### Status

By default, Gupax has `auto-update` & `auto-ping` enabled. This can only be turned off in the GUI which causes a chicken-and-egg problem. To get around this, start Gupax with `--no-startup`. This will disable all `auto` features for that instance. By default, Gupax has `auto-update` & `auto-ping` enabled. This can only be turned off in the GUI which causes a chicken-and-egg problem.

### Status
The `[P2Pool]` submenu in this tab reads/writes to a file-based API in a folder called `p2pool` located in the [Gupax OS data directory:](#Disk)
| File | Purpose | Specific Data Type |
|----------|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|
| `log` | Formatted payout lines extracted from P2Pool | Basically a `String` that needs to be parsed correctly
| `payout` | The total amount of payouts received via P2Pool & Gupax | `u64`
| `xmr` | The total amount of XMR mined via P2Pool & Gupax | Atomic Units represented with a `u64`
The `log` file contains formatted payout lines extracted from your P2Pool:
```
<DATE> <TIME> | <12_FLOATING_POINT> XMR | Block <HUMAN_READABLE_BLOCK>
```
e.g:
```
2023-01-01 00:00:00.0000 | 0.600000000000 XMR | Block 2,123,123
```
The `payout` file is just a simple count of how many payouts have been received.
The `xmr` file is the sum of XMR mined represented as [Atomic Units](https://web.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/atomic-units.html). The equation to represent this as normal XMR is:
```rust
XMR_ATOMIC_UNITS / 1,000,000,000,000
```
e.g:
```rust
600,000,000,000 / 1,000,000,000,000 = 0.6 XMR
```
Gupax interacts with these files in two ways:
- Reading the files when initially starting
- Appending/overwriting new data to the files upon P2Pool payout
These files shouldn't be written to manually or Gupax will report wrong data.
If you want to reset these stats, you can run:
```bash
./gupax --reset-payouts
```
or just manually delete the `p2pool` folder in the Gupax OS data directory.
