## Pool mining vs Solo mining vs P2Pool mining
|
||||
|
||||
Here's the comparison table of the different ways of mining. While pool mining is the easiest to setup, it centralizes Monero network and pool admin gets full power over your hashrate and your unpaid funds. Solo mining is 100% independent and the best for the network. P2Pool mining has all the advantages of solo mining, but also makes regular payouts possible.

## How payouts work in P2Pool
|
||||
|
||||
First you need to find a pool share. This share will stay in [PPLNS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining_pool#Pay-per-last-N-shares) window for up to 2160 pool blocks (6 hours, auto adjustable to balance payout sizes and frequency). The moment P2Pool finds a Monero block and you have at least 1 pool share in PPLNS window, you'll get a payout! Monero block reward is split between all miner wallets in PPLNS window. Each miner gets a part of block reward proportional to the total difficulty of his/her shares in PPLNS window.

|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE** If P2Pool doesn't have enough hashrate to find Monero blocks faster than every 6 hours on average (~15 MH/s), **not all your pool shares will result in a payout**. Even if pool hashrate is higher, bad luck can sometimes result in a share going through PPLNS window without a payout. But in the long run it will be compensated by other shares receiving multiple payouts - your payouts will average out to what you'd get with regular pool mining.

## How to mine on P2Pool
|
||||
|
||||
### General Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- In order to mine on P2Pool, a synced Monero node using monerod v0.18.0.0 or newer is required. If you don't currently have one, you can download the [official Monero binaries](https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/), start `monerod` on your PC and wait until it's fully synced. Advanced Monero node setup instructions are [here](https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-monero-node-advanced/).
|
||||
- In order to mine on P2Pool, a synced Salvium node using salviumd v1.0.6 or newer is required. If you don't currently have one, you can download the [official Salvium binaries](https://salvium.io/download.html), start `salviumd` on your PC and wait until it's fully synced. Advanced Salvium node setup instructions are [here](https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-monero-node-advanced/).
|
||||
- It is highly recommended that you create a separate restricted user account (in your OS) for mining. While P2Pool has been battle-tested for a long time now, any software may have unknown bugs/vulnerabilities.
|
||||
- You can mine to a primary wallet address (the one starting with `4`) for mining. If you want to mine to a subaddress, you will need to provide both the main address (starting with 4) and the subaddress (starting with 8) using `--wallet` and `--subaddress` command line parameters.
|
||||
- You can add the `--mini` parameter to your P2Pool command to connect to the **p2pool-mini** sidechain. Note that it will also change the default p2p port from 37889 to 37888.
|
||||
- Check that ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889/37888 (P2Pool/P2Pool mini p2p port) are open in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine.
|
||||
- You can mine to a primary wallet address (the one starting with `SC1`) for mining. If you want to mine to a subaddress, you will need to provide both the main address (starting with SC1) and the subaddress (starting with SC1s) using `--wallet` and `--subaddress` command line parameters.
|
||||
- You can add the `--mini` parameter to your P2Pool command to connect to the **p2pool-mini** sidechain. Note that it will also change the default p2p port from 38889 to 38888.
|
||||
- Check that ports 19080 (Salvium p2p port) and 38889/38888 (P2Pool/P2Pool mini p2p port) are open in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine.
|
||||
- You can connect multiple miners to the same P2Pool node. The more the better!
|
||||
- The steps below assume 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 is highly recommended to create a new mainnet wallet for P2Pool mining because **wallet addresses are public on P2Pool**.
