Monero Mining

I was using monerod.org, but decided to go to herominers because its hashrate is higher and so payouts should be more steady. I am watchful of contributing to centralization though so made sure it was still small. Herominers is ~3% of the hashrate so i don't feel bad about pointing my xmrig-proxy their.

Honestly, because im to damn lazy to set it up when i can just change pool="" and port="" in my proxy start script.

Just read up on it more. It is really not that difficult to setup p2pool.

Idk what happened, but herominers dropped from 400 megahash to 4 megahash. So i bit the bullet and setup p2pool mini.

I know i could do it. I just dont want to. I am watching and if my pool ever gets large i will switch to a smaller one. Its not like im pointing my hashpower at supportxmr, nanopool, or hashvault. Its 3% of the total hashrate and therefore nothing to be concerned over.

Yeah but you do the work once and you never have to do it again.

Exactly, no need to maste time in the future looking into the next pool, plus 100% uptime means you do not have to mess with backup pools. 👍️

Laziness always leads to more work later.

You'd save a lot of time and monero by switching to p2pool sooner rather than later, highly recommend
