### General Considerations ### General Considerations
- In order to mine on P2Pool, a synced Monero node using monerod v0.18.0.0 or newer is required. If you do not currently have one configured, you can find instructions to do so [here](https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-monero-node-advanced/). - In order to mine on P2Pool, a synced Monero node using monerod v0.18.0.0 or newer is required. If you don't currently have one, you can download the official Monero binaries, start `monerod` on your PC and wait until it's fully synced. Advanced Monero node setup instructions are [here](https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-monero-node-advanced/).
- It is highly recommended that you create a separate restricted user account for mining.

- Starting from P2Pool v1.7, you can add the `--mini` parameter to your P2Pool command to connect to the **p2pool-mini** sidechain.

If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine. - Check that ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889/37888 (P2Pool/P2Pool mini p2p port) are open in your firewall to ensure better connectivity.
