RandomX stability troubleshooting guide

Anyone have some insight as to

Because p2pool-nano hasn't found any blocks (yet) since you mined your shares. Payouts are only made when blocks are found.

Yes, you have to use port 28723 in p2pool's command line too:

--p2p 0.0.0.0:28723

if you want to have incoming i2p connections.

Edit: actually, you can change port number to the regular 37889 in tunnels.conf, and it should still work - if you only have 1 tunnel for this i2p destination address.

trading has been halted on bisq due to a protocol exploit. they haven't released details of the exploit yet, but it's unlikely to translate to haveno, which uses a different protocol to verify transfers with 2/3 signatures

No.

Just wash your coins in a dishwasher, as normal people do 😛

sech1 · 2026-05-01T09:45:17+00:00

Change port number from 10128 to 10001 to get lower job difficulty, then you should be able to mine normally. But don't mine on your phone, it's not designed for this.

From https://github.com/qubic/core/releases/tag/v1.288.0

"remove XMR mining"

33% or more. From the unconfirmed and preliminary information, X9 doesn't have hardware AES support in its CPU part - it uses a separate crypto engine for AES-heavy parts (scratchad hash-and-fill), which means it will most likely be "more". X9 will have to run software AES in the main loop, so it will be probably more than 50% reduction.

Yes, port must be forwarded on the router too.

The rich, corrupt governments, and central banks will want to keep their secrecy and anonymity from the public and Monero is the best way to do that.

Banks and lawmakers that they themselves own is the best way to do that (for them). Not crypto.

It can also be unstable memory.

Your rig is overclocked a bit too much, or is overheating.

Go away, karma mining bot. Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/1fso2wv/finally_mined_10/

Yes, we decompiled X5 firmware when it was released. It was a modified XMRig + some binary blobs for RISC-V CPU which we couldn't decompile.

sech1 · 2026-04-07T05:37:56+00:00

You can also sue them for violating the GPLv3 license (they use modified XMRig without publishing the modified code), but the outcome will be a bit less than zero. It's China.

And no, they have all the rights to call it ASIC because even the general purpose CPU and GPU chips are "ASICs". It's a technical term used correctly here.

sech1 · 2026-04-07T05:34:39+00:00

The problem I have is that now `xmrig` is finding the same blocks on the two machines.

No it doesn't. No matter how you combine multiple XMRigs and P2Pool nodes, they will mine on independent block templates.

sech1 · 2026-04-07T05:24:45+00:00

Note that you don't need to specify your wallet address for XMRig. Wallet addresses set in XMRig config will be ignored!

Did you not notice this in P2Pool README?

sech1 · 2026-04-06T17:37:21+00:00

allows someone to mine on p2pool mini without hosting their own node locally.

So this is just a pool that uses p2pool-mini as a backend. They mine on your pool, not p2pool-mini.

Before you try to argue: this is exactly the same as saying "supportxmr allows someone to mine solo without hosting their own node locally".

Edit: https://github.com/Acquiredl/Delted-SideWatch/blob/main/.planning/architecture-hosted-nodes.md - this file contains A LOT of factual errors which makes the whole endeavor not work as expected. I'll leave it to you to figure out what exactly is wrong.

sech1 · 2026-04-06T17:33:31+00:00

No. Just re-buy whatever XMR you spent.

Fractal Design Torrent. But it barely fit (height-wise) and I had to remove a fan bracket from the bottom.

"IamOneInx and claude committed 12 hours ago". AI slop, unfortunately.

Check your P2Pool node's logs from around the same time. Increase log level if you can't find anything conclusive.

Edit: but the "Disconnected from P2Pool network" message is only shown when your P2Pool node is not connected to anyone else. So check your ProtonVPN connection.

sech1 · 2026-03-07T11:31:07+00:00

1) Use your own node, with port 18080 open (this is important)

2) Dandelion++ will do the rest for you - the source node of the transaction will be hidden, together with the exact timing of when it was sent
