New to mining monero

Hello. I'm new to mining monero, I'm taking any and every tip possible. I'm currently using 'UnMineable' and using 'XMrig' as the application to mine and UnMineable as a dashboard. My PC specs are an

I5 - 6600

16GB of ram at I believe 3600GHZ

GTX 1070

TINY 11 (OS)

Any recommendations for upgrading? Dont want to fry out my pockets and my PC as I'm quite young and do not have a stable income. I can afford to cover my side of the electricity bill monthly with (If my form of income stays current) £85+ Monthly (After I pay for my side of electrical bills etc) At Most £40 I can put towards upgrades as I am an impulsive spender.

In regards to my age Im still young enough to be getting Birthday money, Christmas Money and such things. So are there any plans I should be taking towards saving and upgrading my rig? Or should I start mining on other devices i.e. Mobile Smartphone, Cheap shitty Laptops I can buy at cheap, list goes on.

How to joint mine with multiple computers?

I have two computers, both mining monero. Currently they are mining under p2pool to separate addresses.

If I booted the same address from both computers and started mining under it, would it successfully combine my hash rates together?

Monero vs Zcash privacy

So I've been doing some google gemini research with Monero vs Zcash in terms of the feds being able to track payments. Let's say I was a illegal organization and I wanted to mine Monero and than transfer Monero payments over to somewhere like Iran to fund their weapons etc. How hard would it be for the federal government to find me?

Mining Monero questions

  1. with all the bans on it for being truly anonymous what future do you see in monero?

  2. what are the best miners/best websites for mining monero

Monero seems like it will surpass bitcoin eventually since it is truly anonymous truly blacklist and cant be frozen like bitcoin, which is why I'm looking to go all in in investing/mining in it in the future.

Just P2Pool, just casually holding 100,000 Stratum connections without breaking a sweat

100,000 simulated mining rigs - each has its own hashrate and submits mining jobs, just like XMRig - no real mining of course, I don't have 200 MH/s :)

More than 3,000 messages per second on Stratum, each message gets replied in less than 0.1 ms - 99th percentile (p99) = 0.1 ms.

All this on a regular laptop, I call it a success :)

Previous P2Pool versions were struggling with more than 10k connections, but I found the source of performance issues and fixed it.

Next release (v4.18) will have these optimizations.

Farm mining

Hello,

Here is the evolution of my mining farm. From bottom to top: EATON 200VA UPS; Supermicro motherboard with EPYC 7532 at 23 kH/s; Supermicro dual Xeon 2697 v2 motherboard at 6.2 kH/s; HP Compaq SFF i7-10700 at 4 kH/s; (white rack) Monerod P2Pool and Xmrig-Proxy server; industrial rack for the surveillance server; and the tower on the rack—Ryzen 7 at 6.4 kH/s. Total power consumption is approximately 1400 VA. Regarding electricity costs: I have solar power generation. Average rewards range from 60 cents to €1 per day. It’s starting to get interesting.

Help

So i have the Monero GUI on a Ubuntu pc running the p2pool mini. Im only running at avg 1900H/s. Not a lot but I was getting .0002 at the minimum every other day. Havent gotten anything in 12days. Is it just the worst luck? Checked observer and it says my p2pool is running on the old version but I updated monero to 0.18.5.0 soon as it came out. Changed the start up flags to that folder and deleted the old folder. I have a Win11 pc I also run the Monero GUI on that runs at avg 8500H/s, observer says the same thing, im on am old version of p2pool but I just got my first payout. (This pc just finished syncing yesterday). So im thinking the out of date p2pool really isnt the issue. Is this just the worst luck? Any advice on where to look for definite answers? Thanks yall

Solo block mined

I usually mine on p2pool mini, but recently decided to give the lottery a chance and solo mine for a while.

I dedicated my 36 Kh/s for the last 24 days, and hit a block about 19 hours ago.

p2pool crashes.

Hi, I’m having a problem with mining on p2pool—after more than 2–3 days, my private p2pool server decides to shut itself down on its own.

I’m using the latest version of monero-wallet-cli, p2pool, and my own custom-built xmrig. I don’t know what’s causing this, and I can’t find any more information about it online, so I’m posting this on Reddit.

I’m also running the latest Debian 13 and start the server using “screen” — screen -S p2pool.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Could it be a bug in a previous version of p2pool? I never had this happen before.
