    GUI Uniting P2Pool And XMRig

  • If you do not even have this space then you can mine using GUPAX which is a GUI for p2pool and lets you easily use a remote node which means you do not need to chain on your computer. Check it out at https://gupax.io/

    Decentralized pool for Monero mining (by SChernykh)

  • If you choose to switch to p2pool, since you already have Xmrig downloaded you can just download p2pool from here or build it from the instructions here. If you choose this method, in your startup command use the same remote node that you are syncing your wallet to. The preferred method of running p2pool is with your own local node but you don't have the space for it. The other option, which would probably be the easiest option would be to download and install Gupax, it is a simplified installation program for both Xmrig and p2pool and can be downloaded from Gupax.io. When you start it up in Simple Mode it will test the speed and automatically select the fastest Remote node from the list I mentioned. All you have to do is put your wallet address in the Monero Address field start p2pool and wait for it to Synchronize and then start xmrig. Boom, you're mining to p2pool. If you are just mining with one computer or multiple computers with a combined Hash Rate of less than 75kH/s I suggest you mine on the mini p2pool sidechain. There are command line instructions for starting p2pool on the p2pool Github page and there is a quick installation video for Gupax on the Gupax site. Good Luck and if you have issues there are plenty of people here willing to help.
