SChernykh releases P2Pool v5.0-beta for FCMP++/Carrot stressnet v3.0

SChernykh1 has released P2Pool2 beta version 5.03 that can be used with the FCMP++ & Carrot beta stressnet v3.04, with a new reward split algorithm5:

DO NOT use it with regular P2Pool chains (main/mini/nano) - it will refuse to run there.

Changes overview

FCMP++/Carrot support
RandomX v2 support
New reward split algorithm
Subaddress support removed because of Monero consensus changes

Before using the software, you should verify the SHA256 sums with SChernykh’s GPG key6.

Consult the P2Pool-beta monitor page7 and beta stressnet v3.0 explorer8 for more information.

Read the previous Monero Observer report to learn more about the FCMP++/Carrot beta stressnet v3.0 release9.

Note that it is strongly recommended to synchronize your system clock before you start mining; create a new testnet wallet and sync the beta stressnet blockchain.
