boostrap timer:

in CMD type zilminer --help then  --help-ext xxx

network still sometimes have crazy diff changes from 17 to 68Gh, when shift as that happen, expect more rejects as we have one shard free only, and on high diff we even lose that shard as whole network

its in ms so use 15000..... when share is found miner ask for next job so it decrease idle work, and some options are in seconds

you can replace miners exe (or check their md5) with the official ones and use just bat files, they are the same

You have a zip file attacked at first post also on pool which is already have bminer and zilminer configured, you just need to edit address in grin and pool bat files

blockchain today was stuck at xx99 block, and for start/stop its worst case solution as API is switiching miners

btw can u explain what each of these do? --work-timeout 10800 --report-hr=1 --clear-dag --farm-recheck 15000

work-timeout is triggered to reconect if no work is received in 10800sec
--report-hr=1 report hashrate to proxy
--clear-dag  empty GPU memory before main miner is restarted so it has full 4/8/11GB of ram available
--farm-recheck ask for new work each 15sec if no solution is found

Well duno, there is a reason as no one used sharding so far, also their node do not receive rewards but do limit community nodes out, their plan is in steps shut down guard nodes and let more community nodes in as network progress and grow

Also I am here for profit same as miners, time will tell at lest you don`t burn a lot power in this, from tech point side i think no one can say till we don`t see stability of network, sharded network for sure will offer a lot more space for transactions but will it be safe enough i don`t know

As transactions are still disabled, as miners are lazy to set up miners, as investment in pool are huge, diff is still pretty low


True, but I invested a lot more
server + 160 dual core VPS for nodes and a lots of time tweaking it so node receive some rewards per accepted share (no node do not get reward per each share as shard are very limited in space and atm devs nodes are keeping ~70% of network)

My interest is for this to work...

How can it be waste of effort? only if you think zilliqa will be worthless or pool will not payout after bootstrap period

atm one mining rig mine ~5-6 shares per day at current price its ~0.7$, as you lose almost nothing from mining primary coins, zilliqa mining is almost free on top on your coin

pls read about zilliqa mining, network diff is 30-70ghs, POW is 8 times a day with usual rig of 180Mhs you  would make 3-5 shares per day, depending on luck

Some driver on some AMD card are no good, some are happy with blockchain driver from august and some use newer

zil miner is a fork of ethminer so same issue/solutions

if anyone have issue that miner stop to receive new work pls add command at zilminer:
--work-timeout 10800

When zilliqa devs enable transactions after bootstrap mode atm 30 march is the plan

Yes that`s what miner say, maybe too match OC or miner issue

You can mine at same time both, POW will start when it time... or you can set up start/stop for aeterniti you have pack at the pool link, and need just to edit miner name and addresses in the bat files provided

if primary aeternity miner is not stoped you will lose some 30-40% hash in zilliqa
also don`t forget to add --farm-recheck 15000 to zilliqa miner

Bootstrap period is extended to end of march, more info from coin devs

https://www.reddit.com/r/zilliqa/comments/avv2ex/bootstrap_extended_up_to_end_of_march/

I don`t know, its set to be safe, also POW is atm a bit longer, coins devs are tweaking it on chain

You have my miner pack just edit bat, it works out of box with bminer

Network nodes have been updated to latest, lets hope all go nice this time

next POW will be no work, after that POW should be normal
