In this tab, there is the updater and general Gupax settings.

If `Check for updates` is pressed, Gupax will compare your current `Gupax/P2Pool/XMRig` versions against the latest releases using the [GitHub API](#where-are-updates-downloaded-from) and update them automatically if needed.

Q: How can I be sure the P2Pool/XMRig bundled with Gupax hasn't been tampered with?
|
||||
A: Verify the hash.
|

|
||||
You can always compare the hash of the `P2Pool/XMRig` bundled with Gupax with the official hashes found here:

Make sure the _version_ you are comparing against is correct, and make sure you are comparing the _binary_ to the _binary_, not the `tar/zip`. If they match, you can be sure they are the exact same. Verifying the PGP signature is also recommended:

### Running a Local Monero Node
|
||||
Running and using your own local Monero node improves privacy and security. It also means you won't be depending on one of the [Community Monero Nodes](#community-monero-nodes) provided by Gupax. This comes at the cost of downloading and syncing Monero's blockchain yourself (currently `155GB`).
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like to run and use your own local Monero node for P2Pool, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
![local_node.png](https://github.com/hinto-janaiyo/gupax/blob/main/images/local_node.png)
|
||||
1. In the Monero GUI, go to `Settings`
|
||||
2. Go to the `Node` tab
|
||||
3. Enable `Local node`
|
||||
4. Enter `--zmq-pub=tcp://127.0.0.1:18083` into `Daemon startup flags`
|
||||
|
||||
After syncing the blockchain, you will now have your own Monero node. The 4th step enables `ZMQ`, which is extra Monero node functionality that is needed for P2Pool to work correctly.
