Hello my fellow deviants. It is I, Dark_Armadill0. I made the switch to Gupax, and although I love it (and am finally seeing payouts), I’m a little underwhelmed with a few things. Ahem:

Formerly I ran XMRig standalone and experienced the following:

• With plain XMRig I was netting 18,000 H/s.
• With plain XMRig, I had 1GB Pages Enabled.
• With plain XMRig, I had Huge Pages 100% enabled.

Now under Gupax, I have the following:

• Hashrate has dropped to 13000 H/s (can run [h] command on XMRig tab to get this value)
• 1GB Pages are NOW ENABLED.
• Huge Pages are at 100% enabled.
• STATUS Page of Gupax is not correctly showing/pullling information.

Thank you in advance, and stay devious _ Dark_Armadill0-

Hello fellow deviant, it is I, Dark_Armadill0.

I'm not so new to XMRig, but I am new to Gupax.io and I'm lost on how I can get 1GB Pages from Disabled to Enabled in the XMRig portion of Gupax. Yes, my CPU supports it. Yes, I made my Linux OS use HugePages. Yes, my RAM and OS CLI checks reflect their usage. Yes, I've also used this script . It all works, except in Gupax.

So, how do I get Gupax to use it? In standalone XMRig, I would just have to run the program as a superuser, and it was done.

Thanks in advance!

I used to use docker-compose on alpine for my nodes, trying out nix now on my new server. There's a module for monerod but not p2pool or xmrig-proxy yet, not having the greatest time with nix service modules. Might try rootless podman/docker but I wasnt completely satisfied with the container support on docker either.

Curious what you guys are doing :)

Why, hello, fellow deviant. It is I, Dark_Armadill0. I've done two major recent changes, and now find myself troubleshooting/opinionating my situation. Buckle up, Spanky, it's a long read, but I want to give helpful details to get helpful answers back from you.

1. I upgraded Ol' Bessie from an AMD Phenom X6 (hex-core) AMD 1055T and built a new system.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor at 3.7GHz (no manually over/underclocking done)

RAM: G.Skill 32GB CL14 running at 3600Mhz natively

Mobo: MSI MPG X570S Edge Max Wifi

Drive: Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink NVME M.2 SSD

Ol' Bessie was mining at 534 h/s on a good day on the 2011 PC build. Henceforth, my computer's name will be referred to as Mone Risa. Mone Risa was mining at 18534 h/s before I tried my hand at overclocking and had to reset the CMOS to clear the BIOS and default the system. So, last week I restarted Mone Risa and my hashrate, for some inexplicable reason, dropped to 16337 h/s (pictured). I'm wondering if the hashrate will bounce back, or if something on the network (say, difficulty) changed and my new 16337 h/s cannot be improved?

2. I've been mining on Mone Risa using XMRig 6.xx with 1GB Hugepages successfully enabled on my Linux OS... and from what I can tell from XMRig's startup preamble, the hugepages are running in XMRig as well. I am mining on xmrpool.eu:9999 pool, which is super close to me as I'm in the same country as that server. I've been mining for about 2 months now, and have 0.00000000000 XMR to show for it. Since I'm mining with a pool that has a payout at 0.07 XMR I'm kinda disheartened to see absolutely nothing. Haven't received any shares of block rewards. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance, and thank you for using Lemmy! I'll see ya in the trenches.

Selling my 3950x rig, considering finally building a hobby farm. In the past microcenter had great deals on ryzen 3600/mobo combos and am4 mobos for 3900x's were cheap, but now the bundles are replaced with less efficient 5600x's and am4 mobos are more expensive than the past. Are 3900x rigs still the value king? are the newer budget intel cpus any good? Curious to hear what people think.

Update as soon as you can for the latest changes/fixes etc

The version 3.5is out: https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool

​

Changes:

Added support for multiple Monero hosts. P2Pool will switch to the next host in list when it thinks the current host is stuck or lagging. Documentation is here
Added console commands hosts
and next_host
to switch between hosts manually
Rate limit peer list requests instead of banning peers who send them too often
A few smaller bugfixes and code refactorings to improve overall stability

For those that are new to P2Pool mining make sure to register in the raffle for a chance to win free hashrate.

Mining decentralization is very important for the health of Monero, that is why this incentive was created exclusively for P2Pool miners, Happy mining!

Okay been Mining for 10 Days now, only when there is enough sun. Already earnd 0.0063 Moneros, which i think isnt too bad.

Could it be that P2Pool needs to be restarted on an regular basis? Mined the whole morning not getting a singel share, and the P2Pool Container was running for 24h now. Just restarted it and i saw a share popping in. Coincidence or just luck?

Or at least parts of it. I was able to get the first 0.001 Moneros today only using solar power on P2Pool Mini Sidechain. I am exited.

First of all i am completely new to Monero mining. Why do i want to do it? I have some solar Panels and way too much energy especially over noon which i cannot use, so normally i "donate" that to the electricity company.

Okay so i have monerod and p2pool running on a VPS i rented for my blog etc, so i dont need to run that on my low power 24/7 Intel NUC at home.

I min now with my Laptop which does about 2,4kH/s and with my Gamin PC which does approx. 4,6kH/s.

I see that the miners get new Jobs from p2pool but okay i dont got any share till now (whats a share anyway).

So what i like to know: do i already contribute to the Monero Network right now or is the computing power wasted? What would be a shame.

Second question: I am mining on the mini side chain, do i have an chance to get a revenue with that setup, so with quite low Hashrate under 10kH/s and that also only for approx. 8 hours a day? Or is it simply useless what i am trying to do?

My goal is simply to get a bit of monero out of my computing power to may cover the 2-4€ hosting costs of one of my VServer.

Basically title. Does running with the flags --light-mode or --no-randomx --no-cache affect profitability? Not talking about hashrate.

Can anyone give me an idea what the minimum hardware requirements are for letting monerod und P2Pool run on the same machine. The machine should only do the managing part not mining.

What are the importand specs? CPU Speed? Ram site? Storage?

Does it even work on something like an old Cubietruck etc?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Btw really happy finding out that the Monero Community also exists on Lemmy.

Also please update the display name

I like the UI and the hashrate isnt nearly high enough to be concerned with centralization.
