I will probably also add automatic difficulty adjustment by address/worker hashrate.
 
Confirming P2Pool works on testnet!

This is what I got, the first one is masternode payout and the second one is p2pool mining reward.
