-## Running
-
-Start your `monerod` and `monero-wallet-rpc`. For example, in one
-shell:
-
-    cd "$MONERO_ROOT"/build/Linux/master/release/bin
-    ./monerod --testnet
-
-And in another shell:
-
-    cd "$MONERO_ROOT"/build/Linux/master/release/bin
-    ./monero-wallet-rpc --testnet --rpc-bind-port 28084 --disable-rpc-login \
-        --password "" --wallet-file ~/testnet-pool-wallet
-
-Next, in a third shell, run `monero-pool`. Instructions per the
-[README](./README.md#running).
-
-Lastly you'll need to use a miner that supports this new stratum mode (see
-above):
-
- - If using [XMRig](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig), just adjust your pool
-   object in your `config.json` file setting the `self-select` field to your
-   daemon address (e.g. `"self-select": "localhost:28081"`).
-
- - If using [monero-powpy](https://github.com/jtgrassie/monero-powpy), install
-   the requirements per the projects
-   [README](https://github.com/jtgrassie/monero-powpy/blob/master/README.md),
-   then just run the `stratum-ss-miner.py` miner, optionally editing the
-   parameters first.
