Bitcoin addnode

Okay,folks. Here it is! The long anticipated,exhaustively complete,and triple checked for accuracy walk-through of making your very own shiny new BitCoin P2Pool Node! You canto read an awesome post I reposted from BitCoin.org by WindPath at coincadence.com about the vital need of decentralizing the BitCoin mining community. There are lots of alternatives you can use and I will do my best to inject alternative alerts where applicable,but I really want to get this information out there because I had a really hard time finding a single source for what I was trying to do. But I promise the second edition will have alternative alerts!

OS: Debian Wheezy 7.5

BitCoin Version: bitcoind 0.9.1.

***WARNING***Due to HeartBleed outbreak,it is vital that you make sure you update/upgrade both your bitcoin and openssl modules to make sure they are the most current versions.

Note from the editor: I just wanted to mention about the # symbols below in case anyone didn’t know: whenever you see the # it means you need to be logged in as root,or at least to have invoked root access for what we are doing. Whenever you see the $ symbol,that means you can do whatever it is we are talking about as a standard user. For the purposes of this tutorial it is assumed you are using Debian and are logging in as root from the jump. But if not,you need to type

and authenticate as root. This will remain enabled for five minutes before it will need you to reauthenticate. That’s why if you are in Debian I would just as soon log in as root until I was done configuring. Of course if you do it right this setup shouldn’t take more than that ;).

Also: For the lazy man,such as myself,the SSH client is your friend. Whenever I build a linux box from scratch the very first thing I do (if security permits) is

#apt-get install ssh

This requires absolutely no configuration on your part and all you have to do is use your favorite SSH client (I use PuTTY) and point it to your linux box (assuming it is online or at least connected to your network). To find your IP address you can just type in

#ifconfig

and it will come right up.

Just for reference,what is within the boxes below is the code you need to get the job done. You can cut and past everything into your SSH client for expediency and ease.

Alright sorry,without further delay…
