p2pool-nsis VS p2pool

If you want to get started on mining you can mine on p2pool, either set up your mining manually following these instructions, or use this 3rd party automatic installer

Yes, if you scroll down on their github, there's a guide on how to build from source on different operating systems and just below that is a guide on how to set it up. There are also readily compiled binaries for download if you don't want to build from source and even an installer for windows (scroll to the bottom, don't confuse it with the download link to get xmrig) - also note that the installer isn't made by the p2pool dev himself, but big names from within the community deem it save; also note that I have no personal experience with the installer.

There's a windows installer by another dev if you want to get started quickly.

Btw it looks like there's a P2Pool v1.1 installer out now: https://github.com/WeebDataHoarder/p2pool-nsis/releases/tag/v1.1-0244297

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

poolboy is a tiny (~ 200 lines of code) web server that renders a static page with stats from P2Pool data-api.

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

I have set up my node (pruned) as per the P2Pool recommendation: https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/releases

https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool and followed the GNU/Linux guide, which is what I'm doing right now; it's making.

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.
