I created a test mining pool but the latency of submitting shares are high. Even friends that I ask just to try it agrees also. Is there something I am missing?

[Introduction]

Introduction

Zilliqa has developed a new way of mining compared to regular methods we all know of. POW is every 2-3 hours. That's right 2-3 hours. In that POW time, your miners only mine for 1 minute. I kid you not. This is to help the planet go green with mining but I am greedy and would like to use all the rest of time to mine something.

Dual Mining Zilliqa
Zilliqa miner already has a function to allow dual mining. For Zilliqa, dual mining is Mining on own coin (eth, jesus coin, grin, etc) while waiting for POW for Zilliqa. When POW is close, zilminer will stop your mining operations of eth (or any other coin you are mining) and begin to mine Zilliqa for one minute. After the minute has passed, it continues to mine your eth.

Problem

Although dual mining Zilliqa is great, it never works out the way you expect. Unexpected issues like zilminer crashing, your eth miner crashing, heck your pc crashing have been an issue from day one. Read Solution below.

Introducing Zilliqa-Switcher

Instead of your miners crashing, I offer you a solution to mine any other coin with any other miner while still making it in time to mine Zilliqa. This is a work in progress but it works well.

Instructions

Miner Numbers :
Custom Scripts = 0
Phoenix Miner = 1
Claymore = 2
SRBMiner = 3
SGMiner = 4
BMiner = 5
Gminer = 6
NiceHashMinerLegacy = 7
CCMiner = 8
TT-Miner = 9
ewbf_144 = 10
NBminer = 11
Team Red Miner = 12
Xmr-Stak = 13
MinerStat = 14 (and other miner. Eg. MinerStat + Claymore = 142, MinerStat + Phoenix = 141)
LoLMiner = 15
NiceHash Miner = 16
T-Rex = 17
SeroMiner = 18
KawPowMiner = 19
NanoMiner = 20
XMrig = 21
MiniZ = 22

Command Line


-m or --miner    This is required to let the script miner you would like to dual mine Zilliqa with. Below are the parameters to choose from. Example, -m 15 uses LolMiner + Zil.

Custom Script = 0 ,Phoenix Miner = 1 Claymore = 2, SRBMiner = 3, SGMiner = 4, BMiner = 5, GMiner = 6, NiceHash Miner Legacy = 7, CCMiner = 8, TT-Miner = 9, ewbf_144 = 10, NBminer = 11, Team Red Miner = 12, Xmr-Stak = 13, MinerStat = 14, LolMiner = 15, NiceHash Miner = 16, T-Rex = 17, SeroMiner = 18


-r or --run   This is required to start your Miner (chosen with -m). Not required for custom scripts option. Either use an exe or bat. Example -r PhoenixMiner.exe  or -r start.bat

-a or --address    This is required to mine Zilliqa to your correct address. New or old format works. Example  -a 0xe511b07b68681d4501665De40cf6A734f05da94f

-w or --worker   This is your miner name for mining Zilliqa. This is optional. If left empty, it uses your PC Name


Custom Script Explanation

This is for users that would like to use their own scripts to open and close their miner of choice.

-r or --run   Is not to be used for this.

-s or --start   Used to stop your miner. This should be a bat file.  Example  -s stop.bat

-e or --end    Used to start your miner. Example -e ewbf_144.exe  or --end start.bat

But... I used the old format to run this script

We have you covered, we have added backward compatibility. When you update to the newest version, you old scripts should work (PM @kidkid1 if you have issues or PM me here)


Examples

Example #1: zil_switcher.exe  -m 1 -r miner.bat  -a 0xe511b07b68681d4501665De40cf6A734f05da94f

Example #2: zil_switcher.exe -m 2 -r EthDcrMiner64.exe  -a zil1u5gmq7mgdqw52qtxthjqea48xnc9m22067k4gf

Example #3: zil_switcher.exe -m 2  -r EthDcrMiner64.exe -a zil1u5gmq7mgdqw52qtxthjqea48xnc9m22067k4gf -w miner1

Example #4: zil_switcher.exe -m 1  -r start.bat -a 0xe511b07b68681d4501665De40cf6A734f05da94f -w win_miner

Example #5: zil_switcher.exe -m 0 -a 0xe511b07b68681d4501665De40cf6A734f05da94f -s stop.bat -e start.bat


Run outside of Command Line

Download Zilminer, Download your other miner (let's say Claymore), Download Zilliqa-Switcher
Extract all files from all three downloaded packages in the same folder.
Optional: Create an eth.bat script if you need to.
Run Zilliqa-Switcher
First option, choose your miner
Second option, choose how you run your miner, either using only exe or using a bat file (created in step 3)
Third option if you chose bat file, enter the name of the bat file, (eth.bat , grin.bat)
Forth option, enter your Zilliqa Address. This can be the old formart Zil address or New Format Zil Address
That's it

For Awesome Miner

First, be sure that API is activated in Awesomeminer.
 
Screenshot

Zil_Switcher start commandline:
 
Zil_Switcher.exe -m 0 --wallet ******** --worker ****** -s stop.bat -e start.bat
 
Wallet and Worker not really needed, but you need it that the Zilswitcher start.
 
 
Now the 2 scripts to stop the main miner and start the Zilminer
 
start.bat
 
curl -i -d POST http://[IP_AWESOMEMINER_MAIN_PC]:17790/api/miners/[MINERID]?action=stop       #stop main miner in Awesomeminer(miniZ,Gminer,lolminer etc)
 
curl -i -d POST http://[IP_AWESOMEMINER_MAIN_PC]:17790/api/miners/[MINERID]?action=start #start zilliqa miner in Awesomeminer  
 
stop.bat
 
curl -i -d POST http://[IP_AWESOMEMINER_MAIN_PC]:17790/api/miners/[MINERID]?action=stop   #stop zilliqa miner in Awesomeminer  
 
curl -i -d POST http://[IP_AWESOMEMINER_MAIN_PC]:17790/api/miners/[MINERID]?action=start #start main miner in Awesomeminer(miniZ,Gminer,lolminer etc)

 
MinerID can found in Awesomeminer summary tab

Screenshot

https://prnt.sc/pmgzi2

Example:
 
start.bat curl -i -d POST http://192.168.2.113:17790/api/miners/37?action=stop curl -i -d POST http://192.168.2.113:17790/api/miners/48?action=start
 
stop.bat curl -i -d POST http://192.168.2.113:17790/api/miners/48?action=stop curl -i -d POST http://192.168.2.113:17790/api/miners/37?action=start
 
Another way where you only need one miner in Awesomemine, is to change the template via API.  If needed i make a documentation.
 
I am sure, now there are so many ways. Find your own way or ask me
 
If your windows doesn´t have curl, then you find it online as portable version.

What Is Zilliqa?

Zilliqa is a scalable, secure public blockchain platform.

It's the first public blockchain platform that implemented sharding and achieved a throughput of 2828 transactions per second in its test net.This enables new use cases that have high-throughput demands that were not previously possible on legacy public blockchain platforms.

FAQs

Q: What Miner do I use to mine Zilliqa?

A: Zilminer. You can find it here .


Q: How much do I get per accepted share?

A: Our going rate right now is 30 Zilliqa per share. We are looking at innovating
 this as we speak. This number has high potential to go up. Keep up with our
 future announcements in our Twitter, Telegram
 and Medium.

Q: How Do I connect to the pool?

A: Firstly, create a Zilliqa Wallet using MoonLet, an official Zilliqa Wallet.
 Download the newest version and extract it to a folder you choose. Create a bat                                
 file where zilminer.exe is located. Below are two examples of what should be in          
 the bat file.
Example 1:
zilminer --farm-recheck=10000 --max-submit=1 --work-timeout=14400 --farm-retries=99
 --retry-delay=990 -P zil://[registered address].[worker name]@pool.zil.farm:5000/api

Example 2:

zilminer --farm-recheck=10000 --max-submit=1 --work-timeout=14400
 --farm-retries=99 --retry-delay=990
 -P zil://0x19036f70226309A91B2F541148D4C73e6983eE29.miner
@pool.zil.farm:5000/api        

Q : Why Do I see 0.00 Mhs on my miner? Is my miner not working?

A: Even though Zilliqa is an Ethash algorithm, mining it is very different from mostly
 any other coin you ever tried before. We (all miners) mine Zilliqa
 for exactly 1 minute every 2 – 3 hours (or every epoch).

Q: Why Only one Minute?

A: Zilliqa uses Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) for their consensus. If you
would like to find out more, read their medium article.

Q: If I mine every 2-3 hours for only 1 minute, what do I do with that extra time?

A: Because your graphics cards are not under regular stress, it means that you are saving
 electricity by not using your miner the way you would regularly do.

Q: I still find it is a waste of time, can I mine another coin?

A: Yes, you can, dual mining is encouraged. Dual Mining isn’t what you think it is, read our next point.

Q: What is Dual Mining?

A: Dual mining is not what you think it means even though the meanining is in its name.
 Zilminer allows you to mine your other coins, let’s say ETH, just before the
 epoch time comes around. When it’s time to mine Zilliqa, Zilminer would
 shut down your ETH miner to ensure it has full attention of your graphics
 cards, mine Zilliqa for 1 minute then restart your ETH Miner. This way you
 should think of Zilliqa mining as making extra $ while consuming the same
 amount of time and electricity you would regularly do.

Q: How do I Dual Mine?

A: There is a guide on our github page that has the heading “Dual Mining” that you can follow.

Q: I can’t get Dual Mining to work, what should I do?

A: If you need assistance, we are glad to help you, please contact kid on telegram
 https://t.me/kidkid1 for further assistance. Our support is
 always ready and willing to help you.

Q: I am on hiveos, how do I dual Mine?

A: We have a solution for that also but this requires you to contact kid on telegram
 https://t.me/kidkid1 for assistance. Please don’t be shy.

Q: I do not get any accepted shares?

A: We suggest you increase your farm recheck in your bat file. Farm Recheck is how long
 it takes for your miner to work on one job. Increasing this allows you to work
 longer on that job giving you more of a chance to get that share.

Q: Do you have a telegram group?

A: Yes, you can find us in our Telegram Group https://t.me/zilfarm

Q: Do you have a twitter page?

A: Yes, we do, Twitter Link

Q: Do you have a medium page?

A: Yes we do, Medium

Q: Do you have any new features coming up?

A: Yes we do, join us on Twitter, Telegram, Medium for new announcements.
