  <t​orir:matrix.org> Seems they got tired of the conversation ignoring them. They don't appear to have been banned.

  <s​haver:midov.pl> hi guys, just wondering if this is normal
• 05:07
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> yes, your monerod daemon is not mining
• 05:24
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> then why does it say that i'm mining in the Advanced menu?
• 05:25
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> Also, when I stop and start mining, I can actually hear the difference in my computer fans.
• 05:25
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> so then what is it doing?
• 05:41
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> You are mining with a mining program (xmrig). Via p2pool.
• 05:41
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> P2pool interface with monerod but monerod is **not mining** as you likely use xmrig for that.
• 05:42
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> [@shaver:midov.pl](https://matrix.to/#/@shaver:midov.pl) monerod is the daemon that allow all your monero related thing to use the monero network.
• 05:43
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Fan ramping up is normal while you are mining
• 05:46
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> oh so i didn't know that there's these separate protocols for mining? 🤔
• 05:46
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> so basically, I am mining, but with xmrig
• 05:46
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> That status is just telling me that I am not mining using monerod
• 05:46
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> correct?
• 05:47
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Correct. Different programs for different tasks. While monerod can mine, its not the best for that purpose.
• 05:49
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> Ok.
• 05:49
  m-relay
  <s​haver:midov.pl> Thanks for the explanation 👍️
• 05:49
  m-relay
  <r​avfx:xmr.mx> Monerod is what connect you to the monero network
