<17lifers:mikuplushfarm.ovh> monero going to the MOOON when released

<monerobull:matrix.org> how cool is that

<monerobull:matrix.org> p2pool as a CDN

<monerobull:matrix.org> sech1: will this work if i run gupax on one machine that is connected to my "remote" node via LAN but isnt "truly local"?

yes

I meant "LAN" by local

well, it will work even with remote nodes but no point to submit the same block 100 times to the same node if you're using a public node

if i run p2pool nodes along side my none-mining monero nodes, is this helping the p2pool network?

helping blocks propagate quicker through the network*

Yes

P2Pool node will submit all Monero blocks to your node, and your node will be yet another origin of broadcast in the Monero network

<syntheticbird> new benevolent sybil attack just dropped

great, ive added 3 peers, do i need to open any p2p ports sech1?

Just the regular Monero/P2Pool ports

18080 for Monero

37889 for P2Pool if you're running P2Pool-main

but it will work even with closed ports

<monerobull:matrix.org> great thanks > <sech1> well, it will work even with remote nodes but no point to submit the same block 100 times to the same node if you're using a public node

<monerobull:matrix.org> so chainalysis will have to run p2pool sybils now > <sech1> P2Pool node will submit all Monero blocks to your node, and your node will be yet another origin of broadcast in the Monero network

They already do

<monerobull:matrix.org> kek

Need to track P2Pool data that is not saved in Monero blocks

<monerobull:matrix.org> what could possibly be so important for tracing in that data

Wallet addresses, source IPs for the shares they mine

<sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org> if you run a p2pool mini node for mining, does it make sense to also run p2pool main to help the network

Not really

Both will propagate all 3rd-party Monero blocks

But p2pool-main node will also submit p2ool-main blocks to your node faster, that's the only difference.

This is why I recommend centralized pools to run p2pool-main node, because they will get more blocks faster

They can in fact run all 3 nodes per Monero node, that won't hurt too

main, mini, nano node

<sneedlewoods> alright, thanks

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> so it's more private to mine on centralized pool... ;/ > <sech1> Wallet addresses, source IPs for the shares they mine

You can use tor with p2pool, and it was a warning from day 1 to use a separate wallet address for mining

you can have arbitrary wallet address, as many as needed

same as centralized pools, use a different wallet there

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> i already use new wallet for p2pool but tor introduces too much lag for mining I think?

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> stability is not perfect too

you still mine locally, it's only broadcasting solutions that are sent via tor

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> oh

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> anyone used p2pool+tor for longer duration? wonder how reliable it is

there's quite some connected doing that

note you open multiple outgoing connections so that doesn't depend on a single link

you also submit solutions to monero directly, and then other p2pool do the same

<matrix66616:matrix.org> @someguyxmr:matrix.org: can be reliable but you have to configure it correctly

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> any guide online ready to follow?

Just use any guide for installing tor, then run p2pool with "--socks5 127.0.0.1:9050 --no-dns" in the command line. And Monero node should ideally run on the same machine to avoid connecting to it through tor. Your lag will be 200-300 ms to the closest P2Pool peer

<matrix66616:matrix.org> tor

<matrix66616:matrix.org> monerod (Monero full node)

<matrix66616:matrix.org> p2pool (standard or mini version)

<matrix66616:matrix.org> xmrig (or another miner)

<matrix66616:matrix.org> Optional: Docker (to sandbox Tor or P2Pool)

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> is it easy for third-party to connect IP with mining shares / wallet?

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> I'm guessing it is

<someguyxmr:matrix.org> (without tor)

Relatively easy if they have a lot of nodes and connect to every P2Pool node

If you broadcast your P2Pool shares though tor, they will only know that this wallet address uses tor

And the IP that will be exposed is only the IP of your P2Pool node, not of your miners. So if you run it on a VPS in another country, that's a dead end for most adversaries

So you should be fine unless Interpol is looking for you :D

<matrix66616:matrix.org> do any of you use teleguard? i am following channels there

has anyone from Kraken been around to ask for help in solving their "withdrawal issues"?

is it related to monero-project/monero #10067 talked in #monero-dev?

interesting
