Are you up for experimenting and be part of the next big thing? Maybe doing something relevant AND fun, while still mining coins?
Then you might want to try the BANANO Mining Faucet at https://bananominer.com ;)

We have started the BANANO Miner 1 month ago to serve as one out of many active faucets for ongoing free and fair BANANO distribution. Since then it's been an unbelievable success:
Team BANANO is leading the monthly Folding@Home team rankings, and we already reached the Top 25 of more than 200k total teams! That's quite a relevant contribution to medical research, and still is an awesome way to distribute BANANO in a free and fair way.

Just in this 1 month, we have distributed BANANO worth more than 62000 USD (!) just with this faucet. Just to be clear, BANANO doesn't require mining natively, it's a DAG memecoin and a fork of NANO (formerly Raiblocks).

All details and answers are collated in this announcement:

I can't find the list of the mining pools for banano and can I get one from you? I'm interested to mine this one and let me know if you have a good recommendation for me which is best mining pool to mine banano. But sadly this one is not yet listed on CMC.

I don't know exactly what you are looking for. There are two BANANO Mining Faucets active right now, and several other faucets:

BANANO Miner: Earn BANANO while contributing to medical research, CPU&GPU, Folding@Home. See more info also above.
https://bananominer.com

BANANO Powerplant: Browser-based altcoin CPU mining paying in BANANO.
https://powerplant.banano.cc

Both are probably Mining Pools in that sense, but both "mine" something else and pay in BANANO if you want to simplify it.

Clear recommendation is to:
1) Go to https://bananominer.com
2) Register with your BANANO address (starting with ban_). If you don't have an address yet get help at https://banano.how
3) Note down your username and the teamname shown
4) Install the folding@home desktop client from https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/
5) Put in your username and the teamname
6) Get a folding@home passkey from https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/points/passkey/
7) Put in the passkey into your desktop client
8) Get BANANO approximately every 12 hours

Otherwise we will be listed at CMC as soon as possible. We are on total 5 Exchanges, with one being on CMC and 4 having applied weeks ago. Unfortunately CMC takes weeks to months to evaluate projects currently.

Further discussion also here at bitcointalk:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5134772.0

Hello bantano! Tell me, will the payments for folding gradually decrease after a certain period of time? Or will the algorithm for calculating payments remain the same for a long time? If I often pause, does it significantly affect the reduction of payments or not?

I'm glad that there will be coming 4 new exchanges, I feel like things are unfolding now like what happened to Mrai back three years ago, I'm sure history will repeat and Banano will reach $1 in the future.

Haha thanks for believing that, we're definitely aiming to bring crypto to much more people by making everything simple and smooth, and making it easy and fun for everyone to obtain.

Correction re exchanges: We are on total 5 exchanges right now (overview at coingecko or at http://exchange.banano.how ) and I was just referring to 4 of those exchanges not being on CMC yet, which is the reason why we can't apply yet. Coins need to be traded on 2 exchanges that are listed on CMC, which is not the case yet. But it hopefully won't last long.
The ratio of folding@home points to BANANO is subject to change over time, but is not always increasing. Also, it is not linear. We are closely monitoring how many people use the miner faucet and adjust to make sure the rewards are as fair as possible for everyone (i.e. not one large mining pool in China would get 90% of the payout), and to make sure the BANANO liquidity is not impacted too much.

Hope that helps for now, you can find many people discussing and comparing payouts on a daily base in the respective channel on our discord server (20k+ members, join at https://chat.banano.cc).

Team $BANANO now made it to the @foldingathome All-Time Top 20 (of 228595) just 5 weeks after starting the BANANO Miner Faucet!
Thanks for supporting #cancerresearch while earning freely distributed $BANANO!

Update here at Twitter:
https://twitter.com/bananocoin/status/1129433167960694785

no other tool (https://bananominer.com/) to mine? I use lilux

You mean Linux?

Sure, just check the FAQ at the bottom of page, install desktop client from here:
https://foldingathome.org/start-folding/

I like cpu mining coins specially which have webminer. Anyone here mining this coin ? How many coins per day can be mined using an ordinary desktop?

'Ordinary' desktop PCs can be quite different, but with https://BananoMiner.com you'll probably get like 50-200 per day with desktop client and passkey set. Less with browser only.
With https://powerplant.banano.cc/ mining faucet you'll probably get about half of that.

But it varies, maybe try it out for a few days.

Fold proteins on a cpu? Awesome for medical research!

Also by the looks of it you can set this up as something you could do on the side for your gpu mining rig. It also doesn't look like it uses too much electricity.

Fully agree :)

I have it running all the time in the background on 'medium' setting while working for weeks now and didn't experience any problems so far.

Thanks for the reply. I will try it out and see. I have one more doubt. I have 3 computers in my home. Can I mine in 3 computers with one wallet address or I need to provide different wallet address for each one. ?

You can mine from several computers, no problem at all!

I have vps in gcloud, 1 instance with 8vcpu and currently folding, wanna ask if i break it into 4 instances @2vcpu each will it give me same reward?

If you have a computer shop you are on a big edge of if you own a company that has a lot of computers, you can make a side income just mining Banano, but of course you will have to wait sometime before it will have a good value in the market, price is not really that attractive right now, but a fee less transaction is something that Banano has an edge over other the top coins in the market.

Basically yes, but the payment will not go up linearly.

It seems to me that the rewards for folding are reduced.  I've seen it in the last two weeks. Am I wrong?

The result will be the same and there will be no a lot of differences. but are you serious to use your gcloud account to mine crypto? im sure if you will be banned by gcloud service after they are seeing your activity through how hot your processor that is being used to mine crypto.

They are monitored and adjusted from time to time as others join in and it's evaluated to try an keep things fair. Also for ongoing and free sustainable distribution.

The rewards have been adjusted and mostly reduced gradually over the first weeks for sure, we started quite high and need to make sure distribution is going controlled and not too fast.

Not sure about last two weeks though, if you want to ask others the most efficient way is to ask others for their experience in our discord (22k members) in the channel #fah-miner.

Banano Discord: https://chat.banano.cc

I've seen many people mentioning this actually, but agree they won't like it when they notice.

I think if cpu is not used 100% it will be ok, as my usage is 70-80%. That's also why i use it for folding, not real mining. 6 days already folding and hope not get banned until all my free credit get used

Not sure about that because only the service provider can determine that, remember they can check it anytime and as per their ToS and mining is not allowed.



that's indeed caused by that will be forced the computer to use all of its time lifespans to mine crypto. Some people have already discussed this and they only get pennies from there.

I wanna say spent a little money to buy second-hand GPU is much better than it.

Hi everybody,

FYI: i created a script to run folding@home in the azure-cloud, which you can use to earn Banano as the OP described. Check out my post at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147260 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147260)

By the way: my experience with Azure and GCloud is that they don't really care what you are using the VMs for, as long as you have entered a valid credit-card in your account (e.g. after entering your credit-card you can use up the free credits you get for signing up. You'll just have to switch off your VMs once your credit is exhausted, otherwise you'll get billed according to your usage).
The same applies if you have a legit MSDN-subscription (e.g. paid for by your employer): you can burn your free credits anyway you wish (in this case even without entering a credit-card).

Hi! Tell me when you will pay the winnings after this round of the game? For example, in a few days or tomorrow..

Payments will be sent - as always - a few days after the faucet round ends since we need to eliminate bots and cheaters before. Just give it a few days.

Here's an update from the game dev at our discord:

"Score list (before bot/cheaters eliminated): https://gist.github.com/justdmitry/552d1b01123e62d9204b16a253577376. Check yourself.

Some users may notice a slightly increased value (comparing to in-game score) due to "night" bug with losing score after "You are playing with several tabs..." message and Restart. Max increase 98 BANs, average 14 BAN, total 4K BANs."

Thank you, sir. Found myself on the list. The numbers match the ones in the game. When do you plan to make the next round of the black monkey?

No problem. Next round is not scheduled yet and depends on different factors. Easiest way to stay updated is via discord, twitter, Reddit or telegram I'd say.

it seems legit and very attravtive concept, trying to bring fresh mining purpose especially in helathcare world. i have to learn everything about BANANO from now on, let me see if my CPU spec can support to mine this potential thing, i think its still easy to mine right now before too late. the problem with me  all this time is electricity bill in my country are very expensibe, let mme make calculation if this profitable so i will not rethink again to start mining BANANO.

Let me ask if what algo is banano coin to mine?

Do you is it supported on other GPU mining software? Just found this recently on google while looking for Nano coin forks.

But the problem I'm trying to mine this but I can't find a pool on miningpoolstats.stream it seems that this is not yet listed. Can you added this coin there and added more pools?

Needs to read everything from the site and check it yourself if you will be able to compensate from this coin, it's very important to know
what will be the benefits and how long it will take before you can earned decent amount from this project.

Banano used blake2b algo. you can use the software that already mentioned on bananominer.com and that's very easy to follow all of the steps.
For your last question and someone already talked above you and you just need to read the whole of posts again.

The popular $BANANO Faucet Game 'Black Monkey' starts its 8th round on June 5 and will run for 25 hours only!

All details here:
https://www.publish0x.com/banano/get-free-banano-by-playing-our-faucet-game-black-monkey-round-8-starts-on-june-5-xkynvv?a=QJ0dNjvdLO

Accounts who played any of previous 3 games will start with their last level, all other accounts will start from level 1.

Good news. That is, round 8 will start with the same number of points that was at the end of round 7? Or is this only relevant to the game level?

Just the game level.

Two brief updates:

New Exchange Listing announcement:
https://howtobanano.info/banano-and-nano-to-be-listed-at-qtrade-exchange/

Three currently ongoing Twitter giveaways:
https://howtobanano.info/dont-miss-those-banano-giveaways-at-twitter/

I love the idea and concept of this. I will be watching this much closer!

Great news. Tell me whether you plan to listing on larger exchanges? For example on the exchange Kucoin?

Well that would surely be cool, however we are not doing any sort of ICO but give out all BANANO for free to ensure ongoing free and fair distribution.

Kucoin listing would cost like 50k USD so that's not in reach for now. We are not here for the quick buck and rather focus on sustainable growth, so for now you only can trade BANANO on smaller exchanges, but of course bigger exchanges will come at some point.

Yea don't worry about big exchanges. Just need a couple dmaller ones to give people options.

A project like Banano isn't something where you focus all your efforts on exchange listings that don't actually help that much in the longer term.

Thanks, agreed. The time for this will come at some point. For now the focus is to grow organically. Our community grows every day, and the most life of BANANO has happened in a bear market, with ongoing distribution. If community growth wouldn't catch up with distribution prices would tank totally. So far all that has worked quite well, and we are prepared for whatever will come ;)

How many points = 1 Banano ?
One of my rigs says average of 800,000 points per day. What is that in Banano?
thx

banano miner will do an automated calculation for you and I guess you can try to calculating how much point that's needed to earn 1 banano. But I believe 100 points = 1 banano coin.

I noticed Banano isn't listed on CMC, is that because not enough trading volume or not enough listing on big exchanges?

I'm sure it will come over time - interest in Banano will go up like crazy as soon as it appears on the CMC 'recently added' list.

Today 8 June will the next round of the black monkey? I learned that in discord. Or not?



banano is listed in coingecko.com

It's not and i think the main problem banano is not listed on at least 3 exchange site that was supported by CMC. That should be the main reason why banano is not even there.
CMC doesn't need a big exchange but just need at least 3 exchange sites that is integrated with CMC.

Interesting privacy method. However, it is more like a transaction mixer. But it's still better than nothing.

It's phase 1 which basically works like a mixer, then the next Phase will go a step further.

So, if the amount of coin you get depends on the amount of points you earn, how does the emission curve work? Is there even a cap?

There is no cap, but the distribution is not linear. And it's adjusted from time to time.

ok, thanks for the reply.
I got a bunch of retired GPU's. I'll see what I can do :)

Sounds awesome, let me know how it goes!

And will you try to implement the zero protocol to be used by banano? For me, mixer is good enough and i have watched all of the features that available on camo banano but i still can't understand about do we need to put the amount partially?

What happened on last payout ?
All my payouts since yesterday 19h52 are 6-8 times lower than previous values ...
https://i.imgur.com/hU2po6E.png

What is this table of values? Is this a reward for participating in the folding process? Give me, please, a source link for this table.

It's my own monitoring ...

on what do you folding, dude ?

Not sure what you mean, payout ratio is adjusted all the time based on a variety of different factors. 6-8 fold seems quite a lot tho, I'd suggest go to our discord and ask in the #fah-miner channel.

Already done but your Discord is not really a support platform ...

It's July already, and here's the 'BANANO Monthly Update July 2019'

I can't mine with a graphics card. only mining on the processor. prompt as it is possible to configure the GPU the processor?

When you download the FAH desktop client it works. Also make sure to set a passphrase to get higher awards. It's linked and explained in the FAQ on bottom of page at https://bananominer.com

The program is loaded, but mining is again on the processor. There is no way to start the video card. In settings, too, has tried not goes

Maybe you need to start with to specify the model of your video card? Screenshots of the running program also would not hurt.

https://ibb.co/4PcyBFt
Here's a screenshot. Automatically puts the processor and begins to mine without the right to select devices.

Guess you should ask at fah support directly. Seems misconfigured.

You have not answered the question about the model of your graphics card. Give me screen from this section of the program menu.

I just knew about BANANO minutes ago, so how many coins I can get per day if I use one AMD 570 4GB to mine the coin? Thank you all BANANO miners.

With one RX580 8 Gb graphics card per day mine ~390 BAN coins. I think it would be in the region of 300 coins. Give, plz, your result after one day folding.

I have only 470 and 570 4GB (not 8GB) graphic cards, so can I mined BANANO with those cards? Are there sites to estimate mining profits with BANANO coin? Appreciate your coming answer.

I don't see why you couldn't get BAN using your cards. I have not found a resource where we can see how each model GPU produces BAN per day. Try it, we'll be interested.

Something like 600-800 BAN /day

a great project, finally someone took up these terrible diseases. It's good that mining can be done on processors and video cards

Yes, this is one of those projects where the burned megawatts of electricity used work for the benefit of mankind.

with mining ceased to charge coins on the wallet, apparently with the decline of bitcoin everything went to the bottom. I hope the payments will restore and compensate the balance

This seems translated and hard to understand. Do not worry about minor volatility. Be aware rewards will vary and be adjusted all.the time. All payments will be done, and if there are delays this is no reason to worry. This normally just means a wallet needs to be refilled.

Just a quick update:

We now have an official announcement thread here at bitcointalk:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5165788

We might keep posting mining updates here, but if you want to follow news as well it's better to do it there for sure.

I try to "mine" this coin.

My results are ~1000-1200 $ban per day on i7+gtx1070 (FoldingatHome).
Now try to start "mining" on my old msi gx60 w 2 gpu (on cpu it's ok).

Also Blackmonkey game is awesome.
Just one thing - some people make more than 10k $ban per day by their owns eyes  :o It's like 10 days of "mining".

Out of curiosity i tried to search up the exchange of this coin and it do have some volume (at least).

Not bad actually but making out some money will be like forever.

Here's a sneak peek:

https://i.imgur.com/DFJpHrQ.gif

I have the last three days miner began to bring 3 times less profit! and I have not one manner, all others also reduced payments. What happened to the bananas? and the course sank

I think it's better to disable folding process on this team unless you're an enthusiast. BAN developers have reduced the payment to all.

Yes, rewards are adjusted all the time depending on various factors, that's part of the game to make it as fair as possible.

well I'm not the only one. It is time perhaps move on another coin, after all production sharply has fallen more than in 3 times. It became extremely profitable

We constantly adjust the payout mechanism according to the market situation and the number of miners. Keep in mind that every ALT coin and otherwise are in a bear market right now. I have no doubt we'll push through this one again too.

Mined for a day using R7 1700 and GTX 1060 3GB.
I received around 325 coins in that period which is not at all in the horizon of the estimation in the docs they have provided.
It will vary from computer to a computer as you may get a job with more rewarded coins than the other, uptime and other factors.

The first two days I received the reward, then I installed 2 more clien on 2 PCs and for a week now I have not received any rewards even though the bonus is still increasing.

i'm join crypto because interested on folding first, but at the end mining crypto became my obsesion and hobbies, just heard from couple years ago coin like this with similiar purpose
benefit when we helping research for humanity
