**General Considerations**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Create a separate restricted user account for mining. p2pool is relatively new and may still have serious bugs/vulnerabilities!
|
||||||
|
- You have to use the primary wallet address for mining. Subaddresses and integrated addresses are not supported, just like with monerod solo mining.
|
||||||
|
- Check that ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889 (p2pool p2p port) are open in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine.
|
||||||
|
- You can connect multiple miners to the same p2pool node. The more the better!

### Windows
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*NOTE: Windows SmartScreen may block incoming connections by files that are "Downloaded from the Internet". You can allow 'p2pool.exe' and 'monerod.exe' by double-clicking them, clicking "More Info", then click "Run Anyway" and then closing them immediately so you can run them from the command line. Advanced users can use the PowerShell cmdlet `Unblock-File` to remove this flag.*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Download p2pool binaries from https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/releases/latest
|
||||||
|
- Download xmrig binary from https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest *(xmrig-6.15.0-gcc-win64.zip is the current version)*
|
||||||
|
- Expand the p2pool binaries into an appropriate location (`%USERPROFILE%/bin` or `C:/bin/` are good options)
|
||||||
|
- Expand xmrig binary into appropriate location (same folder as p2pool is fine)
|
||||||
|
- Prepare huge pages (each of monerod/p2pool/xmrig needs them):
|
||||||
|
- On Windows 10 or above, run xmrig at least once as Administrator (right-click Run As Administrator)
|
||||||
|
- On earlier versions of Windows, you'll need to run it as admin at least once per login.
|
||||||
|
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted p2pool.
|
||||||
|
- *When running these commands, Windows Firewall may prompt to allow connections, click "Allow"*
|
||||||
|
- Run `.\Monero\monerod.exe --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083` *NOTE: don't forget --zmq-pub parameter in the command line*
|
||||||
|
- Double check that it shows **Monero 'Oxygen Orion' (v0.17.2.3-7dbb0d1fc)** on startup. Wait until it's synchronized.
|
||||||
|
- Run `.\p2pool.exe --host 127.0.0.1 --wallet YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`
|
||||||
|
- Wait until initial p2pool sync is finished, it shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes, once completed xmrig should be able to connect to the stratum server on port 3333.
|
||||||
|
- Run `.\xmrig.exe -o 127.0.0.1:3333`. Note that you don't need to specify wallet address for xmrig. **Wallet address set in xmrig config will be ignored!**
|
||||||
|
- To set custom fixed difficulty for your miner (for example, 10000), run `xmrig.exe -u x+10000 -o 127.0.0.1:3333`
|
||||||
|
- Windows Quickstart: Create a batch (.bat) file with the following contents and place it in your p2pool directory along with xmrig.exe.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
start cmd /k .\Monero\monerod.exe --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083
|
||||||
|
start cmd /k .\p2pool.exe --wallet YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS
|
||||||
|
start cmd /k .\xmrig.exe -u x+30000 -o 127.0.0.1
|
||||||
