p2pool VS p2pool

https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool isn't a standalone solo pool. It creates a new block chain with easier to mine blocks, which you share via a P2P protocol with others. When you crack a block you then try it on the main BTC blockchain and hope you get lucky.

You would need to be a developer and perhaps start off other work like https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool to help you get started

I found this site has a list of nodes on P2Pool. https://p2pool.coinpool.pw oh even better P2Pool is a distributed pool. http://p2pool.in official pool site. I am thinking about making my own node.

You can start mining bitcoins to help processing transactions. In order to protect the network, you should join smaller mining pools and prefer decentralized pools like P2Pool or pools with getblocktemplate (GBT) support.

I have included the ltc_scrypt C-binding from p2pool (https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool)

https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool says "yes" - if you’re mining from a computer behind a router (I’m not)

poolboy is a tiny (~ 200 lines of code) web server that renders a static page with stats from P2Pool data-api.

The new version (3.5) is out: https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool

I have set up my node (pruned) as per the P2Pool recommendation: https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/releases

https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool and followed the GNU/Linux guide, which is what I'm doing right now; it's making.

Just don't misinform new Monero users: p2pool and gupax are not a mining pool (that is by definition a web service maintained by another person) but rather a mining software that comes with a burden - its maintain costs and self-responsibility.
