P2Pool v2.4

P2Pool v2.4

Changes:

• Added SOCKS5 proxy support
• Added --no-dns command line parameter to disable DNS queries
• Faster initial syncing (P2Pool now selects a peer with lowest ping to sync from)
• Fixed incorrect incoming connection counter in some cases
• Fixed aarch64 build incompatibility with some older OS
• A few other small bugfixes

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 Monero daemon v0.18.0.0 or newer: ./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --disable-dns-checkpoints --enable-dns-blocklist
• 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)

P2Pool v1.9

P2Pool v1.9

Critical bug fixed in this version, see below

Changes:
