A little newbie explainer/questions re: Gupaxx, xmrig proxy and XvB raffle etc

Hey miners

I finally got myself set up mining properly after doing the odd gui wallet mine for fun. I picked up a couple of the minisforum boards and set up some cute optiplex style rigs I have hanging out doing ~16kH/s for 77W. I know it could be better but it was surprisingly hard to get to this points so I'm just chilling for a bit and enjoying that. Considering I was planning to buy an old used 3950x rig and use that, I am getting about double the performance per watt at least!

I got it all set up using gupaxx and pointing the second rig to it via xmrig proxy - cool. Pleased with how it works.

I also point my daily driver (old Ryzen 3600) to the proxy to add another ~5kH/s.

Anyway, the questions:

When running rigs on xmrig proxy via gupaxx I cannot see the hashrate apart from occasionally one goes by on the log but it never changes - is there a better way to see the hashrate of rigs using just xmrig proxy?

It took a while of watching for me to understand how gupaxx works the XvB raffle - since my rigs get to about 35kH/s total it seems to try and point 10kH/s to XvB I suppose to get me into the VIP donor round, which I presume is "better" than the donor round?

I have won a couple of times recently but I didn't see the bonus hash rate appear on my P2Pool status - is that right? Is there a way of verifying you did receive the bonus hash?

How long do you get the bonus hash for? one round (so approx 1hr)?

Both wins have been during a quiet period on the nano pool (that I'm mining on) so there have been no blocks found - gupaxx shows 32 shares found, 10 current shares - are the other 22 "lost" and I missed out if the bonus hash was applied back then?

I'm tempted to switch to mini pool which seems to find more blocks, if I were to do that, I suppose I should wait until a block is found on nano to minimise lost work?

....

Ultimately I am wondering whether to continue sending 1/3 of my hash to XvB or just plough on mining fully with P2Pool and the confusion above is partly why! But if I did get those bonus hashes... it could keep me sharing with XvB.

happy hashing!
