Solo mine setup? #156

How do other miners connect? How will the pool know who they are without a wallet address. As I see the set up I am putting my wallet address in starting up the pool and xmrig it is documented will ignore any address. So does this mean this configuration is solo just my wallet gets paid if I find a block?

Side note at 85% this download is now crawling like a snail. Trying to prune the db to resize it. Hope it helps. If other nodes are this slow idk 🤷‍♀️ how anyone wins a block

1 p2pool node = 1 wallet address. If you want to mine to several wallet addresses, run a p2pool node for each of them. This is not solo mining, your wallet gets paid every time anyone in the pool finds a block and you have a pool share in PPLNS window. Github is not a place to ask this type of questions, they're more suitable for IRC (#p2pool-log on libera.chat) or reddit (r/MoneroMining).

Thank you for your response. Okay 👌 makes sense. Nice to see code work well out of the box 📦. Most code on GIT is old broken and unsupported
