Running P2Pool:

To use P2Pool, you must be running your own local emeraldd. For standard configurations, using P2Pool should be as simple as:

python run_p2pool.py --net emerald

Then run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 12125 with your EMD_ADDRESS as username and c=EMD as password.

If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your router. Forward port 46858 to the host running P2Pool.

Run for additional options.

python run_p2pool.py --help

cd emerald_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install

Windows (mingw):

In bash type this:

cd emerald_scrypt
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install

Windows (Microsoft Visual C++)

  • Open visual studio console
