Just to bring anyone who isn't aware up to speed with Masari:
Uncle Mining fork went smooth. The Weighted Harmonic Mean DAA handled it well.
The Mac and Windows GUI are going to be worked on by Thaer this weekend according to Discord.
New explorer is in the works as well to show the Uncle blocks.
Cryptonote now has it's first implementation of Uncle Mining on a mainnet. This is exciting. Looking forward to a very productive 2019.

He needs to get on a podcast. It'd be nice to actually hear him talk real time. I agree - I wonder if https://twitter.com/coachcryptos of the Proof of Work podcast who did the Thaer interview would want to chat with Steve / AngryWasp (though I would also like to see a followup on the progress of SECOR and Uncle Mining with Masari as well). I wonder if CoachCryptos is involved on Bitcointalk at all...

Oh hey! there's an exchange listing now - https://fcbaccount.com/account/exchangenever heard of the exchange but I'm going to test with a few RMX. I guess the devs have reached out to TradeOgre as well.

https://nerva.exchange/ is back live with purchase limits of 0.005 BTC Instant BTC -> XNV for those that don't want to sign up with yet another crypto exchange. (works kinda like changelly, shapeshift, or evercoin. Just send BTC and get XNV.) I've tried it and works well - the limit is there as this is a community-led project and is still undergoing some updates.

Hi all, I have a single PC with an 8700k where I am getting circa 1000 h/s. I choose to use my PC to mine only overnight (circa 8 hours a day) is it still feasible to mine NERVA in this way? Done it last night and nothing so far. I understand it is a lottery to a degree but am I wasting time in my scenario (Balance 0 XNV , Via gui / NERVA Toolkit 0.0.2.0 Beta 1) ? Thank you.
In my opinion, if you are mining in the evening - using your CPU to mine Nerva is a net gain. I think there are many like myself who mine Nerva on CPU but mine something else on our GPU's (I mine either Masari or Wownero). Otherwise my CPU sits at 2-10% utilization. Why waste those unused cycles? Not to oversimplify, but it's better to have a 1% chance at something than a 100% chance of nothing. Also - you're helping to secure the network which is arguably even more important.

Looks like the dev is working on an official Mac version. https://i.imgur.com/m1pYc98.pngAll custom - not a forked wallet or anything, so should be cool to see how it winds up working.

I stick to almost exclusively Monero, but I do like to gamble with some of my sats. I've been rolling the dice on Masari and Nerva recently. So far so good.

I've been mining on a very powerful rig for over 6 hours with no blocks found. It seems others are reporting days without rewards - no pools is not an upside at this difficulty.
While I understand the sentiment, I disagree with the conclusion. Pools only facilitate regular averaged payments relative to the nethash. Solo mining will, over time, payout the same - but requires patience. Patience is valuable. Not only that, but such a small coin would have 1, maybe 2 pools. Those pools would garner a majority of the nethash in a very short period of time. Securing the network is a higher priority than giving in to impatient miners. Just my 2 sats.
