The last Release is built for OSX 10.15 and cannot be used on 10.13.
when I build it myself from the source I have an error "couldn't allocate RandomX cache, aborting. Abort trap: 6"
what does it correspond to?

Hi,
i am Mining like solo because not found any reward share since 20 Hrs with 14k speed. I restarted all binaries but nothing happened since 2 hours. Please advise.

Apart from the 3333 connection port, how to open multiple ports

Hi, I've tried to compile monerod on multiple Linux distros but no success.
I got this:

my environment is:
Raspberry pi4 8Gb
Os gentoo linux
All the packages required are installed

I compiled the code with:
make -j4
and I also tried as test
make release-static-linux-armv8
without errors.
the issue faces when I start the monero deamon:

2021-10-23 13:08:07.401 I Monero 'Oxygen Orion' (v0.17.2.3-7dbb0d1fc)

I also tried the options -DAES_NO=ON, MONERO_USE_SOFTWARE_AES=1 and MONERO_RANDOMX_UMASK=8 with same Illegal instruction error.
After that, I tested the official monero version, master and also release-v0.17, and eithers run fine beginning the db sync.
How can I resolve the issue?

Please help !

`

It seems that the current implementation does not let the user run p2pool with a monerod rpc which has restricted access by password / login. Would be very useful (at least for me)...

Hello,

I propose to add the option like the "--detach" in monerod to run p2pool in background. This is useful for the headless machines to avoid dependency on the ssh session.

Actually, I am using "screen" function to run p2pool in background.

Best regards,

Jef

I am trying to run two instance of monerod: One for mining with p2pool, another to give myself access to my node.

The instance for mining is run on 127.0.0.1 so that it is only visible for the p2pool program running on that machine: ./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083
The second instance is set to be exposed to the local network so that I can send query to it from e.g. monerujo: ./monerod --confirm-external-bind --rpc-bind-ip=192.168.1.101 --rpc-login [my login]/]my password] --rpc-bind-port 19081 --data-dir /home/[myuser]/.bitmonero --p2p-bind-port 19080 --no-zmq

Note that read/write access are properly set and that both instances are run on two different linux users.

When running p2pool --host 127.0.0.1 --rpc-port 18081 -zmq-port 18083 --stratum 192.168.1.101:3333 --p2p 127.0.0.1:37889 --wallet [my wallet]

I get several errors that appear time to time on the monero nodes:
Example:
2021-10-01 00:48:35.146 E failed to find transaction input in key images. img=<8a6829a3fc003429a770cf88e6222cd5a0af5bd2d9a88f4b37533d5d103a6c17>
2021-10-01 00:48:35.146 E transaction id =

And also:
2021-10-01 00:48:41.486 E Transaction not found in pool

When this happens I also get errors in p2pool console and logfile. Sorry I erased the logs so I do not have the exact error, but it is related to the synchronisation: p2pool is not able to update the block height and stay stuck at some height lower than what is reported by monerod.

The only way to get back to a proper functioning of p2pool is to:

• delete p2pool.cache
• stop the monero node exposed to the local network

Hey i realy like the project and would like to help/contribute.
Is there a short guide how to contribute or a list of TODOs?
I could help refactoring the code in some places.

Hi,
I am syncing monerod through powershell command and completed about 85% then it starts giving below error.
"Failed to get top block hash to check for new block's parent: MDB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found" as well as its blocking all peers one by one.
Please advise to solve it.

I understand the fact that it was mentioned that it's strongly recommended to run p2pool under its own user due to the fact that it might have vulnerabilities which can be exploited but, even so, I still went ahead and tried running it under the root user on my arch linux installation.
The executable would just stop immediately afterwards and not do anything, not even a single line in the log about why it wouldn't proceed. No errors and no warnings whatsoever.
It took me a day to figure out that maybe I should create a non-root user and try it over there.
Seriously, this was truly annoying. This type of stuff should be mentioned outright from the start.

Hi,

I am trying to write a script that notifies me whenever my node finds a new share, but it appears that the JSON API enabled with --data-api does not expose information about shares.
Specifically, I would like the values of the "Your shares", "Your shares position" and "Block reward share" lines in the status output to be accessible in some way.

Since I run p2pool in docker, this would also allow me to access that info without first attaching to the container (and sometimes accidentally killing it instead of detaching).

Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your efforts to make this pool open for all who dont want to pay pool fee in other pools but This is important to satisfy all. Everyone need to know who is getting what from this pool?

As mentioned I am noob and


wonder that all other pools specially 2miners.com shows detailed miner stats but I dont see anything about reward distribution and miner statics on p2pool website. Why should I check p2pool logs to find details if stats are available on pool website. P2pool should include below in pool website.

1- All Miners with their Incomplete Wallet Address like 2miners.com
2- All miners with their hashrate and shares they got from the mined blocks.

Hello,

Environment:
P2Pool version monerod fully synced
Ubuntu 20.04

Issue:
Using monero-wallet-cli (latest version) to send produces the "Error: failed to get random outputs to mix: failed to get random outs".

I saw another post on reddit explaining local node has no cap, but i still get the same error.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6w68ze/please_help_error_failed_to_get_random_outputs_to/

I know this is due to tiny dust amounts in my wallet, but is there a way to not accumulate dust balances?

My current solution is to group dust transactions into small amounts and combine them into bigger amount. This will be more inconvenient in the future as the dust payouts will get even smaller.

Thanks

Hi there
As I understood from README of this repo the setup structure of P2Pool is Monero node + P2Pool node + miner.

• Can I use any public remote node with open port 18081 to P2Pool connecting?
• For multiply workers with the same wallet address would it be better to split in few remote nodes or it does not matter since pool is decentralized?
  Thank you

Hello,

I have followed the information to install the whole system on an Ubuntu 20.04 test rig as documented in the README.md. Everything is running for a few days and seems working ok, however, the wallet balance remains to 0.00000....

I am using the wallet-cli provided in the monerod 'Oxygen Orion' (v0.17.2.3-9c82593b5) package and created a new primary "41iVXmvSC..." key for this purpose

Monerod is synchronised, however I have some network errors :

I understand that this rig is probably solo mining. Any clue to investigate further ?

Thanks for this great project and for your help.

Best regards,

Thank you for your work!

I have been running p2pool in sethsimmons docker of this repository, as I am running on Unraid. It appears with Unraid specifically the color codes in the output cause issues (as documented in the XMRig docker), and I was hoping it would be possible to add an option to toggle the colors off for the text output? I have no idea how difficult this might be. Otherwise the output just looks like this:

[0;36m2021-10-27 01:23:52.0455�[0m �[0;90mSideChain �[0madd_block: height = 474611, id = 2580549ebf9e7d83d4e5aa48b804414f059a6236626f4bcc9b9223a80c600a1b, mainchain height = 2479830, verified = 0�[0m

In order to simplify setups, it would be very nice if we could specify the host via DNS.

Not only does this simplify using your own remote node, it also greatly simplifies any Docker setup as you can simply connect p2pool and monerod via container name no matter what IP address it gets.

As an example, if --host allowed DNS resolution, the following compose file would be all you need to spin up monerod and p2pool with almost no other configuration:

Thanks in advance!

Hello SChernykh,

im back. 2 Questions

1. What is the recommended specification to run a p2pool + server.
   CPU cores ? RAM size?

2. I read somewhere you said its possible to run p2pool and monerod node on different systems, how would this work?
   Would the miners point to the p2pool IP or the monerod node IP?

Thanks

Hi,
Everything builds ok now, but p2Pool causes my Mac to lag out to the point of hardly being usable. Also then with XMRIG run too it only ever shows 'No results' when I press S key.

Is there some sort of diagnostic file I can send you?

Hi,
It would be better if you post a detailed guide setting up P2Pool on Windows from download binaries to setting up and then monitor. We don't know how to build and set up. Moreover, will appreciate if provide hints on setting up custom diff on xmrig and xmrig proxy. Thanks

I had to patch CMakeLists.txt to accept the cmake version installed.

Hey there,

Trying to get p2pool spun up, but for some reason it does not bind any p2p or stratum ports, despite me clearly specifying them.

Attempted command line options:

./p2pool --wallet MoneroAddress --rpc-port 18085 --stratum 0.0.0.0:3333 --p2p 0.0.0.0:37889

./p2pool --wallet MoneroAddress --rpc-port 18085 --stratum "0.0.0.0:3333" --p2p "0.0.0.0:37889"

Netstat shows no p2p or stratum ports bound:

Hello! Just curious if this would work with a pruned blockchain?

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm on Mac OSX and the Start of P2Pool I have the following error

Is this linked to Huge Pages? I see "Prepare enough huge pages : sudo sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=3072" in the README.md but I don't know how.
The command "sudo sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=3072" give me -> "sysctl: unknown oid 'vm.nr_hugepages' "
Thanks for your help

Hey, just a little issue here, i have correctly setup p2pool and monero daemon on my laptop and now i want to mine from another computer on the same network, but when i do:

sudo ./xmrig -o 127.0.0.1:3333

It works on the laptop i'm running the node/p2pool but it doesn't work from my other computers on the same network, could you help me?

in the "How to test" section of the file, it is stated :

Check that ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889 (p2pool p2p port) are open in your firewall to ensure better connectivity

later in the code example :

Run ./monerod --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 don't forget --zmq-pub parameter in the command line

I propose to align the port numbers on the same value.

Best regards,

thanks!

Hello,
I've tried disabling firewalls and also tested telnet connection to port 3333 and it works... not sure why I'm getting this error. Anyone seen this before?

Cmake says "-- Configuring done

Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

I would appreciate if there would be a list of things to do for people who would be willing to contribute :)
I think there would be much more contributions, if people would know what the Creator wants to be done. ^^

Hi I get an RandomX_Hasher couldn't allocate RandomX VM error on Mac.

I need some support for mining in the pool. I already followed the Windows instructions and I have the Monerod.exe, p2pool.exe, and XMRig running. Looks like I am mining (I have mined with XMRig in other pools before. However I don't get any Monero. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I have attached a screenshot of my PC. If someone can give support will be very appreciated.

Hello. @ 1st, thanks for this project!
I began mining and suddenly noticed that not all blocks were registered and payed out. For ex this block @ height 2480250 doesn't exist in https://p2pool.observer/ 's stats, but does here: https://p2pool.io/#blocks


As you can see the block '2480250' doesn't exist nor at global stats nor at my address page:

So @ 1st I pressed F5 and still couldn't see any changes. Then I checked my balance out, same sh...t.
It's so strange because I had a share of that block and it was really mined and wasn't marked as orphan or uncle:

Hello,

Im moving from monero pool to p2pool, the instructions for setup works good. Thanks!

Ran into a problem with low hashrate.

• My hashrate on monero pool is around 43-44kh, very stable. (14.5kh per miner)
• Ran p2pool on my node for about 24hours non stop, only getting around 32.44KH (shown above)

The current difficulty setting is left default :
[2021-09-26 00:26:53.881] net new job from 192.168.1.121:3333 diff 748M algo rx/0 height 2457686

Is the low hashrate a result of low difficulty target?

Any tips on calculating what difficulty to set?

thanks!

I am running Seth's docker containers as per his guide and have this morning updated the docker images to the latest available and restarted both the monero and the p2pool containers.

Unfortunately now it seems that p2pool starts and then just stops. Last message in the p2pool log says:

P2Pool get_miner_data RPC response is invalid, skipping it 

Xmrig can't connect to p2pool and asking for a status from p2pool shows:

Monerod seems to be running ok, syncing with the monero network and monero cli wallets connected to the node work as expected.

What else can I do to trouble shoot?

Hi!

trying to build the fork against the boost 1.77 is currently yielding the following

#37 21.49 /src/src/common/i18n.cpp: In function 'std::string i18n_get_language()':
#37 21.49 /src/src/common/i18n.cpp:74:8: error: 'transform' is not a member of 'std'

#37 21.49       |        ^~~~~~~~~

mj recently provided a fix for it though: monero-project/monero#7902

I believe that if we rebase the fork with release-v0.17 we should be good (latest commit there seems to be from 10 days ago, fix is 7 ago)

thanks!

Several times when I look at the p2pool.observer, my hash rate is showing zero, but then I check my monerod, p2pool and workers, and all are working fine. I can see on the logs the jobs been allocated and the hash rate of the workers.

Also I checked and my IP isn't banned. Any ideas?

I saw in the build instructions for ubuntu it is mentioned to install libuv, libsodium etc via the package installer.
I asked myself why this is the case, because those libs are in the project as submodule.

I am running into two errors when issuing the command: monerod.exe --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083

2021-09-20 19:54:20.936 F Error starting server: Failed to bind IPv4 (set to required)
2021-09-20 19:54:20.948 E Exception in main! Failed to initialize p2p server.

Any suggestions on fixing this?

Now, We must change the config.json.

question: \xmrig.exe -u -o 127.0.0.1 cannot run well

We need to set pools.url as '127.0.0.1:333' in config.json (I use xrmig 6.15.2)

I think we need to tell everyone in README

In the current implementation, p2pool will provide jobs immediately on startup to stratum clients, even if it is still syncing with the side-chain. This causes clients to get job spam and false shares to be "found" and logged with a diff of 100000 or 111111.

It would be ideal if p2pool paused job sending to stratum clients until fully synced with highest known side-chain height.

Example false shares found while p2pool was starting/syncing/verifying blocks:

Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks

I have been running p2pool for a few days now, mining with 20-25khs and i realized I used the pool wallet for this line here. "/p2pool --host 127.0.0.1 --rpc-port 18081 --zmq-port 18083 --wallet YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS --stratum 0.0.0.0:3333 --p2p 0.0.0.0:37889 --addpeers 65.21.227.114:37889"

My question is how do you allow other people to mine on your node? I was hoping to this up for my friends and me. I originally put it in the pool wallet but all the funds just went there regardless of XMRIG's wallet.

Anything I should look into?

Thanks!

Then why all rewards are going to one wallet?

Solution: so recompiling did the trick :D

Hi everyone,

I'm getting this message P2Pool monerod RPC v3.5 is incompatible, update to RPC >= v3.8 when runing ./p2pool --host 127.0.0.1 --wallet [here I input my main address] and right after the p2pool process stops.

I also noticed that when the p2pool process reports that RPC message, monerod reports back monerod[actual PID of the program]: 2021-09-14 18:20:59.395 E Invalid ZMQ/Sub message monerod[actual PID of the program]: 2021-09-14 18:20:59.397 E Invalid ZMQ/Sub message (yeah, twice).

I'm following the readme steps (build p2pool and monero with all its utilities).

Any clue on how I can do such an update?

Some information regarding my setup:

• The node is synched and I can see my balance with monero-cli-wallet
• I run the node with (I can use the node for transactions without a problem): monerod --rpc-bind-ip 0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port 18081 --confirm-external-bind --zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083 --data-dir [the proper uri for my datadir] --non-interactive
• From the output of monerod --version it says I'm running on Monero 'Oxygen Orion' (v0.17.2.3-04bfd948a)
• The OS is Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS (Focal Fossa) and Linux Kernel is 5.4.0-84-generic

Here is what I've tried so far:
Using an RCP call to check if there are monerod updates curl http://127.0.0.1:18081/update -d '{"command":"check"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' it returns:

{
  "auto_uri": "",
  "hash": "",
  "path": "",
  "status": "OK",
  "untrusted": false,
  "update": false,
  "user_uri": "",
  "version": ""
}

Also tried forcing the download of a newer version with curl http://127.0.0.1:18081/update -d '{"command":"download"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' but I get the exact same output as before, I understand if a new version is available it should be shown as a value in the key "version" (from the monero docs about daemon rpc calls)

Maybe this is way too noob but did not know where to ask.

Hi, I need to know what is an ideal difficulty setting for 1Kh/S ?

I keep seeing this error after a block is found, is this something to be concerned about?

P2Pool submit_block: daemon returned error: 'unknown error', template id = 0, nonce = 0, extra_nonce = 0
