1. Point your miner here

./xmrig -o xmrpool.tech4ai.net:3334 -u YOUR_MONERO_ADDRESS.myrig -p x -r 100 -R 10

First connection takes about 5 minutes. The service starts your own p2pool instance and waits for it to sync the sidechain. Until then the login is answered with “instance is still starting”. xmrig normally retries by itself; the -r 100 -R 10 flags make it retry every 10 s, up to 100 times. If your miner gives up, just start it again after a few minutes. Use your wallet's primary address: subaddresses, integrated addresses and exchange deposit addresses are refused.

How it works

p2pool pays the wallet its node was started with and ignores the stratum username, so one shared node can only ever pay its operator. Instead, this service starts a separate p2pool-nano instance for each address:

your miner → router (reads your address) → your own p2pool-nano instance (--wallet YOUR_ADDRESS) → nano sidechain

Your shares are recorded on the sidechain under your address. When anyone on the nano sidechain finds a Monero block, the reward is split across everyone with shares in the window, and your part is paid on-chain directly from the block reward, exactly as if you ran your own node. The operator never holds your funds.

Same payouts and same luck as running your own node: the shared sidechain, not the node, pools everyone's shares. If you can, running your own p2pool is still the most decentralised option.

2. What to expect

p2pool-nano pays everyone who has at least one share in the last 2160 shares (about 18 hours) each time the pool finds a Monero block. The amount is proportional to your share of the pool's work, and it arrives directly in your wallet as part of the block reward.

Figures use the nano sidechain difficulty measured on 2026-09-26 (≈130M). Difficulty changes with total pool hashrate, so times scale up or down with it. Payments are small and frequent; mining rewards are never guaranteed.

Check your shares and payouts on nano.p2pool.observer by searching for your address.

Limits, privacy and what to expect from a free service

• Capacity: at most 10 addresses mine at the same time (see Live status). When full, logins are refused with “Service full”; try again later.
• Idle instances stop after 30 minutes with no miner connected (sooner if the service is full and someone is waiting). No shares are lost, but restarting takes about 5 minutes.
• Per IP: up to 8 connections and 2 new addresses per hour.
• Privacy: your address is public on the p2pool sidechain by design. The operator can see your IP address and when you connect; logs are rotated and used only for abuse control.
• Best effort: free service with no uptime guarantee; it may change or stop. If it is useful to you, see the Donations page.

3. Public Monero node (for wallets)

Use this as a remote node in Feather, Cake Wallet, Monero GUI/CLI, etc.

monero-wallet-cli --daemon-address xmrpool.tech4ai.net:28089 --trusted-daemon=no

This node is pruned and connection-limited per IP. As with any remote node, the operator can see your IP address. For best privacy, run your own node.
