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:

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.

With Monero GUI managing the Monero node on one side and Gupax managing P2Pool/XMRig on the other, it is (hopefully) very easy for anyone to start mining Monero at **max hashrate in a decentralized, permissionless, and trustless manner**.
|
By default, though, Gupax will use a [Community Monero Node](#community-monero-nodes) so you don't even have to run your own full Monero node to start mining on P2Pool:

### Can I quit mid-update?

Although Gupax uses a temporary folder (`gupax_update_[A-Za-z0-9]`) to store temporary downloaded files, there aren't measures in place to revert an upgrade once the file swapping has actually started. If you quit Gupax anytime before the `Upgrading packages` phase (after metadata, download, extraction), you will technically be safe but this is not recommended as it is risky, especially since these updates can be very fast.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you started an update, you should let it finish. If the update has been stuck for a *long* time, it may be worth quitting Gupax. The worst that can happen is that your `Gupax/P2Pool/XMRig` binaries may be moved/deleted. Those can be easily redownloaded. Your actual `Gupax` user data (settings, custom nodes, pools, etc) is never touched.
