Thanks to John Foss, The Monero Moon Issue 43 was released today, that is always interesting to read but most important thing is that P2Pool continues to grow in size.
Anyone who is mining Monero should switch to decentralized P2Pool now:

When I mine via p2pool using the monero gui wallet, how do I know when I actually mine something? Will it appear in the Transactions tab?

Yes.  P2pool will send you a transaction for every share you find.  It will be small amounts of Monero but there it will be in your transactions.

You can also see the shares you have found on this site (this is for the mini pool)

On the p2pool github site it says that --zmq-pub parameter is required on monerod when mining. I was using monerod with --no-zmq, but after change to --zmq-pub, I get this error:

That option is not enough I think. Try:
--zmq-pub tcp://127.0.0.1:18083

It worked, thank you

[smooth]

Yes.  P2pool will send you a transaction for every share you find.  It will be small amounts of Monero but there it will be in your transactions.

It actually sends you a transaction for every block the pool mines while you have an active share. If you mine a share and the pool doesn't get a block, you don't get anything (but this should be unusual if the pool hash rate is high enough). If it mines two blocks, you get paid twice (or more) even for one share.

Some cool new charts added on Moneroj website, but I think stock-to-flow model is now way off

Too good not to share...  Faketoshi googles something to lie about and does not notice that he's really looking up something about Montango...

Probably this was answered in a way or another, hence I start with apologizing for being somewhat lazy and didn't research deeply and just came asking.
Is Monero and the official wallet working good with Ledger Nano hardware wallets? Is the setup mature enough?
I would like to finally move my few moneroj from paper wallet to hardware wallet (basically to have one HD seed for both BTC and XMR), but I want to be sure the underlying parts are mature enough.

Maybe somebody having his moneroj already on HW can help with this?
Thank you.

I would wait until after the July 16th hardfork and see if they updated their software, because Ledger is slacking right now: https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-dev/20220607

both previous employees that were responsible for monero either quit or moved to a different position

Many thanks for the info!

I find more worrying the fact Ledger seems to start making a habit of not delivering in time simply to let Monero devs do the work (and probably not pay for the work done).
If new Monero app for Ledger will exist even 3 months late, I won't be that much upset.


Another thing: how about the tool that supposedly converts Ledger 24-word seed to Monero 25-word seed? Is it good/working? (I may try it, although I'm not that good with Linux).



The background is that for some personal reasons I'd want to do the move before July 10th, hence the timing is awful.

I don't know, I don't have Ledger. It probably works, but not always: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-monero/issues/105

[NeuroticFish]

but not always: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/app-monero/issues/105

After basically wasting the afternoons of a week, I didn't manage to get the tool work. It may matter that I've tried to build a safe Linux on an USB stick for the job and that ate up a lot of time too (and the result was far from perfect), but this solution to obtain the recovery phrase is not for me.
Now I know that I better don't mix Monero with Ledger. Thank you very much for opening my eyes, I may have made a mistake otherwise.

Not for or against using the Ledger...

But in the past I found this tool to produce the same keys (and compatible 25 word seed) from the BIP39 24 word set:  https://github.com/Coinomi/bip39-coinomi/releases

Have not tested it in ages against a Ledger, but it certainly worked in the past.

Thank you very much for the idea and the link.

I've tested it and it seems to do the job wonderfully. At least on the web page it seems to obtain the expected address.
Too bad I cannot fully test it offline for my exact use case because I couldn't convince monero-wallet-cli accept the seed words in offline mode.
Doing the same with a newly generated seed and the GUI Monero wallet (online) works though.

So indeed, I am confident that for my use case this was the missing bit.
