Title: zcash equihash mining parameters
Post by: nerdralph on September 23, 2016, 11:10:27 PM
I've looked at the mining specs, but don't see the equihash parameters.
https://forum.z.cash/t/final-zcash-mining-specifications/355

I think zcash is using k=5, n=144 & N=2^((n/k+1)+1).  Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.  Looks like the change happened a little more than a month ago.
