A public dashboard for P2Pool shares and payouts

We built p2pool.monero.love to make P2Pool's public activity easier to follow. Open the page and you can see shares arriving, recent Monero block rewards and the payout amounts within each recorded block. Main, Mini and Nano each get their own section.

The dashboard shows activity across each pool. You don't need an account or a wallet address, and there is no miner to configure. It works as a page to check occasionally or leave open while new data arrives.

Three chains, together or on their own

The homepage displays all three sidechains. Its overview cards show estimated hashrate and the number of miners contributing to the current payout window. Select a card to jump to that chain's details.

For a page dedicated to one chain, bookmark Main, Mini or Nano. Each keeps the same statistics, share display, reward chart and payout ledger as its section on the homepage.

The layout follows Monero Love's cream, charcoal and orange palette, with light and dark themes. We kept the dashboard focused on the live statistics, without the main site's header or footer.

Reading the share activity

Each chain shows the shares and miners in its current payout window, plus uncle shares, the latest block reward and current effort. The share activity panel displays up to 60 recently observed shares, ordered from oldest to newest. Each tile represents a share. Selecting one opens its details on a public P2Pool Observer explorer.

A share records mining work on P2Pool's sidechain. It isn't automatically a Monero block or a payment. When P2Pool finds a Monero block, eligible shares in the payout window determine how the reward is divided. A share can leave that window without earning a payout, or participate in more than one payout. The P2Pool project's explanation describes this process.

Current effort adds context to the wait for the next block. The display uses 100% as the statistical average. It is not a countdown, and passing 100% doesn't make a block due.

Open a block's payout ledger

The recent rewards chart shows up to 30 available Monero blocks found by that sidechain. Its XMR total is the sum of those displayed rewards. It isn't a daily total, and it isn't an estimate of what an individual miner earned.

Below it, the payout ledger starts collapsed. Open it to see up to 20 recent recorded blocks, then select a block's payout count to expand the individual output amounts in XMR. You can close the details again when you've finished reading.

The dashboard checks that the output amounts add up to the recorded block reward before displaying the expanded list. It shows amounts without miner addresses. The output count should not be read as a count of unique people.

These are records of rewards from blocks the sidechain found. The dashboard doesn't hold funds or send payments. P2Pool pays miners directly through the block reward, as its project documentation explains.

How our nodes supply the dashboard

The data starts with our Monero node and three separate P2Pool observer nodes. Main, Mini and Nano each follow their own sidechain, while all three use the same Monero blockchain for block rewards.

Our Monero node follows the Monero network. The observers query it through RPC, the interface for requesting node data, and receive new-event notifications through ZMQ. Those notifications help the observers follow changes without waiting for the dashboard's next refresh.

Each P2Pool observer connects to peers on its own sidechain. Its indexer records shares and found blocks in a separate database for that chain. Its API then supplies the chain's window statistics, recent shares, block rewards and individual payout amounts.

The public page reads from a small dashboard server. That server collects data from all three observer APIs through private connections and caches the results. Your browser requests that prepared data from the dashboard itself. It doesn't connect to our Monero node or the private observer APIs.

The path is: our Monero node and P2Pool peers → our chain observers → the dashboard server → your browser. Main data stays in the Main view, Mini data in Mini, and Nano data in Nano.

These observer nodes run without configured miners or payout wallets. Opening the dashboard lets you watch the chains. To contribute mining work, you would run a mining setup separately, following the getting started with P2Pool guide.

The explorer links still open public P2Pool Observer pages for further investigation. The dashboard's statistics and payout amounts come from our infrastructure, with no fallback to a public observer's API.

Freshness and recorded history

The page refreshes every 30 seconds. If a feed fails or gets behind, it keeps the last available readings and marks them stale. Check that status before treating a number as current.

Our recorded payout history builds as the observers collect blocks. A chain with only a short ledger has a short local history, not necessarily a shortage of earlier payouts. A chain reorganization can also affect newly found blocks.

Open it over HTTPS or Tor

Start with the public dashboard, or use its Tor link to open the onion version in Tor Browser. The single-chain paths work there too.

Pick a chain, watch its shares arrive and open a recent block to see the payout amounts behind the chart.
