I’m happy to support the network, I know I’m playing the long-game when it comes to ROI. I splurged on this machine to retire a 2011 build, and although I mainly use it for general computing, I’m mining 24/7 and this bad boy just won’t slow down. I’m ecstatic.

HEY TUSKER! So good of you to chime in! Love your help.

So, curious, are you also running Huge Pages, and if so, did you leave the config.json set to a value of “true”, or did you specify an actual value?

Here’s the relevant portion of my config.json for Huge Pages:

“cpu”: { “enabled”: true, “huge-pages”: 32768,

I’ll make your changes then restart Gupax. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much MoneroBull! So good to see you! I have enormous respect and admiration for ya, you’re a great person, and such a jewel in the community! I’m trying to find an EPUB or something to learn the in’s and out’s of mining Monero. I’m also walking through SerHack’s “Mastering Monero”… do you know if mining broken down in it? I’m only on Chapter 1 at present.

So I pasted it (with and without your quotes) and the XMRig failed to initialize for both attempts. This was in the “Command Arguments” input field of the XMRig tab under Gupax. It looks like it allows adding arguments, but this suggestion didn’t work for me sighs Thanks for your suggestion, keep 'em coming ^_

I’ll have to reattempt gupax. I fumbled my way around it, couldn’t get it to work right. I’ll have to dedicate an evening, relax and take a systemic approach to get it squared away. I’m sure I messed something up that’s trivial, but I got disheartened and just went back to XMRig. Gotta try harder next time. Good suggestion, from what I read, Gupax is stupid easy to get going. I don’t know where I went wrong.

Thanks for a thought-provoking question! From what I’m gathering, it’s not practical for me to solo mine with my rig. But thanks for chiming in!

Oh my Gucci- I just got a payout with the Monero GUI local node + miner, using P2Pool Mini! This is the first fruit of my labor! Seizure for Jesus, I finally did it!

Thanks for chiming in! And I’m all about patience ^_ “Hurry up and wait” is my motto. Love this community!

Thanks!
