  A well-implemented P2Pool could scale up to the level of the bitcoin network, just needs some minor changes

  wowario what about get_block_template RPC API? Will it include private stealth key too?
• 21:13
  wowario
  haven't look at it

  wowario
  i assumed it wouldn't be needed since we are aiming for solo-miners

  but it is needed for solo mining with xmrig

  wowario
  keys are save locally
• 21:15
  wowario
  saved to file
• 21:15
  sech1
  so xmrig should just watch this file and reload when it changes?
• 21:16
  wowario
  when mining with wownerod, file updates automatically for each new block
• 21:17
  wowario
  public and private stealth keys are exported to stealth.keys
• 21:20

  inside create_block_template(), so RPC call should also create that file
• 21:21
  wowario
