FAQ

How long does initial sync take?

It depends on SSD speed and network quality. Plan for hours to days; ~48 hours is a reasonable expectation on typical setups.

What if XMRig says “connection refused” to 127.0.0.1:3333?

Usually P2Pool is not running/listening yet, or it can’t reach monerod RPC/ZMQ. Check monerod (18081/18083) first, then P2Pool.
