no mining

[luckytalk]

My Monero status has always been 'not mining'. Where did I go wrong? My p2pool and xmrig have been running normally all along?

[moneromooo-monero]

I assume you mean "mining_status" in monerod ?
If so, is it mining ? I assume not. If other software is mining, it cannot know about it.
If monerod is indeed mining, then please supply more details.

I got the following when running the status command:Height: 3290208/3290208 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 3.15 GH/s, v16, 32(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 0h 23m 25s
I guess the running status of my Monero is abnormal.

If you are mining with p2pool or xmrig then monerod does not know about it, since you use external software.

I use p2pool，and xmrig mining

[selsta]

If you are mining with xmrig and p2pool then monerod does not know about it, thus its status will say "not mining". Does that answer your question?

[luckytalk]

So, is this a normal phenomenon? Will Monero report mining unless they are mining themselves?

[luckytalk]

I report every hour when using Monero CLI: no incoming connections - check firewall/routers allow port 18080. Can we also ignore it? Because I have confirmed that both my firewall and router have enabled forwarding on port 18080.

monerod can only know about mining if you mine with monerod itself, if you use external programs it does not know about it.

Can we also ignore it

Yes it can be ignored if you are ok without incoming connections. It's not an issue unless you want to contribute to the network more.
