07:00:16 <mechanic41turk[m> Nice that p2pool is up by one among the largest mining pools in xmr, and is currently at rank 4.
16:22:36 <gingeropolous> any opinions on how long p2pool should be "beta tested" in its current standalone form before being potentially integrated into monerod itself?
16:23:20 <hyc> as sech1 already said, integration into monerod would be a major rewrite
16:23:38 <hyc> I think the current --no-randomx support is sufficient integration
16:24:51 <hyc> the flexibility of being able to run it separately from monerod is a plus, I think. you can use it with a remote monerod if you want.
16:24:59 <sech1> it's designed to be a standalone tool
16:32:01 <gingeropolous> hrm. well, im thinking it would be awesome for noobs to be able to launch mining from perhaps the GUI (so i guess standalone is fine), and some magic happens where p2pool scans the monero network
16:32:12 <gingeropolous> and we're at a point now where p2pool nodes are being advertised over the monero p2pool protocol
16:32:20 <gingeropolous> much like rpc service is advertised
16:32:41 <gingeropolous> and then the software can automagically decide which pool to join based on ping etc etc
16:32:51 <gingeropolous> so we get that organic geographical node cluster thing goin on
16:33:24 <gingeropolous> er, the monero p2p protocol
16:33:36 <gingeropolous> peerlist system i guess
16:34:18 <gingeropolous> and the software could automagically determine which pool to join based on the users available hashpower, such that it would join a pool where it is likely to gain a share
16:35:23 <gingeropolous> so the user doesn't end up with a 500 h/s machine connecting to a 500 Mh/s p2pool where they are less likely to get in a window
16:35:55 <gingeropolous> yeah, i guess GUI integration is more what im thinkin
16:36:05 <gingeropolous> i need to learn how to do gui stuff
16:36:40 <gingeropolous> although the automagic stuff probably isn't gui code
17:32:00 <mechanic41turk[m> <hyc> "the flexibility of being able to..." <- In my case I am valueing the flexibility of being able to run xmrig separately from monerod and p2pool.
17:32:17 <mechanic41turk[m> I am OK to have monerod and p2pool on the same raspberry pi 4.
17:32:39 <mechanic41turk[m> While running xmrig on different computers in the house network.
17:38:53 <pauliouk> hmm, could probably make p2pool a GUI app
17:39:07 <pauliouk> just needs the GUI built on top of the current code base
22:18:29 <xmrvsbeast[m]> <gingeropolous> "yeah, i guess GUI integration is..." <- what you are taking about is the ultimate noob mining solution, it is a great idea but sounds like a huge effort
22:21:21 <xmrvsbeast[m]> it is comparable to cli vs gui wallet, cli is better for power users but we would see no adoption without GUI
22:30:35 <xmrvsbeast[m]> I hope someone with the skill takes interest in this, I am sure the funding would flow ;)
