## What is Monero/P2Pool/XMRig/Gupax?
**Monero** is a secure, private, and untraceable cryptocurrency.
[**`Monero`**](https://getmonero.org) is a secure, private, and untraceable cryptocurrency.
The [Monero GUI](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui) software lets you run a Monero node (among other things). A Monero node connects you to other peers and lets you download Monero's [blockchain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain).

**P2Pool** is software that lets you create/join decentralized peer-to-peer Monero mining pools.
[**`P2Pool`**](https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool) is software that lets you create/join decentralized peer-to-peer Monero mining pools.
P2Pool as a concept was [first developed for Bitcoin](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool) but was [never fully realized](https://github.com/p2pool/p2pool) due to many limitations. These limitations were fixed when SChernykh rewrote P2Pool from scratch for Monero. P2Pool combines the best of solo mining and traditional pool mining:

These limitations were fixed when [`SChernykh`](https://github.com/SChernykh) rewrote P2Pool from scratch for Monero. P2Pool combines the best of solo mining and traditional pool mining:
* ***It's decentralized:*** There's no central server that can be shutdown or pool admin that controls your hashrate
* ***It's permissionless:*** It's peer-to-peer so there's no one to decide who can and cannot mine on the pool
* ***It's trustless:*** Funds are never in custody, all pool blocks pay out to miners directly and immediately
* **It's decentralized:** There's no central server that can be shutdown or pool admin that controls your hashrate
* **It's permissionless:** It's peer-to-peer so there's no one to decide who can and cannot mine on the pool

* **0% transaction fee, 0 payout fee, immediate ~0.0003 XMR minimum payout**

**XMRig** is an optimized miner which mines Monero at higher speeds.
[**`XMRig`**](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) is an optimized miner that can mine Monero.
Both Monero and P2Pool have built in miners but XMRig is quite faster than both of them. Due to issues like [anti-virus flagging](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/3829#issuecomment-1018191461), it is not feasible to integrate XMRig directly into Monero or P2Pool, however, XMRig is still freely available for anyone to download with the caveat being: you have to set it up yourself.

By default, though, Gupax will use a [Remote Monero Node](#remote-monero-nodes) so you don't even have to run your own full Monero node to start mining on P2Pool.
