localhost

2. Fixing the Connection Error

Your wallet shows: Error: wallet failed to connect to daemon: http://localhost:18081.

This is happening because your monerod service is likely either still syncing or using a different port than the CLI wallet expects by default.

To fix this connection:

1. Check your node status:

   sudo systemctl status monerod

2. Verify the RPC port: In your previous configuration, we set the RPC port to 18089 for public/restricted use.

3. Point the wallet to the correct port: Inside your wallet terminal, type:

   set_daemon localhost:18089

3. Finalizing the P2Pool Move

In your second-to-last screenshot, you got a "No such file or directory" error because you were looking for p2pool in the root folder, but it's inside the extracted directory.

Run these commands to finish the installation:

Bash

# Move the binary from its folder to the system path
sudo mv ~/monero-build/p2pool-v4.13-linux-x64/p2pool /usr/local/bin/

# Verify it works
p2pool --version

---

4. Start Mining (P2Pool Mini)

Now that you have your address (49GeCo...), you can finally launch the miner. Use the P2Pool Mini sidechain for better payout consistency on a single computer.

Bash

# Launch P2Pool (Replace the address with your full 49Ge... address)
p2pool --host 127.0.0.1 --wallet XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --mini

Would you like me to show you how to start the XMRig miner in a second terminal window to actually begin the hashing process?
