Details



Name: NERVA
Ticker: XNV

Algorithm: Cryptonight Adaptive
Algorithm Type: PoW
Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm: LWMA

Block Time: 60 seconds
Maturity: 20 blocks

Launch Date: May 1, 2018



Coin Emission



Total Supply: ~18.4 million + tail emission
Block Reward: Started at 70 (decreases each block)

You can see the current block reward on this page:
https://freeboard.io/board/EV5-se

The % of coins emitted and the block reward over time:





Tail Emission



There is a fixed tail emission of approximately 0.3XNV per block after the main supply has been emitted.

Tail emission should be reached roughly 3 years after the launch date.



Pre-mine



Pre-mine: 180,000 XNV (~1%)*

*See the original thread for further details about the pre-mine and coin launch:

Why has a new announcement been created for this coin?

Why has a new announcement been created for this coin?

Because the original thread has barely been updated since the coin launch and is missing a lot of important information. This one I will try to keep up to date, so the dev can focus on the development of the coin.

POOL IS NOT WORKING; IS IT ?

POOL IS NOT WORKING; IS IT ?

Pools do not currently support the algorithm. Support for mining pools are a possibility for the future, but currently solo-mining with a CPU is the only option. (No GPU mining)

Solo-mining is still very possible currently, but you could likely wait several days or more to hit a block with a single CPU, depending on your hashrate.

good project, rehabilitation in a system is really needed, but in the rehabilitation there must be a very priority, so as not to widen and fail to focus

[MagicSmoker]

Changing the algo preemptively is more or less what I and several other people figured would be necessary to truly fend off large mining operations, and requiring solo mining also sidesteps the issue with one pool dominating the hashrate. Finally, the low total coin supply and a reasonable pre-mine amount (I've no problem with pre-mines - devs need to get paid just like anyone else) makes this highly attractive.

So I just downloaded the Window wallet and have reassigned a Ryzen 5 1600 to mining it for the next day or two as a test. If all goes well I might just keep the Ryzen plugging away at it.

And, looks like I am getting 391H/s with 6 threads. Not bad. With xmr-stak I normally configure 8 threads for Monero7, but I recall seeing somewhere that the scratchpad for XVN is half the size (ie - like CN-Lite)? So would 12-16 threads be better?

UPDATE - I switched mining from the wallet to the daemon and bumped the thread count to 7; doing about 450H/s on average now.

how long estimate i found block with 4 core CPU or 290h/s ?

We have an average day estimator on the Nerva Dashboard - https://freeboard.io/board/EV5-se (along with hashrate, marketcap, coins in supply etc)

Would be about every 1.5 days on average.

Yup same for me, they could have something, ill keep an eye on it!

[MagicSmoker]

Welp, I've been mining for just about 2 days at 450H/s and haven't found a block yet. While I realize that luck plays a huge role here, I also think that if your hashrate vs. that of the network only leads to 1 block per day on average then solo mining is too difficult. I might give it one more day then this CPU is going back to mining ITNS.

EDIT - I just checked the dashboard and it looks like a block hasn't been found in over an hour and the estimator/hashrate reporting is broken. So, stopping mining completely until it gets sorted out.

EDIT 2 - oops, that is the testnet that hasn't found a block in 1.5 hours. Still, no hashrate or estimates available for the mainnet.

There was a problem w/ the API. This has since been resolved and the Main Net data is now populated on the dashboard. My apologies - please post if you have continued issues.  - https://freeboard.io/board/EV5-se

Our network upgrade goes live at block 44500. (about a day and a half). Make sure to update your wallets / miners.

Is nerva resistant to fpga's? They are becoming a thing now since asics cant follow forks.

maybe that was the same for me , i am mining for 2 days now but i also wasn't lucky to find one , i'll keep mining for some days because it all depends on luck
also going to take care of upgrading

I didn't get a single block in 3 days with 460-480H/s so I made good on my promise and put the CPU back to work on ITNS. Starting off with luck that bad I would have needed to find 4 blocks on the 4th day just to earn what the calculator predicted I should, and in the immortal words of Sweet Brown, "ain't nobody got time fo dat."

So overall I think this is an interesting concept, but the difficulty and/or block reward are too high for solo mining even with a decent CPU.
