How to create a Confidential Asset on Beam

BEAM OPEN SOURCE POOL SOFTWARE

following hard fork at block height 777,777 I have undertaken two stress tests on the pool code.
Using https://pool.raskul.com I deployed two tests by renting hashrate from nicehash.

The first test was a prolonged period (around 8 hrs)of around 20Ksol and this produced some fantastic results, with regards to the stability of the pool.

As this was pretty early on in the new BeamHashIII algorithm, i was pleasantly surprised to find absolutely ZERO invalid shares submitted and only a small portion of stale shares (around 0.04ksol over the duration)

The second test was even better, and this was conducted after the difficulty had settled and blocks were being produced on the 1min average as expected..

I pushed 200Ksol for around an hour and again ZERO invalid shares, but this time the stale shares were even lower at 0.001ksol stale over the duration.

This is testament to the fantastic work which has gone into producing the open source pool software and the repo can be found here:

https://github.com/r45ku1/beam-mine

also we have built a payment processor called BASiC which can be found here:

https://github.com/r45ku1/basic


both open source software instances have a full how-to guide.

minor issue on Beamhash

must be the pool you choose to mine on giving you the problems, i'm mining Beam directly and the new version is pretty much no different to the previous.

my pleasure. i have forced to stop the pool temporarily but it will be back up soon.
good luck in making the most optimised miner for BH3!

Global Connectivity with new dedicated Beam Nodes

No-matter where you are in the world today, you should always expect full remote connectivity to the Beam network, to enable fast and effortless Beam transactions. This is why I have been working flat out to ensure that all reaches are covered.
For a quick guide on setting up your wallet to connect to one of my remote nodes, please navigate to
https://www.raskul.com/beam-nodes/

Here's the list for quick perusal

COUNTRY   NODE IP   NODE PORT

Australia   sydney.raskul.com   10127 Brazil   saopaulo.raskul.com   10127 Canada   toronto.raskul.com   10127 China 1   beijing.raskul.com   10127 China 2   hongkong.raskul.com   10127 Finland   helsinki.raskul.com   10127 France   paris.raskul.com   10127 Germany   nuremberg.raskul.com   10127 India   mumbai.raskul.com   10127 Israel   telaviv.raskul.com   10127 Japan   tokyo.raskul.com   10127 Korea   seoul.raskul.com   10127 Nigeria   lagos.raskul.com   10127 Russia   moscow.raskul.com   10127 United Kingdom   london.raskul.com   10127 USA 1   atlanta.raskul.com   10127 USA 2   newyork.raskul.com   10127 USA 3   silicon-valley.raskul.com   10127

I also created a short video, explaining why remote nodes are important , how to set up your own Bean node on a VPS and how to get your Beam wallet connected.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow2pXgoS_w0&t=

My call to everyone is this: if anyone reaches a region in the world where you are finding difficulty in getting the Beam wallet to sustain a remote connection, please email me raskul@beam.mw and I will endeavour to ensure there is full coverage.

Thank you

Raskul
