Tari: The challenges with P2pool and merge mining Monero
summary
Implemented P2Pool for Tari while merge mining Monero and hit concrete limits: 3.3 GH RandomX merge-mined contributes heavily to Monero’s bump to ~6.5 then ~5 GH, P2Pool nodes require full sync and about 6 GB of chain data, and share chains cap payouts at roughly limit ~2,000 payees versus centralized pools serving ~9,000. Large XMR headers and coinbase proofs bloat storage. Plan is to implement Stratum and JSON-RPC, use compact proofs and covenants to scale.
