xmrvsbeast proposes bounty for adding P2Pool mining feature to Monero GUI Wallet in Simple mode

xmrvsbeast¹ has proposed a bounty² for adding a Monero GUI Wallet³ feature that would allow users to mine on P2Pool⁴ in Simple mode⁵, via remote nodes:

I really see it as a opportunity to onboard a broad base of users who may end up running their own node eventually when they get more serious about mining and Monero.⁶

Total Bounty: 2 XMR (to date)

Requirements

• Code is open-source
• Code is submitted to the Monero repo as a pull-request⁷
• Pull request is accepted into Monero’s code base after review
• Automatically populate the “start up flags” with the required options based on remote node in use by wallet: “–host moneronode.com –rpc-port 18089 –zmq-port 18083”
• Automatically check configured remote node for p2pool compatibility
• Notify user if node is not compatible and suggest to search internet for a node with a suggested search term example: “P2Pool compatible Monero remote nodes”

To start working on the project yourself, you should make your intentions public by posting a comment in the bounty’s thread.

To increase the bounty you can contribute some XMR to the bounty address posted by the Monero Bounties Bot².

Note that this proposal is somewhat controversial. Read the associated Reddit thread⁸ for more information.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated if/when new information is available.
