00:41:28 <pauliouk> probably get some kick-backs from them 
00:43:09 <merope> <gingeropolous[m]> "and im sure they're point at..." <- Running p2pool means exposing yourself more, because you have to point the miners to an ip address directly associated with you
00:43:45 <pauliouk> nah, just launch it on a 'borrowed' server somewhere
00:44:23 <merope> Sure, but keep in mind that you need a node along that p2pool
00:45:16 <merope> Which means at least 50-60GB of storage (for the pruned chain + 0.5GB for p2pool + the OS), a few gigs of ram, and quite some time to sync up
00:45:45 <pauliouk> no biggy, I'm sure if they can fire out a botnet to scan/pwn machines autonomously they can hide some resources in a borrowed VPS somewhere
00:45:52 <pauliouk> could just use a public monerod
00:46:01 <merope> or at least a very fast connection, if you're directly uploading a pre-synced copy of the chain from somewhere else - but even that might be fingerprintable
00:46:03 <pauliouk> might lose the odd share, but if its free hashrate
00:46:16 <merope> pauliouk: nope, you need unrestricted RPC access and the ZMQ port
00:46:30 <merope> neither of which are offered by public nodes
00:46:32 <pauliouk> theres 2 official monerod hosts with that :P
09:16:39 <jaska087> only --no-randomx requires unrestricted accees to monerod
