This fork has a stable release. It is intended for end users and offers a friendly and easy user experience.
Gupaxx is a fork of Gupax integrating the XMRvsBeast Raffle, it is also a maintained software. Designed to simplify mining on P2Pool while optionally participating (but you will want to 😉) in the XMRvsBeast raffle.
Gupaxx may not run on machines with:
- A deprecated OS (Windows 7, Ubuntu 18.04, etc)
- CPU whithout support for OpenGL 3.1 (<2010)
Gupaxx is a fork of Gupax that integrates the XMRvsBeast raffle.
With this fork, you can easily split your hashrate between P2Pool and XMRvsBeast, increasing your chances of winning in the raffle while also supporting the Monero network via decentralizing the mining using using p2pool.
For a detailed explanation of Gupax, see the README of upstream.
- Download the bundled version of Gupaxx
- Extract
- Launch Gupaxx
Next steps can be seen in this video tutorial:
tuto_gupaxx.mp4
- Input your Monero address in the
P2Pooltab - Register the same address on XMRvsBeast
- Input the token received in the XvB Tab
- Start P2Pool
- Start XMRig
- Start XvB
Gupaxx will distribute your hashrate between P2Pool and XMRvsBeast as defined by this algorithm.
The algorithm will decide which quantity of HR that will be directed to P2Pool and to XMRvsBeast, so that you still keep a share in the PPLNS Window. It will by default send just enough to get to the highest round or, if hero mode is enabled, everything minus the minimum required to still have a share in the PPLNS Window.
The output of the console will show useful information on the status of the XvB process and the decision of the algorithm for every 10 minutes.
When you registered your XMR payout address, you should have received a token. Please enter this token here.
Account stats about your address on XMRvsBeast can be found here after the process is started with your token provided.
Gupaxx adds a new column called XvB Raffle on the Status Tab in the Process submenu. It displays public statistics of XMRvsBeast, which are available here.
It is refreshed every minute.
This column will be active if the XvB process is started even partially, it doesn't need the token to be provided.
This fork brings upgrades of dependence and some bugfixes about visual, performance and security that you can find in DIFFERENCES.
I will eventually (meaning when I'll have time) create pull requests for upstream about these differences.
Edit:
There is currently no plan to upstream the changes as the owner of Gupax said he won't have time to review the PR.
If you have any issue, feel free to ask for support in the xmrvsbeast matrix room 
You must add an exception to your antivirus for the directory where Gupaxx is executed. Follow the step for Windows Only, that starts at 30 seconds in this video.
You must remove Gupaxx app from quarantine with following command:
If you have put Gupaxx.app in your Applications
