Gupax - WORK IN PROGRESS

banner.png Gupax (guh-picks) is a cross-platform GUI for mining Monero on the decentralized P2Pool, using the dedicated XMRig miner for max hashrate.

Demo

Implementation

  • OS: Gupax will be tested for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Maybe the BSDs
  • Docs: All Gupax usage will have documentation on GitHub; General P2Pool/XMRig info will also be included
  • Packaging: Gupax will be packaged in a bundled zip/tar that includes P2Pool/XMRig, and as a standalone binary that expects you to bring your own P2Pool/XMRig. Both will be the same binary, only difference being the first will include all necessary components. Maybe an installer as well
  • Efficiency: The context for Gupax is a mining machine, it would be too ironic if it impacted the hashrate performance, and so, Gupax uses the very lightweight Rust egui library. By default egui is an "immediate mode" GUI, meaning frames are rendered 60x/sec. This is turned off in Gupax so frames are only rendered upon user interaction. This allows for a fast and lightweight GUI. For context, it uses around 5x less CPU when switching around tabs compared to Monero GUI

Planned

  • Community Node: An option to use a trusted community Monero node instead of your own. At a small privacy cost, this allows users to immediately start mining on P2Pool without downloading the entire chain
  • Update: Built-in update/upgrader for Gupax/P2Pool/XMRig and an (opt-in) auto-updater that runs at startup
  • Config: All the basic configurations you would expect with P2Pool/XMRig (main, mini, peers, thread count, etc)
  • Status: Status tab displaying mining statistics using P2Pool & XMRig's APIs

Goal

Gupax is:

  • A simple GUI solution to P2Pool mining with max hashrate
  • External mining software so Monero GUI isn't plagued with anti-virus issues
  • Fast/lightweight because the context for this software is a mining computer

Gupax is not:

  • For advanced mining setups
  • A Monero wallet
  • A Monero node

Monero GUI + Gupax = Easy, decentralized, max hashrate Monero mining.

Build

Optimized:

cargo build --profile optimized

Optimized for your specific CPU (15%~ speed increase, depending on your CPU):

RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --profile optimized

Add --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu to build for Windows.
