Decentralized pool for Monero mining.
**NOTE** This is a highly experimental and untested software. I did some extensive testing locally, but there's zero guarantee it will work for you! It requires a custom monerod version (for now). No binaries are provided yet. Testing on mainnet has started! You can check the pool status at https://p2pool.io/
No ETA on the official release date, but hopefully before the end of September 2021.

## How to mine on P2Pool
This guide assumes that you run everything on the same machine. If it's not the case, change `127.0.0.1` to appropriate IP addresses for your setup. It's highly recommended to create a new mainnet wallet for testing because **wallet addresses are public on p2pool**.

- Download binaries from https://github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/releases/latest
- Alternatively, grab the latest source code for both p2pool and monerod and build them (see above, also notice that the branch name for monerod changed, you'll need to checkout p2pool-api-v0.17)
- Prepare enough huge pages (each of monerod/p2pool/xmrig needs them): `sudo sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=3072`
