P2Pool V2

Rebooting P2Pool

1. Share chain with uncles - all your work is accounted for.

2. Pay large miners in coinbase - non custodial solution for top N miners.

3. Support transactions - pay all miners with atomic swaps by market makers.

4. Market makers buy shares from smaller miners - earning virgin coins.
