# Salvium P2Pool
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A fork of the Decentralized pool for monero mining converted for Salvium.
|
|
|
|
Decentralized pool for Salvium mining. Based on [SChernykh's P2Pool](https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool) for Monero.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pool status and monitoring pages can be found at https://p2pool.io/, https://p2pool.io/mini/ and https://p2pool.observer/, https://mini.p2pool.observer/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are 3rd-party pages. If they are down, it doesn't mean there is a problem with P2Pool itself - it keeps mining always thanks to its decentralized nature.

- In order to mine on P2Pool, a synced Salvium node using salviumd v1.0.6 or newer is required. If you don't currently have one, you can download the [official Salvium binaries](https://salvium.io/download.html), start `salviumd` on your PC and wait until it's fully synced. Advanced Salvium 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 (in your OS) for mining. While P2Pool has been battle-tested for a long time now, any software may have unknown bugs/vulnerabilities.

- You can mine to a primary wallet address (the one starting with `SC1`) for mining. If you want to mine to a subaddress, you will need to provide both the main address (starting with SC1) and the subaddress (starting with SC1s) using `--wallet` and `--subaddress` command line parameters.

### Merge mining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Merge mining is available in P2Pool since the fork that happened on October 12th, 2024. Version 4.0 or newer is required to use it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blockchains that will support [Merge mining RPC API](https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/blob/master/docs/MERGE_MINING.MD#proposed-rpc-api):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Townforge](https://townforge.net/) supports it in their [tmp-mm branch](https://git.townforge.net/townforge/townforge/src/branch/tmp-mm) (not released yet)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [DarkFi](https://dark.fi/) is going to support it, but it's [not ready yet](https://github.com/darkrenaissance/darkfi/issues/244)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
p2pool.exe --wallet YOUR_SALVIUM_WALLET_ADDRESS --merge-mine IP:port YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS_ON_ANOTHER_BLOCKCHAIN
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blockchains that support merge mining already: [Tari](https://www.tari.com/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tari uses their own gRPC API and requires a different command line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./p2pool --wallet YOUR_SALVIUM_WALLET_ADDRESS --merge-mine tari://TARI_NODE_IP:18102 TARI_WALLET_ADDRESS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and on the Tari side
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./minotari_node --grpc-enabled --mining-enabled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TARI_NODE_IP is 127.0.0.1 if you run both on the same machine (recommended).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Merge mining is available on Tari's mainnet:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Download [Tari suite](https://github.com/tari-project/tari/releases/latest) for your OS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Run Minotari node and wait until in synchronizes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Run Minotari console wallet to create a Tari wallet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Copy the "Tari Address one-sided" from the "Receive" tab of the wallet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Paste it into the P2Pool command line above
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Everything is ready now to start merge mining Salvium and Tari!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that Tari will be mined in solo mode (only full Tari blocks can be mined for now). This doesn't affect P2Pool payouts - they will stay the same.

`--out-peers 32 --in-peers 64` is needed to (1) have many connections to other nodes and (2) limit incoming connection count because it can grow uncontrollably and cause problems when it goes above 1000 (open files limit in Linux). If your network connection's **upload** bandwidth is less than **10 Mbit**, use `--out-peers 8 --in-peers 16` instead.

## Reproducible builds
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting from v4.9, P2Pool uses [reproducible builds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds) to create the release binaries. This allows verification that no vulnerabilities or backdoors have been introduced during the compilation process, and that the compiled binaries correspond to the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It removes the need for trust that the author or maintainer of the code is not malicious/compromised, and that the build server is not compromised.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyone can run the same build script on the same source code, and get the same release binaries in the end, confirming their authenticity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites: Ubuntu with Docker and Git installed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example of building v4.9 release binaries:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone --branch v4.9 --recursive https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
p2pool/scripts/release/build_all.sh v4.9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The binaries will be created in `p2pool/scripts/release` folder. First time you run it, it will take up to several hours to first build the Docker image with all the necessary tools in it. Wait until all builds are finished and then run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd p2pool/scripts/release
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./gen_sums.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to generate the hash sums and compare them with the official release's hash sums.

Starting from v4.6, P2Pool will also have an ability to merge mine donations for the author.
|
|
|
|
## Credits
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this will not affect your hashrate or payouts in any way. P2Pool will always (100% of the time) keep mining to your configured Monero wallet address, but it might also use the available merge mining capacity to donate to the author.
|
|
|
|
This project is based on [P2Pool](https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool) by SChernykh (Monero). All credit for the original P2Pool implementation goes to SChernykh and contributors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you merge mine yourself, your settings will take priority.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The merge mining donation runs without a donation server - there is no "phoning home" to a server, everything is done through the P2Pool's network in a decentralized way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To opt out of this, build P2Pool with `-DWITH_MERGE_MINING_DONATION=OFF` in cmake command line. Due to the architecture of the decentralized P2Pool network, your node will still relay donation messages to other nodes even if you opted out (but it will not process them).
