> Small principled Monero mining pool — P2Pool-backed + Solo + optional Tari merge mining, TLS-only stratum endpoints.

## Review

xmr.pw is a small no-fluff Monero mining pool. The two stratum modes are clearly separated: **Solo** (`pool.xmr.pw:5353` TLS / `:5555` TCP) for miners who want direct block ownership with full luck variance, and **P2Mining** (`pool.xmr.pw:4343` TLS / `:4242` TCP) which is a thin pool-side accounting layer on top of P2Pool — the actual block-finding decentralisation lives in P2Pool itself, the pool just gives you wallet-side visibility and a simpler configuration story. Optional Tari merge mining is supported on the P2Pool side.

**Why we list this at B and not higher**: hashrate footprint is tiny (~1 MH/s active across 4 miners as of 2026-05-31 — that's ~0.02% of the ~5.3 GH/s network), so this isn't the place for a large farm chasing steady payout cadence. It IS the place for a hobbyist or principled-decentralisation miner who's been burned by post-minexmr hashrate concentration on the big two pools, wants TLS-by-default endpoints, and wants the P2Pool model exposed without having to learn the P2Pool CLI cold. The operator is responsive on the listed Telegram/Discord channels and ships infrastructure changes publicly (TLS port advertisement, Tari merge mining toggle, stat dashboard).

**Trust mechanism**: read-only public stats, P2Pool-backed mode keeps actual blockfinding decentralised (operator can't selectively withhold blocks the way a fully-internal PPLNS pool could), open-source mining client paths (XMRig + xmrig-proxy on the miner side, P2Pool on the node side). Standard mining-pool custody warning still applies — your earnings sit in the pool's payout queue between blocks; use a payout-threshold you're comfortable losing if the operator vanishes. The Solo mode removes even that risk for miners with enough hashrate to find blocks alone.

**Useful when** you're optimising for hashrate decentralisation more than payout smoothness, or you want to mine Monero with Tari merge mining as a free side reward stream, or you just want a clean TLS-by-default stratum to point a hobby rig at.
