P2Pool v1.2

Changes in this release:

  • Mined blocks are submitted to monerod as soon as possible (1-3 ms faster compared to previous versions) to reduce orphan rate
  • Reduced overall memory usage after running for a long time
  • Fixed possible sidechain split during RandomX epoch change
  • Improved peer list logic, inactive peers are now automatically removed from p2pool_peers.txt
  • Added --no-cache command line parameter to reduce memory usage if cache is not needed
  • Detects more cases when p2pool is misconfigured and shows appropriate errors in log
  • API for stratum server statistics. Users can pass --stratum-api to command line to enable a file called local/stats in --data-api directory. local/stats contains statistics that StratumServer status provides but in JSON format. It is currently setup that local/stats is updated each time a new job is sent to a worker.
  • A few other small bugfixes

Wallets with confirmed P2Pool support:

  • Official Monero CLI and GUI v0.17.2.3 and newer
  • Monerujo v2.1.0 "Vertant" and newer
  • Cake Wallet v4.2.7 and newer
  • MyMonero

Other wallets might not see P2Pool payouts if they're not updated. Before you start mining, create a new wallet and don't use it for anything else but mining for privacy reasons - all wallet addresses are public on P2Pool! Only primary wallet address is supported - no subaddresses or integrated addresses.

Usage:

  • Run monerod binary from the archive: ./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist
  • Wait until it's synchronized
  • Run p2pool: ./p2pool --host 127.0.0.1 --wallet YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS
  • Start mining to port 3333 on your machine: ./xmrig -o 127.0.0.1:3333
  • You can set custom difficulty for your miner to get more accurate stats on P2Pool side: ./xmrig -o 127.0.0.1:3333 -u x+50000 (it doesn't affect mining rewards in any way)

GPG key to verify SHA256 sums can be downloaded from github or p2pool.io
