Notes for WhirlCoin:

Currently Experimental!

In order to run P2Pool and other Python based pools with the WhirlCoin network, you would need to build and install the whirlpool_hash module for Python that includes the whirlpool-256 proof of work code that WhirlCoin uses for hashes.

Linux:

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:

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