### A ChainWorks Industries (CWI) Project - Pyroxene (theMINE) | CWI-MINT Logos




Pyroxene is the name given to the NEW CWI Mine system (theMINE).

We have been working on this particular rebuild for some time now, and have been testing the new hardware/software platform extensively, with excellent results in stability, availability, and expandability.

Pyroxene (theMINE) is still utilizing the trusted and much loved MPOS frontend, with a few CWI tweaks, for the foreseeable future. The backend is based on a rock solid Linux Operating System, with our very own and very stable Python based Stratum we call Obsidian (theSTRATUM). With multiple servers playing their own unique part in the backend, the platform is designed to be as expandable as it needs to be. This not only allows expansion in all parts of the infrastructure, but is also designed to become part of the massive project of the HPC Platform - theGRID (codenamed ENIGMA) which we are designing to start building next year.

Pyroxene (theMINE) has been built to have one of the most cohesive communication systems in the backend, so that data is transferred at lightning speed, with very little overhead on the Server level, as well as between servers.

The CWI-MINT project (codenamed Logos) encompasses all the mining, and related projects in one department. These SubDivisions include CWIgm (theMINER), Obsidian (theSTRATUM), and of course Pyroxene (theMINE).

Pyroxene is a Work In Progess and as such will continue to develop and expand as it grows into a much more mature platform throughout this year and into the future. Our goal here at CWI is to build a mining system so stable and resilient, that it will cater for almost ALL miners of ALL sizes. From the small CPU Miners to the Largest Farms and Rental systems, Pyroxene (theMINE) is being designed to handle ANY hash power you can direct at it. Further, the type of pools will grow from just MPOS alone, to various others, with development into our own Non-Registration system currently in the works.

Diversity of PoW coins to mine are all part of the build, as well as the eventual decentralization of Obsidian (theSTRATUM), so that miners worldwide can mine to the Stratum with the lowest latency. Much more is in store for Pyroxene (theMINE) and we will continue to work extensively as Pyroxene (theMINE) grows, ensuring that we iron out ANY issues that may arise. Coin issues will occur from time to time, as we have experienced a few times previously, so we will do what we can to ensure complete cooperation with the Coin Developers so that the coins we choose for inclusion here in Pyroxene (theMINE), are as stable as the Coins Development Team can make them.

All the current coins to be mined on Pyroxene thus far are located here -

http://pyroxene.chainworksindustries.com/ - Being Built as the main Landing Page, but currently pointing to Chysolite Mine.

As this list of coins continues to grow this year and into the future, the suggestions of coins for addition will still be very welcome, and we will research all suggestions put forward, as well as our own Coins Of Choice.

We hope you have a smooth and seamless experience using Pyroxene, and most of all NJOI and have a great time mining.

can i read more technical information about this project?
i don't understand in general, how this platform will work.
and, can i join to website without registration?

Hi RickyCardero ...

For the end user - simply put, it is a collection of mining pools.

This new system is based on powerful Servers, solid Operating Systems, inhouse coded applications like Obsidian (the stratum that allows you to mine to the daemon/wallet), and currently the MPOS frontend for the Pool details, mining statistics and payment system. The difference here is the way it is built in the backend, with multiple servers focused on one task per server, and the method these servers communicate to one another, making it a very efficient process.

To mine, this system requires registration, and as such, requires the registration setup on one of the pools. The main DataBase server contains ALL the details that is required for ALL the pools, and so registration only needs to happen once. Those same registration details are then used for all the pools that exist in this DataBase environment, and so you will be able to log in on all the corresponding pools using the one registration, and mine with the same workers, just by changing Algorithm settings.

The entire system we are building isn't 'just' this of course, but that is what is presently available to mine on. Many more components are still being worked on and developed, and as they come to fruition, will come to be part of system. Which is why Pyroxene (theMINE) was created.

If you have miners, please take it for a test drive. The only pool we are currently working on is SweepStakeCoin Pool. All the others are open for full testing and mining.

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - BERNCASH | SWEEPSTAKECOIN

Hi All ...

SWEEP pool is undergoing maintenance, which will take some time.

All seems well though, and progressing steadily. The pool has over 160KBlocks to process so there is some heavy lifting to be done by the server, which also seems to be doing it almost effortlessly.

Once this is rectified, we will be setting the rest of the pools soon after so that the old pool server is decommissioned shortly after that.

Mining 'can' commence on the pool if you so desire (as we are doing so now, and running some testing while we do so), but the results of the testing such as the share allocation and payout will not occur until after the current processes are finished, which should take another 7hours or so, if all finishes well. Which means your mining and hashes will be recorded in the DataBase and will be paid out when the completion of the update process occurs, but it will be at your own discretion as we cannot guarantee the process will complete without hitch. We can take the risk of mining before it completes, but that is our decision to take that risk while the hashrate and the diff is currently so low.

BERNCash pool is now also out of maintenance and is running as it should be. When the fix for the daemon is completed, we will compile and replace the current daemon with it. Until then, the pool will continue running in the fashion it is, where the daemon/wallet will be restarted every hour or so due to the RPC lockout issues it currently suffers from.

Will post updates as they occur.

#crysx

Long time in the making. Is DNR coming back to your pool?

Yup ...

That is next on the list BEFORE Carsen brings back TOR in the compilation ;)

Will be working on that pool on Tuesday or Wednesday as well as the others (BTX, PGX, etc) the rest of the week. The newer coins will be started after that, as we still require the testing component of the migrated pools to the new servers (hence the birth of Pyroxene (theMINE)), so they will all start out as 'beta' (blue colour) which only means it hasn't gone right through our 'burn in' process of testing. The OP will be updated with the details and mining parameters when time permits, but we should have DNR added in the next few days.

If there are requests of pools that you would like to see, if we can get it done and we agree that it should be part of Pyroxene, it will be. Just let us know the coin or list of coins you would like to see.

Thanks,

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - BERNCASH | SWEEPSTAKECOIN

Hi All ...

Both BernCash and SweepStakeCoin Pools are now up to date.

Maintenance on BERN has finished, and Pool is running well.

Fix and Maintenance on SWEEP has only just completed, and is running smooth again. All payouts have been sorted, and the PPLNS shares and blocks have been caught up.

Mining is operational, and we are looking forward to the longevity of our new pools on our new platform.

#crysx

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - SWEEPSATKECOIN

Hi All ...

We need to have some maintenance done on the SweepStakeCoin Mine, so maintenance mode is now in effect.

We will bring theMINE back online as soon as the maintenance has finished. Please excuse this inconvenience, but we are building a better mining system overall, and these interruptions will happen from time to time. We just apologize for the very short notice this time, but we needed to force maintenance immediately to alleviate any possible issues we were seeing slowing starting.

Normally, a time window would be given and published here (originally in the CWI-Thread), and will continue to happen apart from what we deem as urgent. Like this time.

Thanks for your patience,

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - INFLUXCOIN

Hi All ...

Now that there is a break in the mining of the CWI-Pool InfluxCoin (the old pool), and no one is actually mining there now, we have turned off the stratum to this old pool and ask that you start a new account (register) on the new Mining Platform - Pyroxene.

The new InfluxCoin pool is ready and has been fully tested. It is still in 'beta' designation as the community mining has not been tested thoroughly as yet, so we encourage those that wish to mine INFX, do so at the new Official CWI-Pool InfluxCoin on the brand new Mining Platform - Pyroxene.

To register and start mining on Pyroxene, please click the link in the list located here - http://pool.chainworksindustries.com/

The old pool will still be accessible via - http://pool.chainworksindustries.com/infx/ - so that you can remove your coins from ANY of the mining accounts you have on this pool. The old pool WILL be terminated after we allocate a date, but we have allowed ample time to withdraw all you coins from the pool wallets to offline wallets of your own, or exchange wallets.

PLEASE do this as soon as possible, as when we allocate a date for termination of the old pools, the wallet is terminated along with it, and ANY remaining coins WILL be destroyed with the wallet. So we urge you all who have been mining here to take heed of this notice, and get your coins out ASAP.

Thanks,

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - BERN

Hi All ...

We have suspended the payouts and scripts for BernCash currently due to what seems to be a fork with the daemon.

We shall also cease mining via the stratum, so that we can investigate the issue, and if it so happens to be a fork in the blockchain, then we will restart the sync from scratch. This can take several days, but is the safest way of resyncing to the main chain.

As you all know, we have had to restart the daemon just under every hour so that the RPC connection issue the daemon currently has, is alleviated every hour on restart. This is the 'workaround' that we have had to undertake for the pool until a permanent fix for the daemon can be found. Steven has released multiple updates, which seem to run flawlessly for a while, then fails at RPC connectivity after an undefined and varied time frame. This 'workaround' we have had in place seemed to have work thus far, but now (thanks to a diligent miner) have noticed that quite a few blocks back, the pool daemon is not on the same chain as the Block Explorer.

Due to this, the block at where the pool daemon forked from, meant that we all have been mining 'dead' coins as they don't exist on the main chain. These will be lost, this includes ALL of the coins we have been mining alongside everyone also for our own wallets. So our mining stratum (Obsidian) will be stopped, so that mining stops, effective immediately. This will ensure that no more coins mined on this wrong chain will be 'lost'.

Please have some patience while the wallet resyncs, and hopefully not have too many coins go missing in the meantime while the 'right' chain is being synced.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may occur, but unfortunately, such is the nature of the CryptoIndustry.

#crysx

Good luck bro. ;) I want newbie here, nice to talk to you.

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - OLD CWI-POOL

Hi All ...

As of Midnight June 30 2018 Adelaide time (check google timezone to you), the old CWI-Pool Server (http://pool.chainworksindustries.com/<coin>/) will be terminated and all wallets current will effectively be terminated with the server.

This means that ALL mining on the old CWI-Pool will effectively cease mining within the next 3 days (ending Wednesday 23 June 2018). Please remove all miners from the old CWI-Pool system, and relocate them to alternative pools, or the new pools that exist on the new Pyroxene platform. To date, there are only a few more pools to be migrated across, and we should soon have all the old pools based on the Pyroxene Platform.

When Obsidian is ceased (our mining stratum) on the old CWI-Pool system on the 23rd June 2018, the grace period till the end of the 30th June to remove ALL your coins located in any of the accounts will come to and end, and in customary CWI Termination procedures, the wallets will be terminated within days afterwards also, burning all the coins contained in those wallets. So it is IMPERATIVE that you remove ALL coins that have been mined from the pool accounts as soon as you possibly can.

The new Pyroxene Platform mining system menu is located here - http://pyroxene.chainworksindustries.com/ - and will remain this URL henceforth.

We are thankful to have such a loyal and cohesive miner community, and are continuously improving the new Pyroxene Platform so that it can grow and become one of the stable and diverse mining platforms in existence for all miners to utilize.

Thank You.

#crysx

Is the bern pool dead?   No life seen since 6/11/18.  Under continuous maintenance?

At the moment - yes ...

We have been trying to work around the BERN daemon issue on the pool and it was fine for a long while, but ended badly in a fork. Now that we have refreshed, and finished a full resync, the pool DB is not balanced.

Steven has kindly replenished the funds for the pool payouts, but nothing is going through due to the massive discrepancies in the DB and the daemon now. So we are trying to get the discrepancies adjusted currently, but even that seems to be a dead end. The only way we can see out of this is to wipe the DB clean and start the pool over again, but that would mean destroying the coins with it. If you are a miner (which you definitely are) and have coins that were destroyed in the fork, then I would advise you send us a snapshot of the 'accounts' page of your profile so that we can reconcile the exact amount to the wallet.

We do apologize for the delay, but unless the coins contained in the wallet are matched to the miners that have been mining it, then they too will be lost. With your miners being one of the largest, we may be able to reimburse the majority of coins (again, thanks to Steven for the reimbursement of BERN for the current pool wallet), and we then can restart the DB and pool system again with the newest BERN daemon compile. So far, what we have seen is that the majority of coins that have been lost/reimbursed are the CWI mined coins, with the smaller amounts already paid out prior to the fork, which is a good thing. Thins means that the CWI-Mining was the main victim to the fork, and not the rest of the users. It seems you all are diligent in the payout of the coins mined, than we are currently. CWI-Mining will follow suit when the pool is restarted.

If the few miners that were on the pool have no issue (including you) to restart the DB again, we will wipe the records clean and restart the pool as soon as we reimburse what we can see are your legitimate coins.

Let us know here,

#crysx

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - OLD CWI-POOL

Hi All ...

Just a reminder with regards to the old CWI-Pool system.

We requested an extension for the server so we could allow a longer period of time for everyone to remove ALL coins from ALL pools before this pool server is gone forever, and all the wallets are terminated.

Please do so if you have not already removed ALL your coins from ALL the pools that you have been mining on. There will be NO turning back once these pools and this server is terminated. Everything in the server WILL BE DESTROYED, so please make sure that every coin that is still waiting to be moved, will be moved to your personal wallets, or exchange wallets.

The server will be removed on the 13th of July 2018 at midnight Adelaide, South Australia, Australia timezone, and subsequently terminated shortly after.

The current new servers are now active on the Pyroxene (theMINE) platform, and it is this platform that all the mines will be rebuilt. As far as the coins that have not been migrated across to Pyroxene, we are still considering whether we will create all the coin mines on Pyroxene. One thing is for certain, and that Pyroxene WILL continue to grow.

We thank you all once again for using our facilities, and hope that our systems have helped create a better mining experience, as we are sure Pyroxene (theMINE) will.

The old pools are still accessible here - http://old-pool.chainworksindustries.com/<coin>/

### Pyroxene (theMINE) - Citrine

Hi All ...

We have now begun trialling our Yiimp based pool system on Pyroxene (theMINE) Platform.

If anyone is interested in testing/mining the Yiimp Mine (Citrine), please do so and pass on the invitation to anyone that wants to help with it also.

We will be adding many more coins in the very near future for both the MPOS based and Yiimp based Mines, so use both as thoroughly, and as heavily as you want to. The harder you push, the better so we can see how it handles on a performance and stability level. It will be appreciated to run these systems to their limits so we can see what we will need to do to improve them even further.

### PYROXENE (theMINE) - CITRINE | CWI NEWEST MINE (YIIMP BASED)

Hi All ...

The new Yiimp based pool system (Citrine) is currently active and running.

We are inviting anyone that wishes to test and mine on this pool thoroughly, so that if there are any issues, we can iron them out quickly. It is based on Yiimp code with a small twist in the backend to cater to our Pyroxene Platform and setup. So it should work solid, stable and efficiently, with little or no delays in response times and mining times.

Help us test and mine on here, so that we can make a much better (and long term) pool system that miners can rely on, which is now all on the Pyroxene Platform.

Citrine is here - http://citrine.chainworksindustries.com/

We look forward to making the Citrine (Yiimp) Mine as robust as we can possibly do. Many more coins are being built, so keep checking in, and requesting.

The Amethyst (MPOS) Mine is currently stable and growing with coin additions as we commit to adding them, for those that like the 'stats candy' that MPOS has been renowned for.

NJOI!

### Pyroxene (theMINE) - BOTH MINES NOW IN FULL PRODUCTION

Hi All ...

The two mines that are currently being used (or not used as the case may be) that CWI have implemented is in effect, active and placed in full production. Within the coming weeks, they will be updated with new coins to mine, and your suggestions as to which coins should be added to both will be seriously considered. We hope to provide the same coins in both Mines, but if that is not possible for one reason or another, then we will add the coin of choice to which ever pool can possibly cater for that coin, in order to grow and extend our mining repertoire to the scale that this infrastructure that Pyroxene (theMINE) was built for.

The main link for Pyroxene is below, and will be updated shortly to reflect the addition of BOTH Mines - MPOS based (Profile/Account specific) and Yiimp based (Address/Anonymous specific) Mines.

### CWI-PYROXENE (theMINE) - ALL MINES

Hi All ...

Recently we have had a couple of small issues with the functionality of the Mines we currently run on the Pyroxene platform. Of the issues, most of them have been fixed and the everyday running of the Mines seem to have fallen back into place, bar a one particular issue. This initially seemed to be a permission issue in a couple of the files, but now seems to be a more persistent issue causing readability problems via the DataBase and Mine system, such as Statistics and other data.

We are looking into this further to locate the issue before it becomes a problem, and will resolve this issue as soon as we have a fix for it.

Until then, the SWEEP Mine is undergoing maintenance currently, but is not closed/suspended for maintenance. The block count for the PPLNS calculations is WAY behind in processing blocks, and is a few hours away catching up. The process does stop occasionally, and requires a restart with a small fix on the stuck block it comes to. An eye is being kept on it, and it should be back to normal functionality very soon.

The OZC Mine is in a similar situation, but with the issue being predominantly focused on the email accessibility.

We are hoping the fix for these issues will be soon, and will inform you when it happens. Until then, the mining itself is all good, and still running well. We will be fixing these issues before moving onto building any more Mines for any coins.

In the worst case scenario where we will be required to rebuild any of the Mines, we will make sure that current wallets are not affected and have full backups as such.

Thanks!

#crysx

### CWI-PYROXENE (theMINE) - MPOS BRANCH

Hi All ...

In the next two days (ending 30th November 2018), will start the procedures to decommission the MPOS production branch of theMINE under the Pyroxene platform (specifically the Amethyst Servers), and move it to experimental/internal branch in CWI which is off the Pyroxene platform.

The reasons for this are many, but the decision has been made to move forward with the Yiimp Based format for production use, and continue with this line of development, on this codebase.

This will mean a few things for those that have been using our MPOS Mines.

- The mining to these current Mines will be suspended while we migrate the entire system to an inhouse service, and off the production service.
- The Mines themselves will continue up until the 30th November 2018, when the stratums will be shutdown in preparation for backup and internal relocation.
- All coins are preferred to be removed from the Mines if you have coins sitting in the Mine itself. We will not take responsibility over the loss for any reason during the decommission/relocation.
- The MPOS Mines will be moved to internal servers, for internal use/testing. This stage will also mean that ALL coins in the Mines will have to be moved to their respective owners, and off the Mines, as they will not be available to the public.
- As miners ourselves, we are focusing on the mining arena in an indepth way. So we may from time to time open the experimental Mines for testing purposes, and/or pre-testing use, for mining to the public.

We have used and worked with MPOS and the inhouse build of the Stratum (Obsidian) for many years now, and need to take this on a more internal level for any possible future developments. In saying that however, the Yiimp basecode we use is slightly different to the 'normal' one in the Yimp-tpruvot Git, and as such is more the basecode we will continue with in the near future. Things may change over time, and are more than likely to do so, but that is all part of the growth and progression of Crypto in general, and within CWI.

We thank you all who have used our MPOS Mines, and look forward to you migrating your hashpower to the newer Yiimp based mine which we affectionately called the BazImp code, though no official codename has been given as yet. This Mine is stablished on the Citrine Servers, and is located here - http://citrine.chainsworksindustries.com/

#crysx

### CWI-PYROXENE (theMINE) - MPOS BRANCH

Hi All ...

Tonight we will be shutting down the mining stratum (Obsidian) for the MPOS branch in the production Servers in Pyroxene. Please forward your hashrate to the CWI Main Mine on the Citrine Servers after today, and remove ALL your coins from the MPOS Branch Mines.

The MPOS Mines will continue to stay up for a few more days so that you may remove your coins to local wallets or Exchanges, but no more mining will be permitted on the MPOS branch after tonight Friday 30th November 2018 (Adelaide Time).

The main link for the Main CWI Mine is here - http://citrine.chainworksindustries.com/

All the functional coins that have been on the MPOS branch (Amethyst Servers), have been relocated to Citrine Servers. With the exception of SweepStakeCoin (SWEEP) which is still currently syncing and will be active as soon as sync is completed, the relocated coins are functional and ready to receive what ever hashrate you are willing to throw at it. The Citrine Mine is a non-registration Mine, therefore an account is not needed for mining.


Currently, the following coins can be immediately mined on Citrine (in Alphabetical order)...

sCrypt
- DonationCoin (DON)

Tribus
- Denarius (D)

X11
- CreamCoin (CRM)
- Granite (GRN)
- InfluxCoin (INFX)
- OzzieCoin (OZC)
- Pagarex (PGX)

X14
- BernCash (BERN)


Many more coins will be added as we consider which coins are eligible for addition to the CWI Citrine Mine.

Your assistance with this migration is very much appreciated, and we thank you for using the MPOS Branch of the CWI Mine System. This MPOS Branch will now be positioned off the Production System/Servers as an internal Experimental/Developmental Branch for CWI. We are continuing work and development on the Citrine Mine as our main focus now, and changes will be added to the Citrine Mine as we progress, so check in regularly.

If there are any issues, please inform us here, our Discord Group, or on the newly created Skype open Discussion Group (starting Monday 03rd December). As always, IRC is available (even if rarely used by most people) for any messages but please be very patient with IRC as we check that intermittently. All links for communication (in fact any information pertaining to CWI) will be published in the main CWI BCT Thread here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1563601

Thanks and enjoy the new CWI Citrine Mine!

### CWI-PYROXENE (theMINE) - CITRINE

Hi All ...

As you may have noticed, the Citrine Mine is down for the count, but is not out.

There was an issue that locked the system, and now that the issue has been resolved, we are working on getting the Mine itself up again with all wallets and coins intact. This is a tedious and long process, but Citrine will be up and running as soon as we have all the components up, running and thoroughly tested.

Please bear with us in this time, as we cannot estimate how long this will take. An hour or many hours, we just cannot estimate. One thing we can state is that Citrine will come back online as soon as we are satisfied that it is stable and fully functional.

We appreciate your patience.

### CWI-PYROXENE (theMINE) - CITRINE

Hi All ...

Well - it seems that the issue was a problem after all.

Massive corruption was imminent through out the entire Droplet/VPS server, and this did not seem to be a Digital Ocean issue. In fact, to get to the bottom of the issue, we thoroughly searched through what could have been a no-mans-land of an OS. Unfortunately, not much could have been saved or salvaged, and ever though we backed up the wallets, they too seemed to be corrupted. Thankfully not many coins were contained in these wallets, but we have them internally now and we are working towards the resurrection of these wallets to see if there is anything we can salvage from them, hoping that the data corruption is reversible.

As of a few moments ago, the Droplet/VPS has been blown away, in a 'just in case' preventative measure, so that Citrine can be rebuilt from the ground up. The Lead Dev @barrystyle is hard at work currently with the rebuild, and we should be running with a new OS build, a new wallet build, and a new Mine as a whole.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, and if we can retrieve any coins left in those wallets (two of them that were being mined at the time (BERN and GRN  - all other coins in wallets were paid out), we will endeavour to send what was owed to the addresses in the DB (if in fact that too can be resurrected). If not, the small amount of coin that were contained in those two wallets will have been lost to the CryptoNeverVerse.

Please bear with us as we get Citrine back up and running, and check back over the next few hours.

#crysx

any progress on getting citrine back up?

Citrine is back up ...

You just had to keep checking the URL - though not all the coins we would have liked are back up with it. We are working through it though and as we progress, we will have more and more coins that we would like to support on Citrine, as well as all our own coins.

So far, the all but OZC currently seem to be functioning without issue. OZC still has some teething issues that need to be cut through, but if you see the list, we have successfully mined quite a few OZC, it just seems that TOO MANY out there have not updated to the latest wallet, which is necessary to be able to mine and transfer coins. The rest seem to be doing fine, with SWEEP syncing currently.

What coins were you looking for to mine? Suggestions are most welcome and we will put them on the list for consideration. So far we have about 25 more coins we would like to add one by one.

Is Denarius going back up on citrine?

It will when we can fully test ...

There were some real issues with the stability of the daemon, and we had to take it off. We do know how reliable Carsen is with updates, so once we can get the latest daemon compiled and stable, we will have DNR back on. We do not ever want any coins lost, for any reason, if we can help it. So we always err on the side of caution and keep to the precautionary mantra we have always followed.

DNR is one of the coins we support, so we will always work on getting it running on our systems. Citrine is going through an expansion in January also, so we will have a number of coins added shortly.

### CWI-PYROXENE (theMINE) - CITRINE

Hi All ...

SweepStakeCoin (SWEEP) is now running and active on Citrine. Via testing, we have observed that the SWEEP mine itself is generating a number of Blocks, but a few of them are orphaning due to the number of blocks being created worldwide from PoS and other PoW sources, such as other private Mining Pools and Solo Mining wallets.

Currently however, it seems to be running reasonably well, and is open to the public for anyone that wishes to mine SWEEP for themselves.

SWEEP uses the JHA algo, so please make sure that the miner you use has the ability to process JHA on port 4633.

An example of ccminer in Linux is below ...


Obviously change and add the different parameters that pertain to your miner, but that is the basis of the parameters for most ccminer, and ccminer descendants (ie - some private miners available).

Have Fun!

### CWI-PYROXENE (theMINE) - CITRINE

Hi All ...

ESPERS (ESP) is now running and active on Citrine.

Currently running well in testing, and is open to the public for anyone that wishes to mine ESP.

ESPERS uses the HMQ1725 algo, so please make sure that the miner you use has the ability to process HMQ1725 on port 3499.

An example of ccminer in Linux is below ...


Obviously change and add the different parameters that pertain to your miner, but that is the basis of the parameters for most ccminer, and ccminer descendants (ie - some private miners available).

### PYROXENE - MINING RENTALS

Hi All ...

Update here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1563601.msg51608209#msg51608209

We have allocated components of theFARM towards the rental market. We hope this will help the communities with securing a reliable, solid mining addition to your own mining experience. These are the same units that are used for mining in CWI theFARM itself.

### PYROXENE - CHRYSOLITE MINE

Hi All ...

We have had the pleasure of not only creating, but also testing at length the newest evolution of our Mining Systems - Chrysolite Mine.

Chrysolite Mine has been under construction for some time now, which has had a number of changes since its inception. In fact, being based on uNOMP Mining Pool, one of the main developers of the original uNOMP Mining Pool is now one of the main Developers of Chrysolite Mine as it stands today, and also one of the main contributors to this line of Mining Systems for CWI. As part of theTEAM, he has played an integral role in making Chrysolite Mine come to life, and his tireless work thus far has maintained the stability and steadfastness of Chrysolite Mine, as well as it's brute power.

Chrysolite Mine is still placed in Beta, as we are refining and adding to it, more than just looking and ironing bugs that still exist, so that Chrysolite Mine becomes a better mining experience for all who use our service.

The Specifications are set out below, so please not only trial, but use Chrysolite Mine extensively. The Coins and Algorithms that are chosen will be a continuous addition to Chrysolite Mine. For any recommendations to what Coin and Algorithm additions you would like to mine here, please post or PM.


Chrysolite Mine Specifications ...

- URL/Address - http://chrysolite.chainworksindustries.com/
- uNOMP based with CWI specific changes and backend developments.
- Non-Registration Mining.
- MultiAlgo and MultiCoin.
- Mine Fee is 0.3% static for all Coins and Algorithms.

Algorithms/Coins currently active are ...

X11
- granite GRN
- OzzieCoin OZC
- InfluxCoin INFX

X14
- BernCash BERN

JHA
- SweepStakeCoin SWEEP is still in devAlpha level and is not functional, so please do not use for the moment. It is merely there for developmental purposes while we create and move it to the DevMine System.

Please check the 'Getting Started' Menu Item BEFORE you setup your miners for the correct Stratum and Ports. This is crucial.

Many more additions will be forthcoming, especially if we can add your preference/recommended coins to Chrysolite Mine. Please let us know what you think, and what experiences you have with Chrysolite, as we are aiming Chrysolite Mine to be our main HiCap Mine (High Capacity Mine). This can only be achieved with your cooperation and help.

We hope you enjoy using Chrysolite Mine!

where is the coin traded? ???

What do you mean? ...

What coin are you referring to?

#crysx

granite GRN and OZC

All our coins ( GRN OZC INFX SWEEP) are traded in one place ...

Except for DRZ (which is being worked on to get it on this exchange as well) is traded here - http://zapple.com/exchange

This is a small and low volume Exchange which has started it's growth mechanism, of which CWI are a part as well. Very low volume does not mean low speed, or low quality. The development of the Exchange is continuing and small goals are being reach every quarter of the year.

OZC itself is in a major standstill due to Billions of OZC being locked and held in Cryptopia Administration Accounts.

Keep an eye on this exchange, as it will prove to be a valuable asset system in the future. Good things always take time.

Thank you

### PYROXENE - AMETHYST MINE

Hi All ...

Amethyst Mine is now built, fully functional and tested with currently two of our coins - granite (GRN) and InfluxCoin (INFX).

Internal testing has proven their stability and functionality, so the Amethyst Mine is now open to the public. Direct Access to these separate Mines are available until the CWI Amethyst Landing Page is setup and fully functional. There are a number of other coins about to be added, and some of these coins' wallets are being setup momentarily. Their respective Mines will follow shortly. So if you want to help use/test Amethyst Mine for Load, Access and Aesthetics, please setup up an account and follow the instructions on how to get started Mining. As this is a Single Sign On (SSO) Mine, the one account will access all the Mines, including all future coins that are setup under Amethyst Mine.

Feedback is always welcome, so please make it honest and constructive so that we can improve Amethyst Mine and improve it to make a more pleasant experience for all who wish to Mine here. Suggestions for coins to add and additions to be made are very welcome also.

To access the two current pools, please navigate directly to them via their respective URLs here -

granite (GRN) - http://grn.chainworksindustries.com/
InfluxCoin (INFX) - http://infx.chainworksindustries.com/

We hope you have a great experience with the new CWI Amethyst Mine.
