P2Pool v4.12 released with full Tor support

SChernykh1 has released P2Pool2 version 4.123 with full support for Tor4, various improvements and bugfixes:

Changes overview

* [Feat] TOR is fully supported now
* [Feat] Wallet address: added checks for FCMP++ compatibility
* [Improvement] Speed up crypto derivations with vartime ops (faster sync times)
* [Improvement] De-duplicate tx hashes and pub keys (saves memory, off by default)
* [Fix] Fixed a crash at startup on Windows when using some DNS servers

The full list of changes since v4.11 is available on Github5.

Before using the software, you should verify the SHA256 sums with SChernykh’s GPG key6.

The README7 has valuable information about features, defaults, how pool shares work, build instructions and a short mining guide. If you need assistance, read the FAQ8 and join the project’s IRC channels9.

Note that it is strongly recommended to synchronize your system clock before you start mining; create a new wallet and don’t use it for anything else but mining for privacy reasons - all wallet addresses are public on P2Pool!
