p2pool V36 with merged mining (LTC+DOGE) — running on mainnet

[frstrtr]

While c2pool C++ development continues, the Python p2pool codebase now has V36 shares with merged mining running on Litecoin mainnet.

What's live

• V36 share format — extends V35 with pubkey_type (native P2SH/bech32) and AuxPoW commitment fields
• Merged mining — LTC + DOGE on the same decentralized share chain, PPLNS consensus for both chains
• MM-Adapter bridge — works with stock Dogecoin Core via createauxblock/submitauxblock
• Multiaddress coinbase — miners specify both LTC and DOGE payout addresses via stratum
• Share redistribution — --redistribute boost mode helps tiny miners get their first payout

Two nodes operational, transition signaling active.

This is the Python implementation. The V36 protocol design and merged mining architecture documented here will inform the c2pool C++ port when the time comes.
