Requirements:

Generic:

• Magi >=1.2.1.1
• Python >=2.6
• Twisted >=10.0.0
• python-argparse (for Python =2.6)

Linux:

• sudo apt-get install python-zope.interface python-twisted python-twisted-web
• sudo apt-get install python-argparse # if on Python 2.6

Windows:

• Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
• Install Twisted: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads
• Install Zope.Interface: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface/3.8.0
• Install python win32 api: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/
• Install python win32 api wmi wrapper: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/#downloads
• Unzip the files into C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages

Initial Setup for P2Pool:

To set up P2Pool for Magi, after you have downloaded the dependencies, you must install the Magi hashing code for proof of work:

cd magi-hash
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..

Running P2Pool:

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

python run_p2pool.py --net magi

Then run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 8232 with any username and password.

A sample magi.conf file for magid is shown below:

daemon=1
server=1
port=8233
rpcport=8232
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpass(use something secure)

If you are behind a NAT, you should enable TCP port forwarding on your router. Forward port 8232 to the host running P2Pool.

Run for additional options.

python run_p2pool.py --help

Notes for Magi:

Requirements:

In order to run P2Pool with the Magi network, you MUST build and install the magi m7m_module that includes the M7M proof of work code that Magi uses for hashes.

Linux:

cd magi-hash
sudo python setup.py install

Windows (mingw):

• Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
• Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/

In bash type this:

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

Windows (microsoft visual c++)

• Open visual studio console

In bash type this:

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS%	           # For visual c++ 2012
SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS%             # For visual c++ 2010
cd magi-hash
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
