Monero Mining
- Qualcomm CPU's chips coming mid 2024
Most notable rumor is 8 channel ddr5 at 8500 MHz. They are efficient mobile processors tho... Mac forums had he most informative discussion I could find.
- xmrig process aborted?
I've had an xmrig process running on Linux terminate after printing "Aborted." twice in the last week, never seen this before. Anybody know what might be the cause? System was recently upgraded to Debian 12 and had an NVMe stick put in.
- P2Pool v3.7 & the recently fixed cURL bug
The bug fixed in cURL 8.4.0 (CVE-2023-38545) is a nasty one, but it seems rather harmless in our context.
First of all, if you don’t use socks5, this issue should be irrelevant. (But do your own research. Source code is there for you to freely study, modify, compile.)
According to the blog, the bug could be exploited only if a socks5 proxy user is tricked to resolve a crazy long hostname (~1024 characters+), which sounds unlikely; except if your direct peer is evil, they might be able to send you a crazy long hostname instead of a numeric IP… maybe? However, if you’re on socks5 proxy, the attacker can’t see your real IP to begin with, so they can’t attack you (I think).
The only attack vector my stupid head can think of is: if for some reason you use both clear connections and socks5 connections, then a lucky attacker who notices your behavior can hit your real IP when you’re on Tor, using your wallet address as an identifier. (Tor exit nodes are public, so they know someone is on Tor.) Even then, maybe the worst thing that could happen is that your p2pool crashes due to buffer overrun.

It is the officially recommended way to mine Monero! Here are seven easy steps:
- 1) Download the bundled version of Gupax examples: > windows file: gupax-v1.3.1-windows-x64-bundle.zip
> macOs file: gupax-v1.3.1-macos-x64-bundle.tar.gz
- 2) Extract
- 3) Launch Gupax
- 4) Input your Monero address in the P2Pool tab (or create a new one for mining)
- 5) Select a Remote Monero Node (or run your own local Monero Node)
- 6) Start P2Pool
- 7) Start XMRig
Motivation: The hashrate of centralized pools increases; so: miners update the mining software and/or start new workers, but do not change their used pool to p2pool. p2pool should be used in general because it is the best technology and:
- 0% fee
- 0 XMR payout fee
- ~0.00027 XMR minimal payout
Maybe an monero.town OP can pin this. It's important.
- MINI.P2Pool.Observer - Sweep Transaction Lookup
Anyone feel they can explain what this is better than p2pool already does? I have been mining for a month on a new address and have one "sweep transaction" I was able to look up. Mine is 0.01+ and a bunch change and its at the block height very close to where I sent 0.01 xmr to this very site to prove I was human. Can anyone provide any insight? Thanks

- 50kh/s hobby farm update
Previous post: https://monero.town/post/279294
Finished building and setting up my 4 3900 builds, read my previous post for more details. Figuring out the best way to build them into the shelf was a lot of trial and error, especially with cable management. Took a few hours, but I'm glad it worked out in the end. I was satisfied with my undervolt on the first rig, but unfortunately I was not able to transfer it to the second. I ended up just using dcop and keeping all the cpus stock for uniformity instead of individually overclocking all the machines. Right now they're doing 12.2-12.4kh/s at 80-84c which is making the room quite toasty, should be nice in the winter (not so much in the summer). Would ROI in about 3 years at the current rate. The top machine is a 5600x which I use as a home server, running monerod and p2pool. I used to run nixos but I eventually switched back to alpine like the other 5 machines. Currently using docker-compose and nixery.
Sorry the text is so dense, feel free to ask questions.

- P2Pool v3.6.2 released [v3.6, 3.6.1 unstable on Mac/Win?]
P2Pool v3.6.2 was released. There were no code changes since v3.6.1, but the MacOS aarch64 build and Windows build were re-compiled with the previous compiler same as in v3.5, to fix reported stability issues.
It is said: “If the previous version works fine for you, you don't need to update.” but even if you think v3.6.1 is working, you may want to carefully monitor the situation (e.g. Hashrate / CPU temperature) to see which compiler works better for you. It is possible that keeping using v3.6.1 is better for some users.
Apparently it is not yet proven that the new compiler is the culprit for this, though a compiler optimization-related issue is suspected.
Changes:
- macOS aarch64 build is back to using old compiler (same as in v3.5) to fix reported stability issues
- Windows build is back to using MSVC compiler (same as in v3.5) to fix reported stability issues
> Release P2Pool v3.6.2 · SChernykh/p2pool · GitHub
EDIT (Clarification for Windows users)
- The previous (old) version (v3.6.1) was created with a NEW compiler, and is supposed to run faster (7-8% faster block verification), while there might be crashing bugs or other unexpected issues.
- The current (new) version (v3.6.2) was created with the OLD compiler (same as v3.5), and is supposed to run only as fast as v3.5 (so 7-8% slower block verification, than v3.6.1), although it might be stabler.

- chained xmrig proxies
I wonder if you could chain multiple xmrig proxies to a single xmrig proxy.
My scenerio for this would be if i ran a computer support business and the contract was that each client would dedicate idle cpu time to mine. So say each client had 20 machines, those machines would mine to an xmrig proxy which would be set to mine to a proxy that i have easy access to. That way instead of 200 computers (10 clients with 20 machines) all hitting a single proxy the main proxy would only have 10 connections to it. That would make switching pools easier too since only a single proxy would need to be changed instead of visiting 10 different sites to change each one.
- had to switch pools
I was using monerod.org, but decided to go to herominers because its hashrate is higher and so payouts should be more steady. I am watchful of contributing to centralization though so made sure it was still small. Herominers is ~3% of the hashrate so i don't feel bad about pointing my xmrig-proxy their.

- New 50kh/s hobby farm and p2pool setup
Been a Monero miner for a few years now and wanted to scale up a bit for fun. Purchased some used 3900's from ebay, new gold psus, b450 mobos, 2x8 3200 cl16 memory kits, and usbs to boot from. I think I spent about $400 usd per system for 4 systems, total $1600. I could've bought used for the rest of the parts (especially for bdie's instead of cdie) and saved quite a bit, but frankly I was too lazy. I've been working on building the rest of the systems, but the one I have running right now is running 3.5ghz @ 0.95v on the cpu, and 3333 cl 15 @ 1.4v on the memory for 12.5kh/s. I spent a while overclocking subtimings but in the end concluded the time investment wasnt worth the minor gains and decreased uniformity. At current rates, I would ROI in about 5 years. Not too shabby considering I own the systems and can sell them for most of the money back if I ever need.
Currently running Alpine Linux on each of the miners, and I have a separate 5600x server running NixOS that I use to run my nodes (among other applications). I was going to use Nix on the miners as well, but Alpine is easier considering its a single user machine, and probably faster. Of course I'm running my own monerod and p2pool, might throw xmrig proxy in there for stats as well but that can be a future endeavor.
- 1GB Pages ENABLED in Gupax!!!! But now... the Status Page is fubar.
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.

- Gupax - Enabling 1GB Pages ain't working
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!
- For anyone self hosting monerod/p2pool out there, whats your software setup?
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 :)
- Low Hashrate on AMD 5950X + No rewards from mining for 2 months non-stop.
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.
- 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?
- 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.
- Hows the current mining landscape?
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.

- Regular P2Pool restart needed?
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?
- Earnd my first Moneros
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.
- Do i already contribute to the network?
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.
