• strip src/groestlcoind src/groestlcoin-cli src/groestlcoin-tx src/groestlcoin-wallet src/groestlcoin-util
• sudo mv src/groestlcoind src/groestlcoin-cli src/groestlcoin-tx src/groestlcoin-wallet src/groestlcoin-util /usr/bin
• mkdir ~/.groestlcoin
• nano ~/.groestlcoin/groestlcoin.conf
• write:
  listen=1
  server=1
  maxconnections=863
  daemon=1
  txindex=1
  blockfilterindex=1
  coinstatsindex=1
  rpcuser=yourusernamehere
  rpcpassword=yourpasswordhere

• Crtl+o enter, ctrl X
• groestlcoind -testnet
• Let it sync (can take up to 2 hours), verify with groestlcoin-cli -getinfo
• git clone https://github.com/Groestlcoin/p2pool

• ./run_p2pool.py --net groestlcoin --testnet --address YourPoolGrsAddressHere --give-author 0
• Check if all is ok on http://YourIPAddressHere:21330/static/

If you get: p2pool is not connected to any peers than change PERSIST = True to PERSIST = False in file p2pool\networks\groestlcoin_testnet.py
