P2Pool is a decentralized peer-to-peer Bitcoin mining pool implemented in Python that runs alongside a local bitcoind node. It forms a network of miner nodes sharing work via a blockchain of shares, eliminating the need to trust a central pool operator.
Use cases
- mine bitcoin without trusting a centralized pool operator
- run a self-hosted decentralized mining pool
- reduce centralization risk of 51% attacks on bitcoin
- mine litecoin with scrypt support
- connect a miner to a local pool node on port 9332
When to choose
- you want trustless, decentralized pool mining with no pool operator
- you already run a full bitcoin node and want to support network decentralization
- you accept higher payout variance in exchange for censorship resistance
When to avoid
- you want steady, low-variance payouts from a managed pool
- you don't want to run and maintain a full node
- you need modern Python 3 support or active feature development
