selsta, is openpgm really needed for libzmq? Can I build libzmq w/o openpgm? Openpgm is only optional dependency.

And maybe I should use WITH_RANDOMX=NO in p2pool? Monerod is installed.

For p2pool flags (aka --no-randomx)?

That only works if you plan you use xmrig. Need randomx enabled on p2pool for p2pool to use the built in miner

P2pool does the mining itself.

Without randomx, it cant do the hashing.

If you use --no-randomx, the verification is handled by the node and the hashing is handled by an external miner (xmrig)

With Randomx, p2pool does the verification and can do the mining as well.

sech1: please confirm when youre available

yes

sech1: why does p2pool make its own block template rather than ask the daemon ?

(unless I missed a way to, I just tried it yesterday and did not see that RPC called)

Because daemon only creates templates for solo mining

And p2pool tracks new transactions using ZMQ and updates the template using its own logic for choosing transactions to mine

Oh, and also p2pool inserts its own tag into tx_extra. In any case, building template locally gives much more flexibility and independence from monerod-side updates

BigmenPixel[m]: I don't know, you'd have to try removing it and see if everything still compiles.

selsta: If it compiles, is it safe to not use libzmq anymore?

do you mean openpgm? because libzmq is required

selsta: Oops, yes.

tobtoht[m]: do you know if we use openpgm?

selsta: it's not in depends so i'd assume no

was it removed from depends? i remember the name from somewhere

BigmenPixel[m]: removing it should work

selsta: It's written in dependencies in monero-project/monero.

* It's written in the dependencies in monero-project/monero.

selsta: Thanks, I will try.

selsta: not in my recent PR. It's here github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L1191

Looks like we build zeromq without the pgm extension in depends so it's not needed.

tobtoht[m]: Did it need when it was added to the dependencies? 🤔

BigmenPixel: depends refers to github.com/monero-project/monero/tree/master/contrib/depends

You don't need it for zeromq. Official releases don't use it either.
