IRON (or other coin) Dual Mining Guide for BzMiner, Rigel, and TRM

Created by Chris of Flexpool.io




Ziliqa dual mining works by mining ZIL for 1-2 minutes every 60 minutes. During ETH mining, ZIL would pay slightly more than ETH for this short period. After ETH mining, ZIL pays considerably more than any other coin during this period. Basically, by mining ZIL you are achieving similar profits as you would have mining ETH back during the golden days of GPU mining for those 2 minutes.

The Flexpool website auto generates the dual mining .bat for you (https://www.flexpool.io/get-started/iron/dual), but you will need to set up your config so that your overclocks switch from your current ones to ethash (memory bandwidth prioritized) ones to maximize ZIL hashrate during the round.

BzMiner

BzMiner makes it easy to dual mine ZIL by using its configuration generator at: https://www.bzminer.com/config-generator/ Please visit the BzMiner discord for questions/information https://discord.gg/Qz84q3Akus

You can use it to generate the config that goes in your file on Windows or in Hive OS extra arguments. I’ve provided an example of it below.

 

For the BzMiner config file


For Hive OS you have two options, setting it up for dual coin mining or pasting extra config arguments in the first coin to force dual mining.

The below is one example of setting the second coin to mine ZIL. Note that Kaspa is selected because Hive OS in some versions does not allow selecting ZIL, putting zmp://zil.flexpool.io will make BzMiner and (usually) other miners dual mine ZIL anyway.




In the alternative, you can paste the Extra config arguments in the first coin and force dual mining ZIL.
 


 
Rigel

Paste what you want into the below templates. For additional settings, please checkout the Rigel github https://github.com/rigelminer/rigel. Please visit the Rigel discord for questions/information https://discord.gg/KtVuA2j56d

Windows Example:
@echo off
@cd /d "%~dp0"

:: replace the wallet addresses with your own
:: iron + zil (with overclock settings)
:: set core clock offset to 100 for both algorithms
:: set core clock to 1470 and memory clock to 5000 for ironfish (algo #1)
:: set core clock to 1200 and memory clock offset to +1000 for zil (algo #2)

TRM

Paste what you want into the below templates. Please visit the TRM discord for questions/information https://discord.gg/yVRpAnVU8K

TRM works by putting things in order with various commands using space -- to set each command. Be careful as Microsoft Word will autoformat the -- into –.For each command, use a comma to divide cards. For instance card 1 is 1800mhz and card 2 is 1500mhz so we set it as --clk_mem_mhz=1800,1500 For details checkout the TRM download at https://github.com/todxx/teamredminer/releases which has detailed instructions and descriptions of what each command does. Each of these has to be repeated for each algo. For instance, you put your --clk_core_mhz=1530, 1500 and then you will need to do it again for zil. You will notice it repeats twice in the Windows Example, once for ironfish and once later on for zil. Note that TRM allows you to set more specifics for AMD cards such as system on chip (SOC). This requires less power for Iron Fish, but more power for ZIL. I’d suggest setting it higher as it seems like switching it for the ZIL round makes the card unstable. TRM supports switching ZIL OC's for Windows but for Linux they have added the tools for programs such as Hive OS to integrate it, but do not support it manually through Extra Config Arguments.

To quote Kerney "Direct support on win only. Add arguments for clocks/voltages both outside of and inside the --zil .. --zil_end arguments. On Linux the driver just isn't stable, but there we've added an event script-driven approach anyway where a user-defined script gets called on switching events and can set clocks. The Linux setup is typically for distros to implement support if they want to, or advanced users, not casual miners.
"

Windows Example:

/teamredminer.exe -a --ironfish -o stratum+tcp:// iron.fpmp.net:8888 -u eda8dccba5acb4a93deb6939e78a8527ca4fced470e612ca6407b1b4dc635202 -p x --kernel_vm_mode=RR --clk_core_mhz=1530 --clk_core_mv=810 --clk_mem_mhz=100 --iron_end --zil -o zmp://zil.flexpool.io -u zil14fw7uxmrjrlsxdfsjp6razax6ysk2eerc7uryy.trmtest_zil -p x --clk_core_mhz=1050 --clk_core_mv=700 --clk_mem_mhz=1790,1800,1800,1800,1800,1800,1800

2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Iron Fish rises to become the most profitable PoW coin to mine with your GPU! on: April 22, 2023, 05:49:16 AM
With a total network hashrate of 2.69 PH/s (MPS erroneously says 2.92 PH/s due to false data) and a current price of $13 on SafeTrade per token, Iron Fish pays miners $1.39 per 10 GH/s.

A 3080 achieves 17.58 GH/s so this results in $2.44 in revenue a day. For reference, a 3080 mining Iron Fish uses approximately 150 watts.  At $0.1/kWh this leads to a power cost of $0.36 for a total profit of $2.08.

ZIL Dual Mining will add on $0.1541 but will also reduce your IRON income by 2 minutes resulting in a total profit of $2.15 per 3080.

Please check the github for instructions. This guide was only for creating a quick wallet address to mine to. For advanced features I'd suggest using the node wallet in CLI.

Flexpool.io Iron Fish Airdrop Doubled to US$10,000 - Extended to the First Days of Mainnet!

We're glad to announce the extension and increase our airdrop rewards to $10,000! We will airdrop another $5,000 for $10,000 total. The extended schedule is as follows:

Day 1 (April 17th-18) - US$1,000 to be airdropped to testers.
Day 2 (April 18th-19) - US$1,500 to be airdropped to testers.
Day 3 (April 19th-20) - US$2,500 to be airdropped to testers.
-- Mainnet Launch --
Day 4 (April 20th-21) - US$2,500 to be airdropped to mainnet miners.
Day 5 (April 21st-22) - US$1,500 to be airdropped to mainnet miners.
Day 6 (April 22nd-23) - US$1,000 to be airdropped to mainnet miners.

As with the existing airdrop, the rewards will be distributed in $IRON—the native currency of Iron Fish to the same wallet addresses used while mining shortly after $IRON is tradeable. The rewards will be weighted, meaning the more hashrate you bring, the more you will get.

Airdrop will be credited automatically to your unpaid balance. There is no need for additional action from you. Be sure to keep the keys for your existing wallets to not lose the rewards. Happy mining!

I followed the steps and generated a wallet address. I decided to test mining, but I don't know how to check if I have received coins in the wallet. Is there any command written to check availability?

Use your viewing key at https://testnet.explorer.ironfish.network/
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: WoolyPooly mining pool did wrong calculations on ~20th-25th February on: April 17, 2023, 05:35:49 PM
Would you buy a product from an online shop that shows no address, country, or employees?

Several pools are not legal entities so they have no laws they are required to follow or taxes to pay, and obviously you can't chase them if they rug.

Do your due diligence, and if something looks suspicious it usually is. I think checking for an address is an obvious thing to do when choosing who do to business with but it seems like people lose all common sense when they get into crypto.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Flexpool Iron Fish Testnet + Mainnet ($5000 in testnet airdrops April 18-20) on: April 17, 2023, 02:26:35 PM
Earn a portion of our $5,000 airdrop while testing our Iron Fish pool on the testnet during the next three days

We're announcing a mega airdrop for our Iron Fish testnet!

To encourage testing of our Iron Fish pool while it is in the testnet phase and allow us to stress test our software prior to the official mainnet launch, we are announcing a $5,000 USD airdrop to all users who help us with testing our Iron Fish pool on testnet for the next three days. The rewards will be weighted, meaning the more hashrate you bring during the testnet, the more you will get.

Effective starting today, April 17th, at 16:00 UTC (4 PM UTC), the reward schedule is as follows:
Day 1 (April 17th-18) - US$1000 to be airdropped to testers.
Day 2 (April 18th-19) - US$1500 to be airdropped to testers.
Day 3 (April 19th-20) - US$2500 to be airdropped to testers.

Rewards will be distributed in $IRON—the native currency of Iron Fish, shortly after it's tradeable. Be sure to save the keys you are using on testnet—you will need them to receive the rewards on the mainnet. Assuming the current hashrate, a single RTX 3080 would earn $125 through these three days. Hurry up, as there is not much time left until the mainnet launch!

Join us now on stratum+tcp://iron.fpmp.net:8888 — the endpoint will remain the same on mainnet too!

For any questions, please refer to 🐟-ironfish  channel on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/96TS7h3uj8. Happy testing!
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Iron Fish Light Wallet Guide for Windows Hive OS and Ubuntu on: April 16, 2023, 04:19:33 PM
Currently you need to sync a node and run several complicated steps to make a wallet for Iron Fish. There is a GUI wallet coming in weeks but it won't be ready for the April 20th launch.

Fishguy (in the Iron Fish discord) made a light wallet to allow you to skip some of those steps and avoid running the node. His repository is https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust, please star it.

I (Chs2 from Flexpool.io) have written this guide to make it easy to use. Consider joining our discord for Iron Fish information and discussion https://discord.gg/P9kXqQrpc8 and consider mining to the best Iron Fish pool, Flexpool. We're currently the only Iron Fish pool that supports Iron+ZIL dual mining. I've pinned a version of this guide that has pictures in our Iron Fish channel.


This guide will tell you how to install Oreos light wallet on Ubuntu, Hive OS, and Windows so that you can quickly generate a wallet address and start mining. To send a transaction please refer to the instructions on Oreo’s Github https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust or wait for the core developers to release their GUI wallet within a few weeks which you can enter your mnemonic into. Please note that you mine to your "address" but if you enter this address in the explorer you won't see anything as Iron Fish is a privacy chain. You need your keys to view your balance.


Ubuntu:

Step 0: Update
Open Terminal then type in

sudo apt update

Step 1: Install Cargo

sudo apt install cargo

Step 2: Install Oreo’s Iron Fish light wallet tool (Please note this was not created by Flexpool and we have not audited the code)

git clone https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust.git --depth 1

Step 3: Move to the oreos-rust folder

cd oreos-rust

Step 4: Install Iron Fish dependency

./install_dep.sh

Step 5: Build Oreo’s Wallet

cargo build –release

Step 6: Create your keys

./target/release/oreos account new

This will create the wallet “address” you can use for mining and give you your mnemonic+keys.

Hive OS

Step 1: Click Hive Shell Start if you are accessing your rig remotely. If you are accessing it locally, you can type the below directly without the Shell.

Step 2: Please type the below commands and wait for each to finish before typing the next command.

apt-get update
sudo apt install cargo
git clone https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust.git --depth 1
cd oreos-rust
./install_dep.sh
cargo build --release
./target/release/oreos account new

This will create the wallet “address” you can use for mining and give you your mnemonic+keys.

Windows WSL

Step 1: Search for and Open Windows PowerShell

Step 2: In Windows PowerShell type in:
wsl --install
to install WSL. You may need to restart your computer afterwards. WSL may install Ubuntu for you.

Step 3: Go to the Microsoft Store and install Ubuntu

Step 4: Once installed, type Ubuntu into PowerShell to start Ubuntu.
You will be prompted to create a username and password, please do so. Update Ubuntu with
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Step 5: Cargo Install
Now in PowerShell use the following commands:
sudo apt install cargo

Step 6: Install and Run Oreo’s Wallet
git clone https://github.com/hairtail/oreos-rust.git --depth 1
cd oreos-rust
./install_dep.sh
cargo build --release
./target/release/oreos account new

This will create the wallet “address” you can use for mining and give you your mnemonic+keys.

We (Flexpool) have launched our testnet at iron.fpmp.net:8888

For bzminer you can use bzminer -a ironfish -w ironwallet -p stratum+tcp://iron.fpmp.net:8888 --nc 1 --a2 zil --w2 zilwallet --p2 zmp://zil.flexpool.io for Iron Fish+ZIL dual mining

ZIL pays around 10x more than any other GPU coin for the 2 minutes every 60 minutes it runs so it's likely to be a large income boost for Iron mining as well (but you can just mine Iron alone if you prefer).


Our (nodeless) light wallet guide is pinned in our discord.

Mainnet launches April 20th so mining now is just to get your rigs ready for mainnet.

https://discord.gg/38cX8edR

No KYC is needed to mine Iron Fish, that was just for their contests/airdrops.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Iron Fish on: April 02, 2023, 02:45:13 AM
Iron Fish sold tokens for $4.532 during its Series A and has raised $62,517,995 total excluding the unknown pre-seed round.
With daily token issuance of 28,800 this leads to a $ issuance of $130,522 to miners.
Aptos launched at 3.27x compared to what is released at, while Arb went up 14.49x. Investors who buy early pre-launch get a discount.
It is more likely that daily issuance will be around $400,000, putting Iron ahead of ETC and behind Kaspa.

There are four pools that have confirmed that they will support Iron Fish on April 20th (mainnet).

HPool China https://www.hpool.in/

ZK.WORK China https://www.hpool.in/

Hero Miners https://herominers.com/

Flexpool Canada https://www.flexpool.io/

HPool and ZK.WORK have their own miners.
Bzminer is by far the best miner for Iron Fish in terms of hashrate.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Iron Fish Mining Guide & FAQ on: March 19, 2023, 01:22:52 AM
Introduction:
Iron Fish is a Layer 1 blockchain that provides privacy using zk-SNARKs. Elena Nadolinski, the CEO of Iron Fish, compares Iron Fish to other projects such as Aleo below:
“Aleo is more of a generic project for development with privacy features, while Iron Fish is for private transactions. Aztec is focusing on Ethereum chain, while Iron Fish is going to be multichain. In compares with Z Cash or Monero that are Silo chains, Iron Fish has more collaborative principles. Oasis appeared to be no that safe to use, as it uses Enclave technology. This technology already proved itself badly.”
https://medium.com/@ValSavchuk/iron-fish-q-a-privacy-competitors-challenges-part-1-790005fdc0e9#

Iron Fish raised $5.3M in April 2021 for Seed Funding, and $28M in November 2021 during their Series A. Since 2021 they have been running testnets with phase 3 ending recently. They plan to launch mainnet April 20th, 2023. There is no official ticker for Iron Fish yet so I will call the coin IRON as a placeholder.

Issuance:
There is a 42,000,000 pre-mine which will slowly be unlocked which is approximately 16.345% of max supply (256,970,400 tokens). There are 1440 blocks a day, approximately one every minute, with block rewards of 20 tokens for a total daily issuance of 28,800. As blocks come every minute, miners will notice less steady rewards compared to ETH and other coins that have four or more blocks a minute.

Valuation:
It is impossible to know what IRON is worth before mainnet. However, there are some estimations that can be applied. In 2021 they raised $27,600,000 during their Series A. Assuming they sold 20%, that would give them a valuation of $138,000,000 in 2021 before they had a working network. A base for coin valuation could be estimated using this number, which would mean each coin is valued at $0.537 with a total daily issuance of $15,465.60.

This is a pessimistic number that assumes their company is worth the same post-mainnet as it was back when they were just starting out and then values the coin based on the value of the company. A similar company based in California is Chia Network. Chia Network currently has 4608 blocks of 2 XCH each a day for a total daily emissions of 9216 XCH valued at $38.26 each. At $352,604.16 daily emissions, that gives a value of $12.2432 to each IRON.

Obviously there is a large gap between $0.537 and $12.2432, it is likely that the accurate number is inbetween these two. However, new coins tend to have pump and dump cycles so it may take time before a stable price is reached.




How to Mine?
Iron Fish currently uses the Blake3 algorithm for its PoW. This can currently be mined using CPUs and GPUs, primarily using the core. CPUs will be inefficient in terms of hashrate and power use compared to CPUs. Nvidia GPUs appear to do better although it is mineable with AMD. Bzminer is currently the best miner for Iron Fish in terms of hashrate and power efficiency although SRB also supports Iron Fish. HPool has its own miner exclusive to their pool as well. Iron Fish can be mined solo by spinning up a nodded and running the software released by the core developers. Please note that this software requires technical knowledge, it is not for beginners. Please check their Github and Discord for instructions. As Iron Fish is a core heavy algo, it can be dual or triple mined with a memory intensive algo. Iedoc of Bzminer believes that 80%/80% is possible with the right overclocks on some cards meaning that you can get 80% of Iron Fish hashrate and 80% of a memory-intensive algo such as ethash or autolykos. Bzminer has added CPU mining along with IRON/ETC/ZIL support, please checkout his discord for details https://discord.gg/Qz84q3Akus. Please be warned that maximizing your card will make it hot as if you were mining RVN. Iron Fish can also be mined on pools.

Pools:
There are currently 4 pools that have confirmed they will support Iron Fish listed below. The core developers have also launched a pool for testnet that they may support after mainnet. You cannot currently mine Iron Fish as mainnet has not launched, but there is a testnet running that some pools are running servers for. Note that there is no benefit to mining on testnet, all airdrops have ended and coins mined will not transfer to mainnet. Links to the below pools social media can usually be found at the bottom of their website. I encourage everyone to join their telegram/discord/other social media.

Even Pugs, the person who initially "helped" you set up your fake etc zil for e9 pro's, is the person that talks the most shit about you on Bitmain telegram and discord now (his telegram name is *_*). He is also the one that confirmed ETHW is more profitable than your fake etc zil pool. Crazypool isn't the only one that has proven the E9 Pro cannot mine ZIL, but k1pool (who is much more technologically capable than flexpool) and ezil have, as well. Just stop already

We have quite a bit of respect for K1Pool devs. They are wrong it is possible, but they have a really good ZIL implementation we struggle to match.

That being said, crypto networks are transparent and you've yet to explain how we manage to make more ZIL a round per GH/s than Crazypool. If our E9 Pro's aren't working then how is the network giving us ZIL? Is the Zilliqa network conspiring to fake it and airdropping us?

Just stop with the lies, your zil support is fake:

https://i.ibb.co/dbGhTL2/image.png

If we were going to lie about supporting something we wouldn't spend days working with someone to get it to work on their machine.
Maybe you shouldn't accuse us of lying when you don't have hard evidence. ZIL round rewards are more than 100% of what you'd expect from our hashrate.
In ETH terms, if the blocks a day are higher than the pools hashrate should get, there are no problems. Accusing us of faking that it works then ignoring that we're making more ZIL (which means it must be working!) is a funny way to do things.

Crypto is transparent, all data is on chain, we can't fake how much ZIL we get per round. The chain doesn't lie, only people do.

ETHW would have a chance, a tiny chance, with a competent core dev team. But given that the core dev team appears to be a bunch of scammers who were incompetent at coding it (they needed outside help/corrections) and listed a bunch of companies as supporters including us on their website without permission I believe ETHW has no chance. Sell it all asap. If it makes you more money to mine then mine it but sell don't hold.

I really wish someone competent had taken over ETH PoW.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: E9 Pro support for ETC/ZIL dual mining, boosting income by ~32% on Flexpool on: March 13, 2023, 06:11:39 AM
E9 Pro does not support zil mining, period. The miner is technologically incapable of switching to epoch 0 to generate the ZIL DAG file, and Bitmain has confirmed this exact matter, specifically stating that there is "no support for other coins or fallback to previous blocks mining, Epoch support will be updated with block update (meaning ZIL will be supported when the block number reaches epoch 1 in September), and no support for previous Epochs (epoch 0)."

Flexpool's fake ETC ZIL mining not only is less profitable than straight ETHW mining (as confirmed by Pugs), but is a complete hustle to try to get Bitmain users on the pool before epoch 1 begins. They take a small loss on the ZIL side of things but subsidize the loss with their ETC revenue gained and massive hidden fees.

It's a conspiracy!

But seriously you can see our pools hashrate going up along with our ZIL round awards which are onchain. Not to mention that we've been around for years, have a legal address in Canada, and at one time had $25+mil of unpaid miners funds in our wallet and if we were unethical that would have disappeared. We're not going to start doing unethical things over the couple hundred dollars of ZIL we make monthly. If we really were unethical there are a lot of things we could be doing to competing pools.

I invite people with E9 Pro's to test for themselves the profitability...ETHW pays around 10% more than ETC while ETC+ZIL pays 30% more.

I know the person claiming its technically impossible, its the pool op of Crazypool and his staff/miners, just because he can't get it working doesn't mean we can't. He couldn't get his ZIL pool working properly and we're the ones that told him what to do. Without our technical support he would not have a ZIL pool and he's done his best to make us regret helping him. So obviously we know more than him when it comes to ZIL. We're the ones who created ZMP (Zilliqa Miner Protocol) that allows for ZIL mining past Epoch 0 and makes dual mining standardized. We also created a bunch of other things, for instance we were the first pool publicly to have MEV on ETH. We made our own mining program for Chia called FlexFarmer. Flexpool is more than just a simple mining pool, we innovate as well.

There are no hidden fees, we charge 3%+costs for ZIL as ZIL servers are expensive. Any miner on Flexpool knows this as we disclose it under Get Started. In return, miners receive more ZIL per round. You can compare how much ZIL Crazypool makes per round per GH/s to Flexpool. We make significantly more ZIL than them per GH/s because we didn't cheap out on servers. Even with charging for costs our miners make more. And that data directly contradicts your theory that we're faking the E9 Pro working as quite a bit of our hashrate comes from E9 Pro's so you'd see our ZIL per GH/s going lower if so.


I know who you are and I know you don't like us but please don't say weird things like us faking the E9 Pro working and generously airdropping miners to fake it. By that argument any pool could be faking, maybe they are just millionaires buying crypto and giving it to miners out of the generosity of their hearts.

What doesn't lie is onchain data and you can clearly see onchain that per ZIL round we make 10%+ more ZIL than Crazypool. Crazy is not a competent developer, he even had his home address up publicly and we gave him a heads up to remove it before he got attacked (he lives in South America and you can imagine having millions in crypto plus your home address online is not safe even in America). Our ZIL pool setup is technologically superior because we have better developers which leads to more income for miners. And its because we have better developers that we figured out how to get the E9 Pro working. It took us a lot of work to do this, you even know the person who worked with us to get it working on his E9 Pro over a few days. If we were faking it we wouldn't have put so much effort into it and gotten the help of someone in the community. The E9 dual miners +ZIL fine, the newer E9 Pro is capable of doing the same. Bitmain locked the E9 Pro to Antpool (other pools have hacked it to get it mining ETC elsewhere) and doesn't want people moving pools which is probably why they want to hide that it can mine ZIL. But given that the E9 Pro is newer than the E9 with the same hardware and software (to people's knowledge), is it really so hard to believe it can dual mine +ZIL the same as the E9?

Note: I know Rabid ran a test comparing pools which showed that Crazy pays more than us. Rabid lives pretty close to me in Canada and we chat often so I'd say he's a non-biased source, hell he may even be biased towards me. That being said, a short test using different devices isn't a good test. We ran a 7 day test using 1 gpu on each ZIL pool and we came out ahead for ZIL (but behind Ezil for ETC which we assume was just luck).

Its starting to feel like a conspiracy. Multiple random people are saying we're lying about ETC+ZIL and now Bitmain  support deleted my messages and banned me. Seriously if the older E9 with the same hardware can do ETC+ZIL why can't the E9 Pro? It makes no logical sense that it can't. We got it working and multiple E9 Pro users have tested it for themselves. My best guess is Bitmain wants them to stay on its own Antpool.

Suprised how well the E9 mines zil? You should change your hobby - Zil is ethash so sure the E9 mines zil good like any other miner.  Roll Eyes

ZIL on iPollo's doesn't work as well as it does on GPUs as it doesn't store both DAGs in memory. The E9 appears to be switching between the coins smoothly so either its creating the DAG fast or its loading both DAGs in memory. This minimizes the time lost when switching and maximizes income.

Edit: iPollo just released a new Zil firmware maybe they fixed that.

Please tell me, is it possible to use ASIC E9 Pro for mining Ethereum POW coins and other coins that use the Ethash algorithm?
Ethereum Classic has a similar Etchash algorithm, and when mining on video cards, the hashrate is the same on both algorithms. But I'm interested in the situation with the new ASIC.

Sorry all I can say is that ETC+ZIL work on Flexpool and they are 20%+ more profitable than any other option for the E9 Pro. I'm actually surprised at how well the E9 mines ZIL.

We have added support for dual mining, ETC/ZIL on the E9 Pro, making us the only pool this is possible on. Please use format <etcwallet>/<zilwallet>.<workername> under miner name (without <>) and stratum+tcp://etc-<region>.flexpool.io:4444 for mining address (for example: stratum+tcp://etc-de.flexpool.io:4444).

The Antminer dashboard may show the shares as Rejected but you will see them as Accepted on the Flexpool website. You will need to use the ETC firmware. Please contact our support if you have any issues.

According to Colin Wu, F2Pool will not provide services to China. F2Pool unilaterally reserves the right to restrict or cancel services in certain areas. F2Pool can freeze or close these accounts.

Flexpool has servers in Korea and Singapore and will continue to service Chinese miners. We are under Canadian law and will not share our miners data with the Chinese government unless required to by Canada (which will likely never happen in a million years)
