P2Pool v4.10 released with new features, fixes

SChernykh1 has released P2Pool2 version 4.103 with key improvements and fixes:

[Recommended update] This will significantly reduce Monero block propagation times for all pools, not just P2Pool. Centralized pools are also recommended to run P2Pool nodes to receive and broadcast new blocks faster (one P2Pool-main node per Monero node).

Changes overview

* Broadcast all new Monero blocks through p2pool network for faster propagation
* Added --full-validation command line option to validate all Stratum shares
* [Bugfix] Get missing Monero blocks in a thread-safe way

The full list of changes since v4.9.1 is available on Github4.

Before using the software, you should verify the SHA256 sums with SChernykh’s GPG key5.

The README6 has valuable information about features, defaults, how pool shares work, build instructions and a short mining guide. If you need assistance, read the FAQ7 and join the project’s IRC channels8.

Note that it is strongly recommended to synchronize your system clock before you start mining.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.
