I wonder if we could launch a public campaign in the coming weeks to intice people leaving minexmr to join p2pool
-
garth
The best is if it could be coordinated with MineXMR themselves, where they have instructions how to do it right in a banner on their site
-
garth
But also Moneromining forums and irc
-
garth
How cool would it be to see a banner at the top of minexmr with a link on how to setup p2pool
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Minexmr has a link to p2pool on the announcement on their website

garth ofrnxmr[m] and everyone else If you have good suggestions on how to update "Get started" and "FAQ" tabs on p2pool.io write them here.

maybe put the video guide on top of the list and label it

Maybe add prune options to command line so people do not need so much disk space, advanced users can take them out if they wish

and take the ./ out from ./monerod this will kill new windows command line users

probably should normalize mining to remote nodes. its the same issue as running your own node for your wallet access. mebbe "normalize" is the wrong word.
-
kinghat[m]
the individuals, not bots, mining to minexmr which was centralizing hash and were not ever considering switching to p2pool, dont care about the monero project.
-
kinghat[m]
my point is, should we really care if they use p2pool and mine to a remote node? worst case, they take the lazy route, like they did to mine at minexmr in the first place, and google for remote nodes to connect to which will usually find more quality ones at the top.
-
kinghat[m]
as a hypothetical, if 100% of all the individual miners switched from minexmr to p2pool using remote nodes, should we care? hash is hash imo. as long as the proper disclaimers are in place 🤷♂️
-
kinghat[m]
* hash imo. especially if its now decentralize hash. as long
-
kinghat[m]
shit sorry about the edit.

I suppose a single remote node can't service so many miners, so they'll be forced to spread around
-
hyc
unless the node is pruned and has a couple hundred GB of RAM, then it would only be bandwidth limited
-

my server with 128GB RAM died and was decommissioned, unfortunately. the box with 256GB is still online but I gotta share it with other tasks

pauliouk
is there an issue with say 10 servers running p2pool nodes for hundreds/thousands of wallets?
-
pauliouk
if they have the resource to do so...
-

Why would we want to run p2pool nodes for hundreds of wallets?
-
sech1
p2pool nodes also limit connections to 1 per IP, so these hundreds of nodes on a single server will have problems connecting to other nodes
-
garth
Great ideas xmrvsbeast[m] especially relying on video vs commands and removing ./ for windows users
-
gonbatfire[m]
Yeah a Pruned node should be the default! less people would be scared
-
xmrvsbeast[m]
<kinghat[m]> "probably should normalize mining..." <- maybe we should reconsider enabling mining in simple mode, like if a user explicitly configures a p2pool compatible remote node in the GUI wallet then p2pool would work
-
xmrvsbeast[m]
-
xmrvsbeast[m]
maybe just display a warning stating that you should only mine on a trusted remote node otherwise you may experience issues with your rewards if the node is malicious
-
xmrvsbeast[m]
and do not provide any suggestions about finding public remote nodes
