 #### Optional
-* Open ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889 (P2Pool p2p port) in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine
+* Open ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889 (P2Pool p2p port) or 37888 (P2Pool-mini p2p port) in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine
 * An XMRig CPU miner is included by default, but you can connect additional miners to this same p2pool node using port 3333
 * Configure your kernel for maximum mining performance: [XMRig RandomX Optimization Guide](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/randomx-optimization-guide)
+* Small miners can mine on p2pool-mini by editing the .env file
 
 
 #### Other usefull commands
 * You can **run everythng in the background** by adding the "-d" argument to the "docker-compose up" command: ```docker-compose up -d```
 * You can **stop everything** with CTRL-C or ```docker-compose down```
 * You can see logs when running in the background for with the "docker logs" command:  ```docker logs -f p2pool-xmrig``` or ```docker logs -f p2pool-p2pool``` or ```docker logs -f p2pool-monero```
+* You can pause mining with: ```docker-compose pause xmrig``` and resume mining with: ```docker-compose unpause xmrig```
+* You can disable mining with: ```docker-compose stop xmrig``` and re-enable mining with: ```docker-compose start xmrig```
