Introduction

A comprehensive setup script for Monero P2Pool CPU mining on Ubuntu/Debian systems. This script automates the entire process of setting up a Monero full node, P2Pool mining node, and XMRig CPU miner.

Features

• Full Monero node setup
• P2Pool mining node configuration
• XMRig CPU miner optimization
• Support for P2Pool Mini
• Systemd service integration
• Installation in system path for easy access
• Service management commands
• Mining statistics monitoring

Requirements

• Monero Wallet Address
• Ubuntu/Debian based system
• Minimum 2GB RAM (4GB+ recommended)
• Multi-core CPU
• Sudo privileges
• Internet connection

To create a new Monero wallet, consult the Monero documentation:

• GUI Wallet
• CLI Wallet

Installation

# Download the script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mik-TF/monerominer/main/monerominer.sh

# Install in system path

• install - Install script system-wide
• uninstall - Remove script and clean up
• build - Run full installation and setup
• start - Start all mining services
• stop - Stop all mining services
• restart - Restart all mining services
• status - Show status of all services
• stats - Show mining statistics

Examples

# Check services status
monerominer status

# View mining statistics
monerominer stats

Service Management

The script creates and manages three systemd services:

1. monerod.service - Monero blockchain daemon
2. p2pool.service - P2Pool mining node
3. xmrig.service - CPU mining service

Control Services

monerominer start    # Start all services
monerominer stop     # Stop all services
monerominer restart  # Restart all services

Security

• Services run under user permissions
• Configuration files use appropriate permissions
• P2Pool connects to local node only
• XMRig mines to local P2Pool instance

Important Notes

• Ensure your wallet address is correct
• Consider using P2Pool Mini for hashrates < 50 kH/s
• Keep your system updated and secured
• Initial blockchain sync may take several days
• Mining rewards go directly to your wallet
• Use at your own risk

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Check service status: monerominer status
2. View service logs: journalctl -u [service-name]
3. Ensure sufficient disk space for blockchain
4. Verify CPU compatibility with RandomX
5. Check mining statistics: monerominer stats
