Hi, i started my journey into the coinworld by pretty much diving straight into the pool side of things. i’ve pretty much compiled and hosted every coin on a cloud VM for testing. i consider myself a noob in all of this still.
one of my hangups when launching a pool, is i find myself having to wait for somebody else to modify p2pool for whichever altcoin. i would like to get past this hurdle. i have snooped around all of the source files and readmes for whichever coins and have only been able to come up with a fraction of a fraction of the information.
would anybody be willing to explain how, why, where, and what the required information below comes from/means? share your process or formulas for coming up with the numbers and addresses.
i imagine this would be useful for other pool backends as well.
