is there no easy way to start monerod and have it listen for remote rpc calls?

and shouldn't that info be easily accessible directly or indirectly from this page? getmonero.org/get-started/contributing

private remote node has no details here: getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/remote-node.html

I see --rpc-bind-ip but i'm shocked it cannot detect the ip as an option

and then it seems zmq ip has to be set separately also o

what do you mean "detect the ip"?

you can bind it to 0.0.0.0 and it will listen on all interfaces

if you want specific ip to listen on, put it instead of 0.0.0.0. monerod doesn't have to guess for you because there can be multiple interfaces and ip addresses on your system

sech1 well that's what i mean, you have to set it. instead of there being an allow remote rpc option

zmq & rpc all in one, since p2pool seems to require both

zmq and rpc are different interfaces

so they have different command line parameters

migrated monerod to an older mbp specifically b/c of that issue and p2pool isn't getting zmq updates still

sigh..... goes to move to linux laptop...
