Question about port 37888 for p2pool mini mining
https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool says "yes" - if you’re mining from a computer behind a router (I’m not)

How do I know if I'm actually mining Monero correctly and everything is alright?
https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool and followed the GNU/Linux guide, which is what I'm doing right now; it's making.

There should be a link to GUPAX in the pinned FAQ, please add :)
Just don't misinform new Monero users: p2pool and gupax are not a mining pool (that is by definition a web service maintained by another person) but rather a mining software that comes with a burden - its maintain costs and self-responsibility.

Ask HN: What fuel for my data furnace?
This is not true for all crypto coins. A small proportion of mining hash functions are deliberately designed to thwart ASICs, e.g. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. It's a cat-and-mouse game, though: CryptoNight was designed to fulfill the same role, but ultimately failed: https://monerodocs.org/proof-of-work/cryptonight/.

Why does purplecoin want asic friendly pow algorithm if you are advertising full node on any device?
Monero uses randomx, an ASIC-resistant and CPU-friendly POW algorithm created by Monero community members, designed to make the use of mining-specific hardware unfeasible. Monero previously used CryptoNight and variations of this algorithm. More info in the GitHub repo.

How to code javascript monero mining algorithm from scratch?
Here's the randomx github. Or at least I think its the same randomx that xmr uses? https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. There's some stuff in there under the documentation section.

[serious] Is Monero really what investors think they would get buying Bitcoin?
Monero does not have ASICs since RandomX was implemented in 2019. CPU is the best way to mine it. See https://github.com/tevador/RandomX.
