01:28:04 <garth> I wonder if we could launch a public campaign in the coming weeks to intice people leaving minexmr to join p2pool
01:29:11 <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 
01:29:37 <garth> But also Moneromining forums and irc
01:30:39 <garth> How cool would it be to see a banner at the top of minexmr with a link on how to setup p2pool
01:36:28 <ofrnxmr[m]> Minexmr has a link to p2pool on the announcement on their website 
06:44:55 <sech1> 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.
08:27:14 <xmrvsbeast[m]> maybe put the video guide on top of the list and label it 
08:27:14 <xmrvsbeast[m]> Monero GUI Wallet P2Pool Mining Guide for Beginners (No command line experience)
08:27:59 <xmrvsbeast[m]> so new people will not be scared off when they see: ./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083..........

08:36:14 <xmrvsbeast[m]> 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
08:37:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> #Official Setup:... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/f6043b216cf93f5275c5ef374ca0a23cd68586a6)
08:37:55 <xmrvsbeast[m]> and take the ./ out from ./monerod this will kill new windows command line users
15:34:32 <kinghat[m]> 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.
16:12:30 <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.
16:14:50 <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.
16:17:02 <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 🤷‍♂️
16:17:56 <kinghat[m]> * hash imo. especially if its now decentralize hash. as long
16:18:15 <kinghat[m]> shit sorry about the edit.
19:04:07 <hyc> I suppose a single remote node can't service so many miners, so they'll be forced to spread around
19:04:40 <hyc> unless the node is pruned and has a couple hundred GB of RAM, then it would only be bandwidth limited
19:05:38 <hyc> 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
19:19:38 <pauliouk> is there an issue with say 10 servers running p2pool nodes for hundreds/thousands of wallets?
19:20:11 <pauliouk> if they have the resource to do so...
19:54:50 <sech1> Why would we want to run p2pool nodes for hundreds of wallets?
19:56:16 <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
21:32:29 <garth> Great ideas xmrvsbeast[m] especially relying on video vs commands and removing ./ for windows users
21:53:28 <gonbatfire[m]> Yeah a Pruned node should be the default! less people would be scared
23:31:30 <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
23:39:24 <xmrvsbeast[m]> https://bounties.monero.social/posts/67/p2pool-mining-in-monero-gui-wallet-via-remote-node
23:39:24 <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
23:40:25 <xmrvsbeast[m]> and do not provide any suggestions about finding public remote nodes
