This fork is a work in progress, trying to achieve the bounty A fork of GUPAX integrating the XMRvsBeast Bonus Hashrate Raffle for P2Pool Miners.
It is not yet ready for stable release. It works in theory but not yet tested enough. Please feel free to test the beta release and open an issue if you encounter an anomaly.

- Input your Monero address in the
P2Pooltab - Register your same address on XMRvsBeast

- Start P2Pool

- Start XvB
Gupaxx will distribute your hashrate between P2Pool and XMRvsBeast as defined here by the algorithm.
The algorithm will decide which quantity of HR will be directed to P2pool and to XMRvsBeast, so that you still keep a share in the PPLNS Window. It will send by default just enough to get to the highest round or, if hero mode is enabled, everything minus minimum required to still have a share in the PPLNS Window.
XvB Tab
Console of XvB
The output of console will show useful information on the status of the XvB process and the decision of the algorithm for every 10 minutes.
Token input
You need to put the token received when you registered your XMR payout address.
Private stats
Private information about your address on XMRvsBeast can be found here after the process is started with your token provided.
XvB Raffle Status
Gupaxx add a new column XvB Raffle on the Status Tab in the Process submenu. It displays public statistics of XMRvsBeast, which are available here It is refreshed every minute. This column will be active if the XvB process is started even partially, it doesn't need the token to be provided.
Other changes
This fork brings upgrades of dependence and some bugfixes about visual, performance and security that you can find in DIFFERENCES.
I will eventually (meaning when I'll have time) create pull requests for upstream about these differences.
