### P2Pool
P2Pool Simple allows you to ping & connect to a [Community Monero Node](#community-monero-nodes) and start your own local P2Pool instance.
P2Pool Simple allows you to ping & connect to a [Community Monero Node](#community-monero-nodes) and start your own local P2Pool instance on the `Mini` sidechain.
To start P2Pool, first input the Monero address you'd like to receive payouts from. You must use a primary Monero address to mine on P2Pool (starts with a 4). It is highly recommended to create a new wallet since addresses are public on P2Pool!
@ -365,6 +365,15 @@ The `Main/Mini` selector allows you to change which P2Pool sidechain you mine on
| `Main` | More miners, finds blocks faster, has a higher difficulty | Suitable for miners with MORE than 50kH/s |
| `Mini` | Less miners, finds blocks slower, has a lower difficulty | Suitable for miners with LESS than 50kH/s |
Given enough time, both `Main` and `Mini` will result in the same reward (as will solo mining):
| Mining Method | Share Behavior | Payout/Output Behavior | Example | Total (it's the same) |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| `P2Pool Main` | LESS frequent shares that are MORE valuable | Results in MORE outputs worth LESS | 20 shares, 100 outputs worth `0.006 XMR` | `0.6 XMR` |
| `P2Pool Mini` | MORE frequent shares that are LESS valuable | Results in LESS outputs worth MORE | 100 shares, 20 outputs worth `0.03 XMR` | `0.6 XMR` |
| `Solo mining` | No shares, only payouts | 1 output | 1 output worth the block reward: `0.6 XMR` | `0.6 XMR` |
In the end, it doesn't matter _too much_ which sidechain you pick, it will all average out. Getting LESS but more valuable outputs may be desired, however, since the transaction cost to combine all of them (`sweep_all`) will be cheaper due to being comprised of less outputs.
The remaining sliders control miscellaneous settings:
| Slider | Purpose | Default | Min/Max Range |
